Sometimes they come across bright, other times just annoying.. on the basic level. I have a feeling the Lyrics additional will not take off as expected unless they make one big change. a) it would be nice to be able to "copy" and "paste" lyrics, as of right now it's an image with text in it? why would you do this? b) more people search for lyrics to "copy" and "paste" them into emails, end of posts, quotes for articles, Karaoke, LD discs etc. think about it!
