I copied and pasted this from a forum on Church Media for your information.
“Our quest to pick a worship application continues; last night we played with several demos for over 3 hours and narrowed it down to four: EW, MS, Song Screen Liquid, and SSP (other demos were reviewed BTW).
Following are my thoughts/concerns and just let me say I have no bias of these four (yet). I’m still testing them all and their features. Feedback to clear-up any misconceptions or inaccuracies is appreciated. Also, I hope others in my situation benefit from this thread. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, these are opinions and I hope no one is compelled to “defend” their own brand of choice. This won’t help me…to each their own, as this is definitely a personal choice decision (and not an easy one).
Easy Worship - Basically we’re confident with this product. Wonderful interface, very intuitive, easy to navigate, logical screen layout (for us), and to tell you the truth their web site is helping to sell us; they offer a download of the user manual (very nice). In short, we liked what we saw and now are looking for the others to “beat” what EW has to offer. One concern…can this product do text over video? 
YES IT CAN DO TEXT OVER VIDEO. SOME OF THE FREE BACKGROUNDS ARE VIDEO CLIPS WHICH CAN BE USED RIGHT ALONG WITH THE STATIC BACKGROUNDS
Media Shout - Another great interface, a little more cumbersome and harder to figure out, but we really like how each slide is displayed graphically. In all fairness, this was the last program we installed and all agreed to spend more time with testing it. The brief video tutorials were helpful, but I wish I had a copy of the users manual. One thing that made us scratch our heads is why on earth did they decide to name controls buttons as “Boxer”, “Philo”, “Coach”, etc.. We found this just plain dumb. Other than this minor detail, this application is another strong consideration.
Song Screen Liquid - Unfortunately, this program seemed buggy. It lagged and clocked at times and we also had to restart it a couple of times. Very disappointed!
From what I saw it looked promising. It also seemed this program was designed for multiple monitors. Not a negative though, because I’m a fan of having production and development views in front of me at all times. Other bummer for me, is I can’t seem to find allot of information from current users of this program. I plan to submit a thread on this product later. Again, not enough time was spent to test this one, but we are in no hurry to purchase anything. We will use PowerPoint until we find the right product for us.
Song Show Plus - Absolutely ridiculous demo! The install was frustrating and we had to download certain segments from the Internet. All other companies had a quick, no nonsense installs. Be that as it may, this programs seems to offer more. I for one liked the multiple display panels (since I work with Photoshop and Flash), Especially the display properties panel! But all of us agreed the toolbar icons could be more obvious. By that I mean it doesn’t seem clear what a button is for unless you do a mouse hover-over. I imagine this wouldn’t be a big deal once you become familiar with the program. Also, I like the “Slide Show Builder”. Another main concern for me is I want to wait and see what the new release will have to offer. Im my experience, just because a new version is available doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good one. I hope a new demo is available soon. This one seems simple to use yet offers more customization should one want to spend additional time to fancy things up. 
Well, so far that’s all I have. More testing time is needed in my mind before making a decision. Some seemed ready to purchase EW because of how fast we figured it out. But I’m wondering what limitations this program has compared to the others.
EASYWORSHIP HAS AN UNCONDITIONAL SATISFACTION GUARANTEE FOR 90 DAYS.
“All orders come with an unconditional 90 day money back guarantee. If you are unhappy for any reason, return the product for a full refund.”
Below are some features we agreed we what. If any one of “our four picks” lack these features please let me know.
*Text over video
*Editable SCRIPTURE text
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO EDIT A BIBLE?
*Ability to import scripture from various file formats (.doc, .txt, and so forth)
EW - YOU BUY ADDITIONAL BIBLES BEYOND THE FREE ONES AT $29 EACH. OF COURSE YOU COULD IMPORT SCRIPTURE TEXT INTO THE SONG EDITOR IF YOU HAVE THE TEXT.
*Additional video and audio feeds (such as a video camera feed for live panning)
*Text animations (like color changes as words are sung, and also have a lyric line disappear after those words are sung)
(CAN BE DISTRACTING IF TOO MUCH MOTION)
*Manual on-the-fly fade to black with speed adjustment
EW DOES THIS BY CLICKING THE ‘BLACK’ BUTTON. or YOU CAN SIMPLY CLEAR THE TEXT BY PRESSING THE ‘CLEAR’ BUTTON.
*Drag and drop functionality (to add video, pictures, etc.)
