"American Idol" Michael Jackson Tribute Episode To Re-Air Tonight
The hit reality singing show "American Idol" is paying tribute to pop king Michael Jackson following his untimely death. During tonight's primetime lineup, Fox will dedicate two hours to the singer by re-airing a special Michael Jackson episode of "Idol's" recently- wrapped eighth season. The episode first aired back in March with each of the remaining 13 contestants belting out Jackson's hits including "Remember The Time," "Black Or White," and "Beat It." The two-hour Michael Jackson tribute episode of "American Idol" airs tonight, June 29th at 8 p.m. Eastern.
