VEVO: Oh, That’s What They’re Saying

VEVO Music Videos with Lyrics

"But When One Little Cross Leads to Shots Grit Your Teeth"

The Fixx, One Thing Leads to another - "But When One Little Cross Leads to Shots Grit Your Teeth"

http://www.vevo.com/watch/the-fixx/one-thing-leads-to-another/USMCV0400035?l=1

Well, a year or so into it, VEVO does have SOME music videos available with Lyrics. I found 2 out of their best of 2010 playlist with lyrics -  Justin Beiber w Lyrics , Lady Gaga Telephone (Explicit) with Lyrics.

Others: The Fixx: One thing leads to Another

Lady Gaga: Bad Romance and many other LG: Look for the word Lyrics

Marilyn Manson : Obscene and others with Lyrics

Black Eyed Peas : Pump It and others

It looks like the only way to find videos with lyrics is to look on the artist page, and look for the lyrics box.

If you’re on Twitter, you can let @VEVO know you’d like more Lyrics, and a search by lyrics available.

    Well it’s a start, I hope that more are added. You already know I’m a fan of subtitled/captioned music :) Everyone could do with help getting the lyrics right.

    Bill,

    This is useful info. Thanks. Is the list comprehensive or just what you found from browsing?

      Just from browsing- there’s no good way to search for music with lyrics.

    Thank you so much!
    My wife has difficultly hearing, she got a Cochlear implant a few years ago and has been trying to listen to more music. It helps her and she enjoys it so much more when there are lyrics with the music. I have done a lot of searches on various video sites but I had not seen this feature on Vevo until you pointed it out.
    I agree that the search feature should be more refined but still this is very encouraging. I found captioned videos by Ben Folds as well as Oingo Boingo which was a surprise. :)
    I follow your blog on and off. You are an amazing source of information.
    Thanks again

    I don’t know if this is new since your last visit to Vevo, but they have a channel named “Whatcha Say?” http://www.vevo.com/channel/whatcha-say/97
    I only noticed this after searching the FAQs.
    It lists all the videos that currently have captions (2610 of them so far). I wish the list was searchable as a subset, but it can be sorted by most viewed, most liked and recently added. It is definitely a move in the right direction.
    I have put together a playlist for my wife of things that I like and she might like. :)
