If you want to address me, do it directly instead of being slick. Michael Jackson, dead or alive, is not beyond criticism or questions.

There is no report of the other 4 Jackson brothers being involved in the “This is It” so it's surprising to me that he would do a Jackson 5 bit without the other 4, considering that without the Jackson 5, there wouldn't have been a “Michael Jackson” to begin with.

i saw it last night and was completely blown away, not what we were expecting at all. MJ was amazing considering his ill health, he definitely looked frail but full of energy. we really enjoyed it, my 18 year old is hooked on him, she wants the dvd when its released she loved it. she now know what he is all about. as for the comment about the jackson 5, get real people alot of performers perform without their original band and singers anyway how do we know his brothers were not going to perform with him on some occasions, this is a rehersal not the real thing. people who are filled with negativity should save them, admit it MJ was and still is a genius on the stage and in music as a whole. RIP MJ

I didn't mind the UN represenation, but it would kind of be like Prince & the Revolution with the parts of Wendy & Lisa being played by unknown backup dancers/singers.

It definitely appeared that way. They said, “The Jackson 5!!!” and then these backup singers came on stage. It was UN like representation if you get what I'm saying?

Was he seriously going to do a Jackson 5 bit without the other 4?

MY aunt got free tickets and she begged me to come. I was definitely a fan of MJ but not a fanatic. I'm not really into getting to the movie theater early and waiting three hours for a seat but I have to admit it was well worth it. I thought it was simply going to be a documentary but it was a lot more than that. What I was really impressed with was the special effects and more importantly the genius behind making a great show. Michael would correct them on the intricacies of notes and cues on music. More importantly, there is NO REASON that man should be dead. His dancing skills were still unparalleled and his mind was very sharp. I'm sure he had is ailments but I'm sure it was no more or less than the average 50 something year old man. I think the doctors were enabling him instead of providing the care he needed. In the end I was happy I went and came away with a better understanding of the Greatest Entertainer that Ever Lived. RIP my brotha
