I watched this and although creepy I thought the same thing about the "Gorillaz" when their animated video first came out 10 years ago. The "Beatles" evoked a similar feeling in the 60s when they announced that they no longer would be performing live at concerts and only releasing studio recordings. Novelty or something to watch develop ?

Seems to be the next logical step, I mean half the acts in the charts are computer generated, why bother even putting a human face on it?

I have a suspicion that's a real person made up to look like a robot.The movements appear to be more like a human trying to appear robot like than vice versa.I wonder if she plays a Gibson Dark Force or Robot Guitar.

We have computers, cell phones, GPS devices, and now robotic entertainers. Can't you find that at Disneyland? If we're not carefull, we will push humans out of existance. I'm not against technology, but where do you draw the line?

technology is good and all, but we should STOP developing robots before 80% of all sci-fi movies come true.... if something is smarter than the creator its a danger to the creator period, regardless of what restrictions the creator sets as it will just work around them. robotics needs to stop NOW.

Suddenly I have the urge to buy a shotgun. Do shotguns work against robots? <_<
