Hmm that's interesting, it's the first time someone brings that up I didn't think it was him but anyway MJ would never put Blanket in anything like that, he is too young to choose being on stage and MJ said that they would only going on stage if they wanted to and he could explain what would come with that choice.

Okay, guys I just got back and I am completely and utterly in love with Michael Jackson. That man was/is a GENIUS. I was so glued to the screen. Every dance move, every note, every song and every effect. I was just speechless.

Michael was beyond cute and I mostly laughed through the movie. The part that was getting emotional for me was near the end when they started playing/singing Man In the Mirror. I also got emotional at the beginning when he was singing out toward the audience and he said/sung "I love you". It felt like my heart just broke into a million pieces when he said that. I also kind of got sad during the "I'll Be There" montage.. Just seeing him little and performing with his brothers just makes me wish he was still here

I loved his cuteness in the movie and his playful manner and how he never raised his voice, but he was in control. I have to tell this part.. When Michael was telling, I think his name was Michael Bearden, to let TWYMMF simmer and that he hit it too soon.. A woman that was sitting behind me said "You tell him Mike.. Keep him in line".. I was literally bursting out laughing when she said that. Good thing Michael did something funny after that so I could laugh out loud..lol

As I said, the movie was outstanding. I am definitely getting the DVD because it is so worth it. I have so much respect for Kenny for keeping an out for him and telling him to get some water. He was great with Michael.

The Earth Song bit was fantastic with the little girl and the bulldozer.. OMG!! That was intense.. The new SC and Thriller short film This concert was going to be so awesome and so out of this world greatness.

LONG LIVE THE KING OF ENTERTAINMENT/MUSIC..

It's all for love. L-O-V-E..

Plain GENIUS that Michael...Just genius..

Yes, that's exactly what I love the most. He was totally in control during the whole film, but never raised his voice. He knew what he wanted his songs to sound like, he knew how the performace should be and he was always gentle and sweet, even when he wasn't getting exactly what he wanted.
The way he said to the music director that he wanted it to sound like he wrote it and how it was on the record.

I know right? Me too! That part really stood out for me, he was so sweet and cared for Michael so much. Always thinking about his safety and healthy. The love and respect felt for Mike is obivious in this film, since the amazing editing of the film to the way we see him talking to Mike and doing what he could for him to feel comfortable and pleased. The bit where he calls Michael Sr.

It's the same Tanya just mentioned. Because Love Lives Forever!

Exactly. He knew what he wanted, how he wanted it and how he wanted it played. He was pure genius to the end..

I know it.. Like when Michael was on that crane/cherry picker thing and he wasn't holding on, Kenny was like "Michael, Michael please hold on" and Michael looked like a little kid there. He was adorable.. and I liked when Kenny was like "go get you some water" and Michael starts singing "WATER, WAATTERR"..lol

Oh, really, great minds think alike.. When I saw that at the end of the movie, I remember seeing that in your sig and I was like "That's were Luka got that from". That's when I thought up the title..

Michael has given me so much inspiration... My youth group is singing this Sunday in church and I've been trying to figure out a way to do the bridge to make it not sound repetetive.. After watching This Is It, Michael inspired me and when I was going home, I figured out a way to do the bridge of our song..
