Kolzig Posted November 16, 2010 Yes, I was questioning this couple of days ago that who needs artists anymore, when you can just put a hologram on stage with a synthetisized voice coming from a voicebank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmuerte Posted November 17, 2010 then artist(/programmers) are still needed for the software that is able to generate music, the 3D models, the choreography. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thompson Posted December 14, 2010 So for some reason today I decided to find out what the fuck was up with that hologram concert. Turns out the hologram girl is Hatsune Miku, the song is The World Is Mine and the hologram is being projected onto a screen. Here are some links if you care to learn way too much about it. Behind the scenes Also, don't click the spoiler tag text below unless you wan't to bring the full horror of that concert/song to bear. Below are the lyrics for that version of the song, the song was shortened for that concert. The very best Princess! So treat me just us such, carve it in your heart! Okay Number 1 Always notice my different hair styles. Number 2 Look at me from head to toe. Got that? Number 3 For everything I say, reply with at least three words. If you understand, then do something about my lonely right hand! Not really, I didn’t say I was so spoiled. I want you to think I’m cute, from the bottom of your heart. The very best Princess! Just realize it…hey hey! Making me wait is out of the question! Who do you think I am? Whatever, right now I want to eat something sweet! RIGHT NOW! Short cake with strawberry on top, Top of the line mouth watering Pudding. (Probably not strictly correct) Everyone everyone is holding back. Don’t think I’m such a spoiled child! I can hold back if I put my mind to it! I’ll just regret it later on.. Of course, that’s because I’m The very best Princess! Always keep an eye on me ‘kay! I might leave off to somewhere. Suddenly I was hugged from behind, it’s so sudden! Eh!? “Watch your step, it’s dangerous.” you said as you turned the other way… …saying it that way is more dangerous… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You ask for ketchup and the sheer force of the stream shoots a sausage through your eye and into your brain. Now you are dead. I think the robots are just luring us into a false sense of security with this one. They make us laugh at them while they pretend to be helpess. Only to strike when we are at out weakest.
