Heh, ahem...(pushes up non-existent glasses)... Ackchyually I think you mean, a gecko dragon banana maid cyborg vampire general TOASTER? (picks toes and giggles)
The true American dream indeed. "What's up? It's your favorite dragon banana maid cyborg vampire bartender general and favorite TOASTER, Zenny Sins here."
I refuse to believe that this is vocaloid. The way the voice trails off notes and cracks and articulates feels SO real. The vibrato is astonishingly human too. Zen is trolling us with her real voice (I joke but if this is vocaloid then it has done a stellar job of sounding like a real human)
not saying one way or another, but you typically take a live performance and “wrap” a new voice around it, hammering out any kinks along the way, so the original tone and inflection or the human singer still comes through so the proest move would be for Zen to sing it IRL and then use that performance as the base
@@leavyFrom my understanding that's exactly what she does. I don't think people quite understand that Zen is actually singing on these covers. Yes it is filtered through her TTS voice, but she's not just speaking into a mic or typing it in wordpad.
@Obi-Wan_Kenobi62 General Kenobi! Yeah, if this is all 'tech', then it is uncanny how good it has got at emulating singing like a real person. While the vocal track shows signs of flattening by auto-tune, it also has flaws and very natural voice breaks in it. If this is all TTS/vocaloid it is a huge step forward.
It's really awe inspiring how much of an impact John Denver's Country Roads has had on music. Even if it's been memed to death, even if it's sung ironically or no, everyone that has ever heard it, KNOW how it's sung and will sing it on cue. And that's a positive, cuz nobody talks shit about John Denver. Also, very nice cover Zen :3
good music will always be remembered and it might be joked around about but when people take a simple step back to listen the classic is just sitting there to enjoy and be loved for generations to come and go
I've heard it was originally about a road in Massachusetts, but nowadays, on the internet, you can hear people from Japan, Africa, Europe, etc singing that the place that they belong is in West Virginia.
As a local of West Virginia, thank you. You've always been an inspiration to me Zen, and seeing you cover this very specific song, one that's rooted so deeply into my home, it's made my entire month. Keep being you ❤️
Someone described this as Zen's tts being layered over her natural voice and I agree, but I think we're getting more of her actual voice than the tts because there are some parts of this where we hear a distinctive southern twang and I love it because it really adds to the song. The original by John Denver is one of my comfort songs and this amplifies that by 10x. Thank you Zen for releasing this beautiful cover, keep being awesome and wonderful!
I have no idea how much of this came from a singer (i.e. Zentreya's natural voice) and how much from the Producer but the result is unexpected and amazing. Well done!
ZEN!!!!! TY TY TY TY!!!!! My whole apartment complex heard singing along this at the top of my lungs and i was so happy u covered this song i was crying the whole the way through!!!!! TY TY TY TY!!!!! Being a southern gal from the foothills of the Appalachians this song has a special meaning to us down here bc its a theme us mountain/foothill folks know.....those country roads!!!!!
Zentreya, you have done your vault proud. Vault 76 couldn't ask for a better more outstanding vault dweller than you my dear. That was a brilliant cover.
The use of TTS for these songs just keeps on getting better and more realistic! Looking forward to even more covers and original songs in the future :)
Not TTS, it's vocaloid, which is so much better than autotune. This is a special application where one can sing, take the original song clean up the cracks and background noise put that song into the vocaloid processor and adjust the song using a custom voice pack.
what can i say differently that all of usknow already. great song, and a great job on the cover. i love these types of videos you make once in a while zen keep up the great work with anything you do!
My family roots are planted in West Virginia so it lives in my blood. Both of my parents were born and raised there. It’s my second home and listening to you sing Country Roads brought a tear to my eye. Absolutely amazing Zen! ❤️🥹
John Denver would have loved the fact so many people across the world and cultures cover his music with there own interpretation and style. Thank you for continuing to bring life to his legacy
Simply Zen I loved it I even singed along hehe. You've come so far. I'm so glad you're still around. I've watched you since you were in VRChat. I loved when you came to Twitch so I will enjoy you and the rest of the girls.
