‘What Do Machines Sing Of?’, A Robot That Endlessly Performs Hit Ballads From the 1990s While Adding Emotion

What Do Machines Sing Of?” is a robot by artist Martin Backes that endlessly performs number one hit ballads from the 1990s while attempting to add the proper emotion to its performances. When one song ends the machine randomly selects another and keeps on singing.

Backes posted a video demonstrating his machine’s talents as it performs Whitney Houston‘s cover of “I Will Always Love You” and “I Believe I Can Fly” by R. Kelly.

For comparison, here are the original videos for those songs.
