This Is It

en
00:01:18 Where you from?
00:01:19 I'm from Holland, and this is like...
00:01:22 Ten hours for me.
00:01:25 I came here for this audition.
00:01:27 I told all my boys at home I'm coming
00:01:30 I'm just gonna dance for him.
00:01:34 Thank you, Michael. I'm excited.
00:01:36 You've inspired everything in my life.
00:01:40 You're why I dance.
00:01:42 I remember being a little girl
00:01:45 ...and thinking that was
00:01:48 I go to sleep and just wake up,
00:01:51 I just start playing your music...
00:01:53 ...and start just dancing
00:01:56 I was like, "What I would give
00:02:00 And the fact that I get to do that
00:02:05 I'm from Australia...
00:02:11 And I got word of your audition two
00:02:15 ...and I was on the next flight over.
00:02:19 It begins. This is the beginning.
00:02:23 Like, I can't even imagine
00:02:26 - ... that first show in London.
00:02:29 I don't even know what I wanna do
00:02:33 I wanted to dance,
00:02:35 And that inspiration came from,
00:02:37 And you've inspired me and given me
00:02:45 Life is hard, right?
00:02:47 I've kind of been searching for
00:02:50 ...and give me a kind of a meaning,
00:02:55 And this is it.
00:03:16 So we open the show, as you know,
00:03:20 We're gonna create a spectacular
00:03:24 And we want some sizzles
00:03:27 We have our video that is called
00:03:31 And that's where Light Man...
00:03:32 ...comes out on the gantry,
00:03:35 ...and he'll just be dazzling
00:03:44 And piece by piece by piece by piece...
00:03:46 ...MJ is revealed, until he jumps out...
00:03:49 ...and on Michael's command,
00:05:53 You know I'm gonna
00:05:56 It's funkier.
00:05:58 I'm not feeling that part enough.
00:06:05 As in running next to him.
00:06:07 - It's not there.
00:06:09 It should be. I know, it's all for love.
00:06:11 - It's coming there.

00:15:31 So that we can give you this:
00:15:34 Michael, do you like this, first of all?
00:15:37 Yeah, that's a cool move, a cool move,
00:15:41 So we can just stop it
00:15:43 You can go to infinity.
00:15:45 Yeah. As though

00:15:52 - Ten.
00:15:57 What is that?
00:16:02 One more time. Six, seven, eight...
00:18:41 In what will go down in history...
00:18:45 ...as the greatest demonstration
00:19:43 Hold for applause, hold for applause.
00:19:46 Slow umbrella fade out.
00:19:55 - Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:53 You sound great, MJ.
00:21:00 Bam, something right there.
00:25:21 We're seconds away, Mike.
00:25:23 - Rolling.
00:25:24 And Gilda singing.
00:25:37 Bravo!
00:25:49 What's he doing here?
00:26:04 And cut. That was a good one.
00:26:06 Let's cut.
00:26:08 - Okay, Bruce?
00:26:09 Rehearsed, and Michael was great.
00:26:11 - Ready to shoot?
00:26:12 - Okay, guys, let's shoot this.
00:26:16 - ... rolling.
00:26:28 What do you want me to do?
00:26:46 Guys, that's the cue.
00:26:48 I'm sorry, are we misunderstanding
00:26:51 - No, we're not misunderstanding.
00:26:53 - He's sizzling.
00:26:55 He's waiting for my point,
00:26:57 Michael, I was telling them to start
00:27:02 Oh, no, I wanna turn first,
00:27:07 - Okay.
00:27:09 - ... then we go.
00:27:11 ...how will you see the video change
00:27:16 I gotta feel that.
00:27:18 All right. Now this is all sizzle, sizzle,
00:27:24 The audience is going wild.
00:27:29 ...over the marquee.
00:32:03 Pretty good... Pretty good.
00:32:21 You're gonna put that in?
00:32:25 It's really cool for me
00:32:28 ...because I need the artist
00:32:31 ...and MJ is always hands-on
00:32:34 He knows all of his records.
00:32:37 He knows all of his keys
00:32:40 Just a little drag,
00:32:43 Yeah. It's not the right sound.
