  • minastronasse ....shut up bitch...!!!

  • Just a thought... Is it the REAL Mj on that stage? I thought he walked funny in the beginning (watch the full clip) and he was very jumpy/excited, happy, weird voice and so on...

    I dont know... I heard he had alot of impersonaters.

  • WELL I CAN ONLY SAY IF HE IS WITH THE LORD HE IS AT PEACE!IF ANYONE DIES WITH OUT BEING CHOSEN BY GOD,THAT PERSON WILL DIE AND NEVER HAVE LIFE AGAIN.TO BE ABSENT FROM EARTH IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD!THE LORD WILL RETURN ON MAY 21,2011.....

  • @2011iam4god God, is that U? Didn't think so. So, U don't know as much as U

    think U do now do U?

  • this is pretty sad ppl :(

  • it was sad that died

    now we dont get 2 see him no more

    we all miss you michael

    rip mj

  • PRO

  • Wow! He really pulled it off!!!!

  • that does look like mj when he said you got coca cola you got mj is that relly him

  • 0:55 is not Michael. It looks more like his double, Navi.

  • At :55 it even states in writing it is his double and the guy has a British accent. But....the announcement of "This Is It Tour" is Michael. MJ all the way. From my understanding, the body doubles are used as decoy to deter papparazi when these stars are en route in and out of buildings, establishments etc....can you imagine being MJ and not getting to even leave your home to go somewhere privately without someone following you/taking pic's - video's?

  • I know it states that in writing. My response was to someone else's question lol.

  • It is MJ. I grew up watching him. He was almost 51 people - his voice will be lower - he has aged!! His gestures...look at "Beat It" and "Smooth Criminal" -you will see same gestures - back in the "Beat It" days. He always re-invented himself over the years - we hadn't seen MJ since 2001. So to all you who have just now taken an interest in him because he died - well, it's too bad you missed out!

  • Oh I no I'm so sad I didnt grow up knowing him I'm 14 so I was young when he was still a star but I wondered why people were so upset when he died...... I see why now his videos are amazing and he just loved the world and wanted it to love him back I'm so upset now :(

  • It's OK. Just watch MJ and listen to his music and him from time to time. God gave him an important job on the earth, and continuing his legacy by supporting him is important, so it doesn't get lost. What the World expected of him was too much for him to bear and dealt him some bad cards, so Michael pretty much went into "hiding" for a while. I'm glad you are aware of him now so you can enjoy. Just enjoy him and the love he gave through his music.

  • @NightOwlie  I totally agree with you. This is MJ. Why a double?? What's the use.

    He was just an old man in this clip.

  • sense*

  • For those who think that this isn't MJ based on the deep voice, watch his superbowl performance. He speaks to the crowd before his last song, and his voice is very deep there. Lisa Marie Presley, as well as others close to MJ, and those who worked with him, said that he had a deep voice, and that the soft high pitched voice was for image only, just an act.

  • Everyone who says this is NOT Michael Jackson is STUPID. Why wouldn't it be him?One of his best friends said he had really deep voice.

    RIP MIchael We Miss U

  • He is talking in his deep voice.

  • 00:50 Look its michael hes alive of jesus ima go get the milk and cookies!!

  • omg that video response in video responses is the this is it film!

  • we love you michael we wish that you were here we wish that your childern will have a healty and good life and we love you

    WE LUV YUU MICHAEL SWEET HERAT

  • This man is not Michael Jackson.

  • so this was the last time he was ever going to preforme

  • not really

    when was the last time you saw him?

    he changed

    come on man

  • so. stupid.

  • I can't believe so many people are falling for this crap! I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees what's going on. This is some Bullshh ? Here who has ears let them hear and he who has eyes let them see.

  • plenty of gay people

  • this was on my birthday and you posted this video after my birthday!

  • I seen some footage of people saying that thats a double up there announcing the tours, not really michael jackson, and I think they are right. And listen to the voice, sounds nothing like Michael Jackson.

  • Actually it is Michael Jackson I have studied Michael during his interviews & mannerisms for appearances since 2006, First of all his hands do the same gestures & they are the same I love his hands. He has been more confident & is more sure of himself if you listen to 2007 interview He was at a dinner for Jesse Jackson & does stand & act that way. His voice is different than when he was younger if you watch his home videos & interviews it is different This was a new beginning for him

  • a true legend, icon and humanitarian with a true heart

  • michael jackson is a true legend! amazing!

