I am watching Michael Jackson's rehearsals for "This is it" shows on Mnet and to say he was thorough is a gross understatement. He was involved in all aspects and really took his music seriously!

And the array of artists involved - background vocalists, dancers, instrumentalists etc., man! those who were to attend those shows would have been in for a treat! The sheer number of those involved - from lighting, props etc. - it was a whole industry going on. I finally understand why people used to pay obscene amounts of money to attend his shows.

They even shot videos to go with some of the songs including a complete re-shoot of Thriller Zombie scenes. I'm really impressed. Too bad he had to go!

Compare that with our so called musicians "live" performances. A CD playing and fellow who can't even remember words to his own song trying to lip sync and jump around.

I had the same problem @magigi. I switched to Mnet at half time and had one serious problem going back to the game. I had to flip between the two but the game really suffered. Knowing my love for football, you can imagine how engrossing the Michael show was! Can't mind watching it again if there is a repeat!

Who gives a heck a about m.j . He died and he's in hell burnin eternally. I hated the dude with a passion.

@GG,
What?....I finished half dead...lol.Sasa hii ni nini?

....i give credit where it deserves....the 'this is it' show rocked.....MJ's music wasn't my cup of tea but i reaaaalllly enjoyed it yesterday....i can watch it over and over if repeated..
