Fresh: Sometimes he loses his voice and sometimes he even loses his temper. The film never shows us whether or not Michael Jackson had lost his mind. But it does show us that he never lost his talent.
-Simon Miraudo, Quickflix, October 27, 2010Rotten: A bizarre and opportunist piece of film-making.
-Rebecca Nicholson, Times [UK], November 06, 2009Fresh: The Michael Jackson we see here is not a self-styled Messiah or a tabloid oddity. He is, instead, what he always was underneath it all: a talented musician, a brilliant dancer, and one of the most gifted entertainers of his time.
-A.O. Scott, At the Movies, November 02, 2009Fresh: It's purpose isn't to reinvent Jackson, but to recapture some of the creative magic that made the kid from Indiana a worldwide musical ambassador.
-Mario Tarradell, Dallas Morning News, October 30, 2009

I had to stop midway, to breath, to cry, to grief again the great lost. This man was an ARTIST in all its accomplishments. His voice, his moves, his directions and decisions, my Lord, it was like he wasn't 50. That was not dancing, that was gliding. I can't believe that at my 43's he made me feel more intense than in my teens with "Thriller". HE TOPPED IT ALL-AND IT WASN'T EVEN THE REAL CONCERT, JUST THE REHEARSALS!!!! AMAZING!!! I am thankful for the time he was with us in Earth, and for sharing is great talent!!!! I am grateful to his estate and family for allowing us to enjoy this, as a posthumous tribute.

Michael Jackson at his best

My family loved this video! Michael Jackson was a perfectionist and it is easy to see why he was the greatest! I have a 4yr old and a 19 month old and both were up and dancing to Michael's music. We absolutely loved it.
