Being a huge MJ fan, I loved seeing it. At the same time, certain things threw it off and took away from the enjoyment of it. It was the same way with the Pac hologram, yea we were seeing him, but he ain't move quite right. Though I thought it was just all computer, with his moves lifted from past performances, I found out that there was a person hooked up to wires and probes and crap doing the actual motions. Then I was like "ohhhhhhh, so that's what the problem is."
With Michael, they needed to have this down to a science, since his every move he made was key to his performance. What is Michael without movement? I wasn't even watching the awards, but my Moms called and said they're about to do a MJ holo on it. SO of course I quickly turn it on. Off the dump I'm studying. Naturally looking for anything not quite right. 50 years from now anything will be fine, but we grew up watching this cat, right? First thing I notice is his face wasn't quite right. I wouldn't say this anywhere in person because then a whole new debate takes over. But like someone posted earlier, I thought it was an impersonator, because how can a computer not get the face right with unlimited amounts of data. So I said fuck it, that's not what I'm worried about.
First couple seconds were okay. Then he started walking, big fail. Mike had this gangsta (not the pimp limp) walk when performing like he just knew he was the man. Then just as I knew, the moonwalk happened
. No man, that wasn't even as good as his first Motown 25 moonwalk. We all know Mike evolved that thing into 'a whole nother other'. He really used to be floatin on some shit. Then dude did the toe stand and pointed at his feet
. WTF was that? Then it dawned on me, whoever is doing the moves is on some "hey y'all remember these classics?" shit.
All in all it was something to see. But I feel like they shoulda done my dude betta than that. You can best believe once they do the Elvis one a mofo betta not miss a step. Be buried alive in the Vegas desert somewhere.
