This Is It: Michael Jackson Still Had The Moves!
Posted on Mon Sep 21, 2009 09:20 AM PDT
While the King of Pop looks a bit skeletal in this clip from This Is It, he's still got the voice and you can tell he had the moves somewhere in there! As much as we miss MJ, we're thankful we can still enjoy his music and rehearsal footage. But after watching the clip above, do you think Michael would have made it through all of his London concerts?
Will you go see this is it later next month?

Hey - the man still had it. Yes, he resembled 'Skeletor' from He-Man, but he could freakin sing!
YES Michael could have made it!
It seems forced.
He looks weak and tired.I feel so bad for him

Long live the King!
He will be missed..but i do believe he would have made it.
i agree with all the commenters on this page.
yes he looked awesome and he could sing and he was still handsome.
but he looked tired and overworked.
i can't believe they went against the grain and added more concert when he just wanted 10 shows.
the king of pop 4ever
"but he looked tired and overworked."
He wasn't tired and overworked. He was a drug addict. Big difference.
Michael would have gained weight after opening night, he always did during his Bad, Dangerous and History tours. He was so caught up in making the show perfect that he would forget to eat and over-rehearse at times. I do the same thing when I have a major research project to complete and the deadline is approaching.
Remember when the trial started, he was able to pull himself up onto the top of he SUV in 2 swings. His camera man, who weighed at least 30 pounds more than he did, needed body guards to push him from behind and he barely made it. If Michael was really starving he would be fainting all the time and need to be hospitalized for dehydration as he was during the end of his trial.
As someone who still suffers from chronic insomnia, I have been prescribed most of the medications that Michael was taking including the Ativan that helped kill him. I can tell you that you develop a tolerance to them within a couple of weeks and need higher doses. Yoga, relaxation and all that crap does not work - it's simply the way the my brain is wired. Sometimes I'm awake for 72 hours straight and I feel desperate to fall asleep. Sleep therapist can't fix it, all they do is monitor you and tell you to work less.
If insulin worked in the same manner as sleep meds would you call a diabetic a drug addict? Big Pharma has no interest in making psychiatric drugs less addictive, that's how they make their money. Many people die every year just trying to get a good night's sleep so that they can go to work the next day. Michael was just trying to lead a productive life that he and his children could be proud of, he does not deserve to be judged for that.
Someone should have been taking care of him . He seems worn out. How could they keep increasing his workload by adding shows . They all should be ashamed of themselves. GREED
With friends like these who needs enemies
Michael looked amazing. He definitely still had it. Yes he was thin, but skeletal is pushing it. I don't know what you are all saying.. how does he look tired & overworked? Its "Human Nature".. he can't jump all over the place & moonwalk to this ballad. Come on people, if you're bored, there are better things to do than to find faults where there are none.
Long live the King!
The people that are saying he looks tired actually care about him!
He is the King Forever and we should have appreciated and cared for him more .Now he is gone
He looked really thin. If he wasn't preparing for his comeback concerts he would still be alive. May he rest in peace.
12:42 shut up you weirdo you try and act all knolegable and smart you're just dumb.....and hes not really singing dumbass
No, I don't think he could have done a bunch of shows. I think he knew it as well and it depressed him. He was a perfectionist and if he couldn't do it all the way he used to then he wouldn't want to do it at all.
this doesnt look al that great
No because he didn,t make it to the first concert?
BLESS HIS SOUL. WE MISS HIM. WHY OH WHY. HE WAS SO MAXED OUT ON DRUGS IM NOT SURE IF HE COULD HAVE MADE ALL OF THE SHOWS. BUT NOW WE WILL NEVER KNOW.
i just hope they didn't force you into doing these concerts that drag you into stressful insomniac last days of your life.You're fifty, how can you make it to 50 concerts?Why forced you after what you've done to the world?You open barriers.You bring the people around the world together.You inspired people, bring them hope,make them tears with hapiness, overwhelmed. You helped lots of sick kids around the world.You make a difference in the world.How could they have forgotten all those things?Why treat you like this?I heard all your songs from the heart.How you were so happy and so in love in your younger years.How you wanted to make a change and help heal the world as you grow a up.and later years how badly you dream of a happy peaceful life with family and friends who really loves you and want to be with as you grow old
12:42 I totally agree. @ 2:08 PM you are a huge idiot! It's fault of people like you if this world is without empathy, full of wars, greed. Shame on yoy asshole! XD
This is it!my final curtain call.heartbreaking.its like sayin goodbye.coz we sure see and know those people bringing michael to his final destination, think of 50 concerts, a suicide for someone who is not feeling well, from someone who always sing 'smile though your heart is aching....his body looked tired..just imagined 4 decades of nonstop making songs, recordings, touring, dancing and singing..and worse, depressing gossips made by paparazzi.you havent given the right to privacy.I believe if youre not tough enough you'll break apart. Thinking michael he just wish he could still do those things wayback, he has a great spirit, he loves to sing and dance, he loves to perform, but what can we do humans grow old, its inevitable. I just wish michaels still alive. I just wish someone was there for him to take really good care of him.He really deserves that.I love you michael joseph jackson.I have watched you grow.I have watched you bring magic to the world.I have watched you shine.I have you watched you fall.But always you leave footprints along the way.Your work of arts will always be remembered.I will always remember you as the captain of the ship who keeps on sailing no matter what, keeps doin his best, keeps on tryin', always tryin to be startin' somethin'..You always inspired me.I love you always my dear michael.Rest in peace.
may michael now rest peacefully!he was so misunderstood.we should have cherished his gifts more while we were blessed to witness them!k
All of you just f*** yourselfs, the world killed this man and people like you should feel guilty. You make me sick. Michael was the most kindest human being this planet ever had, just wanted to share his love with everyone. But all you dumb asses couldn't see that, you couldn't see through the man, of who he really was. I'm just sad that none of you knew Michael Jackson, like I did. You've all missed such great times.
You watch the ENTIRE movie, and yes, he still had it, and would have been able to make all 50 had he not been taking so many drugs to sleep! Did you see the toxicology report? NO ONE could survive THAT high an amount of drugs in their system! People in their 20's would have died with that high an amount in their system!!
