Microsoft Songsmith

[eeriemailbox]

It a real challenge to watch this whole thing...

[DerSohndesVaters]

OMFG FUCK-.- im a "serious" house producer and i fucking hate this wannabe DAW -.-.............suicide

[MrSalvaur]

@DerSohndesVaters you are an idiot , thats what you are

[DJmurderbazz]

so dam gay omfg no...

[LAVATORR]

You really get the impression that Lisa, even as a the nine year-old child of frigid stage parents, knows what bullshit this is.

I think Lisa will turn out okay.

[ynyslochtyn]

Not at all cheesy eh

Does it do heavy metal?

[tronjhiem79]

Wow! This was just plain horrible. But I still believe that that Windows 7 launch party was a nightmare.

[MotweraCity]

will never beat Garageband ever!

[ROVTECH2]

MAD TV !!! :P

[willy1508]

YOU'R A RETARD IF YOU THINK THIS IS REAL!!! omg, this was made as a joke...

[HariboOSX]

@willy1508: If it's a joke, how come it's available for download and purchase? :P

[loquek]

@willy1508 way to go, nub nub

[uchio]

LOL at 2:02 "Microsoft huh? So it's pretty easy to use." AHAHAHAHA since when are Microsoft products easy to use or safe? IE6 anyone?

[toad773]

Epic fail........

[13jonny89]

this is fucking nerd

[daniel24393]

Turn the Vuvuzela button on. Sounds much better...

[ixaxxar]

You can run windows on a macbook. How different is this from the Korg Karma auto acompaniment features. Who knows what would happen if you sent it some weird signals and it tried to play along with that. Route the output of your Nord Modular or Reaktor patch into it and see what it spits out... If it's cool sample it and send that in again.... Don't kill yourself.

[samisking]

I think the 'glow in the dark towel' story is a metaphor for how this ad was made. I also think songsmith will sell as well as those towels.

[simontaita]

BaaaaaaaaahhhaaaaaHHHHAA

[IloveSarahRoemer]

Someone throw this into a building and nuke the shit out of it! Quick wheres my gun? (BANG!!!)

[gtheswbg]

What the hell are they smoking.... xDDDDD

[DoubleDeeFilms]

"microsoft, huh? so it's really easy to use!"

hahahahahahahaha

best line - it made me crack up

[sibtein]

damn this dad is gayy for suree

[fyourcouchnigga]

God damn! My ass feels like its been hammered by a thousand prison inmates.

That shit was gaaaaaaaaaay

[XdeniseysaX]

oh my god thats the shittest thing ive ever seen....its so great........im in stitches!!! fuck.....gimme i want it now bahahahahahaa

[Bokaj01]

((OO)) By Kratos Flaming Blades! The makers of this pile of shit must be cleaved in half!

[nisdesignde]

OH MY GOODDD, looks like one of the Farhud Productions..

[iMegatr0n]

i would dig that douches eyes and and make him watch himself eat them :D!

[TomasPaalman]

I really wanna punch these people in the face...wait, club them with a golfclub

[alexthebeanbag]

ohhh myyy godddd

[lovonne86]

well it is real.... My husband is a Microsoft developer and songsmith IS real!

[iamsuperspaz]

if this i real which i highly doubt it is then the maker should just straight kill them-self before i do it for them...

[BanditQ]

Oh dear..... :-S

[DirtyZone]

They should cover the Apple Logo on the Macbook better =D

[tunebean508]

@DirtyZone.... BWHAHAHAH!!! Classic.

[cfsimon21]

@DirtyZone

It's probably a sibliminal message to everyone who wonders when they will fix all the things they "broke" since Vista came out. "If you want to make music get a freakin' Mac and stop complaining about Windows".

[farshidw3]

is this a real advert??!?!?!

oh my god...

[sawmaster2]

Yup.

[farshidw3]

Wow...

0__0

[Enardah]

unfortunatly, yes.

