It's still a noticeable difference between the computer and human but this is a huge improvement from the current computer that are loaded on most windows machines. The first time I heard a computer sing was with bonzi buddy many years ago and it was singing bicycle. Hearing this new technology and comparing it's quite amazing how life-like this is getting.

wow, i never knew computers were be able to sing. Also, I would never have guessed that the voices which are used on Microsoft's Narrator would be used for the computer's singing.
The audio clips on that site are good. I'm really impressed at how far technology has actually gone, what with computers now being able to sing as well as talk.

I agree with jlhaslip's post above. I doubt that in a couple of years, singing would be the most advanced thing computers could do. In a couple of years, computers will most likely be able to do a lot more than just singing. Looking at singing in a couple of years will look old.

I think if Microsoft did release full length songs similar to the clips on the site, they would become very popular and could even make the top part of the charts.
