iamamiwhoami.. who is it?

[xDramatick]

official site (http://www.iamamiwhoami.com/)
youtube (http://www.youtube.com/iamamiwhoami)
twitter (http://twitter.com/iamamiwhoami_)

this is iamamiwhoami.
it has been storming the web for the past few months.
it began with one video, and since then another five have been added.
most people think it's to promote the music of an artist.. but who?

I really admire the campaign.
I think it's extremely creative, I love the six main videos and am so interested in finding out who it is.
Most people assume it's a blond female, producing electropop style music. There's been loads of work made that you can find over the internet of people working out what the numbers/symbolism means within the vids, but still no answer.

Here are the main suggestions:
- Christina Aguilera.
- Fever Ray.
- Lykke Li.
- Kerli.
- Little Boots.
- Goldfrapp.
- Röyksopp.
- Ladytron.
- The Knife.
- The Golden Filter.
- Bjork.
- MGMT.
- Lady GaGa.
- Gwen Stefani.

I think it's definitely NOT GaGa or Gwen.
Most evidence points to Christina (the CH.AG code, the themes of birth/nature, her album being called Bionic etc.
this quote from DS also points to her:
"These videos are based on the mythological Huldra from folklore. She is an ugly creature covered in bark and mud/soot, that hangs from trees and lures men and has her way with them (which would explain all the sexual stuff going on in the videos). She looks like a beautiful, blond, blue-eyed beauty but when the female Huldra is discovered, the glamour masking her true ugly self vanishes. Glamour. Glam. Glam is only a mask. Christina's first single is "Glam"."
As much as I'd LOVE it to be Christina.. something about it seems a little off.

However, Christina, along with Little Boots & Lykke Li have denied it's them.

The music involved sounds a lot like Goldfrapp/Ladytron, whom she's been working with. Then again, I think it could possibly be The Knife/Fever Ray what with the scandinavian theme.

Of course it may not be anyone music-related and could be an advert/promo for something else, but a lot of links seem to think it's music.

I currently think it's either Kerli or a brand new artist, but I'm always changing my mind.
Either way, I'll definitely check out whoever it is. I love the videos, the music within them and the campaign.

Who do you think it is?

[Damaris]

Im gonna check this out in a minute sounds interesting

[Damaris]

Looks like Fever Ray

[MrGaryy]

it definitely isn't Gwen, she's doing no doubt at the minute
it definitely isn't Goldfrapp it completely goes against there direction
same goes for GaGa
same goes for Bjork and Kerli.

the most likely suspect is definitely Lykke Li but I'm not ruling out Christina because there is a LOT of evidence point to her, some of it is coincidental but other bits are very interesting:

I really hope its a new artist.
I dont think its Christina.I just couldnt see her doing something like this

[MrGaryy]

I think it's way too easy to rule her out because of her clean cut past.

but if I had to place money, I'd guess Lykke Li, she has a new album out this year and the teeth resemblance is very telling.

[CaraRawr]

Lykke Li, i think.

[xDramatick]

I hope it's someone new too.

The teeth mean nothing IMO, they've also been matched to Little Boots.
Both LB + Lykke Li have denied it.
Obviously don't mean anything, but I'm sure they'd rather say nothing than deny it and look stupid.

[Damaris]

She looks alot like Little Boots.

[Damaris]

Thanks for posting this Darenn! its really intresting.

Whats with the random numbers and stuff on her videos and twitter

[xDramatick]

google it Damaris, there's loads of people online who've tried to decipher the numbers/symbolism.

Another week, another video from the most interesting viral marketing campaign since forever. "23.5.12.3.15.13.5-8.15.13.5.3383" is the latest clip from the mysterious iamamiwhoami, and so far its the clearest we've been able to hear her voice. From the evidence here, it doesn't sound like the oft-rumored Christina Aguilera. This time the title deciphers to "Welcome Home", and the video features the blonde woman first trapped in the attic of a little hut, then bursting out of it as a plant. Six crosses in the snow seem to indicate the dogs from previous videos paid dearly for their interruption of her moment with the foliage. The accompanying animal to this clip is the monkey. Over to you.

[Damaris]

She posted a video of screaming monkeys on her twitter

[MrGaryy]

She looks alot like Little Boots.

It's practically impossible to go by looks tho because they've distorted the face so much, in some videos she's even wearing a mask it's been said.

[Jords]

This is really interesting and quite freaky at the same time, Ill be interested to see who/what its actually for!

[Stephanie]

kayne west.

[Shaun]

Interesting...ish.

[Callum]

I'm thinking Kerli too.

[MarkWaldorf]

it got boring after video 3, who ever it is.

