I.  Cellists need to breathe too.  If their music doesn't breath, it's 
not music... A computer can play these without breathing.  It's the 
humanity, the "alive-ness" that makes the music.

That's exactly what I say about synthesized  music over "live" music.

Knowing that most things in commercials are done for a purpose, I still 
dislike the ones where the pauses are cut, leaving a continuous voice. 
Very unnatural and distracting from the message. The same for 
unnaturally long  musical passages without phrasing.

"phrases" get more frequent!)
