A recent article on this website argues that the footage released of the rehearsal for the o2 concerts (Michael's 'last performance') must be “fake” due to the fact that Michael has an older hairstyle, and is performing an older dance routine, thus suggesting the clip could have been filmed several years ago from rehearsals for a previous tour.

I just want to point out that I disagree with this, because the female guitarist, Orianthi Panagaris, has spoken to the media of her grief following Jackson's passing and disappointment that she could not perform with him in concert.

See this article from a legitimate Australian news source (Orianthi is an Aussie, which is what brought my attention to this fact): http://www.news.com.au/heralds…..62,00.html

Orianthi performed at the memorial, and was also interviewed by Larry King, stating that Michael seems healthy and vibrant during the rehearsals and that the death came as an unexpected shock.

This leads me to believe that the AEG footage was genuine in the sense that it most likely was filmed several days prior to Michael's death, as this has been verified by others who were involved in the rehearsal.

This is a difficult one! The images of the rehearsal look like they have been photoshopped in some way. There are much more lights and eye candy in the pictures than in the moving images. Also the images seem a little unreal, the colors are too perfect (the letters 'this is it'), the letter S als also not seen between Michaels legs. So maybe Michael is real there, the background definitly photoshopped.


Someone mentioned that the performance was equal to the one from the HIStory tour. The only thing I see in common are the moment he dances to the guitarist and the carhorn moment at the end. But it is strange that after 12 years, the used songs are used in the same order, as far as we can conclude drom this minute and a half.


What I think is more suspiscious:

-Why the song 'They don't care about us!' Do they want to make a statement and is it all part of the plan!

-Why starts this material in the middle of the song? It's not the best of dancing MJ could do. There are also better songs to demonstrate MJ was still 'the king of pop'

-It's not his best known or most popular song!

-The quality of the clip isn't as good (read far from) as you should expect from HD video. Was this nescesary for covering things up.

One thing i have noticed about the photo that has clearly been photoshoped from Michael's last performance is that his nose has wierd shaped nostrils. It cant be seen on the version of the image in the post very well as its too small but if you find a bigger version (I found it on the sun's website) you can clearly see his nose has been tampered with digitally.

Hi there,


I´am new here and first of all: I don´t think Michael Jackson is still alive. But this page is very interesting especially the parts about the myterious circumstances ´bout his death. All the “facts” are really strange. Started with his last days or hours, and his strange doctor, the late emergency call and finally the cause of death. I guess there is more than just a typical overdose.

I wanna say something to the AEG rehearsal footage. The picture looks really photoshoped…that´s true. But maybe they did it because they wanted a good background for michael. Maybe the stage was to bleak and so they added the “This is it” background. It´s not bad to pimp up pictures. The most important question is: Is Michael Jackson on this picture real or is it a picture of him from a rehearsal months ago. I don´t wanne go so far and say it´s from his history tour. The look of the pictures and of the video have to much saturation and not the typical 90´s look. But who knew…maybe the pic is several months old. Maybe he wasn´t on the stage hours before he died. Maybe he was so sick, depressive or whatever. Maybe he died after a long time of suffer and pain.


By the way. Excuse my english please, I´m from germany

Have fun!

The thing about the photo of jackson with the This Is It behind him being a fake is bullcrap. If any of you took notice properly to some of the videos you would see that the This Is It is projected onto a screen which dropped up and down during one of the rehearsal videos.

I'm surprised no one has questioned that the picture could be from another rehearsal of a different song during the day, just because they've showed us They Don't Really Care About Us being rehearsed, doesn't mean they don't have any more footage.


And the whole hair do thing, what a pile of crap, does no one think that he might've been wearing a wig at the o2 conferance and during his trial? or his hair has been dampened down and gelled to get that old look?


Some of these theories are seriously flawed.

to subliminal:


That's exactly what I mean. AEG claims thay have hours of rehearsals taped on video. Then why is just this part released. I (and i think  most others) would have loved to see Michael dancing and singing Billy Jean, Thriller, The way you make me feel, Bad, Smooth Criminal or another song. Why did they choose this less known and less popular song? This makes me wonder if there is more video footage. I just think MJ can and will be much better in other songs.


I also think the pictures are from another part of the show than the video clip. However, they still look like they've been photoshopped. But also,  a good photographer can create marvelous pictures with the right equipment. As long as the lighting is good.

I really don't know what to make of the whole thing….

The only thing I believe is the picture being photoshopped.

Anyone can see that.

I said before that if you look at the photo more closely, you can see an arm on the right hand side and to the bottom of the arm is a head maybe?

Also if you look at the light fixture at the bottom left hand corner and than at Michael really close, it just doesn't look right.

Fake, as I would call it.  


The guitarist from the video is indeed new.

