i remember seeing this on tv and begging my whole family to contribute money so I could go to London and see my idol finally preform. this is truly heartbreaking, even to this day. this is Michael. I know it for sure. if you watch him speaking in 2006 at the world music awards, he spoke the same way as he did here. Michael would not stage an impersonator and let his fans down like that. to think some of the moonwalker community even believes that Michael would do that to his fans is shocking to me. it's just not something Michael would do.
We, too, we gathering all our family across Europe, West Africa, Russia, the UK and the USA and managed to get the tickets on the first day. Afterwards, they we reselling the tickets for sooo much money on eBay, and we were not selling. I learned about his death in Accra, Ghana around 2 am local time, and just cried and cried..This sadness has never got over.
Don't you people understand, we hardly heard his speaking voice in the last 5 years, and here in ths clip he was 50 years old. You can still very easily tell the tone of his voice and the way he articulates. Of course he didn't sound as he did when he was 23 or even 30, and personally I even LIKE this voice so much. He was a mature guy already.
Guys, it's MJ. Do you seriously think Mike would have staged a clone to hold this conference? Michael loved his fans, he wouldn't trick them like that!
+Yim Ho Yan you are absolutely right! Michael was so frightned that no one would show up at the press conference that he drank a bottle of wine and passed out.
I always felt that last night he was on stage and said "This is it", that he knew in his heart, he was saying his last goodbye to us. Michael was tired. The many times he's been crucified to the cross. Can you imagine how that is. I am an ordinary person and don't like the exposure of court, so can you imagine a celebrated person like Michael having news coverage on him daily. Crucifying. Michael was a man, but any man can only take so much. So when you no longer see the beauty you once saw in this world. Why hang around. That's my theory, and darling Michael was gorgeous to the end.❤Michael
I love you michael , thank you for everything you have done for us. All of the children you have saved. The millions of dollars donated. Your impact upon the world will never be matched. May God bless you and il see you when I get to the gates
Michael gave the world 50years of his life, now he has a lifetime to spend where there is real love at, the kind he tried to put in his music. Yes Michael was giving us his love, his heart, and some in this world gave him back hate. Michael was a good one, because I been would have thrown up the middle finger, and moved to Europe.
Aira Sato this is so sad. i remember that the last day of his life told to the "team of this is it" see you tomorrow 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢it is as sad as see you in july 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Can you imagine Michael Jackson being worried about what kind of response he would be getting , all due to those BS allegations..MJ had so much class..I cant think of another person who was subjected to so much ridicule due to greed and envy..One of the worlds greatest humanitarians , as well as musicians..We lost so much ..R.I.P. MJ missed by millions
It is Michael because when you watch the actual this is it movie you can tell whenever he is normally talking it is just like in this video. It's because he hadn't been on stage for nearly a decade so obviously he's changed
mj is the only person where just the press conference turns into a event!! you can see he's really excited and I stay in India I remember it was all over television 📺 in 2009!! but sadly it didn't happened!!
This was so sad, watching this. He seemed happy to be coming back. I wish I could hug him right now, and tell him how much we his fans love him so much also. MICHAEL FOREVER WE WILL LOVE YOU. Thank you for giving so much to all of us.
"I love you, I really do...you have to know that, I love you so much, really...from the bottom of my heart" He left but not before professing his true love again...
I have the This is it London ticket! I will cherish it all my life , for July 22nd my birthday. I love you too Michael ! Someday will be together in paradise.
so weird wonder if he knew it would really be the last time... one thing i love about him is no matter how famous he was he never got too big for his boots he was so gracious and lovely to everyone, other celebs should look up to him!
Lo que hizo Michael Jackson en este planeta es insuperable, en la actualidad no existe ningún cantante de Pop que le llegue a los talones a Michael Jackson, no existe, ni existira!!!
People that talk about his and how this is fake you have to remember he is an older guy he was like fifty and he has been singing his whole life so his voice has taken a toll
HE IS MICHAEL..WHATS WRONG WITH YOU..?THANKS YOU FOR EVERYTHING MJ YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART AN ALL YOUR FANS HEART..WE LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS AND WE KNOW YOU LOVE US TOO...
Why are you guys talking about? Does it mater if he was on something? or if he was wearing a wig? or if he looked weird? The hadn't appear in public for so long, HE HAD TO BE NERVIOUS!! Seriously guys, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You are truly missing the point of this conference and tainting the last LIVE image that we have of him.. How can you say he was a fake when the most important thing he said was I LOVE YOU, I REALLY DO! YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I loveU2
One of his close friends said that he was drinking about 6 bottles of wine a day so he could sleep. He sobered up enough to make this speech. He was struggling with his addictions.RIP MJ.
