I saw it last night. I've never been a huge Micheal Jackson fan but I have to say the man was a genius. He had his hand on every part of that concert from music to dance to camera work and everything in between. Truly a genius. It made me cry and made me mad. He took himself out with drugs that should only be used in a hospital just so he could sleep. There are other ways to get to sleep.

My mother and aunt went to an 11:00 p.m. showing a couple of weeks ago (LOL, they're both in their 70's and usually long in bed by that time) and they both said it was terrific.

My short answer: saw it, loved it. The long answer is much longer but I would recommend it to anyone. They had assembled an amazing backup band, dancers and backup singers. The production would have blown everyone away. The special films they made for the production were awesome. He was an amazing talent and a perfectionist; it was bittersweet to watch.

Thx Ruthie! I just asked about a thread yesterday, I thought for sure one was here already but couldnt find it. Bill and I loved it!!! I cried when he sang I'll be there....just look over your shoulder honey..... I was with a boring row...not one person was groovin in their seat! I was toe tapping and swaying throughout the movie. I just cant listen to his music without moving and boppin to the beat. The sets and movies they created were awesome! That was going to be the best show ever! Bill said we are buying dvd if it comes out. I am hoping for even more behind the scenes. I wanted to see more on the special lighted costumes, they sounded amazing.

ps..even when he wanted that musician to do something a little different he was being super nice. That musician was being kind of an ass and I was sitting there going I cant believe this guy has the nerve to talk back to MJ about HIS music! That guy came off like an arrogant ass.

It's definitely coming out on DVD & Blu-Ray. I had read it will not be in stores by Christmas but sometime in January. Here's the Amazon DVD pre-order link: http://tinyurl.com/ybvxzup Oh, and the young blonde lead guitarist, (Aussie) Orianthi - she's 24 and really amazing. She just released her first U.S. label CD: http://tinyurl.com/ycs696m

that girl is beautiful and talented!! I was hoping to see that one of the kids from so you think you can dance. I thought one of them may have been one of his dancers but I didn't recognize any of them. The lead dark hair girl looked familar though. Thx for the info Bonza!

I loved this and am so glad I saw it. I surprised myself by choking up and crying several times....his music has been there throughout my life (same age) and it's just so sad that he's gone. The concert was going to be incredible--Michael was truly a gifted artist and sweet person. I ordered the DVD. Thanks for the link, Bonza.

I went to see this over the weekend with DH and a couple friends. I have the attention span of a and usually get bored very easily at movies so I almost had to be dragged but I'm so glad I went. The only time I was a little bored was when they did the duet I Just Can't Stop Loving You, I kept thinking, 'Please do, just stop already.' That said, my audience was the opposite of Pamy's, everybody was dancing in their seat and, something I haven't seen in years, a standing ovation at the end of the movie.

I wasn't being dirty, I don't know why G-N-A-T turned into red dots.

Friend, It's from Big Brother, when some of us here referred to Natalie by that name. I suppose we can ask the mods to finally allow us to use G N A T again in our regular posts. Yoo hoo, any kindly mods around?

Thanks for the explanation, Mameblanche. I've never watched Big Brother so I wouldn't have figured that one out on my own.