00:32:44 Like you're dragging yourself
00:32:46 Imagine this is the right sound.
00:32:55 Don't change so soon, though.
00:32:57 Don't wanna change over so soon yet.
00:33:16 Don't do that one.
00:33:18 - Don't do that one yet?
00:33:20 It should be simpler.
00:33:32 Yeah.
00:33:37 We'll get the sound,
00:33:39 We'll get the sound
00:33:41 We gotta do a sound check
00:33:44 That's what we need to do.
00:33:45 And don't start unless
00:33:47 I know, that's why we doing it.
00:33:49 We need you to do the sound check...
00:33:51 ...because can't nobody hear
00:33:54 Some people might
00:33:56 I want it the way I wrote it. I mean-
00:33:58 Like the audience hears it.
00:34:00 So whatever the record's doing,
00:34:03 That's what it's gonna sound like, but
00:34:07 Then if you wanna hear
00:34:09 ...on something else,
00:34:12 Only you can say that.
00:34:14 A little more booty.
00:34:16 That's funny.
00:34:18 But you knew what I meant though too.
00:34:20 I know exactly what you meant.
00:34:23 One more time from the top.
00:34:45 Try to get the same sound.
00:34:52 Good sound on that. Good sound.
00:35:00 No, no, not yet, Prince.
00:35:01 No. You gotta-
00:35:03 You gotta let it simmer.
00:35:05 It's got a moment
00:35:07 - That's right.
00:35:11 Just bathe in the moonlight. You
00:35:15 All right, Prince?
00:35:19 Or at least a bar.
00:35:22 Yeah. MJ, check it from the top again.
00:35:27 One, two, three, four.
00:37:00 I gotta cue that. I gotta cue that.
00:37:02 - That shouldn't trigger on its own.
00:37:05 That can't trigger on its own.
00:37:07 I gotta cue that.
00:37:10 So you gotta watch me
00:39:19 One more time.
00:39:23 That's why we rehearse.
00:39:25 It's okay, it's okay.
00:39:32 They wanted us to take
00:39:34 It's okay, it's okay, no.
00:39:37 - Yeah, I agree, Michael.
00:39:39 - I think let's add them back.
00:39:42 You don't feel totally nourished by it,
00:39:46 MJ, we'll also have a fan there,
00:39:48 I'm trying to hear you.
00:39:50 There'll be a fan,
00:39:54 Boom, right there.
00:39:56 Okay, watching Michael.
00:41:06 Once again, ladies and gentlemen,
00:41:10 The Jackson 5.
00:41:45 Everybody clap your hands.
00:42:37 You guys, I gotta tell you this.
00:42:39 When I'm trying to hear
00:42:41 ...somebody's fist is
00:42:43 ...it's really very difficult.
00:42:45 I know you mean well, so, but it's...
00:42:47 I'm trying to adjust to the ear,
00:42:51 With the love, with the love. L-O-V-E.
00:42:53 - Michael.
00:42:56 Michael, one more time.
00:42:58 The inner ears are very difficult for me
00:43:02 ...to use just your real own,
00:43:07 Now it feels like somebody's fist,
00:43:11 - Okay.
00:43:15 So I'm adjusting to the situation.
00:43:17 Right. Michael, is there anything
00:43:20 ...in your ears to make it better
00:43:27 If we could just bring it down
00:43:29 Bring it down a little bit, please.
00:43:32 Anything else, Michael?
00:43:35 You wanna hear more voice,
00:43:37 - No.
00:43:39 ...if it hasn't adjusted to your liking,
00:43:42 - For sure.
00:43:44 Would you like to pick it up from...?
00:43:46 - "Stop! The Love You Save. "
00:44:50 God bless you.
00:46:40 Everybody!
00:47:21 I'll say, "Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon...
00:47:26 ...Tito, Randy, I love you.
00:47:31 Joseph and Katherine,
00:47:45 Just trying to conserve my throat,
00:48:28 - And blackout.
00:48:31 So you wanna get rid of the bad
00:48:35 There's a lot going on. The dancers...
