by Viola Chen – Port Moody Secondary, Port Moody BC Jan 5, 2010

5 stars

The music that inspired the world.

Michael Jackson’s This Is It includes two album disks and a 36-page booklet featuring photos from Jackson’s last rehearsal. Along with the compilation of best hits are Michael Jackson’s unreleased demos, most of which can be found on the second disk. These soft, touching ballads allow the listener to explore the creative process of our time’s musical mastermind. Also included is an exclusive spoken word poem from Jackson entitled Planet Earth, which will leave fans from all over the globe captivated. Michael Jackson’s This Is It is not merely a soundtrack for a concert film; it is a celebration of life.

Viola's fave track: Beat It (Demo)

Music is one of the most important things in our lives, though some of us may not know it. I believe it has always existed in one way or another. One of the music icons are Michael Jackson. The King of Pop has really opened our eyes and ears. Since he popularized the one and only Moonwalk, people have been trying to perfect it as well as himself. His songs have been massive hits these couple of decades. He will never be forgotten, he is the renaissance of music. Long Live the King!

"Our time's musical mastermind"
--Wow couldn't say it better myself. I haven't bought this album myself but knowing it's Michael Jackson it's practically default that it gets five stars! I watched the movie "This is it" and it was amazing. I can't wait until it comes out on DVD, January 26th!! Such an untimely end to a life, but his music lives on for many generations to find and enjoy. Truly missed R.I.P. I think I'm going to get that album after reading this review too!
