At 93 pounds and just over 5'2", the 16-year-old diva was a full foot shorter than David Letterman last night during her network television debut. When her performance was met with applause, she snickered, swaying atop two impossibly thin legs. If it wasn't for her oversized irises, and gravity-defying pigtails—both electric blue—her reception might have earned her comparisons to similarly-statured starlet Ariana Grande, or Bieber protegé Madison Beer. But when the hologram performer of "Sharing the World" disappeared into pixie dust, she didn't return to a single green room or trailer, but she was still ready for an encore. One paradigm shift towards, and one mesa way beyond the Uncanny Valley—that's where Hatsune Miku, the hologram pop princess, lives.