  • Michael isn't a coward. He would have turned up to every last show and give his all, heart and soul. I do think 50 concerts was too much though. Even if he was still in his early thirties, 50 shows is still a lot. let alone a 50 year old Michael. But he would of put on an amazing show. the best show the world would have ever seen. You can guarantee that.

  • Actually, all the tours he did before (Bad, Victory, Dangerous, HIstory) were 60, 70, or 80 plus shows, and included world travelling between the shows. His biggest complaint about touring was the travelling and change in time zones, lack of sleep, and being cooped up in hotel rooms as he was obviously not free to go out at will. This England gig was different - 50 shows, yes, but spread over 6 months, all in one location and thus no travel, and he was going to stay in a rented mansion.

  • Yeah, i do understand that. But he must of thought 50 was too much as he only agreed to do just 10 in the beginning. Thanks for the reply though. (:

  • His manager (Frank DiLeo) and the AEG manager of this show both said that he had signed a contract with a minimum to max number of shows specified in the contract. The promoters start out advertising the minimum number to see how sales go, and also putting the max number for sale from the start is a disincentive for the public to purchase. When the 10 sold in a few hours, they put out another 20, those sold fast; they phoned MJ to inform him that they were putting out the last 20 shows 4 sale-

  • sorry - continuing - so that he knew it was the 50 max he had signed on for. Sales on-line went so fast for those that they had enough reservations to have put on 86 concerts total. However, 50 max was specified in his contract. They said that they as well as MJ had no idea that sales would go so well, which is why they originally put out only 10 dates. However, they said, and MJ knew, that these concertsare hugely expensive to put on so if they can sell the max # of concerts, they do.

  • Thanks for clearing it up. Strange to think Michael had no idea sales would go so well. Like, come on he is michael Jackson the king. Best entertainer that ever lived. =)

  • I agree that it does seem strange that he wouldn't have anticipated the incredible sales. But according to the AEG manager and Frank DiLeo, none of them were sure how well the sales would go because it had been almost 10 years since MJ did a concert. And this is a whole new generation he was trying to appeal to, so they didn't know if there was still interest in his music. Plus they were unsure of how his reputation was after the 2005 trial, and how that might affect sales.

  • That makes sence. (:

  • @DarrellPeel, I can only agree with you. Michael jackson was a tough cookie. There was nothing timid about him. He was a victim . he loved music so much that he did not care much about how he´s being "sold" he just wanted to do what he can do best..to sing ,create, and entertain.

  • He was a money making machine to everyone that surrounded him.His family..his record company his managers..everyone. The guy was so lonely that he pretended so much that maybe..just maybe this people really care for him...and when you start to believe this..you just have no chance at all, but be numb and become naive..as if you don`t see. hear what`s going on around you.

  • @KingAddi Yes I agree. And now even these pigs on youtube are trying to cash in.

    It's unbelievable and disgusting! They are all SICK!!

  • look at the fags cheering at the beginning... wow lmao

  • i bet you were cheering too fag

  • Its some thing really jenkie! about saying this word its the final curtin call, its bad luck to say that,it has all ways been. i wished that he would have chosen a diffrent word to say......other then that..

  • sorry to blow your minds people this is M j he dosent sound so happy,,strange

  • oh Michael why did u had to go =[

    I love u too much!

  • people people stop ffs! do you think this bad talk amongst urselves is what michael would have wanted? ask yourselves please and lets make this world a better place!! God bless us all.

  • That's definitely Michael.  No doubt about it. He just no longer looks like the 25 or 30 year old kid that people wanted him to remain forever. And closetbug is right - waaay back in 1983 Michael wanted to name the Victory Tour "The Final Curtain" only his brothers hated that name and outvoted him.

  • man june 25 was the worst day of my life

    fuck june 25 why did that day have to take michael away from us i miss him so much

  • at 0:12 look at the dude in the bottom right lol.

  • I see you in July

    God youre dead noow ;(((((

    I cant belivee this ;(

  • 0:55 looks like michael??!?!?!?!? or its the true michael ?!?!?!?

    so confused?