[Voutshy]

"Microsoft, huh? So it's easy to use."

haha okay - thats just another lie! haha idiots

[sawmaster2]

The "So it's easy to use?" was a question.

[Yelonde]

Its a macbook. . .

Who in the world runs Microsoft's advertising department? Every time Microsoft makes an ad, a mac seems to be involved in some way or another, (example: Microsoft's "I'm A Pc" campaign that was edited in a mac version of photoshop).

[djsuperstar717]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

[kevcampb]

dear gods!

[JeremyPueringer]

Lisa : "im singing with my laptop"

Dad : "Oh man, why didnt i use condoms?"

[Thompson1381]

das is doch doooof xD omg neee

[Thompson1381]

Boa ey xD buuuu voll die unterschwällige werbung iiiii :P

[queenfanmichel]

Funny a Microsoft program demostrated on a MAC.

[miztaz]

just gotta say this .. the laptop daougther and father use is a mac with stickers covering the apple logo. and this is a microsoft ad.. ???

[1969luap]

Microsoft-I'm sorry, but this has got to be the worst promo I have ever seen or heard. Why on earth would you continue to use this? This looks and sounds like an application for children. I was contemplating on a purchase, but after watching this video, I will pass. And, if anyone were to ask me about Songsmith, I would tell them (based on this video) not to bother. Who indeed approved this?!

[iLoveiMacs]

Umm this explains why I have a Mac. I don't put up with pure bullshit like this.

[panosxry]

does this game exist?? :S

[lillabibba]

OMG!

And this is serious?!

[darkroronoa]

i wanna kill myself after seeing this lol

[nitro912gr]

I hardly keep myself from doing the same thing :P

[silva6939]

god dont watch this at 11:50 pm or you wont sleep... wtf my ears :s

[tiberis1221]

@darkroronoa Yeah, maybe thats one of the side-effects of this ad :S

[Bokaj01]

The horrrors...it's a scary thought that SOMEone SOMEwhere has approved this pile of shit...

[faunos51]

The horror, the horror i embrace it

[gate077]

hahaha this is pure fail

[ticktacktramp]

So what about these crappy songs, and why don't Bill Gates sing along? I mean, he must have been there n' co-found, these sucky bullshit rhymeees! :D

[secondsound82]

ahaha so lame

[Nohka]

Wow, Songsmith's tunes all sound like some poor country-songs or they just suck. It makes no difference..

[basgras]

AHahaha

"Microsoft, huh? So it's... pretty easy to use?"

Hahha

[rmbgi]

I thinks this works better with a Macbook pro :) The apple logo is covered with stickers LOL...

[Holyaxe]

So this is how Gates makes money? Wow, easy money.

[dmanthree]

"cause it's the new cool thing"

haha. way to go microsoft!

pfff.

[jaathan]

i thought this was a jooke.....plus the macbook pro?

[val3t]

tell me something...

Why does Microshit produce some kind of CRAP instead of focusing on the problems, people really have: WINDOWS!

I'd like to hear some ideas.. WHY?????

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

Are you a homophobe?

[decrcare]

oooh so corny

The only think that is good on this video is the MacBook Pro

[Lol0930]

OMFG NO!

[allyano]

had some fun with this app when I tested it but its for teenagers!

[friskysman]

i can't believe microsoft would charge for this shit. as it stands, it has no practical use. they should at least give it away until they improve the technology.

[friskysman]

i love how the dude who actually did market research is told to STFU so the guy with the shitty song can go. thanks for dumbing down the world, microsoft.

[semieden]

Oh god, that girls voice is really grating.

[marlls1989]

Nice app, but this ad sucks.

[cockyjeremy]

Not only is this stupid as hell, they're also using a MacBook.. lol. Microsoft FAIL. Imagine that.

[marlls1989]

You made no sence, Microsoft is Software, Apple is software and hardware.

Both are partners, both have great products, why cannot use both?

