Indeed, people just couldn't have enough of him neatly sums up the kind of celebrity that he was - his popularity could perhaps rival even religious figures! I agree, the Thriller segment was a bit over the top; but contrarily, it also reminded me of the legendary original Thriller video. Yeah, as you've so aptly observed, his rehearsals do raise an even stronger question on his death. But then, when someone is on pills and prescription drugs, you just can't gauge/predict how good or bad he really is.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-90599142955279114572009-11-11T08:13:04.579+05:302009-11-11T08:13:04.579+05:30My own house is like a Michael Jackson Mecca, with...My own house is like a Michael Jackson Mecca, with my wife Lucille and five kids huge fans of Jacko. His death hit us all hard, and the purchasing of books and films connected to MJ has not abated. We saw this film the night it opened and my wife and kids went a second time over the weekend while I viewed something else. It is simultaneously exhilarating and melancholy, and it is proof parcel to the world that Jacko was inmuch better physical condition than his untimely death suggests. But of course we all know the issues now that fueled his demise. The Thriller segment with the graves and expressionistic touches was a bit over the top, but the film noir sequence with Jacko as a dapper Sam Spade was effective, and a number of the song standards were well-performed. The dancing throughout by everyone involved was of course the central attribute.<br /><br />Outstanding capsule here.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
