This Is It

Where you from?

I'm from Holland, and this is like...

Ten hours for me.

It's, like, across the world.

I came here for this audition.

I told all my boys at home I'm coming

to funk in front of Michael onstage.

I'm just gonna dance for him. I don't care

if I make it, I don't care about nothing.

Thank you, Michael. I'm excited.

You've inspired everything

in my life. My energy.

You're why I dance.

I can remember being a little girl and

watching "Thriller" on TV with my mom

and thinking that that was

the coolest thing in the world.

I go to sleep and just wake up,

and the first thing I do is not even eat.

I just start playing your music and start

just dancing and moon-walking on a rug.

I was like, "What I would give

to be onstage with you."

And the fact that I get to do

that is... It's amazing, so...

I'm from Australia...

And, um, I got word of your audition

two days before it was about to happen

and I was on the next flight over.

It begins. This is... This is the

beginning. I'm not even onstage yet.

Like, I can't even imagine what's gonna

happen backstage that first show in London.

I'm looking even farther ahead. I don't even know

what I wanna do after this because this is Michael.

I wanted to dance,

you know what I mean?

And that inspiration came from,

you know, you.

And you've inspired me and given me

a reason to want to inspire others.

Uh...

Life is hard, right?

And I've kind of been searching for

something to shake me up a little bit

and give me a kind of a meaning,

to believe in something.

And this is it.

ORTEGA:
So we open the show, as

you know, with all the lights down.

We're gonna create a spectacular

opening with pyrotechnics.

And we want some sizzles

and some cracks and some pops.

We have our video that is called

"Glimpses and Flashes."

And that's where Light Man comes out

on the gantry, floating above the stage,

and he'll just be dazzling

in video information.

And piece by piece

by piece by piece,

MJ is revealed, until he jumps out

and on Michael's command,

we begin.

BEARDEN:
Okay, it should be.

[PEOPLE APPLAUDING]

["BAD" PLAYING]

Good. Great. Good to see all of

you. Thank you for being here.

The idea was get the big fish from all over

the world and put them in the same pond.

["SMOOTH CRIMINAL" PLAYING]

ORTEGA:
The dancers in

a Michael Jackson show

are an extension

of Michael Jackson.

They are an extension of the man.

Everything is bigger

and more intense in his world.

First cut, thank you.

Next group. Ladies, brava.

["DON'T STOP 'TIL YOU

GET ENOUGH" PLAYING]

WALKER:

Lean, gorgeous, hot.

Dancers that can rock it.

But if you don't have that goo,

that ooze coming out of you,

not gonna get the job.

MICHAEL [ON RECORDING]: Don't
