Grammy Awards to feature 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson

An elaborate 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson has been planned for the 52nd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Jan. 31 on CBS, as the show honors the King of Pop with a Lifetime Achievement Award. The tribute will feature past Grammy winners Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Carrie Underwood, and Usher singing along with the voice of Michael Jackson.

The Grammy Web site report that the tribute is going to also feature a never-before-seen 3-D mini movie for “Earth Song” that Jackson himself created as the centerpiece for his This Is It tour, and has never been seen by the public. “Earth Song” was an original composition and a No. 1 hit for Jackson, with a theme about the future of the planet, which Jackson saw as a unique opportunity to deliver a message to the millions who would have seen him on tour.

CBS has partnered with Target to provide millions of free 3-D Grammy glasses so that viewers can get the full 3-D experience at home, while Grammy attendees at the Staples Center in L.A. will also receive a pair of 3-D glasses to experience the 3-D event live. The special Jackson tribute will mark the first time a sequence is broadcast three-dimensionally during an awards show.

Are you excited to see the tribute in 3-D? Will you be heading to Target for a free pair of glasses?
