We may have lost Michael Jackson, but at the Grammy Awards Sunday night, audiences got the next-best thing: a 3-D performance of his famous "Earth Song." Smokey Robinson, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, and Celine Dion all took the stage to pay homage to the King of Pop. When portraits of Jackson appeared on the mega screens at the close of the performance, the crowd removed their 3-D glasses and gave the group a standing ovation. After the performance, Lionel Richie welcomed Jackson's children, Paris and Prince Jackson, to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award on his behalf. Dressed in matching outfits inspired by their father, Prince thanked the fans, who were "always there for him," while Paris closed with, "We love you, Daddy."