I keep getting a weird feeling, watching the tour announcement video. The face, the voice, the acting, the waving his fist, it's just not like him at all...
It isn’t him. It just isn’t. do you see his hand at 3:41 you can’t really tell but on other higher-quality videos of the announcement his hand has some black stuff? He’s also wearing sunglasses which could mean that it’s an actor playing him with a different color eyes. always keep thinking
3:51 OMG i died... what a smile..???? i m still waiting for that july to come...???? n now i m thinking tht this wait is endless....!!!! very painfull....!!!! may his soul rest in peace
if someone ever gave me a billion dollar i would make this movie into the concert that he would have done and singers like usher etc would sing the songs and i would've held it on his birthday rip Michael Jackson you would be forever in my heart
Someone said in this comment section that there isn't a TINY bit of timidness here and that is not Michael. Well look how he gets shy at 3:02 min. This is Michael Jackson 100% sure.
Pentti Poutiainen Why do u say that? It's also obvious when he says "I love you. I really do. You have to know that... You can hear in his voice it's total michael jackson. And his facial expressions too.
It is Michael! You know for a bunch of people who call themselves fans, why can't you just leave him alone? You're as bad as the media! If he is alive,( wich I highly doubt) wouldn't you want him to be left alone? Jesus!
Yo, everyone. This is Michael Jackson telling us that he was going to die. He knows he's going to die. He's telling us, but most of us were too blind to see it. "This is the final curtain call." He's laughing and being playful about it because it's the saddest joke - he is in on it, and we are not. "See you in July." That's when his massive, public memorial was. The hardest thing for some of the people who were closest to him to accept is that the only way he knew was because he was the one who ultimately killed himself. He had a death wish. How could he not have? He was in so much agony. He lived with a volcano of rage from the way people damaged him. He took every last piece of that rage out on himself from every elective surgery to every pill to every time he drank himself blind to every needle he injected in his veins to every time he allowed himself to wither away by his refusal to eat. He took the rage out on himself until he finally fucking killed himself. Don't you think he understood that he was playing with his life every single night when he was put under and that there would eventually be a fatal mistake? The man was a stone-cold genius. Make no mistake. One of the greatest truth-tellers of all time. He's using his lower speaking voice here because he's letting us peek behind the curtain. Because he knew, deep down, that he was incapable of fully reconciling with himself, he really made the ultimate sacrifice with his life to bring us truthful messages that are, at their core, about peace and love. Even if no one else truly sees what I see in his art and his life, I'm so happy that I see it. It feels like such a gift. I'll love him forever.
he meant to fake his death! THIS IS THE FINAL CURTAIN CALL, IN OTHER WORDS "LAST SHOW" "LAST TIME YOULL SEE HIM" AND HE SAID "I LOVE YOU GUYS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART" he knew he was gonna die or he faked his death
micheal why you had to left us so soon... everytime we watch yor video/picture images/listen to your breaking news we are sadden....my mom cries play your muzic and called you a late husband...doh she never seen you in person but always luv you...any way please rest in peace ....caribbean fan...you will always be miss all around the whole wide world
I've seen the chubby guy with black hair at 0:44 at the right in several other copncerts of michael, that have been airing on tv. He was a true devoted fan.
Looking at the video again. I don't know. It doesn't look like Michael but in any case he looks angry. Maybe that is why he seemed cocky because he was pissed off and wanted to get this over with. At 4.35 when he turns around to walk off but then seems to change his mind. Turns around looks at someone and his whole demeanor changes. When looks could kill. He shrugs his shoulders As if to say F. You... does this black power fist and walks off.
Am I the only one who thinks the people are chanting "Get Michael" after a while? Around 4 minutes. Listen closely. And why does his hand look dirty? I think it is a fake because when looking at This is it he looks different and that was shot not long after.
Michael's smile his cheekbone will go inside but this one the cheekbone is not that deep and Michael wouldn't behave like that or even walk like that.The clone walks slightly like a gangster where michael walks calmly
Clearly it is him..if you listen to Man in the Mirror the line where he says "they follow the pattern of the wind you see" that's how his voice sounds there Everyone's voice sounds a bit different sometimes
this sucks. i always loved Michael but around January of 2009, i started getting into his music. i was obsessed and ONLY 2 DAYS before he died, i called my friend and told her that he was my new obsession. i told my cousin who lives in london to get tickets for me and she got them! i was so excited to finally see him i cried for the whole day. i was planning my outfits and then the news came and it was the worst day of my life so far. i will never see him, never open a magazine and see his face.
It's him , he was acting very Micheal-ish , went back a little and laugh shyly when the fan screaming ,look happy ( but i think really tired ) , and that was his voice .
I wish Michael could come back to us
Michael Jackson you are the best.......
you will always be alive...
That was Michael Jackson the one and only king of pop. MJ I truly love and miss you.

