Yamaha introduced Vocaloid in 2004.  Vocaloid 5 was released a couple of weeks ago and has made leaps and bounds progress over the last fourteen years.  The synthetic singing voices have several different male and female sonic avatars along with their visual anime avatars.  There are live Vocaloid concerts and a boat load of original music made by folks that bought the software from Yamaha.  There are not a lot of great songs yet since it seems that the creators tend to be computer geeks as opposed to musicians.  Yamaha introduced  an English version a couple of years ago, but Vocaloid is really only popular in Japan and even that market is mostly otaku or weeaboo (animae fans or anime devotees).

 

With a bit of improvement (quite a bit actually) I think we may start hearing more and more synthetic vocalists.  Every year we see more and more electronic music falling into the mainstream...look at this thread...tons of music that was never blown out a horn or strummed on a string instrument.  Many many tunes that are completely or in a large part computer generated or sampled sounds organized with software into real honest to goodness pop music.  

 

What does a real musician do when they can't sing or they sing like me (that would be terrible).  Buy the software for a canned voice is an answer for the near future.  No fees to the singer, no rehearsal problems, no sickness at gigs,and more that I can't think of at the moment.  Vocaloid is the last piece in the synthetic pop music machine.   While there are not a lot of great tunes out there now, it has to be just a matter of time before real song-smiths discover and start using Vocaloid voices.  Below is one of the better V-tunes.  Apparently the Japanese singing is much truer to the Japanese language than the English version is to English language, but the English version has only been on the market for a couple of years...it will improve, especially as demand starts to increase.

 

Not the best song in the world, but it is an acceptable dance tune and is a good example of an English Vocaloid singer.

Is that her dancing too?   I can't really tell, but it looks like her.   If it is her, she seems to be a very good dancer besides playing a mean violin....lotsa talent.
