But the song ended up being licensed a couple of times so we felt better about it. So back to my point I haven't yet heard any synth vocals in this style ... again not saying it can't be done just curious.

Yeah, a song is worth a thousand words
It would be tedious work to incorporate all those little bends, but this type of bending is certainly doable.

But, it certainly wouldn't be as good as Janice's voice, as all the cute little voice breaks (doable with some of the synth-voices) and a certain roughness (not doable right now) add a lot of life and character to the performance.

Right now (at least) the Synth V voices are too clean to have that.

By the way, this forum member was wrong of course, her vocal dancing is great!
