On Friday, I asked if you were going to see Michael Jackson's "This Is It" during its' limited two-week run. Well, as I suspected, it turns out that the two-week run has been extended and is expected to run through the Thanksgiving Holiday. I went to see it on Friday, and it is definitely worth a viewing. I must say that it wasn't quite as good as I expected it to be, but satisfying nonetheless. The movie gave a real behind-the-scenes look at Michael's upcoming London tour. From the dancers to the musicians to Kenny Ortega, the crew really gave their heart and soul to the concert, and to Michael. It really is something to see. And not unlike what we have come to expect from Michael, the concert was clearly going to be a tutorial on how to "come high or stay at home". Michael was all about excellence, and it is evident that this concert would be unlike anything most people have ever seen. More impressively, the viewer had the rare opportunity to see Michael not just as performer, but as maestro and creator. Michael didn't just play music. Michael WAS music. Plain and simple. His command of all things musical has been seen over and over again, but it was particularly interesting in this setting. And his vocals were incredibly in tact. It was a bit sad to see what was, and what could have been, but if you are a MJ fan, you will likely enjoy Michael Jackson's This Is It.
I am surprised that as much as I talk fashion, that I have not discussed supreme it-girl Lady Gaga. Seriously, with the exception of maybe Rihanna, no one gets more coverage than Gaga for her jaw dropping creations. What do you think of Lady Gaga's style? Is she serving up over-the top fabness, or over-the top fooletry? What say you?
Finally, this is completely irrelevant to anything, but this weekend, I somehow ended up re-watching Cadillac Records. (You know cable TV plays reruns ad nauseum). Anyhoo, can I just say that I love me some Columbus Short? Good lawd! Even as a good-tooth wearing "Little Walter", he was sexy. When he sang "My Babe", and in his real voice, mmmh! Too bad he really is short is real life. In any case, he is fiiine and seriously talented. His new movie, "Armored" is slated to be hit the theatres next month.
All for now. Later...
