Don’t watch this if you don’t want your guts ripped open and your eyes full of tears. I wasn’t sure what to expect… and I didn’t want to believe it. Michael Jackson, musical idol since I was a child (he was one year younger than me). But in the end I do believe those boys, and still cannot think of any possible excuse for the parents. And it brought back so much, too much… so many old feelings. Always believe the children. xx

So there I was lying in bed during the wee hours and listening to the radio when an obvious cover version of Come Together came on. At first I thought “who the hell would have the nerve to do this!” and then I thought “hey, this actually sounds pretty good” and then “hey, I recognise that voice!” I had no idea this version existed. I think it’s fabby.
He one spinal cracker…

Wow!
I was prepared to be disappointed because the trailers were so tantalising I couldn’t believe the film would be that high energy and fun all the way through … but it truly was. I won’t gush on quite as much as Dame Elizabeth, but I did think that there were moments of sheer genius. And you could also see that MJ definitely lived on another planet, to put it kindly.
I’ve never considered myself a Michael Jackson fan particularly, though I did love the Jackson 5 when I was a kid and I remember being totally blown away (along with the rest of the world) when MJ made his very dramatic “come back” on the 25 Years Of Motown special, with his amazing performance of Billy Jean. Which was also one of the highlights of This Is It. Others that I especially enjoyed were The Way You Make Me Feel (fabulous West Side Story set), Beat It and Thriller. Astounding choreography. And really, that’s what made the whole film for me. I’ve never seen anyone move quite like Michael Jackson and I already want to see this film again.
