The release of the 'Michael Jackson: This Is It' soundtrack was an eagerly awaited event for fans across the globe like myself. I’ve grown up listening to Michael's music, and his influence on my life is immeasurable. So, imagine my disappointment upon discovering that the soundtrack does not reflect the music showcased in the movie. It instead consists largely of original versions from his studio albums, leaving fans without the unique versions featured in the film.

For many of us who cherish every note and every rendition of Michael’s work, the decision to exclude these versions feels like a missed opportunity to celebrate the essence of his final performances. It is particularly frustrating as the film gave us a glimpse into a new interpretation of his classic hits, something that many of us hoped would be immortalized on the soundtrack.

The discrepancy between the movie and its accompanying soundtrack is not just a disservice to devoted fans but also to Michael’s legacy that deserves accuracy and authenticity. The film showcased his creativity and innovation in a way that the current soundtrack fails to capture.

Research indicates that movie soundtracks typically reflect the audio content from the films themselves. A soundtrack is meant to encapsulate the magic of a movie and give listeners a chance to relive their favorite on-screen moments audibly. By providing studio album versions, AEG Live LLC missed a chance to provide a cohesive and true representation of Michael's final artistic journey.

We urge AEG Live LLC to consider releasing an updated version of the 'This Is It' soundtrack that contains the versions of the songs actually featured in the movie. Not only would this amendment honor Michael’s legendary talent and vision, but it would also offer fans a true piece of history from one of the most iconic entertainers of our time.

Let us help preserve the integrity of his last performances. Please sign this petition to call for the release of an authentic soundtrack that captures the true essence of 'This Is It.' Your support can make a difference.
