The performance will feature the never-before-seen 3-D mini-movie for "Earth Song" that was created by Jackson as the centerpiece of his much anticipated "This Is It" tour, but was never seen by the public.

According to the press release issued by the Grammys, Jackson saw the song, which has a strong theme about the future of the planet, as a unique opportunity to deliver a message to millions of people who would have seen him on tour. "It was one of the most important portions of the concert tour to Michael and when Michael saw the film for the first time at his last rehearsal, there were tears in his eyes," stated Ken Ehrlich, Grammy co-Executive Producer and longtime Jackson associate, who was also at the rehearsal that night.
