Has shit gone too far with this hologram performance thing?

First it was Tupac, and now it’s Michael Jackson.  Technology is taking center stage, literally, by bringing back the dead in either a duet or a choreographed live music video performance.  At the end of the whole fiasco, it spells more money and entertainment.  Postmortem album sales and merchandising have struck a nerve in artistic integrity, and the question demands a viral concensus: Should we allow these types of performances to occur, and are we disrespecting the artist when we allow ourselves to become captivated by an artificial CGI performance of themselves?
