janetDAYZ Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Whitney Houston is the latest posthumous celebrity to get the hologram treatment.According to Billboard, Houston's sister-in-law Pat has teamed up with Alki David, the CEO of Hologram USA, to create a hologram of the icon for a major televised performance next year. Pat, who is also the President of the Whitney Houston Estate, says she was happy to partner with David for the upcoming event. "It's a great opportunity for her fans to see a reinvention of one the most celebrated female artists in history and to continue a legacy of performances that will not be forgotten in years to come," she said. "I look forward to the partnership."In addition to a televised performance, the event will be streamed through the David's popular streaming site, FilmOn.com. David's latest partnership comes after his troubled deal with Chief Keef to hold a hologram benefit concert in Chicago. The billionaire's past antics included a $10 million purse for a boxing match between Chris Brown and Drake and bragging about falsely providing the first live webcast of an assisted suicide.David's Hologram USA will design the hologram. In recent years, a Tupac Shakur and Michael Jackson holograms have performed at award shows and music festivals.Source: Billboard | Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vibeology Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Ugh...just feels like its in bad taste. If it looks as eerie as the last MJ one did, leave it alone Edited September 17, 2015 by vibeology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaria Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think it's "too soon"For some reason when they did it with 2Pac it felt ok... cus he's been dead for so long. Michael was... a little strange. I think they should leave Whitney alone for another 5 or 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I don't know why I feel weird about this. I don't know if because it's too soon or the novelty has worn off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeaznboi Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Doesn't make any sense to me because Whitney was never a really visual artist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 What is the hologram going to do? Walk on stage, sing, and walk off?That's eerily realistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
