i'm still waiting for Gaga to do virtual concert, she would kill it so hard.

Will this avatar be a good performer or it's going to be 100% like Justin?

ABBA is doing this too. I really, really don't get it. If it's not the actual performer? No way am I spending one dollar (or euro or whatever) to watch what's basically just a fake VR performance. I can just watch youtube for free and in my house. 

(I do get "resurrecting" Tupac or Whitney tho. That's cool.)

It is a bit strange tho since most of these virtual performances don’t use live vocals 

so you’re just watching an animated music video

This...the lack of effort is just becoming more and more...people barely sing and now they barely wanna perform and be seen in the flesh...

you can't compare ABBA situation with this.

ABBA are 70+ yo and can't really perform a tour anymore like Justin Bieber, also the ABBAtars looks expensive asf compared to this fortnite wannabe 3D model lmao

AT LEAST the motion capture comes from the actual person and doesn't look like a cheap imitator
