It's funny how the CGI Elvis had a better stage presence than Celine Dion.

Slick shoes?!! Are you crazy?!!

OK, the horrors and tastelessness of this aside. Was Elvis digitally added later? Or was there some other trickery involved? The YouTube claims it's a "hologram". I don't know what they have been smoking while watching Star Wars, but such technology doesn't exist yet. Best one we can do still is the smoke-and-mirrors that enabled Gorillaz to appear on stage.
How did this appear to the audience?

Wasn't Elvis in the army the year she was born?

My wife is a major Celine fan.
Wish I'd known that before we tied the knot.

Funny, it’s more the other way around for me.
No, scratch that: they both kind of annoy me.

Seems to me they had Coke commercials back some years with dead people in them.
Prolly in 10 years they'll have movies starring dead people (no not Zombies) and living actors will be out of a job. Heh.
Awnold with Grace Kelly. Naw, I don't think so.
Too "creepatastic".

If anything they should have projected Elvis rolling over in his grave.

This kind of reminds me of that old SNL sketch "Natalie King Cole sings with all her Dad's old friends"

The scary thing about this is what will happen with the money and rights? My expectation is that the studios will now own the persona, and just rake it in.

The deceased's family usually owns the rights to their image and how it is used.

I thought the best job they could have done would have been to not do that kind of cheese at all.

That video just reinforces what I already knew:
Celine dion sucks and so did Elvis.
|
|
"…many people must be ruled to thrive. In their selfishness and greed, they see free people as their oppressors. They wish to have a leader who will cut the taller plants so the sun will reach them. They think no plant should be allowed to grow taller than the shortest, and in that way give light to all."

I heard her duet with The Who didn't work out so well when Pete Townsend smashed his guitar over her head...
...wait, it worked out perfectly.

Elvis wasn't the problem in that duet. Even as a fake digital projection he looked and sounded better than that decrepit monkey skeleton standing next to him.
