Video of Michael's Final Rehearsal

AEG Live have released a little unedited snippet of Michael Jackson’s final stage rehearsals.

What I said in my previous post is possibly even more appropriate here.
This brings a tear to my eye but also a massive smile to my face. Because it’s clear from this, and the photos released earlier, that Michael was ready.

He was healthy, energetic, happy, and electric.
See the video here:
[youtube = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgw5-CQeZJM]

Which leads me to underline my belief – a belief which I stated the moment I heard of Michael’s death.

Before I state it, let me make something explicitly clear:
This is my personal blog, where I am entitled to express my own personal opinion, without any ties or endorsement of these opinions from my affiliates or employees.
And I know that this post will be the most controversial opinion I have ever posted on here. But here it is…

Something has happened here.
In my opinion, Michael didn’t just die.

I said this the moment I had digested the news that he had passed – it just doesn’t make sense.
I’m not just saying this now as the news is developing. People close to me know – I said this immediately.
This is all a little bit too strange to me. In my opinion, Michael didn’t just die without cause – something happened.

Now, let me make this explicitly clear – I am not for one minute suggesting that someone intentionally killed Michael. Nor am I suggesting that Michael did something on purpose to himself.
But I do believe something out of the ordinary happened to cause this. A mistake… an oversight in medication… I don’t know… but something has caused this.

The pcitures, and now this video, both prove that Michael was fit and healthy.
And AEG Live president Randy Phillips has said that at 12.30am, Michael was in great form after an electric and energetic rehearsal, and told Mr Phillips “…now I know I can do this”.

14 hours later, he was dead.
It just doesn’t make sense.

I have to stress, I’m not trying to be morbid. Nor am I suggesting some kind of cover-up or conspiracy.
I just firmly believe that Michael didn’t simply die of a sudden cardiac arrest on it’s own.
To repeat – I beliveve something happened… A mistake… an oversight in medication… I don’t know… but something has caused this.

I’m looking forward to hearing the toxicology reports and final autopsy results to see if we can explain this.

[NOTE: These are my own personal opinions only, and are not the opinions of any of my affiliates or employees]

It Was Going To Be Electric…

To see the photographs released a few days ago, taken just 48 hours before Michael suddenly died, makes the whole thing all the more tragic.

These are some of the photos taken by renowned photographer Kevin Mazur at one of the final full stage dress rehearsals for Michael’s “This Is It” comeback concerts. He was rehearsing at The Staples Centre in Los Angeles, and was putting the final touches on what really does look like an incredible show.

To put it simply, Michael looks electric.



The man who took these photographs was hired to document the rehearsals of the show, and he said that he was completely blown away by Michael’s energy and vibrancy on stage, saying that he looked like his old self again – singing, dancing, smiling, laughing, and keeping up with dancers half his age.

Like I said, this makes the whole thing even more tragic to me. A day after these photograph were taken, Michael was dead.



To see Michael like this brings a massive smile to my face, but also a tear to my eye.

I’ll be honest… despite my indescribable excitement for the concert, I  was thinking it would be scattered show, with Michael off stage every now and then, with lots of effects and visuals, and hopefully other performers to give him a bit of a break on stage.
I figured the likes of Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Beyonce… perhaps Estelle, Britney, hell, even Madonna… who all would’ve been passing through London during his residency, would’ve come on stage to break up the show for Michael. I’m not saying that I thought Michael would not have been able to do the shows, but I think it’s fair to say we all thought he might not have the energy he once had, so a ‘broken-up’ show would have been perfectly fine.

However, seeing these pictures – and going on what the photographer said – it looks like Michael was indeed back at his best, performing in the dress rehearsals as if he had rolled back 15 years.



So to repeat, this brings an incredibly huge smile to my face, but also a tear to my eye.

Michael was ready. Ready to blow us away once again.
It’s so sad that he never got to do it.

According to several reports, this was his reported set-list for the concerts:

1. Billie Jean




2. Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’




3. Rock with You




4. The Way You Make Me Feel




5. Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough




6. I Just Can’t Stop Loving You




7. Human Nature




8. Smooth Criminal




9. Girlfriend




10. Man in the Mirror




11. Beat It




12. One Day in Your Life




13. Heal The World




14. You Are Not Alone




15. Remember the Time




16. Thriller

The one consolation (and  a small one at that), is that as well as having a professional photographer at the dress rehearsals, they also had a full professional film crew there.
The rehearsal was recorded in multi-camera, High-Definition video with multi-track surround-sound audio, and AEG Live sources have said that this footage will be released as a DVD and Live Album.

So at least, eventually, we will see the magic that Michael had in store for us.

Once again, Rest In Peace The Greatest of All Time.
