Celebrity Bet: Michael Jackson To Win On Oscars 2010

His death shocked the world in 2009, and there are still those that think Michael Jackson is still alive. Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” is being tipped for Oscar glory. The movie is 7/4 with Paddy Power to be nominated for Best Picture at next year’s Academy Awards and just 6/1 to win Best Picture.

Anyhow with the runaway success of This Is It at worldwide cinemas, he could be in line for the chance to win a posthumous Oscar. If you fancy celebrity bet Michael Jackson for one final act of pop brilliance, this time in the form of an Oscar, then go for this bet. If “This Is It” does get the nod it will be the first documentary in Oscar history to make the Best Picture nominations list.

To qualify for the Oscars, the film must complete a seven-day run in Los Angeles County and filmmakers would need to submit the proper paperwork but there’s a lot of buzz around the movie particularly after smashing the worldwide box office. Paddy Power are also quoting 9/4 that “This Is It”, directed by Kenny Ortega, will be nominated for a Golden Globe Award and 8/1 that it wins the Globe for Best Picture in 2010.

The odds on Michael himself winning a posthumous Oscar from the grave are 25/1.
Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “According to Oscar boffins, “This Is It” received a fantastic reception at the academy screening in LA on Sunday and there are now lots of whispers that it will be this year’s Oscar banker!”

About Michael Jackson: From the Moonwalk and single sequined glove of “Billie Jean” to the zombie dance of “Thriller” to the Anti-Gravity Lean of “Smooth Criminal.” Often imitated, but never duplicated, Michael Jackson was the King of Pop and he’ll be cherished as one of the most irreplaceable pop culture figures of all-time. A singer, dancer, songwriter, humanitarian, and full-time celebrity curiosity, Michael Jackson might never have been truly understood as a person, but when his vocal hiccups and stellar dance routines did the talking, his millions of unwavering fans supported him for all time.

Michael Jackson lived and breathed timeless music as the lead singer of The Jackson 5 before going solo. It was there that he used “Billie Jean” to give MTV its popularity, created the biggest-selling album ever made (Thriller) and transformed music videos into short films that included collaborators from Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes to Marlon Brando and Martin Scorsese. A two-time entrant into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Michael Jackson’s legacy includes 17 No. 1 songs, 13 Grammy Awards, numerous Guinness World Records, and a fan base that knows no borders.

Michael Jackson’s later years were somewhat overshadowed by bizarre behavior and allegations of criminal activity in his private life, but the part of his legacy that will speak the loudest is his music, both from him and the many artists including Madonna, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake who idolized him. The worldwide outpouring of grief after his death was a reaction not seen since the deaths of John Lennon and Elvis Presley, and global anticipation by fans eager to catch a glimpse of his final concert rehearsal footage in Michael Jackson’s This Is It was further proof that his following remained as strong as ever.

Phew, that is one heck of a mind blowing performance by the artist on stage – Whitney Houston, the vocalist without par. The exhilarating tempo and the foot thumping music assault your senses and you are swept away on a sea of musical sensation. Even before you can recover from the experience, Elton John takes the stage and you’re in for another enthralling performance. Next on stage is Madonna, and the musical juggernaut is well and truly on its way. This is not some wild dream but everyone’s favorite fantasy come true albeit with a minor aberration – the performers on stage aren’t the real thing but lookalike tribute artists.

Welcome to the quintessential Celebrity Impersonator Tribute Show – the new age musical extravaganza designed by entertainment companies to grab the maximum eyeballs. Where else can a music lover catch so many top notch superstars performing under a single roof. You have long dead legends like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, John Lennon etc. come alive on stage again just for you. The sensations of the 70’s and 80’s such as Tina Turner, George Michael, Michael Jackson, and Cher find pride of place along with contemporary musicians like Justin Timber Lake and Christina Aguilera. A celebrity impersonator tribute show is great value for money. In fact it’s the closest anyone can get to seeing these legends perform without seeing the original star.

These tribute shows are performed by the best tribute artists in the business. They are song and dance extravaganzas captivating the audience with their glitz and glamour. The audience is caught up in a vortex of pure feeling and greedily laps up the sensory overload being dished out to it.

You can expect superlative performances by the artists at any of the tribute shows. That is what sets these shows apart from other run of the mill performances. The tribute artists put their heart and soul into every performance and if you close your eyes to listen you might even think you’re listening to the original star sing. Yes, they are that good. Dazzling costumes and flashing lights add chutzpah to the whole show.

In single artist tribute show, it is the tribute artist who takes home all the accolades for a successful show. But in a celebrity impersonators tribute show, the credit also goes to the band and musicians who provide excellent backup to the singer. The lead band members have to adjust their music to the different styles and genres of the performing artists which is not a mean feat to achieve. It can be safely said that the success of the evening depends equally on the tribute artists as well as on the accompanying band. Tight choreography and snazzy dance moves by the back up dancers add the proverbial icing on the cake.

When you tie in all the elements of the show with the varying styles of the superstars being impersonated, you get a power-packed package that is spectacular to say the least. A celebrity impersonators tribute show gives you more bang in for every buck!
