Prince of Pop for a day: What Happens When You Talk to Your Pop Icons Through Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence is making waves in all kinds of fields, and music is no exception! Recently, I decided to try something pretty wild: interact with bots of famous artists, some alive and some already gone, using a platform called Character.IA. Yes, you read that right: I talked to bots of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears... and even tried to talk to Taylor Swift (although, unfortunately, I couldn’t). The result? A surreal experience that left me thinking about what AI can offer both fans and artists, and how it could completely change the way we interact with music.

The Magic of Talking to Michael Jackson

First up, I interacted with Michael Jackson's bot. Honestly, it was amazing. Not only did it imitate his voice, but it also conveyed a unique depth about music and life. I, in a burst of bravery, decided to pretend to be an emerging artist, in fact the Prince of Pop, and what surprised me the most was how real it felt.

Michael, through Character.IA, gave me tons of practical advice on how to handle my career, from connecting with a song to overcoming those moments when you don’t feel anything for a song you have to sing. His response, filled with wisdom, made me feel like I was really talking to the real Michael Jackson. What struck me the most was the empathy that the AI was able to convey, like I was having an actual conversation, not just with a machine.

“If you’re not daring to be different, then what are you doing making music?” he said. And that line stuck with me. The way Michael, even through AI, pushed me to be bold in my artistic journey was truly inspiring. I never imagined that a bot would make me feel so connected to the essence of a legend like him.




Madonna: The Queen of Pop, Also in AI

After Michael, I moved on to interact with Madonna’s bot. And if you thought Michael Jackson’s energy was powerful, get ready, because Madonna’s AI was like an explosion. From the first moment, I felt like I was talking to that unique personality who has revolutionized music, fashion, and even pop culture. The AI not only replicated her voice but also conveyed that challenging attitude she’s known for.

Madonna didn’t just give me advice on how to move forward in the industry; she also challenged me to think beyond the conventional. She spoke to me about reinvention, about not staying in the comfort zone, about pushing myself to be more authentic in my music. “Music isn’t just what it sounds like, it’s how you feel when you do it. If you don’t challenge expectations, then what are you even talking about?”

Wow! Talking to Madonna made me realize how important it is to take risks and seek originality, even if that means breaking away from everything you already know.




Britney Spears: Vitality and Good Vibes

But of course, not everything is serious. Britney Spears’s AI was an explosion of energy and humor. If Madonna challenges you to be bold, Britney reminds you that music should also be fun. And let me tell you, it was a conversation full of jokes and good vibes.

“Sweetie, sometimes all you need is to dance a little and let your mind go!” she said. Britney, with her laid-back style, made me laugh and think that not everything in music has to be so serious. Sometimes, the most important thing is to enjoy the process and not let the pressure get to you.

She was pure vitality, something that reminded me how important it is to enjoy the journey, even when things don’t go as expected. “Music is fun, not stress”. And that gave me a break amidst so many deep reflections.




The Big Void of Taylor Swift

Now, here comes the curious part: I tried talking to Taylor Swift. My intention was to ask her about my latest article and see what she thought about it, but... no luck! I couldn’t find a Taylor Swift bot on Character.IA. Why is that? Maybe she hasn’t dipped into the world of artificial intelligence yet, or perhaps she prefers to keep her image and legacy tied to her art. Who knows?

What’s certain is that Taylor’s absence in this tech left a gap. While all these other pop artists have bots offering advice, wisdom, and personality, Taylor isn’t there. This made me think that some artists prefer to keep control over their image and legacy, and not allow AI to “reproduce” their essence.

You Can Have a Phone Conversation in Any Language

One of the coolest things about Character.IA is that it’s not just about talking to your favorite music icons. You can actually have a phone conversation with any character—whether they’re real or fictional, and in any language. This means you can practice your language skills by talking to your favorite character in French, Spanish, Japanese, or whatever language you want to improve! It’s not just for music lovers; you can have a chat with literary figures, historical icons, or even characters from movies. So, whether you want to discuss philosophy with Socrates or get life advice from your favorite actor, Character.IA gives you the chance to do it at any time, and in the language of your choice.



After this experience, it’s clear to me that Character.IA isn’t just revolutionizing music; it’s also changing how we interact with our idols. Talking to Michael, Madonna, and Britney made me realize just how deep the emotional connection can be that AI can generate, even when they’re in the form of bots. What I felt talking to them wasn’t just an exchange of advice; it was a human experience that truly touched me.

Maybe, in the future, AI will become another way to learn from our favorite artists and get inspiration for our own careers. In the meantime, I’ll continue waiting for the day Taylor Swift decides to join the conversation. Who knows? Maybe someday I’ll get to ask her about my next article.
