I've been looking around YouTube and saw this. I swear, T-Pain can't sing, he uses AutoTune. Can make anything sound like it's singing, even a crying baby. Lol.

Anyways, here is a video that proves anything can be auto-tuned. Amazing. And here's T-Pain really singing. Watching that is like "... wow... really?"

His name is T-Pain, which is short for "Too-Painful" (to listen to).

T-pain is ok I think people say autotune is lame because it's gone mainstream before only a few artists used it no one had a problem as soon as it became populer people starting say it sucked. T-pain has a good voice without autotune.

/opinion.

T-Pain isn't the only one; Kanye West uses it too. Even when he was a rapper (which were certainly his better days).

He didn't use it at all on his first two albums (not too sure about his third).

I don't see why people would use autotune, why would you want to sound like a robot? <.<

It's better than sounding horrible... xD

And producers and whatever can change the settings to make you sound sort of normal/unnoticeable when you use it.

True, but it's odd that these people would even try to sing since they can't. Why not learn an instrument or something if they want to be in the music business?

You need to practice and stuff for a long time to play an instrument. Using autotune, you don't have to practice or anything, you can suck, and voila! Today's pop music!

I see nothing wrong with it. Just another way to divesify the world of music.

More and more people are using it, so it's really making it less diverse.
