You have about one week to catch Michael Jackson’s "This Is It" and it is definitely worth at least one watch for every fan. 

You know you are an awesome entertainer when everyone your from the back up singers, dancers, band on down to the stage hands grew up with your music and moves and you can still keep up with them all.

Michael told his crew that he wanted his concert to be a piece of "escapism" and take the audience to places they have never been before. 

If the concert had gone as planned all of the unfortunate ones that did not get a chance to witness it in person would have appreciated this documentary on the big screen as an okay second to the real thing. Clearly Michael was involved in every aspect of the show from choosing the dancers (expert pole dancers, who knew?) to how long the music should "simmer."

If you thought Michael may have been rusty then this proves you wrong. Although he was hitting all the moves and notes effortlessly during the rehearsals you could tell he was holding back for the show. And watch closely I think MJ does his version of the “Halle Berry” during the "Billie Jean" rehearsal.

Being in Michael's show must have been a dancers dream to dance with him or just watch him rehearse and get to sit back and let your screaming 'Mi-chael!' roar.
