As long as she isn't watching American Idol. Bad enough we have humans screeching like cats in heat on that show we don't need a robot doing the same thing.

The robot's probably using the 3rd generation of VOCALOID. This video has her using the 2nd generation of the program.

Told you VOCALOIDs can sound human when used well.

extra room to hold her stuff.
gears, levers, motors, circut boards.
everything in her in functional, not just pretty.
look at the size of her hands. for a small robot she has a big frame. there is a lot of stuff in her trunk.

Yes, and those big hands are there to rap you up side of the head should you decide to "accidentally" brush against one of those gears, levers, motors or circuit boards. :twisted:
