Michael Jackson's "This Is It" Hits Computer Speakers Worldwide
Written by: Ashley Lee
If you were late to work because you were surfing the web until this morning’s early hours, don’t worry, and just tell your boss the honest truth - you were awaiting the world premiere of Michael Jackson’s newest single, “This Is It”, which was finally audibly available at midnight.
Only one version of the love song is available online, but a second will be included in a two-disk soundtrack released on October 27th.
The title track will accompany the closing credits of the documentary that will only play in theatres for two weeks, featuring a backstage look into rehearsals of Jackson’s highly anticipated return to the stage, which was to begin in London. Presale movie tickets for the film’s worldwide debut on October 28th (already pushed up by the studios two days early!) are close to sold out, if not already.
"This film is a gift to Michael's fans,” says Kenny Ortega, Jackson's longtime creative partner and director of THIS IS IT concert, as well as Disney’s preteen moneymakers: the Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus "Best of Both Worlds Tour" and all three chapters of the High School Musical series. “As we began assembling the footage for the motion picture we realized we captured something extraordinary, unique and very special. It's a very private, exclusive look into a creative genius's world…THIS IS IT may go down as the greatest concert that no one got a chance to see, but with this film, we get a rare portrait of Michael as he prepares for his final curtain call and what I believe was going to be his master work.”
If your lucky, grab your presale tickets to “This Is It” while you can from MovieTickets.com and Fandango. Until then, tune into MichaelJackson.com to hear the single that’s only been available to the public for a few hours. Speakers dead? The track is being sent to radio stations worldwide as you're reading this blog post.
