Chalk it up as one of the biggest
spoilers in music history: After teasing everyone with news that none
other than the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, would provide some
form of "world premiere experience" at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, the show's producers found their bubble unceremoniously popped. An unexpected lawsuit
revealed that the "experience" would be, as some predicted, a hologram
of the singer "live" onstage, performing music from his posthumous
recent release XSCAPE.
Well, so much for the suspense. And, not that fans were expecting an actual resurrection
of the superstar, or anything (however, in this day and age of
increasingly bar-set-higher awards shows, who knows?). Still, the crowd
Sunday night was notably silent when the hologram-ed Jackson was was
revealed, in energetic fine form performing XSCAPE's "Slave to the Rhythm" and delivering some of (the real) Jackson's best-known and loved dance moves, including a moonwalk.
Watch the hologram performance below....
