Vaswawa Sings Through a One-Minute Stream Delay After Her Computer Freezes

M.ENTERTAINMENT — Vaswawa sang through a two-hour karaoke stream on Friday with a one-minute delay after her computer froze, and told viewers that everything they were watching was her from a minute earlier.

She said the freeze hit her stream during the evening and that she estimated the lag at about a minute. Chat joked about it, with one viewer writing that the two sides’ timelines would never meet. Rather than end the broadcast and start a new one, she carried on, and she apologized at the close for the long stretch of delay.

“Everything you’re seeing now is me from one minute ago.” — Vaswawa, on the stream delay

Between songs she said she tends to sing too loudly and wanted to try a lighter touch on songs that call for power. She started one number by mistake, laughed it off as the wrong song and moved on to the one she had planned. Later she talked about her investments, saying she was down only about 1 percent after buying before a market dip and that the loss was within what she could accept, then dedicated the song Gunjo (Ultramarine) to wishing the markets a recovery the following week.

The stream’s title, an after-work singing session whose name left a blank, “OO,” for what keeps her from getting out of bed each day, had chat guessing at the opening about what the blank stood for. Later, viewers traded opinions on whether an AI that makes things up counts as lying.

Signing off, she said she was going to eat and had plans for the evening. Her next stream will start at 6 p.m. on Saturday, she said, possibly earlier depending on her mood, and she plans to play a detective game, at least one case.
