They had to dig up Elvis and clean him up a bit, and make-up did a fine job too.

Yea, but choosing not to use Celine Dion.

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?

Ah, apparently I am correct in thinking the audience saw nothing:

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".

There's always divorce court.

Didn't they already do that with Marlon Brando in Superman Returns?

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

You have to be dead to do that.

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.
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

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.