Running vista on a macbook hardware is no different from running in a dell one in the corporative sence, but with a lot higher quality.

[mrclc2008]

marlls1989, you're such a dipshit. for starters, the word you are searching for is "sense". so, technically, you made no sense. haha.

also. moron. Apple and Microsoft are NOT partners. They are fierce competitors. (i.e. the recent Microsoft smear campaigns)

third. you cant run vista on a macbook legally, so yes. it is different than running on a dell computer.

oh, again. you spelled sense incorrectly.

think before you speak. people like you pollute the internet and make it a terrible place

[marlls1989]

I am awfully sorry to teel that you is the one who is pollution the inet is propably you.

first I am Brazilian, my english is above the normal for my country, it is so nice that it has even tricked you to think I'm a native Speaker.

Second, you are not capable to prove your point, so you use of verbal violence in order to bully me.

Third, Since when is it illegal to run vista on a mac? is it any different from another x86 machine with efi?

[marlls1989]

self responding in order to write more:

fourth: Apple and Microsoft are partners! OSX has great interroperability with Windows envs, both are major software producers to the other platform:

including: MS Silverlight, MS Office, Safari, iTunes, Quicktime, Messenger for Mac, Remote desktop connection, mdns-sd (aka bonjour) and latelly Microsoft Exchange in both OSX server and client, without mention iPhone.

And of course the patent protection agreement (like the one controversial with Novell)

[marlls1989]

never heard of bootcamp?

bios emulation in the mac firmware?

windows drivers in the leopard DVD?

The windows boot entry when you press alt at startup having a mbr bootloader?

[huxtiblejones]

I am currently on a Mac Pro in Windows XP right now. It works like a charm.

[marlls1989]

if they are such big competitors, I would love to have such a big competitor to my bussines...

Both play the game well, they cooperate and grow, and make a nice fairy-tale fight in ads so people keep arguing and buying the product they boldly defend.

[abaddon80120]

@cockyjeremy .. haha too true

[ColdTurkey440]

@cockyjeremy thats a dell....

[loquek]

@ColdTurkey440 nice trolling, you can even see the apple bit off the top of the sticker... if not the other 5 tell tell signs that any macbook owner can spot. check 0:13 ...

[ColdTurkey440]

yea because the keyboard is a mac book lol and the sides and its to silver

[randombutler]

Another (pretty obvious) thing that I like is the way the male lead turns away from the camera at the very end. Either he was pretty uncomfortable at that moment or the director is working on a whole 'nother level.

[theapplemac99]

lol that computer is a mac< lol

[blacky159]

2:49 microsoft makes coffee?

[randombutler]

Nice spot. Apparently they do...I'd bet that part was probably filmed in a Microsoft cafeteria. I'm also realizing that the big pitch was probably not filmed in a rented office area.

[randombutler]

I would give a huge bonus to everybody involved in making this advertisement. It's incredibly clever.

[PhaseFavor]

you have to be joking. i actually cant think of a better way to do it but thats because the product itself is laughable. its such a corny commercial.

[randombutler]

As many others have pointed out, the corniness is apparently intentional and actually very nuanced. The commercial was made in this way so that people would share it with each other, either because they liked the humor or simply took it as another example of "Microsoft being Microsoft." That's resulted in many, many people downloading Songsmith and certainly a few sales of the product. Would you rather they had just made a PowerPoint presentation detailing the specifics of the product?

[PhaseFavor]

Touche

[MrRoekkum]

Sorry, but you are stupid if you rate this below 5/5. The humour is brilliant!

[PollywaffleProducts]

This has to be the next rickroll

Its that bad

[Dyslexicon]

Oh dear Lord. How does Microsoft even exist anymore? It's a Mac, for crying out loud!

[EwakAmerica]

Whats with the MAC with the stickers all over it?

[rodrigocapelini2008]

Este vídeo é mais deprimente que as pegadinhas do João Kléber...

