Michael Jackson’s final rehearsal video

July 3rd, 2009 // 65 Comments

Here’s the last recording of Michael Jackson on June 23 rehearsing for his “This Is It” tour that, depending on who you ask, probably killed him. In the meantime, someone explain to me how the hell that guitar player doesn’t piss herself every time Michael dances up to her. I’m a strapping fellow, and if that were me, I’d not only shit my pants, but then hysterically bludgeon Michael to death with my guitar before he eats my dreams.

He’ll be missed.

    He’s not dead, he just finished his transformation into Latoya. After that, it’s like Highlander, there can be only one.

    I feel bad for all the backup dancers who probably thought they were about to embark on a dream tour of a lifetime. Can you imagine being a dancer in 50 MJ shows on his final tour? Those poor peeps just had it all pulled out from under them.

    That’s probably Jennifer Batten playing guitar; she regularly toured with Jackson.

    Michael, I’ve taken this time to reflect on the memories you’ve not only given me, but also everyone around the world who have enjoyed, danced, sung and heard your music. You are an inspiration not only to the musical industry and to every child in the world.

    My star shall bless you, always and forever.

    For all the haters…Michael Jackson did have some personal issues..As do we all..But he was “NOT” a child molester..All accusations came from desperate people who wanted nothing more then money..yes, his antics we’re a bit questionable..But the people who accused him of those terrible things saw that, and took advantage of the situation..Saying, pay us or we’re going to call you a child molester…Some people are so ignorant..

    Also, OJ Simpson was also “cleared of all charges,” but we all know he did it, too.

    Remember the Jackson cartoon and the Osmonds cartoon? The Osmonds travelled in a 747 and the Jacksons travelled in a broken down “nigger bus”.

    Is it possible that a small boy watching would learn that if only he was white like the Osmonds, he too could be shown as a 747 superstar.

    Ideas and values learnt at an early age are carved in stone.

    @ #11 and 12

    It’s not Jennifer Batten. It’s a girl named Orianthi. She must be pretty damned talented to fill in Jennifer’s giant blond mohawk. I was hoping Jennifer would be back. If MJ isn’t playing with Slash, I expect Jenny there. But this new girl seems awesome too.

    We miss you and love you Michael Jackson!

    #20 Yes and we all know OJ didn’t kill his wife and Mr Goldman, he is as pure as driven snow. The law is the is the law

    Michael one helluva talent but nevertheless a fucked up person – deal with it don’t deny it or excuse. I’m waiting for Jermaine to crawl into coffin with him, that act is getting creepily old.

    Now go back to worshiping at you Anna Nicole Smith temple. (two soft squishy over sized overripe peaches, no wait cantaloupes, now they’re watermelons? Make up your mind perverts)

    Ugh, they should quit showing this, it’s just pathetic. He could still move well, but he’s just going through the motions – the energy that used to make him such a pleasure to watch was gone. If the tour had gone forward, I suspect it would have been an Amy Winehouse style disaster.

    People, OJ was cleared as well, but is there anyone who doubts he fileted Brown & Goldman? MJ bought his way out of one allegation for millions, then was cleared on the other one because the kid’s mother was such a nutcase, but you’d have had to be a nutcase to let your prepubescent boy within a mile of that dude by that point. Always boys boys boys around him, and all of them in the same age range. I hope they have a counselor talk to the elder boy of his VERY CAREFULLY.

    #33: It was a rehearsal. Going through the motions is exactly what he was going through, so he knew what he was doing on stage to give a stellar performance when it came time to do so. It might not be grand finale material – which is sad, considering that it IS the grand finale, but it showed that even in rehearsal, Michael Jackson was still able to kick ass and dance. Fifty years old, and still able to pull some crazy moves, that’s really about par for what I’d expect from the King.

    I know he probably diddled kiddies, and I know that he looked like the damn Cryptkeeper, but Michael Jackson, whether anyone wants to admit it or not, was a part of all our lives. Everyone who grew up in the past 40 years knows his name and has a favorite song by him. Nobody can deny his incredible impact, not just on the music industry, but daily lives. No longer can we enjoy this man’s antics, no longer can we look forward to yet another crazy publicity stunt, and no longer can we hear new music by this legendary singer, songwriter, dancer, and spectacle.

    @ 28 AKA Mike Walker..

    Hilarious coming from the only member of the male species that resides on a gossip website. Sorry I don’t know what a BET forum look like, but I bet no black guys lurk around gossip sites hating on white dudes. Probably too busy having a life and getting laid by women your lame ass can only dream of having.

    Retarded, effeminate, gutless, pale-faced, awkward looking, cowardly, impotent cunt. How about you grow a dick and learn how to be a man, fucking f*ggot ass gringo? If I was a queer ass weakling like you, I’d hate myself too. Take your inbred white ass insecurities and go play in traffic. Thanks for giving me a nice laugh though.. Pathetic hater…. lmao

    To everyone who is bad mouthing Michael- didn’t your parents ever teach you that if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all?
    Michael was a true genius, his music touched and inspired thousands and no one will ever replace him. Sure he may have looked “weird” in the eyes of some people but think how hard it must of been to grow up infront of the entire world. He never got a childhood. He was not charged with child molestation and you can’t tell me that they would’ve found him not guilty if he was up to no good! He was a very humble and kind man and his death is a huge loss to everyone. The only good thing that has come of this that people are starting to remember why they fell inlove with him in the first place and at least now he can finally be at peace instead of being hounded!
    All you people talking shit, including thesuperficial writer, give the guy some respect! he deserves it!
