Said I wasn’t going to see ‘This Is It’.
Thought it was too soon.
I went.
Said I wasn’t going to cry.
Thought it’d be a happy occasion.
And it was a happy occasion.
But I cried.
I’m grateful that I didn’t follow my initial instincts.
I would have missed the opportunity to witness Michael’s genius one last time.
‘This Is It ’the concert was simply going to be the greatest live show ever done.
Imagine ‘Thriller’ in 3D, Michael running out of movie scenes, fire rumblin’ round’ the stage.
‘This is It’ the movie is the school of Michael Jackson.
It’s where you learn how legends do it.
It’s where the magic begins.
Make no mistake, Michael was put here to do this!
I saw a Michael Jackson that was at the TOP of his game.
I saw a 50 yr. old man move effortlessly with dancers half his age.
I saw humility and l.o.v.e
I saw the kind of confidence that you pray for.
I saw a man that hadn’t toured in 12 yrs.
or recorded a studio album in 8
perform like there was never a break in between.
I watched a nurturing, giving Michael who paid great attention to detail.
I watched an icon that wanted his crew to shine.
No yelling, no ego,
even when he was dissatisfied with something he guided them with care.
I cried because he sung ‘Human Nature’ so beautifully I was speechless.
I cried for the dancers and the crew~ who’d dreamt of that moment.
Who’d spent months learning from the master himself.
And 8 days before they were scheduled to leave it all came crashing down.
I cried for you and I cause this loss is so great.
I cried for Michael Jackson.
I left the theatre feeling elated. inspired.
wanting to do more.
wanting to give more.
wanting to be more.
wanting to be excellent.
