Concerts with virtual Michael Jackson?
Just reading the gossip… It seems that Janet Jackson may be taking over some of the concerts in the O2 arena, London. And maybe introduce Michael Jackson as a virtual person. It is a possibility because it has been done before.
Just have a look at the Gorillaz during the MTV Europe Music Awards and during the Grammy awards with Madonna in 2006.
Both the live and TV audiences who watched the performance had no clue that what they were watching at least in the first few minutes of Madonna’s performance was just virtual reality.
The Grammys performance was a variation on the MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon, with the added attraction of a virtual superstar. Yes, that’s right. The Madonna you saw on stage with Gorillaz at the Grammys was a virtual as her cartoon counterparts. However, the rappers from De La Soul who came onstage were, in fact, the real deal.”