Well done Zen! You've released another amazing cover and continue to impress with your range (from rock/metal to country - seriously fantastic work from you and your team on this and your other recent songs/MVs). 💯👍
Thanks, I have had this song stuck in my head for the last month, I hate it now that I have this version to listen to. this does sound amazing and I've been listening to it almost every day
That is really, really well done! I have heard many covers of this, and this one's up there. (And you'd be amazed how many times I've heard someone mangle the word "Shenandoah" too.)
You would think that a robot/AI style voiced Vtuber wouldn't make for a good singing voice, but this is very soothing. The pitch shift gives it a bit of a vocaloid or glados sound and its seemingly mixed or shifted with a real voice. Very unique.
The vocal programming on this is crazy good! Genuinely had to wonder if it was a human performance for a moment. Kudos to your team, both on the vocal and instrumental production
❤🎉Zentreya sounds like a genuine badass cowgirl who's spent her nights at the campfire singing so beautifully! The control and expression here is incredible Zentreya! Very well done!
Hearing a gecko dragon banana maid cyborg vampire general singing is the true AMERICAN DREAM
Heh, ahem...(pushes up non-existent glasses)... Ackchyually I think you mean, a gecko dragon banana maid cyborg vampire general TOASTER? (picks toes and giggles)
Facts.
The true American dream indeed.
"What's up? It's your favorite dragon banana maid cyborg vampire bartender general and favorite TOASTER, Zenny Sins here."
What kinda wierd dream that you having, sir...?
you forgot Toaster.
Plot twist, this is zen's real voice and not her TTS voice pitched and edited like Neuro-sama XD
The thing is we would never know. But that would somehow be the biggest power move.
I thought it was her real voice it sounded so real. Technology is scaring me now
Could be her voice just altered. its a great voice. Husky, bit raspy. Very dragon like. :D
honestly i want to believe it cause it sounds so, Damn, Real!
It amazing me how they can edit tts lile this i thogght it was her real voice for a sec.
I refuse to believe that this is vocaloid. The way the voice trails off notes and cracks and articulates feels SO real. The vibrato is astonishingly human too. Zen is trolling us with her real voice (I joke but if this is vocaloid then it has done a stellar job of sounding like a real human)
I wholeheartedly agree. I don't know what editing went into this, but this can't be from a TTS system.
not saying one way or another, but you typically take a live performance and “wrap” a new voice around it, hammering out any kinks along the way, so the original tone and inflection or the human singer still comes through
so the proest move would be for Zen to sing it IRL and then use that performance as the base

I’ve seen AI do equally impressive things, it’s not impossible if given enough good clean audio
@Obi-Wan_Kenobi62 General Kenobi! Yeah, if this is all 'tech', then it is uncanny how good it has got at emulating singing like a real person. While the vocal track shows signs of flattening by auto-tune, it also has flaws and very natural voice breaks in it. If this is all TTS/vocaloid it is a huge step forward.
Zen not letting TTS get in her way of singing is one of my favorite things in vtubing.

Nah she 100% sang it and then ran a voice AI over it, I won't accept otherwise
it reaaaally is well done tbh
Mr. "Sunshine on my goddamned shoulders" John Denver
Zentreya the perfect texas girl. With a cowgirl hat, gun in one hand and a taco in the other
Meet the Engineer
I clicked the video out of curiosity and didn't expect to feel so emotional. Hearing her real voice is like seeing a rainbow for the first time.
It's not her real voice. But I can see why you thought that
As a local of West Virginia, thank you. You've always been an inspiration to me Zen, and seeing you cover this very specific song, one that's rooted so deeply into my home, it's made my entire month. Keep being you ❤️
As a fellow West Virginian, same.
As a fellow Westi Virginan I can agree. This was done perfectly and I couldn't help but sing along and feel a bit emotional as well.
Chat:(have bag of tools) time to tease zen again
Zentreya:(sings)
Chat:(crying) this is better. ENCORE (plays loop)
Someone described this as Zen's tts being layered over her natural voice and I agree, but I think we're getting more of her actual voice than the tts because there are some parts of this where we hear a distinctive southern twang and I love it because it really adds to the song.

This whole thing fits so well and makes sense, Zen should be a farmer the way she has managed to grow melons that big.
