This Is It Music That Inspire

This movie was excellent. It showed you the person for who he was and the dedication he made to make something the fans would be in awe of. He truly cared about people. We've lost a wonderful, brilliant artist.

What can I say.....when it comes to MJ a 5 star rating is all that is required. I am sad that this is it for his music.

"This Is It" the movie of the last Michael Jackson rehearsals was fantastic, I loved it. Two days before it was released in theatres the soundtrack of the film came out on October 26th 2009. I'm a little disappointed with it. It's nice to have the songs in the order they are played in the film but those songs are from the albums, not what you hear in the film. A good thing is that most of these songs are the remastered versions which sound better than the originals but it's not what I expected from the soundtrack of This Is It. I thought the songs as they were performed in the movie were going to be on the soundtrack. Those were great and after all the word says it all SOUNDTRACK it's supposed to be music FROM the film not music from another source. We get all the same stuff again except the bonus tracks.The first disc is the original songs, the hits. You get the unreleased song This Is IT recorded around the time of "Dangerous" in 1991. What's interesting is you get two versions of the song, the normal and orchestral version. This song is beautiful and I listen to it often, I love it and to have two versions of it is great. The second disc has 3 demos of "She's Out Of My Life", "Wanna Be Startin' Sometin'", "Beat It" and a poem "Planet Earth". Those demos are very good and I like them, the poem is really touching and it's more great stuff from Michael. It's nice to hear them but they really should have included more demos and unreleased stuff on it that would have been great, there is simply not enough here and there is much more space available on a disc to include other stuff. The remasters had extras like unreleased songs, demos, interviews; this is the stuff fans want we don't need another compilation there are already enough out there (HIStory had a disc of his hits, Ones and a few others).

The This Is It soundtrack turns out not to be a soundtrack but rather a compilation with added extras. The unreleased stuff is great and the booklet that comes with this CD is very nice, great pictures and all but it's disappointing that we have to buy the same stuff again just to get the 5 songs and a poem we don't have. And the "special edition" on Amazon doesn't even have the poster that was supposed to be included ( I don't know about elsewhere thought). I'll give it three stars simply because it's just another compilation with stuff fans have but the extras and the booklet makes it kind of worth it and most of the songs are the remastered versions
