Talk:VOCALOID in other media/@comment-30602727-20140917211218/@comment-32500188-20140918101732

Σ(⊙Д⊙ ) Wow...

... I don't know what to feel on this... I don't know if I'm happy that she's getting such a huge chance for exposure in the states (which, to be honest, it's very exciting that she'll be broadcasted on a well-known national American television network of all things), or afraid of the reaction that's going to come as soon as she starts performing. If it's anything as narrow-minded as half of the reactions from both the Lady Gaga concerts and the 3D Michael Jackson performance, I'm not looking forward to having to explain to another flood of nay-sayers (yet again) that they're letting their views on "the cover of the book" form a biased and ill-informed opinion on something that has a lot more to its core with the "behind the magic" workings.

I really do hope they'll have someone up there to explain what's the driving factor of VOCALOID's popularity, not just Miku's and the fact that she's a CG singer that has "captivated the heart of Japan" and all that... (or, at the very least, the writers actually do their research so Dave can talk about it himself while introducing her). Otherwise, I sort of feel pessimistic, because I know how the media likes to sensationalize and blow facts completely out of proportion around our side of the world. Really hope they do right by her instead of potentially making a joke out of the whole thing... (=3=)
