This week - some months after Michael Jackson's untimely death on 25th June - we are going to see "This is it", a documentary film about the late King of Pop's preparations for a series of comeback concerts.
Although I haven't seen the film yet, from what I've read, his concerts could have indeed restored his reputation as the world’s greatest entertainer. According to some news, "This Is It" shows
. Michael Jackson in excellent form; voice and moves tops;
. Jackson's charisma is ever-present, and staffers light up when he rehearses;
. the musician's craftsmanship, the value of taking time to get it right.
. It also provides a glimpse of Jackson's humanity.
These are strong reasons for us to go to the cinema, aren't they? Whether you liked him or not, one has to admit he was a great entertainer / performer / musician...
I do not intend to bother you today with too much info on Michael Jackson as I'll be posting again after the film. Right now, let's just see the trailer.

- I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

Hi Alexandra! I can see your students are really motivated. Congratulations:)
Well, I was a big fun of Michael Jackson back in the 80s, must have watched the video Thriller hundreds of times. Nowadays, supernatural issues seem to be quite trendy again. I´m thinking of Stephanie Meyer's huge success "Twilight. So,here's my tribute to Michael and to your blog.
Thriller lyrics
Songwriters: Temperton, Rod;
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl!
But all the while you hear the creature creeping up behind
You're out of time
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see
That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a
Killer, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow!
(I'm gonna thrill ya tonight)
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'alls neighborhood
I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, ooh baby
I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, oh darlin'
Thriller night, baby, ooh!
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
