Michael Jackson stole the show in the Billboard Music Awards.

“Uncomfortable, odd and eerily interesting.” That was how public relations agent Simone Smalls summed it up in a tweet, after watching the star’s hologram perform onstage. “Not quite sure what to feel. #MissingMJ” Jackson died nearly five years ago while preparing for a comeback tour.  Ludacris, the rapper-actor who hosted the show, actually introduced it as “Live from the MGM Grand, Michael Jackson.” NBA team owner Mark Cuban tweeted about Jackson’s “hologram” saying, “He’s baaaccck!” The dance moves were not really Jackson’s but apparently those of a stand-in performer who recreated his steps for a computer that then laid on an image that replicated Jackson.
