Michael Jackson | Black Or White | This Is It Rehearsals | Center Channel

Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts at London’s O2 Arena. Chronicling the months from April through June 2009, this film was produced with the full support of the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage featuring Michael rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. In raw and candid detail, Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his planned final London shows.

“It’s why we have rehearsal” wise quote there MJ

[@jackoalltrades5510]

No auto-tune, no lip syncing, just a true artist doing his thing.

[@youngbrandonc.ondrums6950]

his voice got lower

[@IndependentConversations]

Yeah but he never sang black or white live before I was stoked that he finally sung it live for this concert and the lower key argument that's just conserving voice power this way going to be around 20 plus songs he needed to lower the key or else he have vocal strain on night 1

This is it world tour would be the best Michael Jackson's tour ever

[@mirkoamicizia4258]

I don't think so, honestly michael wasn't well enough to perform. A member of his crew said that whenever he would come off stage he would drop to his knees trying to catch his breath. He wasn't eating well, he wasn't getting enough sleep. The only reason why he was so eager to tour again was so that he could make enough money to finally retire and lead a quiet life. That was his wish, unfortunately it never came true, because his life unfortunately came to an end on June 25th 2009.

[@alexiscenturion3374]

Pero su entrenador había dicho que Michael se veía muy bien(energético y saludable) sí, obviamente no sería el mismo Michael que los 90 y 80,porque Michael tenía severos problemas de cadera,no se podía esforzar mucho en el sentido de la cadera,estaba tomando puros medicamentos,sus últimos meses de vida las vivió a puros medicamentos

no it's not, there is auto tune and play back. he probably sung it live, it was overdubbed

En algunas partes sí es Playback,pero en voz rasposa también se nota en algunas partes que no hay Playback,aunque el tenía que cuidarse mucho en los ensayos,tenia que cuidar mucho su cadera,sus piernas,y su voz, además tenía que cuidarse tanto porque Michael siempre se deja llevar en sus conciertos,no en los ensayos,el en los conciertos hubiera estado super feliz por ver a tanta gente,a tantos fans apoyándolo todavía

O último "Shamone" dele 🥺..incrível esse último Black ir white

[@theod718]

Gotta be honest, if he didn't die from what happened in his house, this tour would kill him either way. He was already in constant pain even on rehearsals and is just covering up with painkillers everyday . Rest easy Mike!

[@diamondstarr739]

And remember they wanted him to do 50 shows !!! Like omg he couldn't do that. He absolutely was not in condition physically and mentally to do all of that. "They" was trying to kill him either way. He's finally getting the rest he been deserving RIP 💔🕊️

[@dougdoug9223]

In addition to not eating and sleeping properly. Either way, he was clocking out in 2009 unless the tour was somehow postponed

[@MOOMOO2728]

No wouldnt had died, he would had made it. He had the addiction for years. He needed a true friend to look out for him. He worked him self to death, on top of a Well known addiction prescribed to him from money hungry doctors

[@nataliamisixroni5447]

No. Michael was murdered for his catalogue and was framed as an addict.

[@featheryfemme]

I think it would've been a detriment to his health, yeah, but I don't think he'd have died. He had been living that lifestyle for decades by this point, and while it took a toll, he was used to it enough that I think he could've managed. But that's not to say I think it'd be worth it at all. If he was gonna tour, it should've been the original set of shows and that's it. Or give him some time to build up his physical strength again before he did those plus the added ones.
