It was fun when Cher did it, twenty three years ago.
Now it just serves to enable people who can't sing to save their lives (but look good while doing it).
Feels a bit reductive, even if you’re a bad singer the use of auto tune alone shouldn’t discount you as a musician. These days it should be looked at like just another instrument. Some artists that would otherwise sound poor a cappella might use a guitar to accompany their voice. What’s the difference?
Autotune.
most ridiculous thing in the music industry ever. there's just NO proper use case for autotune.
so much so, there's only one song that I think utilized autotune in a somewhat OK way, and it's a flippin' track from Sims 2's Pop radio station
Lonely Island's I'm on a Boat gets a pass too.