00:48:37 ...we do maintenance with them
00:48:40 We do Pilates and stretching and
00:48:44 You know,
00:48:46 I saw you, you were going like this,
00:48:48 That's Russian. This is Russian.
00:48:50 So Baryshnikov does it like this...
00:48:52 ...and you guys are doing like this.
00:48:55 - Good.
00:48:58 But we're straight up
00:49:00 I don't think it's anything
00:49:03 I think that's smoother,
00:49:06 I mean, I have nothing to move.
00:49:09 Dancers, music.
00:50:17 Oh, my gosh.
00:50:23 All right, "I Just Can't Stop
00:50:26 Let me know when you're ready.
00:50:28 A mi amor eres tú
00:50:34 Cuando no estas
00:50:41 A mi amor eres tú
00:50:45 Do it for Ortega.
00:50:48 - Ortega.
00:50:50 For his people.
00:50:54 One, two, three.
00:50:58 More echo in here?
00:56:15 Now, don't make me sing out
00:56:19 I'm warming- I'm trying to warm up
00:56:24 Why do you do this to me?
00:56:28 - No. No, no.
00:56:33 I'm warming up to the moment.
00:56:36 - But you just can't help it, MJ.
00:56:41 - Yeah, but you felt it.
00:56:43 But you can allow yourself
00:56:45 I can't do that.
00:56:47 But you're fine to do it.
00:56:49 That ending was just like
00:56:53 Band, it's just this.
00:56:56 This is what it is.
00:57:06 What day is it?
00:57:09 We're down to the wire. We're
00:57:13 ...for all of our incredible
00:57:17 Today we are filming new segments
00:57:36 - Do I still have on my 3-D glasses?
00:57:39 Oh, good.
00:57:40 I think I look great in these glasses.
00:57:43 Do I look as old as I feel?
00:57:45 Guys, please step away if you're not
00:57:49 Clear the set now for the crew.
00:57:51 - Rolling!
00:57:54 Action.
00:57:59 This guy should be getting out soon.
00:58:02 - You guys, be aware of the camera.
00:58:04 There's gonna be light on him.
00:58:07 Give the information to him.
00:58:09 Gravedigger, right into the camera.
00:58:11 There it is. Right into it, right in there.
00:58:14 - Right there.
00:58:16 Right into the camera.
00:58:19 - Yeah, yeah, yeah!
00:58:22 Keep coming. Yeah, right into the lens.
00:58:26 There you go.
00:58:28 Now, go out. Go out. Good. And cut.
00:58:40 We call these the dead brides
00:58:44 And there'll be a parade of them
00:59:19 Darkness falls across the land
00:59:23 The midnight hour is close at hand
00:59:26 Creatures crawl in search of blood
00:59:30 To terrorize y'all's neighborhood
00:59:33 And whosoever shall be found
00:59:36 Without the soul for getting down
00:59:40 Must stand and face the hounds of hell
00:59:44 And rot inside a corpse's shell
01:02:25 The demons squeal in sheer delight
01:02:28 It's you they spy, so plump, so right
01:02:33 For though the groove is hard to beat
01:02:37 Yet still you stand with frozen feet
01:02:40 You try to run, you try to scream
01:02:44 But no more sun you'll ever see
01:02:47 For evil reaches from the crypt
01:02:50 To crush you in its icy grip
01:04:27 Make sure that there's somebody
01:04:30 ...with a flashlight and everything.
01:04:45 Now, you know,
01:04:50 Absolutely!
01:04:53 Okay, so next is the fire screen.
01:04:55 We're gonna show you
01:05:13 Rock 'n' roll!
01:05:31 Today was all about...
01:05:32 ...testing the chandelier
01:05:36 ...with our aerialists
01:05:39 It's all about
01:05:42 - ... widths, pipe, how things work.
01:05:46 ...is a big responsibility
01:05:48 ...because we have to design things
01:05:55 This is the first time in the history
01:05:58 ...for the past 25 years that
01:06:02 ...in his "Billie Jean" costume.
01:06:04 The cut of the stones,
01:06:06 ...as we're applying, you almost
01:06:10 We're bringing things
01:06:12 ...where they haven't been developed.
