During the Grammy telecast this year, Michael Jackson will be receiving an unprecedented tribute. Not only will there be performances by Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Celine Dion and Smokey Robinson in his honor, but there will also be a 3D video clip that will be show for the late singer’s hit ‘Earth Song’. Home viewers will be required to pick up special glasses available at Target stores. Unless of course you were able to keep the ones you used to watch ‘Avatar’. The King of Pop is also said to be receiving the lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy.
