You KNOW that Diddy is gonna do this with biggie and that somehow, Cobain will be given this same treatment as well. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Except Jem was a fictional cartoon character.
Now Natalie Cole on the other hand is the first person to use a hologram, that of her own father Nat King Cole.

For some reason I was thinking "maybe that wasn't a hologram". | |

That isn't a holographic image of Nat King Cole. The director used cleaned up footage of him. | |

It's a 3-D computer generated image, i.e., a hologram. | |

I read a real hologram would, if you're not careful, will cut your body apart so...no. They LYING. | |

I figured Michael would have been the first to have something created like this. Although now, I'm glad Tupac is the start of this phenomenon. "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

Virtual Tupac May Go on Tour April17, 2012
The biggest buzz at Sunday's Coachella music festival in California wasn't for a hot new DJ or indie-rock band. It was for Tupac Shakur, the rapper who died more than 15 years ago and "performed" Sunday night alongside Snoop Dogg and producer Dr. Dre.
Internet video of the Sunday evening show became an instant sensation on Monday morning. That response is helping push the possibility of a virtual Tupac tour in coming months.
The rapper's ghostly image was created by Digital Domain Media, the visual-effects house responsible for making the virtual versions of Brad Pitt that populated 2008's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The movie won the Oscar for visual effects.
Representatives for Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg plan to discuss logistics for a tour involving the two performers and the virtual Tupac, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
One option would be a tour in stadiums, involving other hip-hop stars, including Eminem, 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa. Alternately, they could stage a more limited tour, featuring only Dre, Snoop Dogg and the virtual Tupac, in smaller arenas.
"To create a completely synthetic human being is the most complicated thing that can be done," Digital Domain's chief creative officer, Ed Ulbrich, said in a phone interview Monday.
He said that the performances of the rapper's hits "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" weren't simply old ones captured on film and repurposed: "This is not found footage. This is not archival footage. This is an illusion."
"This is just the beginning," Mr. Ulbrich said. "Dre has a massive vision for this."

Now they're calling it a 2-D image, which technically isn't a hologram. | |

CUE Jermaine & Joseph hold a press conference concerning the Michael hologram touring with The Jacksons (minus Randy of course)! | |

I'm sure they would do something like this with MJ to make up for the O2 shows that never happened. | |

I've said this since the late 90s
in a not so distant future, we will have World "Tours" of holograms of great deceased musicians/bands (Beatles, 2Pac, Cobain, Queen, MJ, etc)
and new films featuring CGI/holograms of Bogart, Hepburn, Gable, Brando, Dean, Monroe...
can't say I like the idea | |

Pfff. CNN Was doing this years ago.
