The second time I went to see This Is It I completely choked up when Michael was singing "I'll Be There."
The bit that set me off the most...when Michael sang "You and I must make a pact" he said pact correctly, with the t sound at the end. And I couldn't help but think of little Michael singing "pack" and it made me so sad! Is that weird?! I think it was that he had been this little Michael singing in his own little way, pronouncing things the way his family and those around him did, but now he was Michael the grown man and saying it "correctly." Ahh I can't explain it!! It was a sweet (and heartwrenching, considering what has happened) moment for me.
