Nothing worst than ignorant one sided reporting!

Mr. Vjestica obviously still can't read, so I'll try to make this so simple that a Michael Jackson fan can understand it.

I made a comment about the film, taken from material published previously. I also made a comment about people who call other people, who don't agree with them, "haters". I also made a comment that Mr. Vjestica obviously didn't bother to read past the first line or so of the review before making his ridiculous comment. I didn't write an "article" about the film.

If Mr. Vjestica, at some point in the future, learns to read, and has an actual point to make, I'll respond to him again.

Paul Margulies should have really watched the film before trying to write an article on it!

Tom Vjestica says, "Obviously this 'reporter' didn't see the part where it said this was REHEARSAL footage!"

The first line of Mr. Walling's second paragraph: "The film is a collection of documentary footage compiled from rehearsals..."

Obviously Mr. Vjestica is a "reader" who can't read past the first two lines of a story.

The true haters are the people who call other people "haters" just for honest commentary.

This film is nothing more than an attempt to cash-in one last time on Jackson's reputation. They could have released a big-screen "Best Of" type of show, but they released a documentary using footage that shows the man not at his best. Mr. Walling pointed this out several times in his review.

Jackson didn't intend this footage to be seen. It was made for him to review and improve the show.

Let the man die already and remember him as you liked him. But stop denigrating others who may or may not have cared for him.

Obviously this 'reporter' didn't see the part where it said this was REHEARSAL footage! .... infact I don't even think he saw the film at all?

First of all Michael doesn't apologise for his vocals at all, he just says that he can't sing out because he was conserving his voice... hence why alot of the time he was either singing some of the song or just concentrating on the dancing... this is normal for any artist in a REHEARSAL!

Also the Jackson 5 medley, he sings the first song before stopping complaing about his earpiece which is too loud, he then sings some of 'Stop The Love You Save' and then sings 'I'll Be There' which was as good as on his previous tours, and at the end of I'll Be There he simply tells the crew he is conserving his voice.. thats why he wasnt singing full out.

I suggest this 'reporter' goes to see This Is It again, this time with his 'negative reporter' hat on...

This Is It is simply rehearsal footage of the greatest entertainer of our generation, its a rare insight into Michael Jacksons creative process, from him going through the motions of his dance moves, to getting the music played just how he wants it, and also his superb voice... which is on show throughout the whole movie!!

This Is It's run has been extended in cinemas, so it will be in cinemas AFTER the 11th of November as this 'reporter' incorrectly wrote.

MJ forever
