blankAlthough Michael Jackson's family is staying hush about the new documentary 'This Is It,' his long-time friend Elizabeth Taylor hasn't been able to quit talking about the film on Twitter. In a series of tweets, Taylor said, "It is the single most brilliant piece of film making I have ever seen. It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity," she said.

"To say the man is a genius is an understatement. He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality. I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. There will never, ever be the likes of him again... And we have this piece of film to remind us forever and ever that once there was such a man. God kissed him," she added.

"God blessed him and squandered nothing, but loved it all. Michael knew how to put together every tone, every nuance to make magic... To say he was a genius seems so little. I wish my vocabulary encompassed what I feel," she continued.

"You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again. Memorize it and say to yourselves, 'I saw genius in my lifetime.'"



"If you listen to his lyrics they are those of a modern day prophet and it beseeches us to listen to him and what he sang... From 'Black And White', 'Man In The Mirror'. The inspiration behind 'We Are The World'. We must take his words of responsibility seriously," she added.

Sending praises to 'This Is It' director Kenny Ortega, Taylor continues, "Kenny Ortega did a masterful job of directing the process that goes into making a complete show before hitting the stage.... From A to Z you get Michael's input on every level. Michael's genius at work with the dancers. Mr. Ortega catches Michael in his every mood."

She finally finished with one last thought: "I truly believe this film should be nominated in every category conceivable."