VeikkoVenemies yes he would ever but never do this because he loved his fans 😢😢😢
we still miss you Michael

Love you so much, Michael. Forever x
Can you imagine Michael Jackson being worried about what kind of response he would be getting , all due to those BS allegations..MJ had so much class..I cant think of another person who was subjected to so much ridicule due to greed and envy..One of the worlds greatest humanitarians , as well as musicians..We lost so much ..R.I.P.

This was so sad, watching this. He seemed happy to be coming back. I wish I could hug him right now, and tell him how much we his fans love him so much also. MICHAEL FOREVER WE WILL LOVE YOU. Thank you for giving so much to all of us.
"I love you, I really do...you have to know that, I love you so much, really...from the bottom of my heart"
He left but not before professing his true love again...
He exscaped....
I always love you, Michael!
C'est carément le meilleur chanteur qui existe au MONDE, que Dieu te bénisse Michael ! MERCI POUR TOUT !
I think he knew it was coming.
But i dont think he knew it was gonna be so soon and abrupt.
...I know none of us did.
I have the This is it London ticket! I will cherish it all my life , for July 22nd my birthday. I love you too Michael ! Someday will be together in paradise.
so weird wonder if he knew it would really be the last time... one thing i love about him is no matter how famous he was he never got too big for his boots he was so gracious and lovely to everyone, other celebs should look up to him!
That is definitely. The inflections in his voice, his smile, and his hands are distinctive. He maybe under the influence of something, but its him.
Our Mike...it doesn't matter what all silly or stupid people say, we know the true and we love you so much.
😪 love you more than anything ❤️👑😢
I love you forever Michael Jackson ^-^
When hes saying itll be his last show, "This is it" he knew his Time was coming 💀😞😞😞
Lo que hizo Michael Jackson en este planeta es insuperable, en la actualidad no existe ningún cantante de Pop que le llegue a los talones a Michael Jackson, no existe, ni existira!!!
I remember when there were surveys online that allowed us to choose which songs we wanted to see him perform. Crazy and so sad it ended this way
People that talk about his and how this is fake you have to remember he is an older guy he was like fifty and he has been singing his whole life so his voice has taken a toll
I was looking forward to this, RIP Michael, thanks for the music
Love you forever Michael
"And when i say 'this is it', this is it because..um" - Because what?!!? I was on the edge of my seat & he never finished the sentence!
HE IS MICHAEL..WHATS WRONG WITH YOU..?THANKS YOU FOR EVERYTHING MJ YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART AN ALL YOUR FANS HEART..WE LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS AND WE KNOW YOU LOVE US TOO...
We must focus on his music. His passing dosen`t chance who he IS. I never met him, but I can be a huge fan. His music is there.
a true fan can understand their idol. this was the real him and i know it
⭐my babe michael is alive ✨magic✨777✨
8 years ago today :'(
¡¡Porras,eras el mejor!!
¡¿Por qué te fuiste?!😭😭😭😭
Te extrañamos mucho. El Rey del Pop, estará siempre con nosotros...
He looked so sad when he couldn't ride in the golf cart.
Sorriso lindo!Não sai da minha memória ...meu anjo!
Why are you guys talking about?
Does it mater if he was on something? or if he was wearing a wig? or if he looked weird? The hadn't appear in public for so long, HE HAD TO BE NERVIOUS!!

How can you say he was a fake when the most important thing he said was I LOVE YOU, I REALLY DO! YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I loveU2
This is michael, he had been drinking shortly before this press conference. Watch the interview with randy phillips
Never
One of his close friends said that he was drinking about 6 bottles of wine a day so he could sleep. He sobered up enough to make this speech. He was struggling with his addictions.RIP MJ.
I keep getting a weird feeling, watching the tour announcement video. The face, the voice, the acting, the waving his fist, it's just not like him at all...

Michael Jackson floored his harshest critics
Someone said in this comment section that there isn't a TINY bit of timidness here and that is not Michael. Well look how he gets shy at 3:02 min. This is Michael Jackson 100% sure.

Love you uncle michael
Its amazing how he still sounds pretty much the same from when he was in his 20s.
he meant to fake his death! THIS IS THE FINAL CURTAIN CALL, IN OTHER WORDS "LAST SHOW" "LAST TIME YOULL SEE HIM" AND HE SAID "I LOVE YOU GUYS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART" he knew he was gonna die or he faked his death
his voice and behavior.. it's so different (in my opinion)
2020 ❤

Mj❤️
@texjoyrn1 - today is 3 years since this March 5 announcement. Hard to believe, already 3 years.
super
The final days and final show of Michael jackson
Michael was drunk here, it is him
Clearly it is him..if you listen to Man in the Mirror the line where he says "they follow the pattern of the wind you see" that's how his voice sounds there
Everyone's voice sounds a bit different sometimes
Lives were gonna change
this sucks. i always loved Michael but around January of 2009, i started getting into his music. i was obsessed and ONLY 2 DAYS before he died, i called my friend and told her that he was my new obsession. i told my cousin who lives in london to get tickets for me and she got them! i was so excited to finally see him i cried for the whole day. i was planning my outfits and then the news came and it was the worst day of my life so far. i will never see him, never open a magazine and see his face.
"Was that weird for you too? He was like that close." Nice save. 😒 He realized who he was talking to. Lol
he did! I´m 100 % sure! He is alive
And i know that laugh is Michaels Laugh
It's him , he was acting very Micheal-ish , went back a little and laugh shyly when the fan screaming ,look happy ( but i think really tired ) , and that was his voice .
what a legand
you are right
From the first time I saw this until this day I still feel that this is NOT Michael.
That's true too :)
