I dont know if its proper termnology but what i mean is taking away the beat in the background only leaving the words. Is that possible or not?

It's called acapella and no there isn't a software that can do it. You can play with the equalizer and kill the bass and increase the highs...

But there isn't a software out there that does it perfect.

You can always purchase acapellas.

There are a couple of software solutions around, I seem to recall a plugin for Winamp that would do it with varying degrees of success.

Sometimes you can do it if you can find an instrumental version of the song that you want an acapella of. If you play them both at the same time, with the instrumental in opposite phase, the instrumental content will hopefully cancel itself out, leaving just the vocals. Very difficult and impractical to do live, but not to hard to set up in something like Soundforge.... Again, it's not perfect, there's always a hint of the music in there, but it's often good enough if you were only going to throw the resulting acapella over a music track anyway...

still wouldnt be perfect

No it wouldn't be perfect as there is no software available for this. Whenever a vocal is played over a track, it is recorded seperately from the instrumental. Thus you have a acapella edit and an instrumental edit of the song. The only thing to do is purchase the acapella version.
