Sharon Apple, Eat your Heart out!
Sharon Apple, Eat your Heart out!

Youtube vid of a completely virtual idol singer.
Clicky
I am amazed at the quality of the Japanese voices for this technology versus the English ones.
Somewhere you can also find this same "performer" doing Fly Me to The Moon at LEAST as well as Megumi Hayashibara did it.
And... Someone has already created a "Rickroll" video with the synth voice.

It sings "Still Alive."
Still looking for the Rickroll, though.
EDIT: MIKU ROLL, yes!
Also: O Canada, "voi che sapete", and... Castlevania?! Two great tastes that go great together!

This is a very impressive achievement, but by god, those two are just priceless.
Still Alive sung by the usual voice amuses me, but sung by a soft japanese voice that pronounces it oddly, it just cracks me up.

Wow, that's rather impressive. I wonder if there'll be a version that supports English/European phonemes any time soon?

Very close, but it won't be Hatsune Miku.
They have Vocaloid 2 English language voices in development:
Sweet Ann: a country-western-ish voice. Crazy
Prima: Operatic.I Will Go With You

I'm not terribly impressed by Sweet Ann -- I could barely understand what it was singing, and that was only on the parts of the song I actually recognized. Prima sounds a little better...

In this case, Sweet Ann was being programmed by a Spanish-speaking composer/sequencer with English as a second language... It may also be an underlying weakness in the version of Vocaloid2 he's using.
And a lot of Hatsune Miku youtube vids are being taken down for their backing tracks violating TOS.

*sigh* I guess I'd better go download the interesting ones, then, before they have a chance to disappear.
I've seen a lot of interesting things disappear (either because YouTube deleted it, or the user did) for no apparent reason, I should probably do this a bit more... Two great tastes that go great together!