[Shaun]

He is back from the dead

This is not a woman they are Fooling you this is the work of a very great rapper

Please don't say Tupac...

Unless you mean not literally back from the dead :p in which case...Kanye West?

[Z]

Twilight Twitty!? -screams-

[Shaun]

ahh/

[Jessica.]

hmm

[MrGaryy]

its looking like Christina..

MTV recieved a package with a strand of blonde hair, some balsa wood and a letter with drawings of all the animals used in the videos so far from iamamiwhoami. Apparently balsa wood is mostly found in Ecuador and Christina is part Ecuadorian.

[MrGaryy]

also, ChristinaVIP.com, one of her biggest fansites who regularly have contact with her people have closed the site temporarily and replaced it with the image of a baby in the fetal position, just like the girl in the first and second videos;

http://christinavip.com/

[Damaris]

I hope its not Christina!

Although if it is ill listen to the album for sure

[Braden]

Mika

[Deirdre]

The videos reminded me of Santigold.

[Vladimir]

I hope it's not Aguilera, because she doesn't need these pathetic videos to promote the new album.

[xDramatick]

I hope it's not Aguilera, because she doesn't need these pathetic videos to promote the new album.

...they're far from pathetic.
it's art, it's beautiful and creative.

I'm a huge Aguilera fan and I'd be so thrilled to find out it was her.
Whoever it is.. I'm definitely a fan.

[MrGaryy]

one thing I am sure of is that I definitely WANT it to be Christina. I'd be over joyed if it was.

[MrGaryy]

...well it's not Christina.

it's a new person called Stephen Delrose. disappointed tbh LOL.

[Damaris]

Im happy its someone new still anti climax haha

[Damaris]

Wait a minute are you sure its them Gary?
People on Youtube still seem oblivious LOL

[MrGaryy]

well, it's not CONFIRMED. but that site seems legitimate to me. but it could still be a faker I suppose.

[Damaris]

well, it's not CONFIRMED. but that site seems legitimate to me. but it could still be a faker I suppose.

Hmm i hope its not them lol.

I was suspecting like a massive video to end it or something lol.

[MrGaryy]

same, which does leave me to doubt. I hope it isn't him LOL.

[Damaris]

Is their any way to download the iamamiwhoami files on http://stephendelrose.com/iamamiwhoami/music/

[MrGaryy]

well he has a free EP on there you can download. not sure what's on it.

[Damaris]

well he has a free EP on there you can download. not sure what's on it.

Im listening to it.

Ita all instrumental and quiet electronic stuff.It dosent really sound like the vidoes.

[Damaris]

Its Christina!

Look at her website theirs a picture of the person in the video!!!!!

(Christinavip)

[MrGaryy]

that's the fansite I talked about in this thread earlier that confirmed they heard nothing from Christina's people on the matter and that they were just fueling speculation.

[Damaris]

Ohhhh i was excited then haha

[MarkWaldorf]

I'm a huge Aguilera fan and I'd be so thrilled to find out it was her.
Whoever it is.. I'm definitely a fan.

who ever this belongs to didn't think about the long-term. it's been going on for about 3 months now and i think a lot of people got bored by the 3rd video. it's so utterly confusing that about 50 different artists have been linked to it and i think it's going to set up a lot of people for disappointment if it's revealed to be some unknown.

distorting the identity, licking a pussy tree and publishing random sets of numbers every few weeks just becoming increasingly tedious for most people. an example of a good promotional campaign would be Shakira's 'She Wolf' one. wasn't confusing, was well thought out, matched what she was selling etc.

as i said before, i feel sorry for christina if it isn't her because people are going to be expecting something on this scale with her now. i know her team denied it ages ago, but a lot of fans really set themselves up for disapointment here.

[Damaris]

I just downloaded the music i just right clicked and saved and they all had blank names apart from one which the artist was called the orion pixel.

[MrGaryy]

ok apparently that site is just a back up. so never mind haha it could still be her or whoever.

and tbh I think the campaign is clever. If it's Christina it's very well thought out and if it's someone else they just got very lucky as everyone is talking about them. I disagree that people have gotten bored, there's still a lot of interest on a lot of music boards and just this month NME did a 3 page spread on it.

[iRyan]

"Stephen Delrose" is probably the person who is producing the songs for the artist, not the actual person behind it.

[Damaris]

Im excited now!

From her Twitter

'the truth. MIDNIGHT. 12. DARK A/COW'

[MrGaryy]

ok guys Stephen Delrose is definitely not involved.

and we will be getting the final video tomorrow :P

[Damaris]

How do you know that Gary :0

[MrGaryy]
