I'm thinking of something like vocaloid:"Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer application software developed by the Yamaha Corporation that enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody"
i would like to hear "i don't wanna go to school" by kc and his brother covered by an epic cacophonic trio made of Michael Bolton , Joe Cocker and Tina Turner. so, them.

as far as i know it have not been tried with the voices of big stars like michael jackson and elvis, i wonder why.i imagine if 50,000,000 Elvis Fans would come up with sub-par songs with the voice of their idol it would feel like a natural extension of his catalog.
prince would be a good choice too. would be nice to make him sing funny/sexy/dirty songs again.

mike patton could have some fun with this tech via "Adult Themes for Voice"-style vocal noises experimentation.

Bjork did this, albeit with Robert Wyatt's voice. I want Colin Blunstone, myself, he's got a huge range and perfect tone.

i don't understand the tech, but i'm assuming they'd need the subject to be alive, to record whatever bespoke notes/sounds the technology would need? but if not...

There were a couple of vocaloid type things which were based on actual people, I think Miriam Stockley was one.
I remember reading about that flame speaking synth thing a while ago, i have no idea if it ever came out, don't know anyonwe who has one 7 have never read any user reviews, etc.
Shirley Collins, Diamanda Galas, Peter Hammill would be my picks, anyway Shirley especially.
If you could produce voice banks from recordings from the past of ppl no longer alive, Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, Pola Negri, Corinne Griffith, Alice Faye would all be awesome. Ruby would only need about a 5 note keyboard to program!
