This is an actual promo video from Microsoft for a new product called “SongSmith.” I’m in awe.

The acting is terrible. The songs are annoying. And this is supposed to make me interested in this product? (I’ve also heard it mentioned that the laptop the daughter is using is actually a Mac, which isn’t supported by the product, but I’m not sure about that.

Edit: To be completely fair, I have to admit that this did have some effect. I’ve downloaded the app, and I’ll probably play around with it for a bit. So I guess I shouldn’t laugh too hard. But it’s still so bad it’s funny.