01:06:16 I'm working with scientists
01:06:18 ...with people in California,
01:06:21 Always trying to push the boundaries
01:06:27 Now, is this working this evening?
01:06:30 Without running the number,
01:06:34 ...just to give him a little ride so that
01:06:37 From the top of "Beat It. "
01:06:39 - You wanna do it with music already?
01:06:42 Can I just give you a ride first?
01:06:45 - Sure. If you want.
01:06:46 Yeah. Just for safety. Thank you, sir.
01:06:50 - Sure. Sure.
01:06:52 - I trust in you.
01:06:55 Just for safety. Thank you.
01:06:58 Stand by, guys.
01:07:02 You've been there before.
01:07:06 MJ, this is just at mid-height.
01:07:09 It goes much higher than this.
01:07:12 This is the low height.
01:07:14 Why would you say that to me?
01:07:17 See, why did you say that to him?
01:07:20 He's teasing me. That's why.
01:07:22 He know I wants to go higher.
01:07:24 God bless you, Kenny.
01:07:27 Hi.
01:07:28 Yeah, yeah.
01:07:32 It's great.
01:07:33 Michael, please hold on.
01:07:35 - Thank you.
01:07:38 - Yeah? Is it smooth?
01:07:40 Great. This is monumental,
01:07:45 - Yeah.
01:07:47 - We love you, Michael.
01:12:45 Okay, that's where you want it?
01:12:48 What we're doing is...
01:12:49 We're doing it for the height.
01:12:52 I'm gonna take off the jacket...
01:12:54 ...and kick it, and beat it, and beat it
01:12:58 The jacket's gonna be too hot.
01:13:00 I just wanted to know
01:13:02 That's the one, I was pointing to it.
01:13:07 I was pointing that to you.
01:13:11 I got you.
01:13:14 We can. Do it again.
01:13:16 Here it is right here,
01:13:18 Come on the one before it.
01:13:20 Let's go on to C. One before.
01:14:09 And let it burn, and the lights out!
01:14:12 Lights out.
01:14:14 Lights out! Let it burn!
01:14:16 We're on a 10-minute break.
01:14:20 I'm just so happy.
01:14:22 When MJ comes in the room
01:14:26 ...his presence is just amazing. It's
01:14:35 Thank you.
01:14:37 Michael is the epitome of one of
01:14:42 Performing with Michael
01:14:46 I've been a Michael Jackson fan
01:14:50 It's like a lifelong dream for me
01:14:53 I've worked with
01:14:56 ...but I consider this,
01:14:59 Michael's a perfectionist.
01:15:01 You don't find that in pop musicians.
01:15:04 You have to come in
01:15:06 Then, hopefully,
01:15:08 ...to embellish it
01:15:11 He's just an icon of performance.
01:15:14 His talent runs so deep in creativity.
01:15:18 ...than anybody else
01:15:21 Right here, right here, right here.
01:15:23 Okay, no second verse.
01:15:27 That was a mistake, there is no second
01:15:31 First verse, then right to the bridge,
01:15:34 - Let's do it one more time.
01:15:36 - Wanna go down then come back up?
01:15:39 - This is why we have rehearsal.
01:16:37 So we'll run this way.
01:18:31 When they stop, you have to just keep-
01:18:37 It's time for you to shine.
01:18:42 And hit a high, long one.
01:18:46 I mean, way up there.
01:18:49 It's your time to shine.
01:18:52 We'll be right there with you.
01:19:05 It's remarkable. It's some genius stuff
01:19:11 He is the king.
01:19:13 And he's a good guy too.
01:19:15 You know. And he knows his music.
01:19:17 What more can you ask for? Because
01:20:41 Look at that. I think it's beautiful.
01:20:45 Show him the second one.
01:20:47 - It'll come rolling out at us, right?
01:20:50 - All golden. Look at this.
01:20:53 I love her. I love the light.
01:20:54 - God, and the lighting's great.
01:21:06 I respect the secrets
01:21:09 That's why it makes me so angry when
01:21:14 That every second, I hear,
01:21:16 ...is torn down in the Amazon.
