2009-06-06 Production checks and stage rehearsals

Michael and his team checks some special effects & stage production for the show. When Michael takes off the Balmain jacket, he is ready to perform on stage. He rehearses a few songs from the second half of the setlist.
At the end of the evening, the complete staff gets on a round and Michael says some inspiring words for what they expect to live in the coming months.
Songs rehearsed:
Black Or White
You Are Not Alone
Will You Be There
Billie Jean
Man In The Mirror

Mike’s passing was such a loss of a talent and a humanitarian. 💔

НЕВОЗМОЖНО СМОТРЕТЬ ЭТО ВИДЕО СЛЁЗЫ СЛЁЗЫ 😭😭😭МИР ПОТЕРЯЛ САМОГО НЕВЕРОЯТНО ПРЕКРАСНОГО ЧЕЛОВЕКА НА ПЛАНЕТЕ РАВНЫХ КОТОРОМУ НЕ БУДЕТ 😥😥😥🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Si je l'avais connu et que j'étais proche de lui, je lui dirais de prendre sa retraite et se reposer dans son palais ou même dans une ville loin des yeux pour rester en vie . Mais comme Dieu avait déjà son plan il a éloigné des gents qui voient dans le spirituel et qui prédisent les évènements avant leur arrivés. Là où il danse et bien avant il était déjà mort . Juste il disait au revoir tout simplement. Même quand on est pas prophète on sait bien que c'est finit et que sa santé n'est plus au beau fixe. Il dansait pas comme ça . Son esprit est loin de là où il est 😢

This man put way too much hard work into This is it for it to not go to the first show is so sad. The world still misses Michael everyday. It’s been 15 years and it doesn’t feel easier it still hurts that he’s not here. I wish I could just sit down with him and talk. Talk to him about anything. MJ was a great listener and just loved to talk. I miss hearing his voice and how passionate he was about anything that intrigued him.

[@lindahopkins5675]

Watching Michael Jackson just like he still here and waiting for the concert to be here soon ,Really misses him The King Of Pop Michael Jackson still RIP ❤😢

[@DonVitosLazyEye]

I freaking love seeing Michael wear a military style jacket like he'd wear in the 80's. Michael seemed wear just whatever he wanted in public even when it looked...very random. So to see him here it really feels like the Michael that the world hadn't broken yet. I really hope he still found even the slightest amount of joy in doing all of this again when he didn't want to do it.

[@ANITACHEONG-em8mt]

I missed him so much❤

[@foottygogo2018]

เห็นได้ว่าเขาเหนื่อยล้ามาก และดูไม่ค่อยมีแรง แต่เขาก็พยายามซ้อมอย่างเต็มที่ ยิ่งคนคาดหวังกับคอนเสิร์ต ก็ยิ่งทำให้เขากดดันต้องการให้คอนเสิร์ตออกมาสมบูรณ์แบบทีสุด สาเหตุของการเหนื่อยล้า เกิดการที่เขาเป็นโรคนอนไม่หลับมาเป็นระยะเวลายาวนาน เนื่องจากความวิตกกังวลหลายอย่าง การแก้ไขปัญหาทีไม่ถูกต้องโดยการใช้ยาบางชนิดช่วย และใช้ยาในปริมาณที่เพิ่มมากขึ้นเพื่อให้นอนหลับ จนถึงขั้นใช้ยาสลบ แต่ก็เป็นการหลับที่ไม่ถูกต้อง จนร่างกายรับไม่ไหว และหัวใจล้มเหลวในที่สุด เขาจะอยู่ในใจของฉันตลอดไป อัจฉริยะที่น่าสงสารของฉัน🤍

[@user-qm8cx9fh8c]

Я бы сказала, для 50 лет, он хорошо двигается! Я вообще не поверила, , то он умер, глядя на его репетиции❤

MJ was doing some completely different moves for this

[@akamach1nez611]

Absolute best… all these funny comments about being tired and all that are just haters 😂

[@rashadjames8996]

There was no way he was gonna pull off 50 concerts in the shape he was in

[@user-cj4xm2tw2z]

I was looking for this comment. Question with MJ respect and condolence but after the Billie Jean he was asked drink water. He in a humor but idk it gave me a bad vibe the way MJ said water, water. Almost came off as sarcastic with charades Ortega like lalalalalala. Idk reading your comment I was thinking cause I saw the lifetime movie that he felt like he wasn’t able to do 50 shows. And I know MJ was using something. You see him out of shape for this and tired out right?

Entendo que, para fazer o grande espetáculo, ele desse prioridade à sua inigualável forma de dançar. Contudo, com isso ele muitas vezes nao cantava(nao me refiro a este video de endaio, falo dos shows mesmo). .as é isso que o showbizz elege como mais importsnte e as pessoas tbem,entao, tudo ceeto.

