Watch the live telecast of the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards from the Staples Center in Los Angeles to be shown on Star World on February 1, 8PM Manila Time (Sunday, Jan. 31 USA Time).
Aside from the usual nomination and awarding the Grammy winners Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Carrie Underwood, and Usher will give tribute to the King of Pop Micheal Jackson who passed away last 2009.The special Grammy tribute includes the showing of the full 3-D mini-movie for "Earth Song" which was partially shown in the This Is It documentary and should be used on Michael Jackson’s concert tour.

"It was one of the most important portions of the concert tour to Michael and when Michael saw the film for the first time at his last rehearsal, there were tears in his eyes," said Ken Ehrlich, Grammy co-executive producer and long-time Jackson associate, who was also at the rehearsal that night. "This very special Grammy Moment will feature some of our most respected Grammy recipients, all of whom have a great love for Michael," added Neil Portnow, president and CEO of The Recording Academy.
