Was Michael Jackson ill during the filming of This Is It?

[MrBuzzialdrin]

lol...people are speculating if he faked his death.. These people need to watch the 2011 trial minute by minute repeatedly.

[1Adr1an6]

I loved the guy, he really should have ate more.

A vegetarian diet is really not as healthy as people claim it to be.

[vanaphil]

@1Adr1an6 A vegan diet is even worse. It may help cure certain diseases but it should not be done long term. I don think eating protein powder is very healthy. I would rather just eat real protein and not powder.

[CRYYA16]

Thank you... PearlJr....Love Crys.

[Pearljr]

I don't think that body was that of Michael Joe Jackson. Anyways the coroner said during preliminary hearing that body "general health was excellent", but where is the burn on the scalp-and why did "they" release the Pepsi MJ head on fire footage during same time as autopsy--to test the gullibility of the public-Watch "Alive" documentary for free on Netflix tonight-free for joining 30 day trial -MichaelJacksonInsider com

[jglenalv]

I think Michael looked very skinny but he didn't look so ill that he was about to die soon. I remember that in the autopsy they said that his lungs were swollen. It could be that he was tired and weak because he couldn't sleep and eat properly when he was anxious.

[ADKIc3mAnX36O]

The jacket he wore on the Thriller part of This Is It is a really light jacket I have the same it weights practically nothing is just a puffed up jacket

[ADKIc3mAnX36O]

@ZeroMarcy in This Is It that is Michael don't you know how he looks his face, checks, ears, eyes, and teeth Michael in this is it is just him

[AnivlA84]

Jackson was always "LEAN"...he lost a pound or two or gained a pound or two.In TII he lost some,nothing new.He didnt look sick that was Michael´s build!

[vanaphil]

Michael looked too thin in THIS IS IT. Other people have said so.

[TheJazandjay]

@vanaphil that wasnt Michael

[vanaphil]

@TheJazandjay  At all? You mean that was not MJ in THIS IS IT? You mean there were doubles the whole time and MJ was never at rehearsal?

[TheJazandjay]

@vanaphil yea?

[Robbsaber02]

I bekieve they used body doubles in some parts of TII. Even Joe Jackson's attorney says Michael was not well enough for the upcoming tour.

[zeromarcy]

pearl we all know it was not michael always IN TII- nothing new.

[MsAngel3208]

Michael has always been thin. He didn't look ill in "This is It" he was raring to go and looked quite healthy to me.. It certainly didn't look like he was about to have an "heart attack"..thats for sure.. BeLIEve...

[Iamonewhobelieves]

ya know, I have to say that I have always been a really skinny person. And in Highschool I was skinner than i am now. People always asked me if I was anorexic. It bothered me. But I felt fine. I was in the best shape I had ever been in my life. We need not always have muscles and look like a body builder to be fine on the inside. We can not judge a person by the way they look on the outside. Yeah my had plastic surgery on his face, but that has nothing to do with his physical health.

[TheMisslinny]

kenny said they had a meeting where in murray claimed micheal was well and fit and shudnt have been sent home with a cold, he would decide if michael was well enough to rehearse and as we all know michael returned to rehearsals. So full bill of health from the doctor,

[arabella147]

he was a dancer ! he was thin and muscled ! Jackson was always thin and muscled !

[LiviaAndMichael4Ever]

He looked thin but not ill. We shouldn't forget that the movie doesn't follow a chronological order, so he was thinner in the scenes from the last days, close to the beginning of the ''tour''. Also, since the beginning of the year of 2009, Michael was working on making an ill image of himself, like being photographed in a wheelchair and going to doctors offices.

P.S.: I've been trying to share something for over a month: the girl from "Hollywood Tonight" is on TII. See dancers auditions.

[nancyxtay]

I cringed when I saw MJ in TII. Compared to his peers Madonna and Prince he wasnt aging well. He was skeletal, gaunt, plastic and it saddened me. Get real people. He did not look incredible.

[OrangeColloredMoon]

@nancyxtay Yes he looked incredible, get real! Did you even see him in wbss, bj, and many other songs.. dancing machine behind the scenes? dude i tell you he looked lika 20 year old.

[Mrkingcjay]

@nancyxtay You're damn right and I'm happy to read that kind of commentary. At least someone lives in the real world here !

