Tonight will be yet another music award to award the same people that was awarded at all the previous awards since the start of the year. But this one might be a little bit better than the rest.
This Sunday’s Billboard award has been hyped to be something special especially with the big Michael Jackson Showcase. With that in mind I think we might see an MJ hologram. It is being billed as “history-making performance” so this might just be the answer.
This will of course be another promotional piece for the posthumous album released by Epic last week. I did pick up the album and I think this album needs to be bought so I am up for all the marketing push from Epic.
We are more inclined to believe that a hologram will be seen as a federal judge ruled on Friday that the Billboard Music Awards can use a hologram of the deceased pop icon, rejecting efforts from tech companies seeking to block the digital performance. Jackson died in 2009.
The award show is not all about MJ though, As Lorde and Imagine Dragons are competing in 12 categories, followed by Justin Timberlake, who has 11 nominations. Timberlake and Las Vegas-based Imagine Dragons will battle Perry, Bruno Mars and Miley Cyrus, who will perform remotely from a tour stop in England, for top artist.
One of the biggest battles we will see is the battle for the hottest Hot 100 song of the year. This years nominee include Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Lorde, Katey Perry and Imagine Dragons whom had the longest running song in the history of the Hot 100.
There will be much performances and we hope they are all great.
