Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGuitarist Orianthi Panagaris states in an interview that she received an invite to audition for a spot on the tour via MySpace. When she showed up to audition, Jackson and other producers asked her to play the solo from the song "Beat It." After playing the piece, Jackson approached Panagaris, took her arm, and asked if she could play the solo walking across the stage at a specific speed. When she responded she could handle the assignment, Jackson hired her on the spot.
- Quotes
Michael Jackson: [to guitarist Orianthi Panagaris, encouraging her to play louder] This is your moment to shine.
- Crazy creditsThere are two scenes after the closing credits. The first was a clip of Michael rehearsing "Human Nature" a couple of weeks before his death. The other was a video of the little girl who appeared in "Earth Song" holding the earth with the words "Heal The World" above her, followed by Michael's signature, and his final message to his fans: "I love you."

Featured review
This movie won't probably be worthwhile to people who were never MJ fans. But if ever you felt touched by his talent and perfection and tenderness, even if you later abandoned your fan status due to his personal weirdness or public witch hunts, I believe you'll find the sweet striking splendor in the man and feel moved in a positive way if you return to your old love of MJ and watch this beautiful rockumentary.
