THE ESSENCE OF MICHAEL JACKSON

Reminiscing of his final soon to be concert, “This Is It” was made as a film by Michael Bearden. The film is beautifully captured the essence of Michael Jackson in this world, positivity, dedication, generosity, perfectionist, and love, love, love.

When i finally saw the film, i thought that the testimonials from the dancers were too much like it was pushed to be dramatic. But when i saw the legendary King of Pop himself, my eyes seemed to pop and i just sit still and awe in amazement and excitement to see him in action.

As a 50 year old man, he was seen as energetic as he could, and really put his mind and hands on to the concert.

He is a true genius and humbly remarkable. He is a perfectionist and always gives the best thing to his audience, even though it’s still just a rehearsal.

Although i cried like crazy in that black June – when he passed away¬ – i just felt excitement and danced my feet and shoulders away, couldn’t stand not to dance, but of course, i did just a little of that while i remained sit down.

My most favourite songs were also played in that film, Billie Jean, Man in the Mirror, Beat It, Who Is It, Human Nature, Earth Song, and Thriller

His appearances, notes, and messages to his surroundings were very inspiring. He endlessly showed and told to all of them the essence of his works.

Dedication, utmost brilliance, generosity, supportive, and love from his presence were radiating the whole place, and to all the people in the world trough his music.

Michael has translated all of his world concerns in his lyrics impeccably with amazing tunes. The peak of that quality is very rare, especially in present time.

He incorporates songs with lyrics that provoke all of the people to spread the love for mankind, nature and other living things in this world. Yet it still made you dance too.

Not just the King, the rest of the band and dancers were also amazing. He also encouraging his guitarist Orianthi Panagiri in one of his song rehearsals to step up her game with her guitar made it as a “solo moment” in part of his song.

“…this is your time to shine, we’re here for you…” said the legend.

Nevertheless, the most outrageous thing that made us all bow and applause to him was his resistance to the entire exigent condition trough his childhood to adult life.

In the end of his concert he was planned to say, “…and to Joseph and Katherine, god bless you and I love you…”

Featured Projects

In the film, he also expressed his works through 3D film for making thousands of troops for They Don’t Really Care About Us, Earth Song, and green screens for shooting the Smooth Criminal reinvented featured clips, put Michael into black and white movie clips from the 1940’s.

There are also called “flashes and glimpses” that featured pictures of great events and notable figures like Princess Diana and Martin Luther King.

Like in his lyrics, when he commented his songs relentlessly he talked about his world concerns.

“I respect the magic of nature… that’s why I’m so angry when every second a size of a football field torn down in the Amazon…”

“That’s why I wrote these kinds of songs, it set the sense of awareness, awakening and hope to people…I love the planet, I love the trees, the colours…”

Like all his concerts, in each song, there would be projections, fire play in the stage, bulldozer that came out from the background in Earth Song, and zombie stunts for Thriller.

Michael also made 3D reinvention video clips of Thriller that featured in the concert.
