Michael Jackson to be awarded 'Lifetime Achievement' Grammy Award on Jan. 30, 2010

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, will be the King of the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, which is to be held on January 31, 2010. Michael Jackson will be awarded a Grammy Award for 'Lifetime Achievement'.

Jackson, along with Bobby Darin, Leonard Cohen, Loretta Lynn, and Andre Previn will be honored at a special ceremony, and will be presented with the awards, the day before the Grammy Awards on January 30, 2010.

E Online reports: "It will be the 14th Grammy of his storied career. (And it might not stop there: The soundtrack to This Is It will be eligible for the 2011 awards.)"

Do you think MJ is destined to receive 15 awards if he is nominated in 2011?

LL Cool J mentioned that he thought a Billie Jean performance should be what is done for MJ's planned Grammy tribute. He said that's what he thinks 'would be hot.' Neil Portnow, the Recording Academy President/CEO said: "Michael Jackson is important to us. Michael is iconic."
