Was that a real Madonna with Gorillaz?
I didn’t bother to watch all of the Grammy Awards last night, but I did catch the first half hour or so. The Gorillaz “performance” was a pretty neat trick, and I’m willing to bet that the illusion seemed more realistic to people watching in the audience from a fixed perspective, rather than the moving shots we got on TV.
Madonna’s performance was actually impressive too. The choreography was good and it seemed like she was really singing, which is a nice little touch, seeing as how awards shows are notorious for lip-syncing.
The part of the performance where Gorillaz and Madonna overlapped was a little suspicious, however. I wasn’t sure if that was her, carefully interacting with the animated characters from behind the screen or if it was a computer-generated material girl. Well, I did thirty seconds worth of sleuthing, and I’m convinved that Madonna was computer generated as well.
At first I just noticed that the computerized Madonna didn’t have the knee-length fishnets compressing those 47-year-old thighs, but when you look at the two side-by-side, there are a lot of details that don’t match. I don’t think I uncovered some great conspiracy, but for those of you who might have been wondering, here’s your proof. The animated Madonna was still pretty impressive.
