“THIS IS IT” Out Tomorrow!

The time has finally come: Michael Jackson’s This is It film is being released tomorrow in theaters for a two week run.

 

Since his death on June 25, people have been anxious to see footage from what would have been a 50-performance concert series in London (beginning in July), also titled the “This is It” tour. Jackson had been preparing for months for his farewell, blowout tour.

The film will feature 24 songs performed by Jackson (click “More” to see the full list), including his #1 hits along with other powerful and famous songs. Jackson’s music inspired billions of people around the world. Whether or not you agree with the idea of releasing the rehearsal footage as a film, you can’t deny that it will probably give a lot of grieving fans a little bit of closure after his sudden death.

 

Just this past weekend, I actually visited the gates of Neverland Ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley. As I walked up to the stone wall I noticed that it seemed kind of dirty. It turned out that what I thought was dirt or grime was actually messages written by fans, saying thanks and that they miss him. It’s not easy to get to the ranch—it is literally in the middle of nowhere. But people from all over the globe made the trip to pay their respects.