She's Australian as some say?

She looks different than the other woman from other concerts.

I'd like to know more about her….


I'm still looking into more stuff….

The picture could be photoshopped – I don't know WHY it would be though, I can't really think of a logical explanation.

However, the video footage is definitely recent and is not from the HIStory tour, I think we can all agree on that.

Here's my question about all this reheasal footage.

AEG said that they released this footage so we could all see how energetic, and healthy and happy Michael was to be doing this.

Then why did they ask to be covered for overdose in the insurance?


And if they have over 200 hours worth, why do we only get to see about 3 mnutes worth of it?

That's what I'm saying!  A friend of mine mentioned to me that supposedly AEG was going to put all of his rehearshals on dvd and that is the reason why they recorded most of it in high def and what not. So, that means when they recorded him, they KNEW that it was going to be on DVD – hence the high def, etc. Dunno if that's true or not, though.

Andrea, I can think of some reasons why everything is recorded on DVD.


- Practice and learnings for the dancers. OK High def is not needed for this purpose, but hey… to save money, lets use only one type of camera

- Put as an extra on DVD or BluRay

- Practicing all camera routines for the final show

- The final rehearsing is ofcourse recorded, as this is the last rehearsal where everything comes together.


As cost of storage space is almost down to nothing, why not record it all.


However, I still think the choise of the part they showed us, is not Michael at his best. Even not at his 50th. The goreography is nothing special, almost everybody can do (except for me) what he's doing there. We should have been given footage where Michael is moonwalking, jumping  and other exciting dance moves. 


Is AEG holding better footage foor the DVD release?

Isn't there any better footage?

Are they editing material from the 'real' final rehearsal ans is this just released to keep us happy?

To ejay513:


Maybe they insured only for over dose as they know Michael was healthy and physically could have done the shows.


After he (fake) died, the may have asked the doctor to hide all kind of drugs in his home.

I think that the video was real..But the background was photoshopped on the picture. If i remember correctly isnt there only one picture with the “this is it” in the background. All the others were probably from a different area on the stage BUT there should be at least one visible letter from the baclground in the other pics.

bt dont yer guys believe that the costume of the background dancers and the dancing style of 'em is pretty recent.  the way they are dressed in this video is pretty recent . plus many times to make a picture look more attractive it is photoshopped. havent you guys seen the portfolios for the modelling assignments. obviously they dont just put any picture for such a huge tour it has to look good

 to sell.

I think the footage is fake and is not recent. It was released as “evidence” that MJ was going to do these shows. He was not IMO. The tour was a fake.

The girl guitarist could have worked with him before.

I believe the hair is all wrong.

I think someone somewhere is having a great big laugh about all this.

The motive as always is money. 

This could involve a lot of people not just MJ – he owed a lot of people big money and they wanted it back. He either worked to pay them back (not capable or reliable) or he committed the biggest fraud and hey presto! the money floods in without him having to lift a finger.

The Jackson have struggled all their lives with telling the truth. It is written that MJ didnt know the difference between the truth and a lie.

I agree with Dikki. The media has nothing to show us, only rumours and stories bij so called friends for their 15 minutes of fame.


I'am so hoping MJ will comeback. This way all media will be learned a very hard lesson: Check your sources before publishing anything!


But back on the video footage. Does anyone know when AEG is planning for the DVD of the rehearsal. Haven't heard anything about this for about a week or so. Was this only a decoy? To me it seems they can better hurry with this release, as soon the impact of his (supposed) death starts to fade. If they wan't to earn big money, now is the time.


Of course they can release some new material of the rehearsal every couple of weeks till the DVD is ready, just to hold our attention…

Have another look at the footage of the last rehearsal and another look at the THIS IS IT pic.

From the beginning of the clip until the start of the hymn like music, you can see the HUGE screen in the background (showing Michael's soldiers etc).

After that the screen is dark.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..r_embedded


The pics are NOT photoshopped, it's a SCREEN in the background!


And AEG definitely have more footages. Why should they show us now, what we are desperately wanting to see?

We're all waiting to see Billie Jean as long as we don't know, whether MJ was still able to dance with it.

Maybe he wasn't and didn't dance to it, as we would have liked it. This would probably cut down the gains, wouldn't it?


They'll put it together to a DVD and make a lot of money.

Because they wanted to show that Michael was more than able to take the 50 concerts. By showing this part, in my opinion,  they didn't show what Michael should have been capable of. Although his moves are still smooth, stylish and spot on, it's not the most difficult choreography he has done in this clip. He's waving his hands, moving his feet a little and slow motion walking. It's not bad and I cannot even come close to this, but it's not what I , and I think many others, have wanted to see. Especially if you hear Timor Steffens say Michael was very energetic and danced like he was 25. Please Show us!