  • look-a-like, voice says enough

  • The final curtain call??? That doesn't sound like something Michael would say...

  • Actually, he wanted the last tour with his brother to be called The Curtain Call, or The Final Curtain Call. It's in the book The Magic and The Madness which came out 1991.

  • maybe it's a double....... maybe its the real him........ but hey yeah he looks a little different

  • Whos navi? all im saying is that isnt him. My opinion is an opinion. Mctubes is NOT a spokesperson for the jackson estate, therefore HIS opinion is just an opinion.

    Calling people stupid for their opinion is just "stupid"

  • That is MJ because Navi and Everybody ese;

    DO NOT HAVE A CLEFT IN THEIR CHIN

    ANYTONE WHO THINKS ITS NAVI IS SO STUPID!

    NAVI DOES NOT HAVE A CHIN CLEFT

  • I have studied this public appearance. It is Michael Jackson. I blow up his picture and found that his teeth are identical. Surely a double will not have the same set of teeth !!!

  • People are saying that's a double. And when i first saw this several months ago, i was like, woah, he looks a lil different

  • and the body language, what the hell?!

    he's always been so skinny, thats the REAL michael jackson. idc what you ppl say not trying to be mean but you sound stupid. but whatever we have our own opinions

  • im still trying to figure out why some people don't think thats rlly him. you guys are idiots like forreal. that impersonator does look like him but he doesnt have a dimple in his chin like michael does. and that is michael's voice. he had a deep voice but most of the time he talked in his soft voice.

  • YES BUT WHY DID HE USED A DOUBLE? you mean the one who has died is him or his double?

  • michael died on my birthday!!!

  • damn i still can't beleive he died on my grandmas birthday

  • Ilove him but he is HIGH AS A KITE LOL

  • Michael Jackson would have been fantastic.  THis was for his kids He would have done a great job I was so excited because one thing Michael is the best at- that is performing. He grew up on that & was doing great. I have many pictures of him the last couple of years & he was looking great, trying to eat right, exercising, dancing in front of his kids & staff, being optimistic & excited. He was looking forward to this & it would have been a great comeback He ws exercising eating right practicing

  • that wasnt even him in that press conferrence!!!!!!!!! listen to him thats not his voice or body language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    its a double!!!!

  • yes it is! :s He fell sick towards the end of his life.

  • then why does it look like him it could be the youtube audio

  • if it's not MJ, maybe he authorized the impersonator to do the announcement.

  • I SOOOOO agreee

    that body language is not him

    and his voice..like C`MON thats soooooo not michael

  • Thank you I know voices people and faces .

    The body language does not match, the voice and the hair looks fake

  • gosh.. maybe thats the sign... when he said that's his final curtain call :(

  • Michael Jackson was quitting because of the accusations. Being accused of molesting children really hurt him and he figured that if people where going to accuse him of things he didn't do then he wasn't going to sing any more. Plus he wanted to spend more time with MJ, Paris, and Blanket. Blanket will only remember his dad a little bit. When MJ and Paris are older they'll have to tell their little brother what Michael Jackson was like. They can show him pictures, videos, and play his CDs.

  • sorry u never got 2 do ur tour michael :( but maybe God was saving u from a calamity

  • His concerts would have been great. I wish he could have accomplished that dream. It is quite a coincidence that it was called 'This is It' but also sad in a way. RIP MJ.

  • Unlike the other artists Michael was special in his own way I'm not refering only to his music but also to him as a person as a human being with a child soul I think his biggest mistake was the moment he accepted Bashir's interview a fatal interview that turned his life upside down.Once again he suffered another blow.I wonder how come so many ''friends'' came to his funeral and yet he felt so lonely.Where were they when he needed them the most?

  • too bad he didn't get to finish what he wanted!! its kinda weird though like he REALLY knew this was gonna be it. LOVE & WILL MISS YOU DEARLY YOU WENT THROUGH A LOT OF B.S. I just hope you are finally gonna be able to R. I P

  • You said it right theresaconnors1. Even if Michael Jackson had survived it would have taken him a long time to get better. He would have been put on Life Support and his family would have eventually had to decide whether or not to take him off of Life Support. Mom's a Nurse. That's how I know about Life Support. Have a good week. Enjoy the rest of your Summer. R.I.P. Michael Jackson. I hope God gave you a second chance and let you enter Heaven.

