I took a walk down to lyricsworld.com today to try and find out the lyrics to a song in which I do not know the artist nor do I even know more than 4 words of the song. These lyric sites have always been helpful but I usually go to another one regularly before I check this one out. Let’s talk about the site first and then I will provide you with the conclusion of my result. Was I disappointed? Hmm hmm hmm ... well let’s see!
The Mainpage
The mainpage is easy looking. It has 4 options, the logo, the title. Perfect! What else could you ask for? Everything is neat and ready for the user-friendly liking of a person.
You have the following options :
You will be able to type a phrase or a word to find your song. What I have noticed is that if you are too specific then the site will not match anything. It will simply go to a blank blue page in which you won’t be even able to tell if its searching or there wasn’t anything of the such.
I wish they would put something down like ’’Found No Matches’’ instead of teasing me and placing this blue screen up for me. What the heck does that blue thing mean!
When you finally do find a song, it will match you to some of the websites around the net that feature the lyrics for that song you are looking to match. Its not its own database; its like a Napster. It will load all the lyrics into a database and then tell you the links to those sub databases!
As well, you can take a look at the most popular searches on lyricsworld by simply clicking the link. So far, the real slim shady is the most popular. It isn’t just songs that they feature in their top 50, it also includes artists!
ie.
1) the real slim shady
2) dr dre
3) madonna
As well you can also submit your own site, a lyric site that is, or someone elses lyric sits. You can neatly deposit your site to the appropriate genre of music, whether it be a time span or a type.
Overall Thoughts
Well the layout of the site is pretty good, but searching for my song was horrific! I typed in ’’Baby you’re all that I want’’ hoping to find DJ Sammy and the song Heaven but was unlucky. The type of search engine that I want is one that tosses me results. It seems even with the neat features on the site, the accuracy component is a must and was not present. I will have to try others before this one, .... I suggest the same for you.
