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!!!!!
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.
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
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! ❤️🥹
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!
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.
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.
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.)
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
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.
I'm inclined to believe this is IRL Zen... there's a limit to what you can do with software and this SOUNDS like it doesn't have that awkward pitch tuning you hear in AI renderings, or the autonomous harmonies.
❤🎉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.
Zen not letting TTS get in her way of singing is one of my favorite things in vtubing.
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

I’ve seen AI do equally impressive things, it’s not impossible if given enough good clean audio

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.
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

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
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
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.

zen is my fav vocaloid now
This gives me nostalgia for a place I never grew up in thank you Zen ❤
Chat:(have bag of tools) time to tease zen again
Zentreya:(sings)
Chat:(crying) this is better. ENCORE (plays loop)
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!
This is actually insanity at how good this cover is. Much love, Zen ❤
Love hearing zen singing and such a cute video❤
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
Happy Valentine's Day, *Zentreya.* ❤
I hope every day is special for you, because you are special to me.
"Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter" just to hear this banger of a song
This is the best cover so far!
Our Zenaloid! ❤️
Such a wonderful music video, this is amazing thank you so much Zen !❤
This was a beautiful cover Zentrea. Makes me nostalgic for the classics and you sang it so well.
I love hearing my British sounding lizard from texas singing country music
A Vocaloid with a southren accent/twang. Ive officially seen it all. Well done Zen
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!!!!!
Hope this is a sign of things to come. would love more songs like this from you.
I'm from West Virginia and this made me tear up, thank you Zen
John Denver would be proud of Zentreya
One of the best covers of this song! Even though your voice is changed you still sound very beautiful
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!
Zen finally showing off her natural Texan accent
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.
This is absolutely wonderful and the art is great! Nice and chill to listen too.
Hearing you sing makes me so happy I tear up everytime! You rock Zen!
Can see all the hard work done on the song. it's amazing Love it Great job Zentreya ♥
God, they've gotten so good at this that I would've never guessed this was TTS without having the prior knowledge
why is that horse looking at me like that...
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
Zentreya: Country Music Icon??
Here at 11,880 views. One of my favourite V-tubers covering one of the songs I like a lot. I love it!
Zen absolutely spoiling us with a true Texas cover.
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! ❤️🥹
I have to say this truely feels like a singing voice extention of your tts voice! Amazingly well done!
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!
This! This right here is simply BEAUTIFUL 😢
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.
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! ☺☺☺

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 ❤
Definitely one for the roadtrip tracks, you knocked it right outta the park with this one, Zen! Yee-fuckin'-haw! 🤘
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.)
IVE HAD THIS ON REPEAT SINCE IT RELEASED, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Love this song. Great cover Zen! Hope to see more music from you
I didn't expect this song cover but not that surprised you would choose this one. TTS came out nice, well done.
If I didn’t know better, Zen sounds like a country legend singing this classic rendition. I love it! Bravo Zen!
My Oshi melting my heart with another lovely cover. Fantastic as always Zen!
Easily the greatest cover of this song I've heard!
Proves that Country is great
didn't know i need this
so beautiful❤❤
You have such an amazing, beautiful, and spectacular singing voice Zen‼️‼️‼️👏👏👏
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). 💯👍
Wow. That's amazing. This is so well done. Nice job, Zentreya. Great song, and great video. Everything was great. ❤❤❤❤
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
Holy, that was actually good to hear you sing that, well done Zen!
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.
This cover was simply perfect. Glad you're diving into music more now.
love when zen does covers!
I didn't expect a TTS voice to be so melodious.
That was beautiful. Thank you for doing a wonderful rendition of one of my favorite songs.
I was expecting a cyborg voice, but I never thought I ended up swallowing my heart and tears
This is amazing you have an amazing voice and I can't wait to hear you sing more songs
Was not expecting this but I love it! ❤ The voice sounds excellent and even has some country twang!
Country gnomes
Take my bones...
Should watcht gnomes bones by spectrumx
To a place they don't belong...
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. 🙏
This was a beautiful cover zen❤❤❤
Amazing job Zen keep it up
I've had goosebumps ever since I first heard this song from you. I'm also always a lurker in your streams. 🥰🥰🥰
Always improving, amazing job Zen
I'm sorry, she was afraid people would hate her voice??? LIKE WHAT SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE WHAT THE HELL
Thank you, thank you. I needed to hear that.❤️
Greetings from EU. New "Drive" Song added. Love you Gecko Toaster.
This is normally just a meme song, but for some reason with Zen's voice, it's so comforting 🥹
I didn’t think I would like it, but its really well made. Thank you Zen
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
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 actually sounds like her real voice! This is one of my favorite covers of this song.
It's really beautiful Zen, I love it! Amazing what you can do with autotune and vocaloid technology today.
I'm inclined to believe this is IRL Zen... there's a limit to what you can do with software and this SOUNDS like it doesn't have that awkward pitch tuning you hear in AI renderings, or the autonomous harmonies.
I am sooooo happy, that was wonderful. You made me cry!
Thanks for this beautiful cover 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!
She ain't good. She ain't bad. And Zen damn sure ain't ugly.
welp. Zen is now a vocaloid.
❤🎉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!
Lovely thanks, Zen brings back good memories good vibes ❤❤❤
This sounds awesome! Great job Zen!
