This is what we'll miss
I'm not a massive Michael Jackson fan but I have always been drawn to watching him through his videos, be they in support of his hits, or moreover his stage appearances. He was just an amazing performer; eye catching, mezmerising and in many ways unique. This compilation of unseen footage which would have led to an unforgettable world tour, only serves to remind us of what we will miss now that Michael Jackson is no longer with us. For all his troubles and issues in his private life, we are given a chance to bare witness to his creative excellence; his passion for performance perfection and the loyal following of people around him who bask in awe of him. This is It is one of those must have films that should sit in your collection.

This is it
I really loved this dvd. It was a brilliant price and filmed during the last days of Michael Jackson's life. A brilliant last work and a brilliant tribute to his life.

Michael Jackson This Is It
Brilliant film for fans and none fans. Watch the king of pop himself still has excellent dance moves and so energetic its heartbreaking to see such a fantastic person and what would of been in the london tour. Well worth watching!