[zeromarcy]

@nancyxtay they even forget that he was TOO skinny for an 50 years old man.

one thing is being skinny at 20/30 years old, and another is being THAT skinny at 50 and doing 50 shows.

people should get real!

[pers311]

Michael Jackson is so mysterious, interesting man .Everything is on the air ! .in his announcement of This is it i said to myself that something wasn't right,don't get me wrong, It was Michael in his announcement ,i've seen This is it many times, he was fine !!!

[june15221]

.Michael Jackson in This is it, is just Michael. i mean he is very fit, always  had very good fit because worked his body like an athlete. mr Jackson is a thin man with nice muscles .

[MJbeliever100]

I haven't seen any picture of Michael, where I think he looks emaciated. Michael has always had a small frame, and he has always been lean. The only time that I think he looked sickly was during the unfortunate recent trials, but then again who wouldn't if you were being wrongly accused of such a heinous crime. And I think he looked perfectly healthy during his 'This is it' era. I therefore don't buy that he was ill.

[oct2887]

michael jackson working on a comic book about a rock star who dies but dosen't die who kinda fake his death, once he realize the public thinks he dead he take advantage of it.

[nureldinaut]

@Pearl Jr. ...Mr. Michael Jackson was entombed in a private area of our memorial-park. Out of respect for him and others entombed there, the Great Mausoleum will remain private. We merely conform with the wishes of families who entrust us with the remains of their loved ones. I hope I was able to clarify this issue with you.

Respectfully,Michael Perez Information Office

..also no info on Elizabeth Taylor so another clue less this time ?????

[stefani8396]

Idk if u caught that but the press was always talking bad about mike and its said he had a "drug problem" with the profofol how come we never saw that in their reports? How come they never adressed his "problem" ummmm i think cause he didnt have one idk maybe its just me :)

[oct2887]

i notice when michael jackson was singing Human Nature i don't know if anyone caught it but michael was singing verse4: lookin' out , across morning the city heart beings to beat , see that girl she knows im watching she likes the way i stare. but he sang the same line in the 3verse except the part of lookin out across the mornin, oringinally the verse4 he sangs : lookin' out, across the morning the city heart beings to beat, reaching out i touch her shoulder im dreaming of street.

[oct2887]

they pushed michael to do them shows you guys, and michael was upset that they had changed it to 50 series of This Is It. and i watch the this is it dvd and i saw that kenny ortega told michael to get water, kenny looked mad when he said that to michael. in my humble thought is that these people were controlling the king of pop. it was like do these shows or else we gonna sue you anyways.

[mismelly999]

What I think is that the whole processed in the *TIS* before it began was already a done deal. Not at all a concert but meant to create a movie...best imposters of MJ were being held as actors and somehow pulled these things off.

[iwantMJ1]

im the only one that thinks some certain parts wasnt mj at all...they could have used Navi or e 'casanova .

..i remember when TMZ was selling mj's "This is it "wig lol??..what was that about ???...

...i think mj was more thinner than thriller era in this is it ..

[Mrkingcjay]

Healthy ? Are you kidding ? Mike was thin and weak. Followers worried so much about him that they tried to get in touch with MJ. Watch again Human Nature and especially at the end, have a look at his eyes. His face was thin as a skull. This is sooo obvious Mike wasn't in good shape.

[lynniloppan]

ok everything is supposed to create confusion, doubt, and controversy. Is michael dead or not? Was he sick or not? Did he commit suicide or not? Was he murdered or not? Did he create a hoax or not? ...it's all planned and supposed to be like this...otherwise it wouldn't be so exciting for ppl do investigate it...the hoax wouldn't work without us the fans...

[TheAngiepoos]

I still think it's mad that beLIEvers are still being called crazy....I mean how much proof do we need right???? Keep the videos coming Pearl because I love them ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! With l.o.v.e xxxxxxxxxxx :o)

[MellyMthaGREAT]

Also, remember after his "death" they said a doctor did rigorous tests on him and that he has the health of a 20 yr old! He is 50 with the health of a 20 yr old! I rest my case.

[unbreakableMJ4ever]

Thanks Pearljr!! Michael has a dancers body, lean and HOT, just like in Thriller, he is so beautiful!! beLIEve!!!!!!

