I didn't see this anywhere yet but if it has been posted I am sorry.
It's from music-news.com. (I'm not sure what kind of site is that?)


Michael Jackson's final performance will be released on DVD.

Footage of the late singer performing better than the 20-year-old dancers and singing his greatest hits during the final rehearsal for his planned London residency will be released as a tribute to the late pop star.

The three-hour clip shows Michael, who died from a suspected cardiac arrest last Thursday (25.06.09), performing his trademark moonwalk moves and astounding onlookers with his agility.

Randy Philips, from AEG Live, who was promoting the 50 This Is It concerts, said: He danced as well or better than the 20-year-old dancers we surrounded him with.

"He was riveting. I thought this was going to be his greatest live show ever produced. He was so great, I got goosebumps."

Ed Alonzo, who was organising the large-scale illusions for Michael's planned 50-date London residency, feels blessed to have been one of few to watch the 50-year-old star's amazing performance.

He said: "It was an amazing show. The thing was just days away from being perfected. It was incredible. Even though it was just a walk-through with the dancers, his moves were dead-on - the same Michael Jackson we saw through the years in music videos.

"He wasn't singing full-out, but he was singing. I feel I was so blessed to see the only performance of this concert."
 
It'll be a good DVD, just you gotta view it as a rehearsal not a proper peformance, Gonna be weird seeing a concert with no crowd and stuff though.
 
I finally have something to look forward to.

Only problem is.. my vision would probably be too clouded with tears to watch it properly
 
Michael didn't have to sing a word. Just seeing him move would be enough for me. This DVD will sell like nothing has sold before.
 
They'll probably touch the vocals up in a studio to make them sound great in the audio mix, dont worry it will be the most fantastic piece of MJ footage we'll ever see!!
 
I want this dvd but I am sure I will never watch it without tears on my face!

I was just watching TIME magazone site

Starting this Christmas, Jackson's family will release a series of posthumous albums, including perhaps some songs written for Jackson's children and some left over from his last album Invincible.

Under a picture of Mj with Kenny and the dancers:
Fans will have a chance to purchase a DVD and album of Jackson's last rehearsals that is presently being compiled. It is expected to be one of his biggest sellers. This photo was taken on May 6.

if they shot this in HD, then i hope they release it in Blu Ray, and add bad 88 as extra
 
He was probably singing like he did on the Dangerous rehearsals. Saving his voice...

They will probably dub the parts he didn't sang well with original music or something like that.

I reckon the edit process of this DVD will take a while to perfect it and make you unaware of that there isn't a large audience in the room that is screaming.

I wounder how they will approach this.

The beautiful thing with DVD is that you can have multi sound, meaning they can add a sound channel with the original sound from the rehearsal and a sound channel with the original music, and a channel with a mix of them both. And you can choose with your remote what type of sound you want.

It will be really interesting how they will approach all this, I kind of hope they will keep the footage as "raw" as possible. In a special occasion like this we need a special occasion DVD, it's empty without him... I don't need large crowd effects and shit added into it.

I will get this DVD, and I will smile (and probably shed a tear), and I will dance in front of the TV like I've never danced before.
THIS is when I will go from mourning to celebrating this mans life.
 
you think the rehearsal would be leaked before its out on DVD?

Oh yes, it will be! One of my favorite things is the Dangerous Rehearsals. He is singing live, sounds amazing, and he jokes around too. It's awesome. don't worry. Plus, it's Michael's final gift to us.

If there smart then they will do everything they can to keep the footage safe from being leaked until its ready to be released on DVD
 
I want them to take their time on this. I really want them to do a perfect job making this. I am willing to wait if that's what it takes. I don't want this rushed.
 
am i the only one who kind of doesnt want to see The last time he perfromed knowning what happened less then a day later i doubt i will rush out and buy this the cd of outakes will be nice though if i can bear to listen to it but that dvd it just makes my soul hurt:(

I agree. It would be far more 'true' and moving it they left it as it was filmed (perhaps as you say, as an alternative option on the DVD). It would spoil it slightly if they manipulated the sound too much and added in loads of effects. I want the most honest version possible.

Fantastic news.

Althought, like everyone else here...i'll be busy crying buckets throughout. :(
 
I hope they will not replace some parts MJ is not singing by vocals recorded in the studio or something like that. They have to keep the rehearsal as it originally took place. Only make some edits in the video-shots maybe... and some mix the sound. But don;t replace audio.