  • to greataunt what the hell was that remark about you hope god gave him a second chance and let him enter heaven you know nothing about michael it seems like you are the one judging him and yes michael is in heaven

  • no he didnt no he was gonna die;;

    you so fukkin stupid;;

    he is fuckin 50 years old who do you know that is 50 and is still on stage dancing and prancing around;;

    i cnt believe he is really gone omg;;

    wat a sad year for the world;;

    he knew how bad he wanted to see his fans and decided to give them one last show;; but im not gona lie for a 50 yr old he sure can move alot but iont think he wud have been movin lyk he was in his 20's nd 30's i mean he the best but mother nature wud have tuk her place

  • he said its the final performece.. did he know, that he will die???

  • no. they were going to be his final shows. he was officially leaving the music scene.

  • zoom, its only a 3 months later after this press conference. If AEG used an impersonator that would have been a daring move.

  • its michael despite what everyone says. if it isnt him why would this same picture from the press conference be up at the memorial? its him. just look at the last rehearsal video when hes with the dancers. same hair, smile n everything. u cant expect him to stay the same after aging people and drug usage....

  • It really doesn't seem like him, the macho swagger, the rock'n'roll air punching, even his voice. If it's him, he was under the influence of meds. Maybe he wasn't feeling well, or up to doing the speech and had an "understudy" do it. Maybe he had an anxiety attack just before...who knows?

  • he WAS under the influence of meds.. he was on demerol, morphine, diazepam, etc... that's why he was 90 minutes late for the announcement, too... i mean, at the end he was just so dependant on drugs to function, he couldnt have ever performed 50 3 hour concerts... there is NO WAY he would ever have been able to pull it off.. but the arrangers pushed and pushed and pushed... motherfuckers... so he needed more fucking drugs to do the job.

    couldnt just have left him alone, to retire happily...

  • No, it's not him at all. I spent hours last night looking at other photos & clips from the same year, & it's not him. He used doubles as decoys, & one website had photos of some of his doubles. I don't believe this guy is him. I saw a video that compared the palm of this guy's hand when he waves to the palm of MJ's hand, and it's different. They use those stick on rubber masks like in the movies. MJ was into disguises.

  • I don't know who was worse... the clown or all the idiots that followed him like stupid sheeple.

  • im very much so a michael jackson fan. but this is clearly him.

  • No, it's not MJ. I've watched these 2009 vids over and over and it's not him. I just watched some clips of MJ shopping in 2008, and it was even more clear that this is not MJ in this video.

  • why would it be someone else???

    What's the reason to use a stand in?

  • I don't know why he would use a standin, but it's known that he did use them often as decoys. Many very famous & wealthy people, like kings & presidents, use stand-ins or doubles as decoys. I went to a website which showed a couple of MJs doubles, & on one you could see the rubber mask where it was on his neck & another one you could see a mole on the palm of his hand, & then I realized that those photos we sometimes see of MJ in magazines that look really terrible aren't even of him.

  • lol thumbs down for stating the truth?

  • its michael. just look at his last rehearsal video. when hes backstage operating the camera, its the same person. not only that but his family wouldnt be stupid enough to put an image of him from the press conference up at the memorial

  • The teeth are not the same he don't smile like that

  • You're right. It's not MJ.

  • I'm watching this again and again and the more I watch, the more I doubt that this is MJ. At his last rehearsal he looked so different. Well, it doesn't really matter now:((( So, sad:(((

  • That is not MJ! Look closer people! That is a stunt double

  • "this is the final curtain call"

    ahhh :/ x x

  • today was meant to be his first show

  • yesterday i dreamed of him and he was happy and iam happy for him ......

  • well odds were right....:(

  • i hope u dont see any kids in the after....

  • Michael was very excited about his final tours. I bet he was in LA rehearsing when this Navi came on stage

  • thats so sad that he didnt make it to July... June 25... ain't life a bitch sometimes...

  • This isn't Michael.

    Michael's double (Navi) has gotten plastic surgery to resemble him.

