Or did he? The controversial performance has caused a huge back lash from the Michael Jackson fan community who insist it&#8217;s an impersonator and not a true holographic representation of Michael Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>The huge backlash from fans has caused some of the more familiar impersonators to come forward and share their thoughts:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>CHRISTOPHER GASPER: I just wake up. It&#8217;s 7am and everybody are sending me messages or friend request&#8230;. An hologram&#8217; couldn&#8217;t be me because it&#8217;s a projection, anyway. They used me one time live on stage not for the billboard performance. I&#8217;m disappointed as you all because they said that is MJ and it was not MJ at all. When they used me for the performance they called my name to introduce me. Regards.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>E&#8217;Casanova: I didn&#8217;t like the Billboard Music Awards. Fans wanna see a hologram of Michael not of a look-alike.<\/p>\n<p>If they were gonna use a look-alike why not just have him perform live?<\/p>\n<p>Weak.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The performance which has divided views also had fans ecstatic :<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Donna Kneeland: I thought it was pretty cool!! It wasn&#8217;t him but it is the closest we are going to get!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Heather L. Forrester: Awesome!! Made me smile &#038; cry! The King lives on&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Jay Hoffman: This is being more creative and keeping in with what MJ stood for. I think Michael would be having a right ole giggle. Positive vibes to all<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Jackson the King Of Pop took to the stage last night at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards to perform &#8220;Slave To The Rhythm&#8221;.
