Entertainment Weekly says:
Legend has it that Michael Jackson left behind hours upon hours of unreleased music when he died this summer - an entire alternate discography lurking in a vault somewhere. His latest posthumous release includes exactly one of those mythical songs: "This Is It," the uplifting ballad he co-wrote with Paul Anka under another title. Aside from that, This Is It mostly amounts to another greatest-hits compilation from an artist who released several while he was still alive. The hook is that these familiar tunes - yes, the same studio versions you've heard a million times - are arranged in the same order as they are heard in the new This Is It concert film, and presumably as they would have been played in the epic live stand that Jackson had planned to put on in London.
