Not done: Welcome and thanks for wanting to contribute to this article. Please do not remove other editor's posts when cleaning up your own, I replaced the last section so that Intelligentsium's response would not be lost. Also, please sign your posts by typing four tildes at the end. The source you provided can't be used for this purpose because it is not a third party source.

Addition Request

Please add to introduction section that discusses shows in second paragraph:

The deal for the O2 shows was part of a multifaceted agreement ironed out between concert promoter AEG Live and Dr. Tohme Tohme, who was Michael Jackson's manager, business adviser, and spokesperson in 2008 and 2009.

Addition Request

Please add to the SIGNIFICANCE section”

While Jackson has primarily devoted the past years to raising his children, he had decided to return to the stage to show them what he could do and to put an end to various rumors, stated Dr. Tohme Tohme, Jackson’s manager who was staying with Jackson at the Lanesborough Hotel in London.

Line removal

The following bit from the article should be removed as it has nothing to do with the actual topic of the article.

However, on October 20, an Irish choir revealed that they had what could be the star's last studio recording — an off the cuff version of the famine song The Fields of Athenry recorded when he was in Ireland in 2006. The village choir from Caherraggin in Westmeath, Ireland were using the song as a choral warm-up when he joined in and sang six verses. The song is a popular football anthem and features a line "Michael, they have taken you away." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.249.50.55 (talk) 02:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Setlists and dates

1) Since the article indicates possibly more than 20 setlists to be used during the "Tour", I don't think posting any one set list here would make sense. There is no "single" setlist for a tour with a rotating list.

2) Do people think the list of dates is necessary? The tour won't happen now, the dates don't add particular value, as long as the article still says "the shows were to run with 27 shows from July 13 until September 29, 2009, and then resume with 23 shows from January 7 until March 6, 2010." Perhaps with an addition that "Shows would have mostly taken place two days apart, with a few larger gaps between some shows." (33 of the 49 gaps between concerts are 2 day gaps. 5 are three-day, 3 are four-day, 5 are five-day, and there's a seven-day, eleven-day and the three-month gap) if people think the frequency of the shows is important. I really don't think pinpointing the date of the 32nd concert or knowing whether he would have played on August 12 is a significant point of information for readers.

I disagree, the date list in its entirety should remain. Tom Green (talk) 18:18, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Is there any proof that "You Rock My World" would have made the setlist? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.188.177.111 (talk) 04:51, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Illusionists?

It's very well documented that Jackson was working with David Copperfield on magic tricks for the show, but then dropped him when he wanted $1m per show. Jackson then went with Criss Angel and Ed Alonzo. Shouldn't they be listed under crew? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.18.128 (talk) 14:53, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Support act

Is it worth having a line or two about Shaheen Jafargholi, who would have been the warmup singer?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.18.128 (talk) 03:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Status as a "residency"

To EscapeX - please stop with your edit war of adding categories such as 2009 concert tours. PLEASE understand that this page is not about a tour. As has been explained to you several times before, a concert tour is by definition something that moves from city to city, and plays in different arenas. "This Is It" did not do that, therefore it is not a tour, and so we should not add categories saying that it is one. The same thing applies with your insistance on using a table layout with columns for City/Country/Venue. This makes no sense because there is only one location involved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.220.114 (talk) 18:22, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Ticket prices

Not sure if this may is important but should we add the original ticket prices on the page? They were 50 /65 / 75 cheers : http://www.lastfm.de/event/975261+Michael+Jackson+-+This+Is+It! --Rusex (talk) 00:49, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Let's start a campaign to bring the show as he imagined it, to the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.225.101 (talk) 09:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
