Hey it got 4 out of 5 correct for me, and I know many others who have the same good experience :) Would be interested in what results others are getting?

My Review of Midomi Posted on January 29th and has 3 comments Filed Under: personal Midomi is an online service that lets you hum or sing a song into your computer microphone and it will supposedly recognize the song and tell you the title, artist, blah, blah, blah. Cool, right? So I tried it out and sang a few bars to "You are not alone" by the genius that is R. Kelly. It guessed that I was singing "Oh Come, All Ye Faithful". Ok. It's a new service, let me try a more reconizable song. I sang "SexyBack" by JT and Midomi thought I was singing "The Farmer In The Dell". Wow. I understand that I am not exactly Andrea Bocceli. I understand that I am not even on the level with people who are "going to Hollywood, dawg" on American Idol, but I can hum a song. At this point I thought that maybe this service is so new that my songs are not in the database. Since it thought my last attempt was "The Farmer In The Dell", I tried actually singing singing "The Farmer In The Dell". It said I was singing "As Long As You Love Me" by the Backstreet Boys. I hate you midomi. I would love to hear your results from using this service. Please post them in the comments. Postscript: My wife (who apparently thought I was recording a music video or some sort) informed me that I was lame and needed a better song. She also said, "that's terrible". 3 comments ( Comments are open ) Well take a look at what I found on the web.
