I wish they could have done it like the original plan, which was to show the film in that type of 3D format that moves out of the screen towards you. The glasses that are used for that cool type of 3D are not like these red/blue ones, but instead have gray lenses, like at Disney World. MJ and Kenny were wearing some neat Wafarer-looking gray 3D glasses during TII rehearsals. With this red-blue type, I don't think we'll see the actual astonishing effects we would have seen with the gray-lense glasses at the concerts.

Agree 100%
I was hoping that would've been on TII dvd as a bonus or something. Prolly didn't have the time to make it happen since they wanted the movie and dvd out so quick. I dunno.

The Red/Blue are a lesser form of 3D technology, but it's more easily accessible right now. I agree that the other type of glasses gives a much better effect, and a lesser distraction of the red/blue coloring. However, I think there are ways digitally to enhance even the Red/Blue even more. It would be nice to just do things as they are in the movie theaters (I saw Captain EO with those type of gray glasses), but for whatever reason, this is how it's done. I don't think it'll always be that way. The new 3D TV that just premiered at the Electronics Conference wasn't Red/Blue.

Look at a couple of those pictures I posted. Move your head to the left and right. The depth of field is very well done on those (especially the 1st and 2nd). I'm still anxious to see what they've done tonight. I also need to get the BluRay of This Is It to see the "Thriller" and "Smooth Criminal" back drop videos they did. It's not on the DVD, but accessible via BDLive. It was so well done, and I loved that he used part of the "Ghosts" music in it too. That was a great way to change up that song for once. The 2nd part of "Thriller" was the same tempo (and almost the same music) as the "march" section in "Ghosts".

Read my reply above. And the one above that. I talk about those videos they did, which are accessible via the BluRay disk, with your BDLive BluRay player.

The new Smooth Criminal film is awesome. The plot is the same as the original (MJ chased by a villain), but I'm amazed at how they put Michael in that old film "Gilda." It's incredible. I have the Blu-ray, and was watching it last night.

Thanks for the info about the new 3D TV. I'm gonna purchase one on sale from Wal-Mart about 15 years from now.

Just watched Maxwell pick one up in the pre show. Im pleased. I really wish these were the awards they would air on tv (jazz!). Would have loved to see Foreign Exchange awarded as well but alas.

Damn... Paris was giving Vintage Prince with them damn ruffles

PASSIONFRUIT said:

I said the same thing. I don't even recall seeing him in the "In Memorial" portion of the show.

daPrettyman said:

He was in the Memorial part, ya'll. It was an old clip of him.

ernestsewell said:

Ok, I recall now. It was a clip of him on Soul Train wasn't it?

banks said:

i know

mimi07 said:

Prince looks so much like Debbie Rowe that it's scary! Paris is a beautiful young lady.

Well Bey is Queen y'all. All hail the queen!!!



Taylor Swift beat out Gaga for album of the year.



Taylor Swift beat out Dave Mathews Band for album of the year.

DesireeNevermind said:

Taylor's album was decent, though. I'm not mad at her at all.

daPrettyman said:

Actually I'm considering getting it. She was so cute in her shock of winning. I liked how she said she would be telling this story to her grandkids when she's 80. Probably more like great grandkids though.

Is it my imagination or his her back unusually curved?

Swift and Beyonce has proven my theory. Music is DEAD!

yes. taylor swift is slightly hunchbacked.


other observations:


Elton John looked like an old ass Perez Hilton
Katy Perry looked a hot mess only because Russel Brand was next to her.
Drake, Weezy and M tore it up!!!
Taylor and Stevie sounded like bad karaoke

DesireeNevermind said:

They tore up their careers. They SUCKED!!!!! What a horrible 5 minutes of utter noise and nonsense. Half the fucking thing was bleeped anyway (which was the best parts for me). They were a joke.

ernestsewell said:

Oh hush, they had to bleep for the youngin's and the oldin's. I loved it even with the bleeps. I talk shit about Drake but he really is talented and damn if M was on point. I just wish Kanye was up there since he's featured on the track. Poor Kanye.....sort of.

DesireeNevermind said:

How could u tell? 80% of it was bleeped out.

daPrettyman said:

The overall performance, the energy on stage, how they engaged the audience (particulary Weezy), the fact that they pulled it off minus Kanye...it was pretty damn good and it could have been totally fucked.

I'm no rap fan at all. Rappers bore me live. They do nothing but walk around stage.