01:21:18 I mean, that kind of stuff
01:21:21 That's why I write these kind of songs,
01:21:24 It gives some sense of awareness
01:21:28 I love the planet.
01:21:30 I love trees. I have this thing for trees,
01:21:36 I love it.
01:28:06 The value would be greater...
01:28:08 ...you let it rumble...
01:28:10 ...let it stay open,
01:28:17 And when that door opens,
01:28:26 God bless you.
01:28:27 I really feel that nature
01:28:30 ...to compensate for man's
01:28:35 Because the planet is sick.
01:28:38 If we don't fix it now,
01:28:42 This is our last chance
01:28:46 ...where it's like a runaway train...
01:28:48 ...and the time has come.
01:28:50 I love you.
01:28:53 That'll be the ending
01:29:00 People are always saying, "They'll
01:29:03 Don't worry. They'll-"
01:29:08 Or else it'll never be done.
01:29:14 Guys, can I have the lighting crew?
01:29:17 - Travis?
01:29:20 First of all, Michael will be
01:29:22 ...and he's got, like, an attaché case.
01:29:25 And right here, Michael,
01:29:29 So now it comes here. So it's a light
01:29:33 - Absolutely.
01:29:36 - ... he's in that light.
01:29:37 He's in that light.
01:29:39 But I wanna be able to step
01:29:42 So then- So after he does this-
01:29:46 After you go like this
01:29:48 ...a gesture and a pool of light
01:29:51 Now a pool of light comes on
01:29:53 - ... wherever his light is...
01:29:56 ...and the pool of light comes on
01:30:04 And now he'll start.
01:36:25 I know.
01:36:27 At least we get a feel of it.
01:36:30 God bless you.
01:36:42 Church.
01:36:45 The church of rock 'n' roll.
01:36:49 I'm a fan.
01:36:50 God bless you.
01:36:52 Get some water.
01:36:53 Water, water...
01:36:58 I just wanna say as Michael's
01:37:01 ...this has been one of the most
01:37:04 ...of my creative life. I am so proud
01:37:08 ...and I just wanna thank everybody
01:37:12 And I'm gonna just give this
01:37:16 Everybody's doing a great job.
01:37:18 Let's continue
01:37:22 Give me your all, your endurance,
01:37:28 But it's an adventure,
01:37:32 It's nothing to be nervous about.
01:37:34 They just want wonderful experiences,
01:37:37 We wanna take them places
01:37:40 We wanna show them talent
01:37:43 So give your all.
01:37:45 And I love you all. And we're a family.
01:37:48 - That's right.
01:37:50 We're putting love
01:37:52 ...to remind the world
01:37:55 Love is important. To love each other.
01:37:59 And take care of the planet.
01:38:01 We have four years to get it right...
01:38:03 ...or else it's irreversible,
01:38:05 So we have an important message
01:38:10 But I thank you for your cooperation
01:38:17 Blessings! Blessings to all.
01:38:19 Michael Jackson!
01:38:30 Have a beautiful Sunday.
01:38:32 - Be safe. Stay healthy.
01:38:43 On three! On three, "Michael. "
01:38:46 One, two, three!
01:38:47 Michael!
01:38:53 What I'd like to do right now is just run,
01:38:57 - Okay.
01:39:00 MJ Air.
01:39:03 Your favorite part.
01:39:05 Right?
01:39:07 - They'd love that.
01:39:10 No, no, no.
01:39:11 You know you love that part.
01:39:12 I love when you...
01:39:14 No, no.
01:39:16 That's how the stewardesses do it,
01:39:20 I love it.
01:39:21 In third grade, the first song
01:39:26 So it's kind of cool, like,
01:39:28 ...singing it onstage with Michael,
01:39:31 So it's just an amazing experience
01:39:34 He's such an amazing artist.
01:49:42 - There should be a break there.
01:49:45 - Have it right there, okay?
01:49:48 Let me bathe in my own time
01:49:51 Yeah, you got it.
01:49:52 I'm gonna button my shirt
01:49:57 I'm gonna look around a little bit,
01:50:02 Snap my fingers maybe, then bam!
