Entertainmentoday

 Going into this movie, I already knew Michael Jackson was a legend, pop icon and musical genius. But I have to admit that I didn’t realize how strong his voice was after all these years until I heard him belt out his hits like “I’ll Be There” and “Human Nature”.  It gave me chills.  His signature, velvety smooth voice was still a force to be reckoned with and it was wonderful to be able to experience this on the big screen.  What I loved most about this movie is that you could see how much attention to detail and how much a perfectionist he was in putting on the best show possible.  Mind you, this is no different from any other pop superstar out there, but watching Michael work was like getting a lesson on true showmanship, which is such a rarity in this world of electronic music and generic pop acts.  My wish would be for every young artist to watch this movie and see the importance of musicality in being an overall entertainer.  Michael knew what it took to be a true entertainer and his audience’s needs were always considered and honored in everything he did.  Watching his dancers in the beginning of the movie express their respect towards Michael as a mentor and icon, as well as their gratitude for being selected on this tour was one of the most heartwarming moments for me.  It made me realize how much work and time went into this production, and how proud everyone was to be a part of something so great and to share the stage with someone so legendary as Michael Jackson.  I’m just happy that their efforts didn’t go completely unnoticed.  God bless the Jackson family and all who were involved in making sure that didn’t happen!
