Is This It is a Delight for Any Michael Jackson Fan

By Jamie Becker

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.

Clearly, Jackson's lifestyle and success brought him a lot of stress that anyone would have a hard time handling. He became secluded and shut himself out from the world, granting sparse media access and producing very little new music.

Jackson's glory days occurred more than 20 years ago and while he's never been the same ever since, he produced some decent music earlier this decade. It was rumored that another album was in the works, but expectations were nowhere nearly as high as they would have been at his peak.

Still, people were always curious about the latest Michael Jackson news, fascinated with his interesting lifestyle and longing for more classics. The world mourned his death last summer, and fans and critics alike agreed that it was tragic.

Expectations were low for this movie across the board, as I've seen many moviegoers saying the same thing. Who would expect a frail, weak Michael Jackson to still have it in him? I know that I certainly didn't.

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.

Jackson's voice sounded like his usual voice, and his dance moves were still some of the best in the game. We saw a playful side of Jackson too, which really brought out the fact that he was in fact an ordinary human being, despite his eccentricities.

Michael Jackson still had it, regardless of what anyone felt. Is This It serves as direct proof of this. Any fans of Jackson will absolutely appreciate this movie. - 31376
