Through pop lyrics you learn to identify your own personal feelings of love, loneliness and joy with those of famous stars. Behind these public feelings there are often the desires of commercial powers such as record and film companies. Through "Let them sing it for you", you get the possibility of doing it the other way around. Instead of letting your vocabulary of feelings be dictated by famous voices, let the famous voices express your innermost thoughts.

By typing in a text of any kind you can get it sung for you by some of the world's great-est pop stars. A database of sung words has been built up and is supposed to be gradually growing through the users' own interaction. If you find a word missing in our sound vocabulary, just tell us, and we will
extract the word from a song of your choice, and add it to our database.
"Let them sing it for you" constitutes an alternative to the way you can get computers to sing or read a written text. Even this function is automated, but with a much richer and more unpredictable result. Send your friend a love declaration, Christmas wish or poem sung by Judy Garland, Lou Reed and Christina Aguilera. Authorities can replace their streamlined phone answering voices with an unruly mix of mythological and sexually inviting voices belonging to the pop world's greatest icons
