The Michael Jackson tributes and specials continue this week.

Tonight, Fox will celebrate the King of Pop’s music by airing an encore of the only ‘American Idol’ performance show to feature Jackson’s songbook. This season, the top 13 ‘Idol’ contestants performed some of Jackson’s biggest hits, including ‘Beat It,’ ‘The Way You Make Me Feel,’ and ‘Black or White.’ The episode will air from 8 to 10 p.m.

At 10 p.m., ‘Dateline NBC’ will air a one-hour version of the 2003 documentary ‘Living with Michael Jackson’ that led to child molestation charges against Jackson. MSNBC also is repeating it several more times over the next two weeks.

“Michael Jackson: His Music Legacy,” will premiere at 8 p.m. Wednesday and will include Jackson’s popular music videos throughout the decades.
