From demos to rehearsals to backstage footage to studio sessions, I’m a total sucker for any depiction of the creative process in both film and music. Oftentimes, I feel that the journey towards the finished product is much more interesting than the end result itself. Case in point, I simply cannot get enough of old and dusty analog-sounding demos (and the more differences with the end product, the better). Thank you for giving us access to all of these rarities, Internetty.

Having said that, tonight’s the night I get to catch This Is It in theatres along with the millions (and millions!) of MJ fans over the next 2 weeks of its limited release. To mark the occasion, I plan on wearing an outfit I would’ve worn had I ever gotten the chance to see MikeyJacks in concert. No, it’s not a costume (despite it being so close to the Halloweekend), just a casual outfit that’s a bit more dressed up than I would normally wear out to the movies (weather permitting, of course). Because, after all: This. Is. It.
Hilarious. Further proof of the greatest respectfully competitive rivalry that the entertainment world has ever seen and will never see again. Looking forward to peeping MJ’s This Is It on the 28th.

MJ rehearsing for the This Is It tour, at the Staples Center on the Tuesday evening before his untimely passing. The King looks great here and is clearly a million times the dancer at 50 than I ever will be at any age. In particular, I love the She Drives Me Wild medley (with the horn-honking gesture and all). I also understand that dancers don’t go full-on out during the practices, so just imagine how incredible MJ would have looked and moved when the spotlight would’ve been on him for real in London a couple of weeks from now. I have no doubt that the Michael of old would have returned to kick some serious ass on stage. But imagine is all we can do now. This video shows a glimpse of the comeback that could have been. And it breaks a billion hearts in the process.
