In love with a hologram that doesn't need rehab are we?

Good Day Readers:

Sometimes we forget just how good radio can be especially the CBC. The following is from Q hosted weekday mornings at 10:00 by Jian Ghomeshi.

It's on immediately after The Current another excellent program featuring Anna Marie Tremonti - excellent interviewer!

Is 3D hologram Hatsune Miku the future of pop?

Japanese pop star Hatsune Miku is a 16-year-old singer ... a stylish, blue-haired pop princess who's topped the charts there, sold out stadium concerts, and garnered tens of thousands of Facebook fans. Hatsune is also a 3D hologram: a singing virtual avatar created by a Japanese technology firm, using Yamaha's Vocaloid voice synthesizer. Unlike the Britneys and Gagas of the world, she can perform simultaneous concerts, meet all her fans' demands, and never needs to go to rehab.

Take a look at her video. Do you agree with technology writer and Q guest Aaron Saenz, that the vocaloid phenomenon could well be the future of pop?