    Navi once said an a interview (which is on youtube) that MIchael has hired him for several occassioons to be a decoy and for album promtions.

    If you're "really" a MIchael Fan, you would know that's not him. Why would he hire an impersonator? On his rehearsals he definitely did not look sick. He has always been skinny!!!!

  • i am agree it s not him i am sur !!!!!

  • This guy is a fake. It's not Michael Jackson. You can tell by his body language, the chin and jaw. This guy has a very defined square jaw. He fooled the whole world. Michael must have been too ill to announce the shows.

  • that doesnt look like him.. wrong voice and his cheek bones are different. and something about the lips didnt look right either. .. haha

  • plus the chin is too.. dented or whatever. and his body language is different. how could people not realize this dudes fake??

  • u were my idol michael rip

  • OMG....i hate to see all those people who were crying when he said this was going to be his last tour after they found out he died!!

  • Is not him! Doesn't look / sound / act like him at all!

  • R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON!

    now moonwalk yourself too heaven!

    ibet you are sinqin up dea ayee!

    thank you for everythinq that you have done for us! we miss you buh iknow dat you are stil hea through your music!

    mwahs!

  • Take care of your children Michael...From wherever you are

  • it makes me feel bad when he says ill see you in july, but hes gone :(

  • check out the fat geeza in 0:12 funny shit

  • Comment removed

  • damn.................its so fuckin sad that right before he was gonna come back he died........his tour was gonna be legendary

  • estaba echo mierda gaga y no se podia mover... no se como iba a hacer esos shows.....aparte esa peluca le queda asquerosa...

  • 0:13 the guy on right is Jim! My new best friend...not really, I'm pretty sure that's not his name.

    R.I.P Michael.

  • well 0:11 or 0:12

  • MJ will always be the #1 pop star of all time...I just love this song

    I just had to get it as my cell ringtone from mjtones. com

  • 1:21.........ummmmmmmmmm

  • Comment removed

  • R.I.P michael i really miss his music

  • she didn't have to say 'remodeled' that was uncalled for.

  • Those would have been some amazing shows.

  • Non ti dimenticheremo mai.

    Sarai sempre nei nostri cuori.

    W MICHAEL JACKSON.

  • Does any one else think that it is ironic that his tour was calles this is it??

  • very... & i think its ironic he finally let his kids show there face its like he was saying he's not gonna be able to protect them anymore.

  • Too bad he died, although expected, by his weak health.

    He had a horrible personal life and by no means admirable, but you can still admire his songs. I'm not fan or anything like that. Fanatism is stupid.

    PS: Somebody won the bet the reporter was talking about. Sorry.. bad joke.

  • 0:51

    The definition of a complete and utter sad twat.

  • was michael jackson quiting his career??

    R.I.P Mchael Jackson<3

  • I'm really skeptical about this conspiracy theory but here it is: this one website is claiming that Michael used a double to announce this because they claim that his actions were very unfamiliar. And that somehow has to do with his "fake death." :/

  • him having to sell his neverland ranch was really sad. it was like his dream childhood "land". the whole michael thing is just really sad :(

  • it would of been a good comeback and the greatest show ever

  • he was once? HE STILL IS THE KING OF POP! NO OTHER ARTIST IS LIKE HIM! No one will ever duplicate him.

  • 'michael jackson, this is it, king of pop' < fate fucking around

    =[ i feel empathy for his kids

  • why did you all tarp him with this ,he really know he cant make it,and also he no wand 2 fail his show so he gone...why we all treat all good men this way..we r sin full

  • I would have payed alot of money to see him. I really wanted to go to his tour.

  • He sounded like Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory lol.

  • mmmm. yeah he's on a boat with tupac and cobain and elvis and biggie, right? dear lord.

  • Then where is he then?

    What are they doing an autopsy on?

    why is everyone in the world and his family completely devastated?

    ........ exactly.

  • does mjs hairlook like that? i dnt reckon that was him aye

  • Guess what? Them bastards who voted against him showing up were right. I hope their dirty money is cursed.

  • No way that was Michael Jackson. I agree it was an impersonator.

  • ok. start your rumor. its michael jackson and he is the real deal! i was looking forward for this show so much!! it was MJ !! he always look good

  • how would this benefit anyone?  having an imposter?
