Michael Jackson is Alive... Sort of.

At this Sunday's Billboard Music Awards, Michael Jackson returns. Did he ever really leave our minds, hearts, or headphones though? I for one can say he never left mine. 

Appearing in the form of an extremely high-tech hologram, reminiscent of Tupac's at Coachella last year during Dr. Dre's headlining set, MJ will be performing track #5 off of his 2nd posthumous album, "Xscape." Titled "Slave to the Rhythm," this highly energetic dance track, produced by Timbaland & J-Roc, surely will be the show-stopping moment that Michael always was guaranteed to bring when on stage. 

Personally, as a huge Michael Jackson fan, I'm all for the hologram. I'm not really a fan of the remixed "Slave to the Rhythm" track, but I attribute this to mostly the fact that I've had the original demo of the song in my iTunes for around four or five years now. After what felt like a million replays of the demo I had, I'm ready for actual unheard MJ music. The fact that 6 of the 8 tracks on the Xscape album were already floating around the internet for years, is kind of a slap to the face of true, diehard fans such as myself. 

I seriously love the fact that MJ is back in the top 40 of the Billboard charts, having his songs in commercials, and the like.. So i'll stay optimistic to the upcoming plans from the Estate.

We'll see how Sunday goes.

Update: The performance... Yeah.

MJ's vision is forever vivid.
