This Is It Video By Michael Jackson Headed For A Marvelous Success

By Mercado Medina

The soon to be released, "This Is It" has Michael Jackson fans pumped and excited to revisit his last weeks before his untimely passing, just four months ago.

Get ready for an upbeat King of Pop to show exactly what he was put on this earth for, to dance, sing and pour his soul out to all his fans.

Michael Jackson died on June 25th in the year 2009, and in the month of October a movie will be out. Actually not a movie, but a "behind the scenes" documentary for his 50-show run at London's O2 arena.

But watching the film you can see he was not. To complete this documentary was a huge undertaking for Director and Choreographer Kenny Ortega. Kenny had over 100 hours of rehearsal footage to choose from to give the audience a glimpse of what Michael goes through for the biggest and best concert tour ever. It was condensed into an almost two hour footage including some of Michael's biggest hits like "Billie Jean".

This "behind the scenes" documentary is interesting to watch and gives you a glimpse into Michael's world. You'll see just what Michael experiences in his daily rehearsals and just what a "perfectionist" he was. He was strong and moved effortlessly across the stage, singing and pouring his soul out, song after song.

He was upbeat, joking and laughing and showed such compassion and kindness toward his team members even though he guided them with a firm hand. He strived for perfection from himself to each member of the dance team, including the musicians, and special effects team alike. And after each practice he always gave a "God Bless" or "It's all for love" to everybody.

You can see that he always wanted everyone to laugh and have fun. It was very interesting to watch Michael because he was such a perfectionist and it showed.

The "This Is It" documentary film truly shows that Michael was happy and healthy in the weeks leading up to his death. One can't help but question why.

Perhaps this film is exactly what we need to remember him by. A way to keep him forever in our hearts, as I'm sure we will be in his.
