Music Artists You'd Like to Perform at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics Opening Ceremonies

The Top Ten
1 Hatsune Miku Hatsune Miku, sometimes referred to as Miku Hatsune, is a humanoid persona voiced by a singing synthesizer application developed by Crypton Future Media.

Miku gets first place again on TheTopTens, and I believe someone is yelling "But she is not real! " out there. There were many computerized singers exist before Miku, and none of this comments were seen during that time. I will say it right here, as a fan, that I love Miku knowing that she is not real. Personally, I strongly believe that Hatsune Miku is the most fantastic singer I've ever known..

I really understand people wanting Miku singing at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics (though by the time I'm writting this the event already ended), but honestly it would be kinda out-of-place for reasons I'm gonna tell now.
First of all, nobody has seen a computarized singer singing at any Olympics Opening Ceremonies before, as far as I know. Second of all, she looks and sounds way too, uh, "cute" for an Olympics Opening Ceremony, given that so far we've seen singers with normal hair and normal voices (some of them having really good-sounding voices, AFAIK). Not to mention that she also sounds and looks very young which could very well weird out the audience (I could see more adult-sounding Vocaloids such as Luka, Meiko or Kaito sounding good to the audience, though). Third, she's a JAPANASE singer, mostly at least. Sure, there's English versions of her voice, but most of the Vocaloid community doesn't seem to enjoy them as much as the Japanase versions, AFAIK. But hey, nothing wrong with trying something new, right?

I would also like to clarify that I enjoy Vocaloid song a LOT. Not the thing I listen to everyday (I listen more to techno and electro stuff), but I still love them, just thought I would point out my opinion on having a Vocaloid singing at an Olympics Opening Ceremony.

2 Il Volo Il Volo is an Italian pop trio, consisting of singers: the baritone Gianluca Ginoble, and two tenors, Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto.They describe their music as "popera".

Il Volo. Just saying the name puts a smile on millions of faces around the world. Three young Italian men (2 Tenors, 1 Baritone) who have literally rocked the entertainment industry with their worldwide performances. Their style (Genre) of music has been praised by all ages from 1-92 years. Standing ovations every time (even from their peers) in the music world. They have outstandingly beautiful voices when each sings alone, but when they sing together are (ethereally) magnificent! They speck several different languages, and sing in several also including English. They are the Italian Ambassadors of Italy! Which is an awesome inspiration for many younger generations around the world. Their performances are classy and sophisticated, yet have a way of exciting and mesmerizing any audience they stand in front of. Il Volo would be the perfect choice for the 2016 Olympics! The world needs to know about these wonderful young men.

Il Volo is an international singing sensation, classy, talented and wonderful upstanding young men. They are international award winners. They are Olympic champions of international music and would be the PERFECT fit to sing at such a great event as the Olympics. They travel the globe and people EVERYWHERE love them. They are Italian ambassadors to the world and would be honored and thrilled to sing at the Olympics. Just like the Olympic athletes, they are role models to young people everywhere. They would be as asset to this wonderful international event. Thank you for letting me comment.

Il Volo are the BEST singers in the world. If you want class then these are the guys for you. These voices are out of this world. Their solos are spectacular but as they said their power is singing together. I have been following them since 2009 the beginning of their careers & have watched them win awards & explode all over the world with their touring, When you see one of their concerts you get pure quality and at the meet & greets after the concert they are so kind to their fans that they want to meet their fans & show them their appreciation. No other performers could honour a city better than Il Volo

Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca are three amazing and talented singers of 22, 21 and 20 years of age who start their outstanding career in 2009, when they were kids. Since then, their talent, harmony together, friendship, success grew up and transformed them into the humble, funny, great young men they are now. As Italian, I can say that I'm proud of Il Volo and I would love to see them performing at the 2016 Olympics! Vote them and you won't be disappointed, because apart from singing beautifully (they got several nominations at the Latin Grammys, won a Latin Billboard Awards, the Sanremo Festival and the televote of Eurovision 2015! ) they are great ententainers. Simply amazing. We love you guys!

Vote for real people, not vocaloids. They make real music with instruments, not computers. These guys aren't my favorite, but they are the best thing near the top. Vote for real people and real music, don't let phony vocaloids take over music!

For a start he can sing. He has voice, talent and looks. He'll be a perfect fit. If he try not to shout on stage it will be a blast.

Who else? Other than Metallica, Linkin Park is te best! They would be appreciated by a great variety of people!

7 Kagamine Rin and Len

These adorable Twins are amazing! They have great songs and put so much emotion into them. They deserve to be in the spotlight as well and not just Miku. They are my favourite vocaloids and I think it would be awesome if they were more known around the world! In fact, I might actually want to watch the game if they were the ones that would be performing! I'm going with Rin and Len all the way!

Do not underestimate these twins because they can also compete with real people. Their songs have good meanings and it can be watched by adults and children. This Olympic will start a revolution of Vocaloid! Gekokujou ( the first song of Kagamine Rin and Len )! Stand up with Hatsune Miku and show the world what Vocaloids can do! Hurray for Vocaloid! Hurray for Kagamine Rin and Len!

Rin and Len are the best vocaloids out there! And even though the two of them are not real, they are amazing singers and have beautiful voices if the producer knows how to use them right! A lot of their songs have great stories and they sound wonderful together! This is the time for a bit of change! Help Rin and Len get known by voting for them!

The twins are awesome! They pour more emotion into their songs and they are adorable as well! Miku shouldn't be the only one at the top, it's time for the twins to shine as well! Although this isn't an official website to vote on who's going to perform at the 2016 Olympics, the twins should be known as well, not only Miku! Gekokujyou~! Vote for the Kagamine twins!

Personally I think that they'd pump up everyone there at the opening ceremony! They have also had one of the biggest concerts ever in Moscow! I mean, come on, time to show teenage girls what real music is about! M/

One of the Bestselling Bands in the world who are still around. Metallica deserve to perform at the Olympics. It would expose a generation who have heard nothing but manufactured teen pop to talent.

Vocaloids and random Japanese and Korean pop artists above Metallica? What kind of a list is this?

The realest rapper out there that lost no skill and did not fall off.

Jessica left in 2014. They are known as the second best selling girl group of all time, Korea’s National Girl Group, and one of the best girl groups of all time.

Girl's Generation is absolutely so talented...

I think, compared to Hatsune Miku, they are almost twins. Girl's Generation can dance just as well and sing just as well as Miku. Especially their leader, Taeyeon. Her voice is just beautiful. She can sing really high and really low.

Comparing to Miku, Girl's Generation's dancing and singing is unbelievable. They are just as good as Miku. I am also a Miku fan but I choose to stay on Girl's Generation's side... They are actually human yet they can do all the things Miku can. They can dance, sing, act cute, stay cute...

They also have a member that speaks really good English. Tiffany and Jessica had the best English since they were born in America but Jessica left but Tiffany's still there.

Please please please let Girl's Generation go to the Olympics! Give them a chance to prove to everyone that they truly are talented.

Girls' Generation is really amazing. Though they only have eight members now, I still think it's worth giving them a chance to perform at a huge event such as the Olympics. I know everybody wants a change a allow Miku to perform, but I really think that our angels can do just as well. Please please give them a chance!