Mountain Mama indeed
zen is my fav vocaloid now
This gives me nostalgia for a place I never grew up in thank you Zen ❤
I have no idea how much of this came from a singer (i.e. Zentreya's natural voice) and how much from the Producer but the result is unexpected and amazing. Well done!
Love hearing zen singing and such a cute video❤
This is actually insanity at how good this cover is. Much love, Zen ❤
This paired with American Truck Simulator has to be a vibe. Great Job Zen!
I got a truck and live on a country road only difference from the song is I live in Idaho
很遺憾美國卡車模擬器還沒有西弗吉尼亞州，但我會期待它的到來
"Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter" just to hear this banger of a song
This was a beautiful cover Zentrea. Makes me nostalgic for the classics and you sang it so well.
Happy Valentine's Day, *Zentreya.* ❤
I hope every day is special for you, because you are special to me.
I love hearing my British sounding lizard from texas singing country music
ZEN!!!!! TY TY TY TY!!!!! My whole apartment complex heard singing along this at the top of my lungs and i was so happy u covered this song i was crying the whole the way through!!!!! TY TY TY TY!!!!! Being a southern gal from the foothills of the Appalachians this song has a special meaning to us down here bc its a theme us mountain/foothill folks know.....those country roads!!!!!
A Vocaloid with a southren accent/twang. Ive officially seen it all. Well done Zen
Such a wonderful music video, this is amazing thank you so much Zen !❤
One of the best covers of this song! Even though your voice is changed you still sound very beautiful
Hope this is a sign of things to come. would love more songs like this from you.
This is the best cover so far!
Our Zenaloid! ❤️
This is absolutely wonderful and the art is great! Nice and chill to listen too.
I'm from West Virginia and this made me tear up, thank you Zen
Zentreya, you have done your vault proud. Vault 76 couldn't ask for a better more outstanding vault dweller than you my dear. That was a brilliant cover.
The use of TTS for these songs just keeps on getting better and more realistic! Looking forward to even more covers and original songs in the future :)
doesn't even sound like TTS or synthetic voice. I would not be surprised if this was actually zen singing IRL with a good bit of producing
Not TTS, it's vocaloid, which is so much better than autotune. This is a special application where one can sing, take the original song clean up the cracks and background noise put that song into the vocaloid processor and adjust the song using a custom voice pack.
Hearing you sing makes me so happy I tear up everytime! You rock Zen!
OMG!!! This song matched Zentreya's voice TOO MUCH! And it's not possible that this is her TTS voice! Zen is using her true voice, that's it!
By far my favorite of Zen's cover songs. It's so good. It feels like there's so much emotion in it. Just adore it. Zen is the best ❤
I have to say this truely feels like a singing voice extention of your tts voice! Amazingly well done!
Zen finally showing off her natural Texan accent
what can i say differently that all of usknow already. great song, and a great job on the cover. i love these types of videos you make once in a while zen keep up the great work with anything you do!
My family roots are planted in West Virginia so it lives in my blood. Both of my parents were born and raised there. It’s my second home and listening to you sing Country Roads brought a tear to my eye. Absolutely amazing Zen! ❤️🥹
IVE HAD THIS ON REPEAT SINCE IT RELEASED, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
John Denver would have loved the fact so many people across the world and cultures cover his music with there own interpretation and style. Thank you for continuing to bring life to his legacy
Can see all the hard work done on the song. it's amazing Love it Great job Zentreya ♥
Another great cover Zen and I look forward to what you do next!
Zen absolutely spoiling us with a true Texas cover.
Simply Zen I loved it I even singed along hehe. You've come so far. I'm so glad you're still around. I've watched you since you were in VRChat. I loved when you came to Twitch so I will enjoy you and the rest of the girls.
Great job on the cover Zen you did amazing! There were times where I forgot the TTS is singing. You guys are getting so good.
Fuck, i never tought i would tear up to a TTS singing Take me Home, Country Roads. Whoever edited this, you deserve an award...
1:07 funny how you can hear someone take a breath before singing
God, they've gotten so good at this that I would've never guessed this was TTS without having the prior knowledge
Love this song. Great cover Zen! Hope to see more music from you
Here at 11,880 views. One of my favourite V-tubers covering one of the songs I like a lot. I love it!
