Michael Jackson Still Had It in Is This It

By Amy Parish

The modern day Michael Jackson was very different from the classic Michael Jackson that became the King of Pop, and one of the greatest entertainers in the history of the world.

Jackson shut himself out from the rest of the world. His child molestation case and the rest of the trouble that the media and the rest of the world gave him obviously took their toll on Jackson, and his music suffered as a result.

Still, his music obviously faded from the'90s on, as people now look at the'70s and the'80s as his best years. These were unbelievable years, and arguably no one else in music history accomplished what he did, appealing to such a wide base of fans around the world.

Regardless of the case, Michael Jackson's 'Is This It' was a movie that I went into with low expectations. I was always waiting for that one MJ revival, and it was so unfortunate to see his tragic ending, as he left us at such a young age.

I was expecting a sappy movie that played into his issues, with a lot of it covered up by the movie makers and everything else. I was wrong though, and many who've seen the movie will probably tell you the very same thing.

Jackson was a natural born performer, and regardless of his usual physical state, a different Jackson came out while he was on stage during these rehearsal sessions. It was very interesting to see such a transformation.

Amazingly, he still had the dance moves that he did in his prime, and his voice even sounded good too. He said that he wasn't going to go all out with his voice until the concert, but it really makes you appreciate where he was at during his final days.

If you've enjoyed Michael Jackson's music through your life, by all means see this movie. There's no better way to say goodbye to a once in a lifetime legend. - 29967
