THIS IS IT CD....PROBABLY NOT

The world was shocked and saddened by the death of Michael Jackson. Many of his fans were devastated as it happened so quickly and so much controversy surrounded the incident.

The music industry has come out with the "This is it" tour footage, or at least would be tour footage. They taped it from when he was preforming and practicing for it. He was supposed to go on tour right after the date of hid death but unfortunately we never got to see it happen live.

"This Is It" is coming out to theaters around the world and the CD just hit the shelves in millions of stores. I am sure there will be a DVD coming out soon so we can see some documented footage.

The This Is It CD is an entire album, and very fitting the song This Is It is at the end and not the beginning of the song list. On disc one you will find some of Jackson's biggest hits such as Billie Jean, Thriller, Human Nature, Man in the Mirror and Beat It. The songs are done in the same sequence on the album as they are done in the movie as well. At the very end of the first disc you get two versions of the song This Is It, one is an orchestral version and the other is the original version. Disc two is a rare look back at demo versions of select tunes like Beat It, Planet Earth (which is a Poem) and She's out of My Life.

It is weird to think that his life was all over the tabloids and in public, and we thought we knew him so well, but really we didn't know him at all. I would recommend the CD to anyone you know that was a fan (almost everyone). Michael Jackson made music history and no matter how strange he was at times, he made an impact on every music listeners life.
