This Is It

Yes, I saw the documentary of MJ which was released yesterday and to say it was good would be an understatement. It is basically clippings from the rehearsals of the show he was supposed to perform this year. But as unfortunate as it was, he couldn't. They had shown the person Michael Jackson was and it was moving. I mean to see a man so calm and courteous at all times ( even when he was in the worst phase of his life) really amazed me. He seemed so away from everything when he was singing( even during the rehearsals). He really put his heart into his words and it was... beautiful. Music was his life and his passion. And this passion could be felt by all of us sitting in the theatre and watching him perform. To see a man standing and being the same enigma he always has been after going through so much in his life, was pretty... I am seriously out of words here. All I kept thinking was " here is a man who has forgotten his pains and is still going on, so why do we give up so easy? " We all need to find that passion in our life and come what may go after it. The guy is just awesome.
There were clippings of him rehearsing some of his greatest numbers , " Thriller", " Beat it", " They don't really care about us" and there was a song for his family too- for the Jackson 5. That song really moved me. Here was a man singing about how he will stand by his family always and then to think of his end......
I have never been an avid follower of MJ I must admit. But watching him last night, really made me see the man. My appreciation for him only grew more.
To quote a dear friend " Music was his redemption" and it truly was..
So here is to the King Of Pop!!!