[poler303]

................ wtf is microsoft thinking

[ScottYancy]

sweet marketing campaign...is microsoft broke?

[dramsong]

theo tams should get this or be in this

[pancricket]

1:55 lololololol

[jeremiasvokurka]

you mean it ISN'T joke?

[musicmaster5000]

I thought it was a joke LOL...

[darmadTHEAUSMERICAS]

haha ryan ross mentioned this on his blog he thought it was joke. IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE A JOKE

[boornos]

useless toy

[Martian74]

Maybe if you were 4 or 5 years old it might be fun for a few seconds...

Poor young girl in this ad would have been paid out on in school when this came out on tv.

[DaveVidG]

those basterds, those focking basterd, they use a macbook pro with vista!!!!!!????!?!!!!!

[nphoria63]

Epic fail :D

[TheBrat1228]

It's a 17" MacBook Pro intel machine running Windoze Vi$ta in Parallels. More moronic stuff from Micro$oft.

[ghostshadow778]

I'm giving it 5 stars just for the priceless hilarity.

[moneyxbags123]

he came out the closet

[zelbah]

ROTFLOL!!!!

[h3z2m3]

This is one of the cheesiest ad I've ever seen!

[InfectusAnima]

Thank god Microsoft has nothing to do with the music industry, although with people like Lady Gaga around maybe they do at the moment.

"Well i used to open up the closet door and struggle in the dark" ... until he came out and told the world he was gay now everything seems much brighter

[seanlee83]

i know a macbook when i see one and that is one. oh my god microsoft are so cheesy whith this stupid ad, with stupid singing. if youre selling a microsoft product use a pc.

[Dustin872006]

is that laptop a Macbook pro with stickers all over it. It almost looks like you can see the apple logo but the sticker is over it..

[laughingperson5]

people dont really buy PC's because of how stupid Microsoft is

you can freakin see they are using macbooks

[supernicky1992]

hahah microsoft is using a macbook pro to do that :P that is so funny. They new the fan would do to much noice while running this program :P

[elenchus]

I don't know why everyone is hating on this. This is freaking brilliant. There's no way Microsoft could have made something this awful unintentionally--Microsoft's the recognized expert at terrible, but this, this is a treasure.

[13uggyg]

wha... I ... wow. this video...

[k2spitfire88]

i love how the girls laptop is a Macbook Pro.

[kingkral]

Wow! What a huge pile of shit. Microsoft sucks ass!

[alexrodriguez40]

Oh, My Lord!!

I can't believe how bad this is. And I actually thought that Microsoft was doing well with their ads after I saw Gates/Seinfeld commercials.

This bad, really bad!

[ILVRACN]

Microsoft is so gay

[eaglesfanone]

this commercial should die.....a horrible horrible death. i dont know how else to put my disgust in words.....because describing the devils flatulence is just impossible.

[MacDevil7334]

Dear Microsoft,

Barney called. They want their song back.

What a lame ad!

[nixonphreak]

That girls voice makes me want to kill myself.. why didn't they get actual singers, they gay guy didn't help either. Oh and th gay guy came out of the closet: 3:05-3:08

[nixonphreak]

That girls voice makes me want to kill myself.. why didn't they get actual singers, they gay guy didn't help either.

[RocksThatFloat]

Oh no! Somebody gave Microsoft another camera! RUUUUUUUNNNNNNN!

[syntrophy]

this is so bad.. its soooooo sooooooooooo bad

[nightw4tchman]

Apple has logic express and studio, used by Nine Inch Nails, Mindless self indulgence and so on.....

Microsoft has this.... oh dear..... the midi in guitar pro is better lol

[MSBusted]

Why is Microsoft using a Macbook Pro ?

I don't understand them anymore!

[abstrak214]

This is Rated S for Songtastic..... hahahhahahhah!!!!!

[choco6]

3:15 AHHAHAHA

[danieloria]

This is honestly one of the worst videos I've ever seen in my life.

