In The Twitterhood: Gospel Artists’ Reactions To MJ Movie
by EJ on Oct.28, 2009 at 12:06 pm, under Industry
Since Michael Jackson passed, news of This Is It, the documentary detailing his preparation for his comeback tour, has swept the world and became one of the most highly anticipated theater releases of the year.
I thought it might be cool to compile the Twitter reactions from some of our favorite gospel artists who were among the multitudes to see the first showing of the film’s limited two-week run…
Kirk Franklin, who apparently had to catch an early flight this morning, said that he was dragging his wife, Tammy, to the viewing with him. After it was over, three simple sentences– “Just saw the M.J. movie. Incredible. Go See It.”
It seems that J Moss had quite a crew with him, including Karen Clark-Sheard, Kierra Sheard, Paul “PDA” Allen and more. After leaving the movie, he sent a tweet that he “just left Movie Heaven… WOW.”
PDA, himself, said that the movie was great, a “must see fo’real… go ppl go!”
Deitrick Haddon tweeted that he had to be one of the first to see the movie. Afterwards, he reminisced that Michael Jackson had a gift that was “out of this world.” He urged that ”everybody must see this movie… I’m inspired all over again!!”
Songbird Onitsha said that she “loved the Michael film,” and said that we need to check it out.
Donald Lawrence mentioned that he was planning to hit the theatre last night as well, but he hasn’t returned to Twitter with his reaction yet.
My wife and I are going next week cuz we don’t do crowds well. Who already saw it? Who’s got tickets to see it? Who’s passing on it, and why?

Going to see it tonight. Love MJ in life and death. Can’t imagine that the movie would be anything less than extraordinary, as he was an extraordinary individual. Give you my informed opinion on it when I get back!

Saw it last night….One word…AMAZING!!! I think we know MJ is gifted but the creative mind of MJ and his heart really show in this movie. The concepts that he had for the tour is truly like nothing I have ever seen before. Once you see the movie you will understand why people were trying to fly to go see this concert. You have to go see it!!!

I’m definitely going. MJ is so inspiring and uplifting. He’s just the King of performances; even after death he is putting on one of the world’s greatest shows. I’m pretty sure this will likely be one of the highest grossing movies EVER!!!

do people not realize mj was a CHANNELER!! he channeled SPIRITS to get his music and his inspiration! he was NOT a christian. stop worshiping him even in death!! give all the glory and praise to JESUS CHRIST!!

soo he inspired and influenced soo many people with DEMONIC ideas?? yeah. i threw away every mj cd i had but i broke em first! WHAT ASSOCIATIO CAN DARKNESS HAVE WITH THE LIGHT!!!! he may have been a nice person, but he was also a DEMONIC person!!! nothing about him should inspire a follower of CHRIST due to the fact that he himself did not serve CHRIST, he submitted himself to the DEVIL and DEMONIC SPIRITS
