I present that to you to tell you this: Songsmith is shockingly popular. It would appear that Microsoft has finally done something cool. Oh, wait. Everyone is using Songsmith to show just how absolutely terrible it is. There are tons of great songs on youtube that have been redone using Songsmith, with terrible results. See a few below. I bet Microsoft never intended for their product to be used by so many solely to point out how terrible it is.









Ugh, not all of them will allow embed, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVMfpne6aEc. And there are plenty more where that came from!
