THIS IS IT....

It would be an understatement to say this but its a fact, watching a movie had such an impact on me that I thought I had to write a post on it after what almost seems like ages. The movie was "This Is It", a documentary on the rehearsals of the last Michael Jackson concert in London, a concert that sadly never happened. During childhood days, I never followed English songs that much until MJ arrived on the scene. His dance caught my attention first and then slowly his singing style and later the lyrics. It was a natural progression of sorts. And it was the music video era and the influence of his music videos during those times was phenomenal.
While watching this documentary, right from the word go I could sense what was called the MJ hangover. The principal dancers who got selected through rigorous auditions for the show, the guitarist, costumes and every department knew they were going to be part of something special, very special. The ecstasy was there, the heart beats palpable and the euphoria was mindblowing. The visual effects department had left no stone unturned to make it look world-class. And then it was upto the performer par excellence to set the stage on fire.
The Man in the Mirror says Jus Beat The Smooth Criminal,irrespective if he's Black or White and thus Heal the World...THIS IS IT..MJ ur fans Will Always Be There For You and they Just Can't Stop Loving You..
As each of these songs in the above sentence was rehearsed, I was only mesmerised. Two statements in the documentary which he says that made me emotional were " I wanna go higher and I trust you" and "I want you to shine here now" . Just goes on to show the respect he had for other artistes of the band and the crew members. A movie not to be missed, please go and watch if you wanna know what's liking what you do feels and looks like...
God Bless You MJ...and thanks for giving me the urge to write back...