[HollyWoodGrammys]

If it's a hoax ;) then that would b part of the plan 2 play the part & play it Well! A Great Performer=Masterpiece not what I think, what I KNOw You Look @ Michael Jackson & that alone clearly tells Anyone the Man's healthy as a horse They always are trying to create doubt being decietful & cunning 2 "Paint a Picture of Lies" but yeah... All is Well! No he wasn't on his death bed. The preciseness n his moves, when he was being more serious, the ability 2 jump & moves his legs & all, come on!

[tedespetaras]

Michael Joe Jackson was not sick, those who are sick are the producers of sony only think about money! MIKE I LOVE U BABY!....................LIZA

[MichaelsLovely1]

Michael has always been thin. He is a dancer! He's not going to be 10000lbs for God's sake! He may not have been eating as much as he should've been but he was not sick and I hate when people say "he looked thin" He was hitting every note and step there was to be hit! I don't know what plate of bullshit they are trying to feed us but I'm NOT THAT HUNGRY! Michael Joe Jackson looked amazing in TII and when he returns he will have the answers that no one else seems to be coming up off of!

[MellyMthaGREAT]

@MichaelsLovely1 Exact same thing I have been saying! He is a freakin' dancer! A performer! And hell, he may have been thin, but he looks damn good for a 50 yr old man. Most ppl would have expected him to be old looking but he STILL got it! He IS the KING of Music !

[MellyMthaGREAT]

It is obvious that he was thin in TII but I do not believe that he was SICK. A lot of ppl are saying that he looked sick but clearly, a sick person cannot do what he was doing in that film!

[saiijackson]

@MellyMthaGREAT  Exactly !!!

[MellyMthaGREAT]

@saiijackson lol I don't get how some ppl believe or can believe when other ppl say he was sick and dying. This is clearly a man that we saw before us that was definitely NOT sick. The way he could STILL move and sing EVERY note. NO way was he sick!

[saiijackson]

@MellyMthaGREAT 100% agree.. 

[charlie12800]

Michael has been quite thin most of his life. Look back when he was with Jackson 5. When he stood sideways there was not meat on his bones. The MJ's in this is it that had sunglasses on were all doubles. They were heavier and had larger facial features. Michael is handsome. The Illusion777 says this whole thing is greater then we know.When Michael is stresses he does not eat or sleep.

[miriam034]

To me always was clear water he was sick in TII or he was acting....he was way too thin or he did it on purpose, he could make it seem what is not for hoax purposes...but he looked ill and too much thin...

[DebinMichigan]

I would not go so far as to say he was ill Pearl...a might thin YES...but ill, I just don't see it. Now when he did the scene of Human Nature I felt he was way too thin..but to say someone was ill and on their death bed just because they are very thin is stretching it in my opinion. Love the video sweetie. God bless

[lilbinarw]

(ctd) more thicker.

[lilbinarw]

In my true opinion pearl, I think Michael was sick during that time because I remember him being a little more thicker than what he was on This is it. On this is it, he does look ill to me and if you go back to the interview you did with pychic jane, she said he had to leave and one of the reasons is he had to take care of his body. So, that's a sign of illness. I don't think Michael looked healthy on this is it at all. He's too thin and looked like a skeleton, but I hope he can get a little....

[Thetrifle]

@Thetrifle can i ask why my comment was removed please?

[parkerleigh53]

It's obvious that the TII rehearsals were always meant to be a movie. Delio lied when he said that Michael could only afford two $3,000 cameras and all of the footage was for MJ's personal library. From the use of Red cameras to Michael's theatrical clothing, the documentary looks nothing the rehearsal footage of the Dangerous Tour.

Thanks for the new information Pearl. All of the happenings since June 25th read like a best selling mystery. Will we ever learn the truth?

[spacecase3196]

hmm... interesting!

[iwantMJ1]

* and why would he say "ALMOSTS" all of michael was there ..

[iwantMJ1]

- just like someone commented here "in some scenes he LOOKED healthy and some scenes he looked frail and sickly" ...and one time he was wearing curly hair and then in one scene he looked healthy with straight hair .

I even heard there was a paper saying they used doubles in the film ...so i dunno *kanye shrug*...

either someone is not spilling the beans or michael just transformed to sickly skinny to healthy weight within days lol...confusion? indeed.

