1) He walked, strung sentences together, laughed, joked and directed like the sane, talented and warm individual that tabloids have spent the past twenty years drawing a polar opposite picture of.
2) Dancers half his age struggled to keep up with the choreography at times and not through lack of trying, simply couldn’t match the impeccable precision and timing of the man’s moves to the music.
3) His live vocal was incredibly raw and soulful, particularly during the rehearsal of ‘I Just Can’t Stop Loving You’ which left crew speechless or equally hysterical.
4) The extent of his imagination in constantly pushing for bigger and more amazing content (which apparently caused the insomnia and eventually fatal medication used to fight it).
5) Audiences of This Is It were due to experience state of the art CGI, lighting, costume and set developed by designers and engineers the world over, purely for the show that only a man of his stature could dream of or create.
6) The snippets of new versions of videos for Smooth Criminal, They Don’t Care About Us and Earth Song outclassed much of the music video world’s efforts dating back to when the originals aired.
7) Segments of music from the under promoted but wonderful Invincible album were incorporated into sequences and held their own amongst older classics.
8) The enjoyment in his face throughout the classic Jackson Five dance routines and medley.
9) The eloquence of his genuine concern towards climate change.
10) The humble way in which he kept alliterating love and the goal of entertaining and providing audiences with escapism as being the driving force of it all (pretty stunning considering the attacks he endured).
