{nl}Rumor has it that Justin is to perform at the grammys to a recording of legandary new york singer frank sinatra. In the recent weeks Alicia Keys has been linked to this exact senario.{nl}But Buses in major cities , such as LA and new york are baring this billboard !{nl}FOX NEWS DAILYIs it true? Well, my sources say that Michael Jackson may actually be performing at the Grammy Awards this Sunday.{nl}A lot could change between now and Sunday night, but the scenario that’s been described for me goes something like this: Justin Timberlake starts the show singing along with a tape of Frank Sinatra. The next act up is Jackson, performing one of his hits from “Thriller,” possibly even re-creating the dance number for “Billie Jean” he made famous at the Motown 25th anniversary show in 1983.{nl}Will it happen? Who knows. Jackson, my sources insist, has been rehearsing at a Burbank studio and keeping away from the Staples Center, where the Grammy show takes place.{nl}Of course, if it does happen, Jackson would get a huge boost for the special 25th anniversary edition of “Thriller” that Sony releases on Tuesday. And if it doesn’t work out, well, then … as they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
