Michael Jackson Tribute Team: Grammy Practice
Getting ready for the biggest night in music, some of the industry's top names joined together onstage at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards rehearsals at Staples Center on Saturday (January 30).
With Carrie Underwood, Celine Dion, Smokey Robinson, Jennifer Hudson and Usher all on-hand, the five singing sensations sported 3-D shades as they readied to pay tribute to the King of Pop Michael Jackson during the evening ceremony.
Of the night's plans, Miss Underwood recently told MTV, “The Grammys obviously wanted to pay tribute to Michael Jackson and his music, so they wanted to do something that he was passionate about. So, they asked all of us, I guess five of us, to be a part of it. ... I’ve met Usher. Obviously, I’ve met Jennifer Hudson. I think I’ve met all of them actually, but I don’t think I’ve ever sang with any of them, so I’m really very excited to be even considered in that group of names.”
“Hopefully, [the tribute performers are] people that he respected and liked,” Carrie added. “I’m just honored they asked me. Of course, we said yes before we knew the details. I’m there, and I think it will be a really cool moment on the show.”
The Grammy Awards will be airing live on CBS from the Staples Center on Sunday night (January 30) at 8PM.
