I was amazed at how he looks on film, because in the flesh he was a shadow of himself. He was thin, almost anorexic, pale and didn’t seem to have enough energy to walk across the room, let alone dance,” News of the World quoted concert promoter and friend Terry Harvey as saying.“He had a sharp mind, but he was deluded, hampered by the drugs. He didn’t know what he was saying to people. To make his life easy he would just say ‘yes’.“He was walking around in a daze like a zombie,” Harvey added.Harvey also said: “To me that movie is all smoke and mirrors. Michael was struggling with his dance moves and schedule.“Michael was not fit enough - he couldn’t pull off a tour if his life depended it. They took the best bits of the video and made it into this movie.“The rehearsals were long days, and Michael was tired. He hadn’t been on stage for over 10 years and wasn’t used to the physical demands of long days. Some days he didn’t even turn up to rehearsals,” Harvey added.A source close to the production said: “Michael was exhausted. Some days he barely said a word. He slumped down in a chair and would just get talked at. During one rehearsal he nodded off.”Choreographer Travis Payne admitted Jackson, who died in June, used the golf cart to whisk him to and from his car, parked a few yards from the stage.Both Payne and promoter Randy Phillips were worried about the star’s weight and mental welfare.“He used to forget to eat because he was so focused and Kenny Ortega and I used to cut up his food and physically feed him,” Phillips said.One friend said: “The hard work needed was just too much for him, and his mood became very dark by the end. He was a gibbering wreck.“He shouted out, ‘They are pushing me and I can’t take it anymore. They are gonna kill me’.” (ANI)Which is interestingly contradicted by this testimonial by one of the dancers, Kriyss Grant :"On the last rehearsal. "He was his old self. He was interacting with us, giving us suggestions, making changes. In the beginning, he let everyone else run things. Then, he was like, ‘This is my show. We’re going to do it how I want to do it.’ I loved it. That’s something I always wanted to see. I thought he was being taken advantage of in the beginning because he was older. … And you could tell he had something to say, but he wouldn’t say it. But that last day, he took over. He knew what he wanted. The dancers were like, ‘Good, he’s speaking up.’ The dancers had Michael’s back".At the beginning there was a passive, weak, and barely conscient Michael, doing whatever KO would tell, and that on the last rehearsal all changed and he suddenly "was his old self" !It's to wonder if the man at the beginning and the man at the end was the same person !!! LOLfirst part :cry: last part :cry: :?

Sorry, but I don't think Michael only rehearsed the last couple of days. There have been numerous fan reports describing they talked to him entering/leaving rehearsals, listening to him rehearse (there is even youtube video of that), including detailed information of exactly WHICH rehearsals he skipped. It's also obvious from the recordings that they were filmed on different days. In addition, there are weight differences visible, probably the result of a better diet and trying to gain weight over a period of a few months.It's just nonsense.
