Went to the Michael Jackson concert-that-never-happened movie last night and I gotta say---I loved it. Makes you really appreciate his creative talent.

I am going tonight. I loved him! I was so excited that he was making a come back. Sometimes his plastic surgery was disturbing. He was so so good looking early during the PYT, Bad, and Thriller days. He had some plastic surgery but not too much. I have seen interviews where he says he could not stand to look in the mirror because he did not like the way he looked. He didn't have any idea that he was SO hot!
It is so sad how he has been treated for the last years. It seems like it took his death for people to look for the good in him.

I saw it on Thursday. I really loved it. It had me completely entranced for a couple of hours. I really felt for all the dancers and the other folks involved in the tour. This was to have been their job of a lifetime, and they didn't really get to have the full experience.
It was also such a great insight into MJ - the person. We really only knew a caricature of him.
I must say, I really kept all the hysteria surrounding his death at a distance this summer, so this was the first time I felt his loss.
Great movie for anyone who loves music!

I also have tickets for this weekend - can't wait.
Saw him in the 80's and he was awesome - great concert.
Oranthi, who was to be his guitarist for the tour, was on a local radio station last week. What a talent he found!
I know I will love the movie (got Thriller playing now to warm up), but Don's never been an MJ fan; it'll be interesting to see how he reacts.
