[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

stop till you get enough Ow!

["SMOOTH CRIMINAL" PLAYING]

She's the one.

[PEOPLE APPLAUDING]

And the Michael Jackson principal

dancers for This Is It are:

["BAD" PLAYING]

MAN 1:

Guys, those go over here.

Hey, guys?

Those go over here, actually.

MAN 2:

Aww.

Truss moving.

["JAM" PLAYING]

Quite the eventful day

because we got to be toasted.

There's elevator speed

and toaster speed.

Part of this, guys,

is anticipating the stop.

Keep your shoulders square,

keep your center,

and just get, like, right down into

a nice, good squat position like that,

and you're gonna come up and...

You feel that initial...?

Yeah, I do.

Yeah, that's

the adrenaline, baby.

CHORUS:

Jam

Jam

Jam

Nation to nation, all the world

Must come together

Face the problems that we see

Then maybe somehow

We can work it out

I asked my neighbor for a favor

She said, later

What has come of all the people?

Have we lost love

Of what it's about?

I have to find my peace

Cos no one seems to let me be

False prophets cry of doom

What are the possibilities?

I told my brother
