Great Performance!!

"The whole show 4 start from the beginning to end, because i would focus more in his out space shows around the works, I would choose the best concerts , shows , performances, including interviews in all his international worldwide events ...... I would introduce in the Broadway "MJ" show an international Michael Jackson as a shined star that will never get dark.... he left more interesting footage in this world than things like the pills, that accident and the rumors, focus in all his well deserved Grammy....i would love to see the specials moments in his career he was a start because of his voice his dance and all others good things ...."
