Michael Jackson: Farewell to the King of Pop is an interesting and sometimes moving video record of collective grief outside the Staples Center in Los Angeles on July 7, 2009, the day of Michael Jackson's memorial service. While 11,000 people, who won access to the event via Internet lottery, enter and exit the Center, Farewell interviews a number of them about their recollections of and feelings toward Jackson. The interviewees represent a multi-generational cross-section of mourners, including folks who traveled in from out-of-state, ordinary denizens of L.A., and several performers and Jackson impersonators. Everyone is asked the same set of questions about the significance of Jackson's music in their lives, where they were when they heard about his death, and what he will mean to them in years to come.

Not surprisingly, everyone is in an especially expansive frame of mind, calling Jackson the greatest entertainer of all time and expressing certainty that his music and positive messages will influence generations to come. With so much Jackson coverage in the media in weeks following his death, it's hard to get the proper perspective on Michael Jackson: Farewell to the King of Pop. But in time it will be a fascinating measure of the true passion of his fans. --Tom Keogh

Fantastic selection of well known tunes...sung to perfection ( as always ) by the king of pop. Get this album and cherish it forever. A+++++++++++++++++++ and then some!

If you liked this DVD you will love the new Tribute book out on Michael Jackson called: "Michael In Foreverland." It is about Michael's World and seeing the World through Michael's eyes. Michael's World was a World of Peace, Beauty, Love and Harmony. This book shows Michael as a True Humanitarian who truly cared about Planet Earth, the Animals and the Children. It mentions Michael's friends: Elizabeth Taylor, Brooke Shields, Madonna, Diana Ross, etc. The World says goodbye to Michael in different languages of the World in this book. You will remember MICHAEL FOREVER in the book: "Michael In Foreverland." There is no other book like this out on the market. It is very unique and is a work of Art as Michael was himself. There is a Tribute Website based on this book at [...] that is all over the Google search engine!! You can order this book through [...] by searching for this title in their online bookstore. You will celebrate Michael's life and music forever through this amazing book. And, at the end of the book is a Poem dedicated to Michael called: FOREVERLAND.

This was a teary farewell with a smile as well. Proud to hear positive things about Michael and his talent and love for the world as well as to how much he IS adored by his fans but it was very repetative. So I really don't encourage this DVD unless you want it for your collection;it shows a lot of fans at the Appolo and at the Staples Center.

I wasn't to fond of this dvd as it was all the fans opinions hanging around the Staples Center saying things about michael. But there really wasn't anything about michael except people talking the whole way through this. It was okay to watch once but I will probably never watch it again.

Anything about Michael Jackson is very good...period. About the latest news on child molestation, Don't they realize he's not with nus anymore? He is so dead and they have to open old wounds, What for?????? my friend told me though that if Michael's estate pays them they don't have to mention it anymore...Look what they are doing to Tiger Woods? They destroyed all possible hopes to save their marriage...For me, its the media who destroyed Tiger...I hope they don't have to do this with Michael...He's dead...
