do you remember the time
i was on my way to the gym when i got a call from tita telling me she had extra tickets for the 'this is it' premier yesterday. being an mj super fan i obviously doubled back to get a change of clothes so that i could shoot off straight to cineleisure after only an hours session with leo.
of course, me being smart with routes and all ended up getting stuck in a jam and only arrived there 3 minutes into the movie!.(or documentary, whatever u wanna call it). apparently they had an impersonator before the movie and lucky draws (tita won a 'dangerous' cd). damnit.
but thats alright, i was there to watch 'this is it'.
the moment they showed a footage of him rehearsing onstage, the sadness hit me all over again.
i was in glastonbury when i found out mj had passed on. and it was hard being sad by myself as i was surrounded by people who could only make jokes about MJ not being a real person anyways, hence it did not matter if he died.
i did not have anybody to share my sadness with then. (which was why i called you alyaa).
they were dead wrong. the world lost a legend.
i dont think anyone comes close to the genius that was michael.
watching the sets and dances he had coreographed for the tour, no one can deny that michael still had it in him.
the tour wouldve been MINDBLOWING.
the 'movie' wasnt pretentious, it did not try to play with the audiences emotions by making it sad, or highlighting what a big loss it is to the entertainment world.
instead, it told of how hard michael had been working, how awesome the whole creative direction of the tour was.
'this is it' showcased those few songs michael thought his fans would want to hear.
the attention to detail paid on every song is nothing short of AMAZING.
michael had gone BEYOND all of our expectations.
may his legendary music and art live on.
*thanx mom for taking me to the kl show off MJ's last ever tour "the HIStory world tour" and thanx for making me that sequinned glove to wear during the concert
like a comet, blazing across the evening sky. gone too soon
