      Michael hired Navi to be his 'decoy' so that he would not always be smothered by the crowds. They would dress the same, but Navi would head out the front door of a hotel with security guards & Michael would leave by a back door with a smaller crew of security guards so as not to attract attention.
      I also remember Navi performed for Michael for his Birthday, in NY & Los Angeles.

    I don't want to sound Disrespectful in any way to anyone. I am glad that they are keeping Michaels Legacy alive.( BUT) there is only 1 MICHAEL we all love him and miss him greatly. But I can't seem to wonder if he was only Michael in the movie WHY? does he go on tour as MJ and sing his songs? I kinda think he's getting to comfortable playing Michael. But the sad thing is he's making money off someone that has passed away. Why NOT be yourself? Make money that way. Sing your own songs dance your own moves and and make your own style. That iminage belongs to someone already. I miss him so much also. But trying to live his life is not right.

      It will be on tv on May 29th, if that does not change. Not sure if they will give out too much of the movie. It will spoil it for people. Just keep and eye out on LifeTime, or come on UA-cam and type in Searching For NeverLand.

    I find this pretty exciting to watch.
    However, MJ would probably be rolling in his grave.