And when I say one of the worst videos, I mean, one of the worst among my list of worst videos already populated by Microsoft's other horrendous advertisements.

Hell will probably freeze over before Microsoft manages to make a decent ad for anything.

I just wish they would focus on making an operating system that doesn't suck instead of wasting money on this crap.

[cammo789]

this shittiness made my day

[vinnyjc]

AHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA AHAH AHAHAHAHAHAh AAAAAHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Thanks to song smith I just shit myself..

[captsensible23]

the music is really bad. Sounds like karoke discs you buy from really cheap markets.

[juiceakafreez]

Hideous and Horrendous...

[c0rk007hck]

Fuck that microsoft, soo bad as this is.

Garageband is much better. (Adolf Ballmer)

[rikkiscrazy]

This is the greatest promotional video I have ever seen in my entire life.

[ctxppc]

you select from tens of instruments and you pay hunderd bucks for a crappy software. Apple's Garageband could even do more next year, Songsmith craps sound out with Vista. And what a crappy video!

[jakemangod27]

i swear to god that looks like a MacBook

[jzapert]

I think it's awesome, and cool technology! The video and terribly campy, which is why it's also hilarious and awesome.

[evocon]

this shit is awesome! 5 stars!

[Strate2]

just chill, people. this will not destroy real musicianism. it's just a motherfucking funny programme. i tested it, it's fun, for sure, and this video sucks, and that's why it's very funny.

[VanXantos]

Buy or use this software?

or..

Die a painful death consisting of being slowly starved to death whilst sitting in a tub of industrial grade sulphuric acid..

I go for the latter...

[mistahimaskwa]

Fail?

[zaubertom]

Fail!

[CobaltCowboy]

Oh dear god

[clearyxxx]

i actually feel physically sick after watching this

[tchocksoo]

I raged instantly ....

[takahimara]

omg what a hideous monstrosity this is!

we need a law against these kind of things (talking about both the product AND the video).

[Strate2]

das is völllig krank aber lustig, also 5 sterne!

[numsegum]

this is awful!! i hope theyre fucking kidding

[seriouslyboring]

OUR TOWELS ROCK

[introxas]

I hope they're fucking kidding.

[RogiiDruid]

2:57

LOLME

[donnychoonara]

Anyone involved in the development/programming & marketing of this should be thoroughly ashamed with themselves.

[GabrielC96]

it makes my ears blead !

[Mercenary03]

Microsoft hun? so it doesnt work?

Her singing makes my ears blead

[ABMKKMBA]

MacBook Pro ;)

[erinjade86]

I thought this was a parody, but I went to the site and it's real. They claim they were going for "over-the-top comic irony" but it just came out as lame.

Also, I'm a PC user, but I found the fact that they used a MacBook for the little girl's computer absolutely hilarious (they didn't even fully cover the Apple symbol with the sticker!). And how nice it looked compared to the waiter guy's PC. Microsoft... stop shooting yourself in the foot and advertising your competitor in your own ad.

[ozzyz91]

it's funny! the laptop it is a Macbook XD

this song is horrible!

[thekillerdick]

I dont think, kids are gonna like this! They install the program on their laptop, and then the father gonna steal the laptop xD

[dibble676t76]

So has the father spent a long time in the closet then...?

[blackarthur79]

That's what the glow in the dark towel must be for !

[blackarthur79]

That's why he needs a glow in the dark towel !

[boopteedo]

Huh, maybe this explains Axis of Awesome. (look it up)

[RicheyR19]

You need light to make the towels glow. They won't just glow any old time.

[RprzntnAA8230]

This is so wack.. Microsoft trying to do apple's thing, but failing hardly at it.. damn..

[Callefraskaane]

Holy crap.. See this and you'll shit brix! This is crazyass 80's like sweet mofo commercial.. Gonna puke!

[Kiddowesth]

I dont know what to say to this, this is supposed to be a serious ad ? This ad made me want to kill myself, nothing less .
