Wacky Michael Jackson Fans Claim "That's Not Michael"

Paul McCartney might be having a good laugh over this.

Well after seeing the movie i can clearly say he diddnt look like he was at deaths door at all. Admitedly he does look a little thin, but definitly not unhealthy.

From the this is not it site:

* Michael Jackson’s shocking sudden weight loss as a result of stress and medication, reducing him to a mere 108 (49kg) at the time of his death.

He was actually around 130 lbs when he died,and his weight was proportionate to his height.

* Kenny Ortega, the director of both the tour and the movie, having to help Michael Jackson up the stairs, having to feed him and cut his food.

Kenny himself said this is a lie,he said he had to remind MJ to eat because he was sometimes so busy he would forget to eat,but he never had to feed him.

* Michael Jackson's growing concerns: in May, while rehearsing over 10 hours a day, Michael Jackson confided to a few trusted fans he did not feel ready to do 50 shows, having agreed only to 10 originally, he felt pressured and the tour schedule seemed grueling.

He was more than ready. Of course he was feeling pressure,he had'nt done anything like this for 12 years. 25 shows this year,then 25 next year isnt very grueling.

* Michael Jackson failing to show up at rehearsals because he was not well, and being picked up from his house by his choreographer to force him to go to work.

He diddnt need to be there every day. But those working on the shows said he was there most days. And ive not heard any reports of his coreographer forcing him to work.

* Michael Jackson’s debilitating insomnia and loss of appetite, the crippling pressure he was under, which led him to be over-prescribed and over-medicated by criminal doctors who kept him in an altered, drowsy state throughout the day and in an anesthetic coma at night.

Criminal doctors? Sounds like something conspiracy theorists would say. Dr Murray was a qualified doctor,no matter how much he sucked at his job on the 25th. He wasnt drowsy during the day,the movie proves that.

* Everyone around him witnessing to Michael Jackson looking confused and groggy, forgetting the lyrics of his own songs during rehearsals. Nonetheless, his entourage kept enabling his dangerous prescription-drug use, to keep him relaxed, rested and under 'control'. Those very drugs are named as the cause of death in the coroner’s report.

Yea,because a drug that forces you into a deep sleep kept him "just relaxed" during the day

* You will also not see Michael Jackson’s loyal fans and a couple of his friends attempting to intervene, writing letters pleading for those around him to care for his condition, and ultimately, after being ignored, giving letters of concern to Michael himself. Unfortunately, those who had the power to act did not, instead they chose to keep Michael Jackson isolated and controlled.

Maybe because they were caring. Kenny Ortega seems like a really nice guy who genuinley cared for Michael.Theres a clip in "This is it" where Mikes taking a ride on the new cherry picker,and kenny says to him "Michael please hold on",he really did care for him. None of us knew what was going on inside the nokia theater and staples centres,so to claim nobody cared for him is very unfair.

That site also says something about the footage been edited together from the best clips to look like he was fine and healthy. I think thats very misleading. There are a few songs in the movie where he says things to the band,or doesnt sing the lines he just dances. So imagine if most rehersals were like that,we wouldnt get to see the preformances in the fullest possible way. After he died,and we learned of the footage,fans said that they wanted to see it like it was meant to be staged. And thats exactly what the movie provides,with a few sections inbetween showing how certain bits are done etc...
