I don't think there is an orchestra version short film. Just the regular one was used for the video.

Re: The - This Is It - duet with Paul Anka - appreciation thread
The Spike Lee video for This Is It is great. Nice tribute.
I do not understand why it's not on MJ's official youtube channel.https://www.youtube.com/user/Ahess/videos - me dancing MJ - many years ago.
I would be really glad if you rated or/and commented the videos. Thanks

The version from Anka's album used Michael's vocals from the 2009 released version, and was Paul's vocals new?

Good question. I don't know. I always thought it was new vocals, but really I do not know. Originally Posted by Dart_Jack

I really like Anka's version. His arrangement gives the song the flow it needed. Wish he would have used its real title, I Never Heard, for release.
Btw, this song was always intended being a duet between Anka & Jackson.

Just listened to some Anka's 1983 works, then to his "This is it" version... I would say that the lyrics to This is it were recorded later, but I could be wrong. Originally Posted by Dart_Jack