Сердце кровью обливается 😮

[@Chumblow]

During the Man in the Mirror rehearsal, it looks like he's singing live when you read his lips, but it's dubbed over.

[@user-ws4yb6sq6o]

他太累了 還是將舞跳得完美

[@mrpussinboots4252]

Why does it look live? It's album vocals pitched down with few "live"ad libs thrown in.

[@Chumblow]

@@mrpussinboots4252 because Michael's lips are still moving, they just don't line up with the track that's being played. Meaning he's probably singing live, just not with that much energy.

[@Liudmila.bj1du]

Как же он похудел... Бедный, и переживал за тур, и лекарства, и ...

[@user-xb1gn8dh8m]

И к тому же 1 раз в день ел 😮

[@TerrellAmari]

You can tell something is wrong with him.. he isn’t even moving like his normal self

[@Liudmila.bj1du]

Не забывайте, что ему уже 50 лет плюс плохой сон, плюс потеря веса, плюс тревога за будущий тур, плюс лекарственная зависимость. Кто-то и без этого букета не смог бы так двигаться, руководить процессом. Интересно было бы почитать воспоминания тех, кто был с ним рядом на этих репетициях.

[@Xscape128]

He's passed his prime here and didn't want to go all out just for a rehearsal

[@charlajefferson9220]

50 is not old. This was more than age related.

[@NadeeshaPrathiraja]

Yes that's true,he was not normal,not like before,I noticed it, if someone would notice about Mike's behavior,or treat him ,maybe he will be still with us,I miss you Michael,I love you so much

[@Ronald-sg4ym]

I agree

[@gabrielvalerianomanalang]

Woah! From what source did you get that aggressive version of MJ singing the last verse "Billie jean is not my lover!" in 6:19? In the official release, it's not that aggressive. Was that aggressive sounding Michael came from one of his billie jean demos? If yes, from what number of take? If not, from where was it taken?

[@Tyro74]

It is from the TV Spot of Billie Jean for this is it. They are vocals from this rehearsal

این آخرین تمرین آقای مایکل جکسون بود مشخص است که چقدر لاغر شده اند باهمه اینها به محض شنیدن موزیک و دیدن همکاران و گروه رقص ووو در آن لحظه روحیه گرفتند وآخرین تمرین را انجام دادند که بعد از آن رفتند برای آخرین بار درمقابل مردم نوید انجام کنسرت را دادند من واقعا با دیدن ایشون در شروع خوشحال شدم ولی بعد غمگین و قلبم گرفت هنوز هم نمی‌فهمم مگر میشود مگر داریم که چنین انسانی را برای هیچی از فرزندان‌شان و دوستارانشون بگیرند؟ آن هم در نهایت بی رحمی من به خداوند و کارما اعتقاد دارم مطمئنم یک یک کسانی را که ازاول تا آخرین روز به ایشون به هر نوعی صدمه زدند با بدترین وضع پس می دهند اگر دیگر آقای مایکل جکسون را نداریم ولی.آثار هایی را که از خود بجای گذاشتند و خاطراتی خوب هرچند کوتاه مدت بود برای فرزندانشان دشمنان ایشان باید بدانند که آقای مایکل جکسون همیشه برای فرزندانشان و دوستارانشون هستند وفراموش نشدنی

[@user-tn5gz8ji2f]

Майкл устал. Нет сил уже у него. Поёт и танцует через силу. Бедняга. Он не хотел этих концертов. Он просто устал…

[@Liudmila.bj1du]

Надо было зарабатывать деньги, чтобы отдать долги, чтобы просто жить... Он бы не согласился на 50 концертов, если бы чувствовал, что не сможет их отыграть. Конечно, видно, что худоба нездоровая. А вообще эта репетиция и естественно он и поёт, и танцует вполсилы, но все равно я смотрела на него с восхищением. Уверена, что его подкосили обвинения, суды и прочая шваль типа Опры, Бошара и иже с ними. Конечно, устал. Слава Богу, что рядом были дети и те немногие фанаты, поддерживающие его в последнее время. Его нет на земле, но память о нем останется надолго в сердцах людей.

Why did you curtail the footage with MJ talking with the group before billie jean begun? MJ is clearly incoherent and repeating back every phrase Kenny said.

MJ已經瘦到病態了，或許已沒什麼在吃東西，長期失眠和輿論已把他折磨成這樣，其實當初演唱會應該要延後，先調養身體和放鬆，失眠治好了，體態也好了，再辦演場會，或許就不會有這悲劇了