Love this cover, good work Zen, ThunderScott, riguruma and TacToki!
I didn't expect this song cover but not that surprised you would choose this one. TTS came out nice, well done.
That was beautiful. Thank you for doing a wonderful rendition of one of my favorite songs.
My Oshi melting my heart with another lovely cover. Fantastic as always Zen!
As someone born and raised in West Virginia I can't begin ti explain how emotional this made me feel. It brought antear to my eye so well done
Zentreya: Country Music Icon??
Holy, that was actually good to hear you sing that, well done Zen!

It's rly amazing Zen! Thank you for this moment of peace 🤗 You have a beautiful voice, I'll be glad to hear it on streams! ☺☺☺
This! This right here is simply BEAUTIFUL 😢
Well done Zen! You've released another amazing cover and continue to impress with your range (from rock/metal to country - seriously fantastic work from you and your team on this and your other recent songs/MVs). 💯👍
Thanks, I have had this song stuck in my head for the last month, I hate it now that I have this version to listen to. this does sound amazing and I've been listening to it almost every day
Zen really have great taste in music this is legist one of my fav songs in general keep it up Zentreya
That is really, really well done! I have heard many covers of this, and this one's up there. (And you'd be amazed how many times I've heard someone mangle the word "Shenandoah" too.)
This is obvs Zens real voice and god damn it is beautiful.
Wow. That's amazing. This is so well done. Nice job, Zentreya. Great song, and great video. Everything was great. ❤❤❤❤
This is amazing you have an amazing voice and I can't wait to hear you sing more songs
Easily the greatest cover of this song I've heard!
Proves that Country is great
If I didn’t know better, Zen sounds like a country legend singing this classic rendition. I love it! Bravo Zen!
This cover was simply perfect. Glad you're diving into music more now.
Zentreya, thank you, I needed this, it's been a bit stressful lately for me. I'm gonna definitely listen to this for a while to calm me down. 🙏
Was not expecting this but I love it! ❤ The voice sounds excellent and even has some country twang!
didn't know i need this
so beautiful❤❤
I love this, it's very calm and relaxing to listen to
Country gnomes
Take my bones...
Should watcht gnomes bones by spectrumx
To a place they don't belong...
I am sooooo happy, that was wonderful. You made me cry!
You have such an amazing, beautiful, and spectacular singing voice Zen‼️‼️‼️👏👏👏
Definitely one for the roadtrip tracks, you knocked it right outta the park with this one, Zen! Yee-fuckin'-haw! 🤘
I didn’t think I would like it, but its really well made. Thank you Zen
This is such a pretty cover. Good job zen!
This was beautiful Zen, you did John Denver proud! Real voice or not, this is what I’m going to imagine Zen sounds like irl from now on!
Thank you, thank you. I needed to hear that.❤️
Thanks for this beautiful cover Zen!
This was a beautiful cover zen❤❤❤
I've had goosebumps ever since I first heard this song from you. I'm also always a lurker in your streams. 🥰🥰🥰
It's really beautiful Zen, I love it! Amazing what you can do with autotune and vocaloid technology today.
You would think that a robot/AI style voiced Vtuber wouldn't make for a good singing voice, but this is very soothing. The pitch shift gives it a bit of a vocaloid or glados sound and its seemingly mixed or shifted with a real voice. Very unique.
This is normally just a meme song, but for some reason with Zen's voice, it's so comforting 🥹
Could listen to this all day. Such a great cover
Always improving, amazing job Zen
Wow Zen and her team do a amazing job sounds so good
Amazing job Zen keep it up
The vocal programming on this is crazy good! Genuinely had to wonder if it was a human performance for a moment. Kudos to your team, both on the vocal and instrumental production
This is so good I love it
The harmonies are amazing ❤❤❤
Greetings from EU. New "Drive" Song added. Love you Gecko Toaster.
This sounds awesome! Great job Zen!
Great singing Zen! Amazing cover!!
2025
I came back to this channel to listen to this song, this song really amazed me, your voice is really good 😊
❤🎉Zentreya sounds like a genuine badass cowgirl who's spent her nights at the campfire singing so beautifully! The control and expression here is incredible Zentreya! Very well done!
This actually sounds like her real voice! This is one of my favorite covers of this song.
