Audiences will be given a privileged and private look at Jackson as he has never been seen before. In raw and candid detail, Michael Jackson's This Is It captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his final show.

I own a couple of M.J's early solo recordings, and of course who didn't love The Jackson 5. I was recommended this DVD and got to borrow it from the Library. I enjoyed it as I had never seen MJ in concert. He was a charismatic performer in the league of Mick Jagger and James Brown.I watched the DVD with the subtitles on because even though I knew MJ was a fantastic singer, I could never understand his lyrics. Oh My God they have got to be some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard! Not GENIUS material. He did allot of repeating a certain phrase over and over. "Dance in the Round" "Annie Annie Annie" . I never listened to him after he got way crazy with the plastic surgeries and other exploits. He was such a good looking guy. He really did not want to look like Papa Joe.Rest In Peace Michael, if you are really dead. -- Nice Surprise
A must see for any Michael Jackson fan, the man was a total genius, I'd also recommend the book "The Michael Jackson Tapes" which contains a series of interviews with Michaels confidant Rabbi Schmuley and really puts some insight into his life behind the music. -- Beautiful Movie
If you want to see some great rehearsal and concert footage of the King of Pop before his death this video is the one for you. If you are a true Michael Jackson fan this DVD really does a great job covering the King of Pop at his best during all of his rehearsals as well as some of the concert footage and some ads that he also made during his last moments before his death. All the footage that you see in this DVD is all of the King of Pop doing what he loved to do and that was sing as well as dance and do his choreography according to the way he would do it and also making sure that everything would be perfect and just the way he would want everything to go in his shows. And it was sad when he finally left us but this video really show Michael right before his death in his rehearsals before he went on tour but it was not meant to be. So if you want to see Michael Jackson in great rehearsal and concert footage before he passed on, By all means purchase this one, it is really great. and it truly shows him at his best. -- This is great concert and rehearsal footage before Michael Jackson's death.
What a great glimpse into the life of a man no one knew but everyone talked about. He was an extraordinary person and it is shown plain as day here by his friends and associates. RIP, MJ. -- He was amazing.
I really enjoyed this DVD. I didn't get a chance to see it when it was on the big screen and that's why I purchased it. I especially liked the added features. One was about the costumes that had been made for him to wear. That really brought it home for me. My husband wasn't going to watch it but got sucked in and enjoyed it just as much,if not more, than I did! He really enjoyed the music. I found it interesting that they had all of the footage that they did. -- This is it
