I hope Google delists them so they go fuck themselves.

azlyrics is SO MUCH better. I'd rather see them at the top instead of Genius.

For pure lyrics viewing azlyrics might be better (I don't think so), but Genius is so much more than just raw lyrics. I love the comments / interpretations by other users.

Agreed, azlyrics has the cleanest site and most accurate lyrics. I’m baffled by their low ranking—why aren’t they always the first hit?

Agree that azlyrics is the best one for reading lyrics while listening the song.

Then they would likely get a pretty clear anti competitive lawsuit on them.
