The Entertainer

Looks like the world has missed one helluva concert. Whatever cynicism one might harbor about this Hail Mary piece of cinema -- which can be called the first concert rehearsal movie ever -- it's a strange yet strangely beguiling film that captures one of pop culture's great entertainers in the feverish grips of pure creativity. The screen is filled with performers, musicians, choreographers, crew members and craftsmen, but the movie's laserlike focus is on Michael Jackson. You understand what it takes to attain such dizzying heights in entertainment, and perhaps why he chose to stay away for...

I try to do what's right for me
But no one sees the way I see
And then I try to please them so
But how far can this pleasing go


Something's soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself

It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind

And start living for me in these changing times


Sometimes I cry 'cause I'm confused
Is this a fact of being used
There is no life for me at all
'Cause I give myself at back and call


Something's soon to come...

If you call out loud
Will it get inside
Through the heart of your surrender
To your alibis
And you can say the words
Like you understand
But, the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance

'Cause you can
Climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest sea, hee
All you need is the will to want it
And uhh, little self-esteem

So keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you 'round
You gotta know when
It's good to go
To get your dreams
Up off the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out
Believe in yourself
No matter what it's gon' take
You can be a winner
But you...
