Everyone probably has an opinion on Michael Jackson. I wouldn’t say I am a fan but I have appreciated his music over the years. What I haven’t appreciated was his dancing. The dude could cut rug.
Sandy and I went to see “This Is It”, the Michael Jackson movie. It chronicles his rehearsals prior the anticipated tour right before he died. I must admit that it started out pretty slow. I was wondering how they would turn this concept into a movie. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the movie and even enjoyed it. He was an amazing dancer. The ironic part was that his back-up dancers were probably 30 years younger than him. There has been some questioning about his physical well-being prior to his death. The movie attests that he was in damn good shape for 50 years old. I was impressed.
While it did run kind of long I found myself tapping to most of the songs. How many hits did he have? You may not want to fork over $20 to see it in the theater but you may want to rent ”This Is It” once it hits the stores.
He may have been a freak show but MJ could certainly put on a show.