L.O.V.E

[iwantMJ1]

To me MICHAEL didnt look like himself at all during the This is it performance and the o2 arena ....even my own mother(who is the same age has michael) had to question "if that was mj ?" during the o2 confrence.

in certain scenes during the film ....MICHAEL did look strange or not himself ( no offense michael is a VERY SEXY HANDSOME MAN).. BUT in some scene ,like in the casting call ,HE LOOKED LIKE MJ..so i still find that strange.

[TheBakers123]

I have followed Michael with interest all my life & yes at times his weight would fluctuate, but there was always a reason, ie touring, trials etc. When he was troubled you could always tell. I'm sure he started TII with good intentions and performing just 10 shows would of been ok.

Something along the way went very wrong and whether he saw the signs & got out in time? I truly hope so.

As for the movie, well it's hard to tell just how ill he became, because of all the editing & doubles used.

[AdvocatesForMichael]

I think Micheal looked thin and frail but still danced good enough for a man who was 50 y/o that hadn't toured in years. But I feel there was definitely something wrong with his health.

[JackieJax41]

I'm watching the movie right now, and yeah I thought and wondered why the heavy jackets, why this why that, I looked at him and thought wow for a guy who's 50yrs old, he can still move really good, yeah he looked a little tired but, man when that music hit, he was on that mark in that spot........If he did fake his death? I dont' blame him one bit, if he didn't god let him rest in peace pleaseeee...

[TheDizzydiana]

I watch TII often,i'm wondering why he looks bunched up around his waist!!The red shirt fits,then in other shots he's wearing this shirt over somethething else and the waist band of his jeans looks bulky as if he's either wearing two pairs of jeans or they are too big.oh i don't know,poor Michael we're disecting him like an animal in a science lab.

[sexychocolate105]

@sunflowerangeloflove I agree with you and also if you look back on it as he is walking toward the cheographer who hands him a towel . He was actually limping. I rewinded that part over about 4 times.

I feel he was a little under the weather, however he was more skinnier as the film progressed.

[sexychocolate105]

In the begining of the film he looked to have good weight on him, however as you went on further in the film he looked very skinny, but not sickly. 'Also I noticed in the thriller part when he finshed and went to travis payne as put his hand on his forehead as if tired I noticed he had a limp. I believe he was a little under the weather.They should have showed the dates 1 rehearsal june what 2009 you know. How ever I did notice that as the film went on MJ looked more skinnier.

[daggonitmj]

I want to know who this guy is!

[lizzielou73]

I thought he looked great! My father also believes that MJ looks healthy in TII. :)

[vanaphil]

@lizzielou73 I disagree. He was too thin!

[MmadneZ]

He was too thin, skin & bone was all I saw, That was not a healthy man on that stage! I knoq MJ has always been a thin man, but the last months leading up to his"death" he was extremley thin!

If you think healthy people loox like that you need a reality check!

[Jamesthealienfreak]

@MmadneZ He was actually skinnier in the thrillerera look up michael's health on wikipedia it describes the known weights

[LiberianGirl1981]

@Jamesthealienfreak I totally agree with you!! Michael looked VERY skinny in the Thriller Era,look at him during Motown 25th performance for example,he was painfully THIN then!! He's been very skinny most of his life..

[Jamesthealienfreak]

@LiberianGirl1981 The fattest we saw him was probably around 2001 with those performances

[vanaphil]

@LiberianGirl1981 No He was only painfully thin during THIS IS IT!! Even ITC, he looked good and thin. But not painfully thin.

[MmadneZ]

@Jamesthealienfreak I said he was xtremley thin, I did not say it led to his "death". It is not healthy to be that thin just as it is not healthy to be overweight, but that does not mean a person is SICK when they are unerweight and/or overweight.

MJ was not in a healthy weight in TII and if he was thinner in the thrillerera, WOW! But that just shows that being that thin doesn't mean death!

[Jamesthealienfreak]

@MmadneZ I know and in 1984 he was 5 ft 9 and 205 lbs in 2009 he was said to be 5 ft 10 and 122 lbs

[lilbinarw]

@Jamesthealienfreak Michael was not 205 lbs.....did you mean 105 lbs?

[Jamesthealienfreak]

@lilbinarw lol yes sorry just knock 100 off
