Michael's 'This Is It' Video Is A Touching Spike Lee Joint
Just when I thought I was almost over losing Michael Jackson, here comes the music video for "This Is It." Directed by famed auteur Spike Lee, we're taken on a visual journey through Michael's life starting at 2300 Jackson Street. Spike utilized old photographs of Mike, classic performances clips and videos, and new photos and footage from numerous memorials for the King of Pop to create a visual masterpiece befitting a legend. I was indifferent about this song before because it was far from MJ's best work, but this video has made me love it. Kudos to Spike on a brilliant creation. What a way to honor Michael. OK, I need a tissue now.

It's nice to see pictures of Michael when he was little.
The ending was nice but bittersweet....we'll never see him dance in that spot light again but we know he's happier on the other side.
