A clip of the song “Human Nature,” sung by Michael Jackson during concert rehearsal, has turned up on YouTube.

The song, I am told, is not even being used in the movie “This is It,” set for release on October 28th. But someone somehow got hold of it, and here it is.

The weird part is that Sony’s security surrounding “This is It” is said to be overzealous and out of control. One insider told me recently: “I’ve never seen anything like this.”

I guess it didn’t work so well, unless the “Human Nature” clip was intentionally leaked.

But it does show Michael singing very well, moving well, coherent, with it, and right on the money. This should shoo off the naysayers who claimed that Jackson was being “worked” into the ground and couldn’t handle rehearsal. He’s clearly ok here.

Share and Enjoy !
