Someone on reddit thinks it might be the robot from the silent movie Metropolis, which Giorgio Moroder made a soundtrack for.
that movie came out in 1926. He was born in 1940. He did do the soundtrack for The Neverending Story though.
In 1984, Moroder compiled a new restoration and edit of the silent film Metropolis (1927) and provided it with a contemporary soundtrack. This soundtrack includes seven pop music tracks from Pat Benatar, Jon Anderson, Adam Ant, Billy Squier, Loverboy, Bonnie Tyler and Freddie Mercury. (wikipedia)
Damn I really need to cut my husband out of my profile pic!
Yeah I thought you were a dude until girly fashion thread lol
Fixed! Now back to the clue!
If we could all just figure out what the hell that robot is from perhaps that would be helpful. It's not the Svedka-bot and to me it actually just looks like an old bronze statue.

Apologies... Ma'am. And I'm with you I don't see anything that says one way or the other robot or statue..
If it is the robot from metropolis I think people shoukd find more ways to connect Janelle Monae who's two album titles involved archandroid and electric lady... concept albums about a android from a city called metropolis. Not sure about the city thing though.
Janelle Monae attended a "Performing Arts School called Freedom Theatre, which is the oldest African-American theatre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." (Wikipedia).
oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man
If Janelle Monae is there I will actually FREAK out. Even though I just saw her a week ago...

The Disco Biscuits formed in Philly. They have multiple jams referencing robots. In the "On Time" video there is a robot dancing.... Probably not them since they don't really do other festivals other than their own: Camp Bisco. However, Camp is rumored to be canceled this year...
If so she represents Industry (along with other statues atop the same building that represent agriculture, commerce and mining). Also, that building is not pictured in the clue if it makes a difference.

The Robot lady does look like the one from the film Metropolis. Lady Gaga has made mentioon of the film in several songs and in music videos. Throw in the "gay" connection with Philly, and it might be for Lady Gaga (based on her stance for gay rights).

Will Smith.
Here's why. He's from Philadelphia. The photo is shopped and the image appears to be a robot. Will Smith was starred in I, Robot. He will hopefully be performing Big Willie Style in its entirety.

Janelle Monáe was born in Kansas City, Kansas on December 1, 1985, where she spent her early life. Monáe has stated that the fictional character of Dorothy from the film The Wizard of Oz has been one of her "musical influences." She has told reporters that she has dreamed of being a singer and a performer since she was very young.[9] She then moved to New York City to study drama at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, attending a Performing Arts School called Freedom Theatre, which is the oldest African-American theatre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.

Still having trouble really linking Monae to Philly. Like if it was her why would they use that city.
best connection is still: Janelle Monae attended a "Performing Arts School called Freedom Theatre, which is the oldest African-American theatre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." (Wikipedia).
Also: "the series involves the fictional tale of Cindi Mayweather, a messianic android sent back in time to free the citizens of Metropolis from The Great Divide, a secret society that uses time-travel to suppress freedom and love."
I want to indulge in making a HUUUGE reach and say that freedom (DOI) and Love (city of brotherly love) have something to do with Philly and a real life version result of Cindi Mayweather bringing freedom and love to The Great Divide.
The Metropolis stuff is ALL OVER her career so far. Its one of her favorite movies, her first ep and only albums are all about a female android in a city named Metropolis.
I still can not quite buy that they would choose Philly for the clue. I would have used New York or even Atlanta before it.

I agree, I think this is pretty solid. She also collaborates with Big Boi in a song, so mayhaps we'll get a special guest during her show...

Also, I am having a lot of trouble linking Janelle to Philly as well. I feel like they would have used another city instead...

Just a stolen idea from Reddit, but food for thought nonetheless.
The image is doctored. Dr. Dog is from Philly. Too easy?
Would probably need something more than that but the philly connection is there so who knows.
If we go down the "doctored" path, the the doctor that I guess is dr. Phil and dr. Phil + Philadelphia is really philly, just like Phillip Phillips' name. Point being, if the shop indicates "doctored" then it could point anywhere.
Any chance the lady is the goddess of freedom (libertas)? On the independence building, goddess of freedom, Philadelphia freedom = Sir Elton John. Still haven't heard the radio clue tho.
I am seeing it more of a tiny dancer. And then the philly skyline. For Philadelphia Freedom. But that could be so they can laugh at the guesses.....
