I know theres some crazy technology going on behind it, but it really just looks like animatronics moving to a recording, like one of those rides at disneyland. When it starts freestyle rapping about a subject spontaneously given to it by an audience member, then I'll be truly impressed.
And the dude talking about robots in the entertainment industry? Could you imagine paying to see a robot sing? It might be cool when it's new, but once the novelty factor wears off it would be like watching a jukebox play a song on a stage. The whole point of a live performance (at least to me) is that the music is being created basically from scratch, and theres always room for error and mistakes. I can't imagine a robot, no matter how complex or advanced, providing the same effect of a live performance given by someone who spent the better part of their life striving to perfect their craft. It would be like watching a computer animated magician perform tricks on a movie screen. It might look cool, but the magic isn't really there.
Maybe I'm being to harsh. I know they're just exploring possibilities, and I'm generally all about advances in technology, but this seems to be wankery.

Man, I hope I live long enough to actually see some sort of fully functional android. That would be so tits.

I think the projected year that computers should have a cognitive ability comparable to humans is like 2025 or something, so I'm sure plunking such a computer into a humanoid shaped collection of electric motors and pneumatic pistons should be feasible by then.
But then we were all supposed to have flying cars by this year (2010), and we've only got about two and a half months to fulfill that prophecy.

Actually, I think the whole situation is ironic - while they're making things like this to make synthetic voice and singing more realistic, people's real voices are being autotuned the fuck out of them.
In 20 years, no one will be able to actually sing except for these bags of circuits.
