It's been more than three months since his sudden and tragic passing, and now Michael Jackson fans are getting a chance to hear the late King of Pop once more thanks to his new song, 'This Is It.' The tune premiered on MichaelJackson.com with the touching line "This is it, here I stand. I'm the light of the world, I feel grand." 'This Is It' is the the first from the documentary on the troubled superstar with the same title. Listen to It Below!

"This is It" premiered on Jackson's official Web site www.MichaelJackson.com at midnight EDT (0400 GMT Monday). The
mid-tempo number features Jackson's trademark vocal style,background vocals from his brothers and some orchestral backing.

A documentary on Jackson also called "This is It" opens Oct. 28 for a limited two-week run. It shows footage of the singer
rehearsing for his planned London concerts, which never happened because of his sudden death on June 25.

The song appears in the documentary's closing sequences and will be included in the two-disc CD set that accompanies the movie.

Dont you guys dare to spread more horrid rumours about him, he was the most honest, loved, well caring, soft hearted, man to walk this earth, his awesome voice makes my soul on fire and more more love grows between me and him the more I listen to his songs, you guys who hate him are plain jealous wishing you had that talent and stuff. Think about what his children and familly thing when you type/say these horrid words? They knew him best, and they ALL spoke nicely of him. Did you see what his daughter Paris Katherine say about him? 'The best daddy ever' and also 'I love him soo much' the poor soul cried over her father a huge sign that she loved him, no one forced her to, she wanted to do it. You people should think before accusing him, did you see him abuse a child? Did you live inside his body to know what he is thinking? You people who hate him a damn stupid!!!!! I am a huge fan and will support him till they day I die than I will join him in heaven! I am still a little girl hopefully I;ll live longer to support his kids till we are grown ups!!!!

Michael jackson had much to live for and for his children, and family. we all have problems big or small that we can not control. he had a different childhood that not many could probably understand. he told us thru his music. sad that he passed so suddenly. he is the best of talent,like elvis,and many other's. my granddaughter even enjoy's his music and she is two! I was one of the lucky one's to have seen him walking around at disneyland, he was with another famous actor too. it was quiet at the park not too crowded. he was famous at that time, that was in 1978,early 80's, just before the bad album hit i think. i wish that everyone would allow him to rest in peace. his legacy will live on forever.

Christians worship GOD, FANS who ADORE King Michael APPLAUD his MUSICAL greatness .HE WAS AND STILL IS THE KING OF POP, REVIEW HIS ACCOLADES!!! Posthumously, awards and tributes DO NOT CEASE TO POUR IN!!! Do you know the definition of a KING? An ICON? A LEGEND? Fans will ALWAYS celebrate his life!!! And to ROSE, people can keep ,and are of course entitled to their opinion, but opinion and FACT differ. FACTS ARE UNDISPUTABLE!! IT IS A FACT KING MICHAEL IS A MUSICAL KING WHO WAS/IS GREATER THAN GREAT!!! IT IS A FACT, HE HAS THE ACCOLADES, AND WORLD BOOK RECORDS TO PROVE HIS GREATNESS, WHICH IS NOT DEBATABLE, IT IS FACTUAL!!!! HE IS SO GREAT, THAT THE WORD GREAT IS BENEATH HIM, THAT IN FACT THE ENGLISH DEFINITION OF GREATNESS SHOULD BE CHANGED TO MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON!!! LIKE I SAID AND WILL CONTINUE TO SAY, PARTICULARLY FOR THE BASHERS AND HATERS GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!!!!!

Tell It Like It Is:

You're right. Glove Boy was, and I quote your manicky-panicky statement, "DAMN DAMN PROUD OF HIS RACE".

OK. So I guess that's why he married white women and used baby-making "stuff" from white guys.

You're funny.

And, if he was King Michael why did he try so hard to look like Queen Michael? I mean, really. When he went to Halloween parties he wouldn't do anything but show up and everyone would ell him he looked like Diana Ross>

I grew up with micheals jacksons music ,talent. Still listen to it he's death was one of americas lost king of pop he was loved by everyone and will be missed by many young and old .
Now that he has been gone sence june it seems it took awhile for him to be laid rest he went through alot of problems while alive lost alot now he should be able to rest still there are rumors about him just let him rest in peace, let
his family grieve for him without upsetting them with these stupid rumors and let everyone remember him as micheal jackson king of pop dont show the world his autopsy pics its alreay painful for america to deal with his death how do you think
they will react to his autopsy pics.
I refuse to look at them its not a joke.

I saw him in concert,year 1984 in Knoxville.I wish I had of never seen the movie. I should of just kept the vision of him from 1984 in my head. I don't recommend you see the movie, its creepy to me. Thanks for reading........

I always knew Michael would end up on top as he always did. My daughter and went and we loved it,that was so him as I remember him for years. It was bittersweet at times for me but I enjoyed it always. The genius of my time in viewing him for years of all he shared with us and magic. As I never saw went to a concert of his but I have his records and Dvd's always. He was gifted so I followed everything he did good and bad times for years.

Hello! TO ALL OF MY SISTER'S AND BROTHER'S here and around the world.Bro Michael Jackson wouldnt want us "TRUE FANS"talking poorly about one another period ok!.We must learn from his mistakes of being tooo trust worthy etc.The World is full of "EVIL" and it did what it needed to do to kill our big Bro Michael Jackson whom was sent by the Father which art in heaven to show again" The Love of all Mankind" through His music which was and still is a form of another language. Worldly people of greed who has solded their soul to the" EVIL" of this World just to get ahead,but they didnt because there is an after life after death.Please!" STOP THE HATE; NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME;so!LOVE THEM ANYWAY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU".I think bro Michael Jackson would say that if he could so I am saying it for him,but it all started from the corner stone which was and still is our lord Jesus Christ A'men.We whom lives after Him must please! remember as always reminded of that; know matter what good you do ,and its not about the money you have they of evil of the world will seek to kill you as they slander your name slowly.We shall never let this ever happen again to another person on this earth so help of God." Be the Man/Woman in the Mirror"; make that change. I AM still your brother no matter what !!!...
