By this point I've heard enough vocal synths that this isn't new to me.
As far as I'm concerned, if Doug can make out the lyrics -- or even just most of them -- it doesn't matter if it's a computer or Bob Dylan at his most mushmouthed. It's not who or what's singing them, it's that they can be heard.
And on instrument-vs-singer, if it's singing, it's a singer. And if all that're making up the orchestration are "voices", natural or not, then it's "a capella" as far as his gift is concerned.
And might I say, that transcription of "Over The Rainbow" sounds like it was done by someone who doesn't know a word of English...
