The Michael Jackson behind-the-scenes concert film offers a last glimpse of the mad genius at work

All the talk you've heard about Michael Jackson being wound up and exhausted after his rehearsals for the O2 arena concert to be held this July, sounds like complete bull.

The man jumps and kicks around on stage and pulls off the meanest moves ever invented. This Is It is a hard blow that reminds you about the music industry's big loss.

This Is It, a blockbuster of a rehearsal film, shows Jackson giving it his best shot and urging his crew to "give it your all."



You just can't stop thinking about the jaw-dropping production quality and the sheer perfectionism that Jackson brings to every aspect of the show whether it's about adding a "bam" to Human Nature or more soul to The Way You Make Me Feel he's calling the shots all the way.

The film also gives you an idea of how Michael conducts himself on stage he's firm yet incredibly gentle with his crew often telling them that they were doing a great job but he hates it when any move or sound is out of cue.
He's also seen as an extremely generous performer when he gives guitarist Orianthi Panagris cool tips for Black or White.

The rehearsals for what was meant to the biggest comeback of the year tell you why no other pop star can push the boundaries of imagination to make music and dance come alive like Michael Jackson did.
