Michael Jackson hologram to tour the world?by Bang Showbiz | 20 May 2014A hologram of Michael Jackson could be set to tour the world after a successful performance at the Billboard Music Awards. The two-year tour could make half a billion dollars.Michael Jackson is set to tour the world again - as a hologram.The late King of Pop, who was resurrected onstage at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night (18.05.14) thanks to advanced technology, could wow fans across the globe again five years after his death.The producers behind the special effects extravaganza want to take their show on the road for a two-year tour and are predicted to make half a billion dollars.A source told the Daily Star newspaper: ''It's only a matter of time before a hologram like this goes on tour. Public appetite for Michael Jackson's music has never been greater and this is a unique way of experiencing his magic.''The hologram performance at the Billboard Music Awards follows the success of a new posthumous Michael Jackson album, 'Xscape', which recently topped the charts in the UK.John Branca, the executor of the singer's estate, added: ''It's so important to experience Michael Jackson in a live setting. We wanted a live performance in front of a live audience.''It took four months to put together the lavish special effects show, which saw Michael's hologram gyrate and moonwalk on stage to new song 'Slave to the Rhythm'.The late singer's choreographers, Rich and Tone Talauega, were behind the dance moves.You are not allowed to view links.

I personally wouldn't attend 'virtual Michael's' concerts. Having everything cued to happen with the technology would be a dampener for simple live venue spontaneity . It would have to be a tightly orchestrated fit to have all aspects of the show , human and technology, run together like clockwork. I am no fan of that. Not to mention that there is Michael's presence, his own energy that would be absent and I think this is the major point against the idea being successful. Lacking in his essence, the whole contrived thing leave a 'soulless' feeling for the viewer.
But curls, we are not asking Michael to perform, are we? we just need him back, happy and healthy and vindicated. If he wants to take entertainment to another level, as he said in his Geraldo Rivera interview, he'll find a way, maybe something better than a just hologram concert. It's a totally different case, if Michael did come back and THEN introduces the hologram concerts. No one should have a problem with that. But if Michael isn't back yet, and the hologram starts off, people are going to have a problem with that. Who's going to assure us that it is Michael behind all of that? Is that assurance worth our trust?wii game is quite a different scenario. People know it isn't Michael. And they aren't expecting anything. Michael album (2010) was different, we wanted to listen to Michael's voice but "breaking news", "monster", and "keep your head up" were sung by someone else. Same goes for the hologram. Most of us wanted to see Michael's face as it is. Now that's a disappointment.

Disappointment only follows over ambitious expectations. I reckon we should've learned by now, that with all things MJ, to expect nothing, to acknowledge that even what we are presented with may well not be as it appears and not to rush into making hasty conclusions or judgements.

I really enjoy reading what everyone says, but this is exactly how I feel, but never could come up with as good of a way to express it. Everyone do you think michael is coming back? I gave it hard thought today because this hologram thing really got me thinking who is behind this and why, and I started to loose my beLIEver hope and then I thought and remembered, I thout of how no one is allowed near his resting place and thought of a reason that likely is, because some crazy fan my try an Cray the ground or something similar and see the empty casket and immediately got back to being a beLIEver. Hope all you ladies and gents out there can give your opinion on this theory of mine.
So what you are saying is that I shouldn't have expected the Hologram to look like MJ? you know that's not possible. That's the "least" anyone can expect. It can't be termed as over ambitious expectations. We were promised a historic tv event, but it was nothing like that.
