Jacko's Final Rehearsal: The Movie

AEG Live, the controversial concert company that some say forced Michael Jackson into a grueling rehearsal regimen leading up to his death, plans to keep making money even after his death. Footage from Jacko's final rehearsal, which made its way to the public on Thursday, could turn into a motion picture, AEG CEO Randy Phillips says. "He [Jackson] was our partner in life and now he's our partner in death ... If we do our jobs right, we could probably raise hundreds of millions of dollars just on stuff we have worldwide and then the estate could eradicate its debt," Phillips told the Associated Press. The AEG chief said that he released the clip of the final rehearsal because he thought Jackson was being portrayed too negatively in the media: "I said let's grab one piece where we can show people where he was headed. He was getting his moves together."

For being almost 51 years old, he looked, sang, and moved great.

It is scary to me that people actually put this crap in front of the real issues that face this society...anyone that is concerned about a pop singer that had a history of child molestation that was so pathetic that he had to fake illness to get out of paying his bills; should be embarressed. Good Luck...

I watched it, too, but didn't think it was stiff and tired...it was a rehearsal. Not 'final' quality, but not disastrous Britney at the MTV awards quality, either.
Still sad, tho.

My impression: the man was running on fumes.

Financial desperation is a brutal task master.

Michael was rehearsing. There was no crowd there, no cheering fans to ignite his passion. Anyone who actually does what he did knows the audience is an essential ingredient to create the magic which was Michael Jackson.

Are MJ fans that naive to pay money for rehearsal shots?

This is a classic example of the stupidity of people.Michael Jackson was just being used by the promotors and the record companys.It is perfectly clear as they are still milking his death for all they can get.People worship him like he was a god.Mabe we should gold plate him an make a golden idol out of him an turn him into a god and worship him in church.Stupidity has no bounds

I watched it also and I am glad they released it. It shows he looked reasonably health and singing and dancing contradictory to the reports that said he could hardly walk or talk. Since it was a rehearsal we'll never know how much better the final product would have been.
