RussTCB Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Found a story about a Briney Spears leak without auto-tune. It's as bad as you might think.Here's the finished version of the song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTITmXu3yMs#tAnd here's the same song without auto-tune:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhrS82KEBcw#t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Kinda hilarious. Chart pop music fucking sucks anyway though, even if she was able to sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsaken Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 In her defense, this song was probably made for autotune so the way she sang does indeed sound half assed. She hasn't always sounded this way, I remember the days before autotune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hasn't always sounded this way, I remember the days before autotune. It's in style now. Just have to wait it out like they did with disco.

Georgy Zhukov Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 What is the appeal of autotune? It is well hated yet if most of the chart topping pop songs have autotune, why are people listening to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) What is the appeal of autotune? It is well hated yet if most of the chart topping pop songs have autotune, why are people listening to them?Auto-tune isn't hated by the people that auto-tuned songs are made for/marketed to. I don't abhor autotune in and of itself. It can be fun and add an interesting element to a song. I've always thought Kanye uses it well. It's just annoying when people pretend not to use it. 90% of the time when people complain about a song having autotune, they weren't going to like the song regardless.Now I do have an aversion to autotune in rock music, like the robot sort of autotune. Just sounds bad. I don't see a problem with autotune to clean up some vox however and make recording go a bit faster.

The Black Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you can clearly hear the autotune in the supposed "auto-tuneless" version. They made it sound bad. You can hear it clearly at 0:52 at "but the stars in the sky look like home", you can hear her vocals jump from keys.

Val22 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I've seen Britney Spears a few times and I think most of her singing is auto tuned, but she does perform one song that you can tell she's singing and she sounds pretty good.But doesn't Beyoncé do this too? Most of the pop people's stage shows outshine their singing anyway.Lady GaGa is one performer who does her own singing. You can tell. She doesn't always sound perfect, but she's good.

She doesn't always sound perfect, but she's good.Elton would take her godmother status away, and I think Axl also feels that he could never let Elton down either- I guess no one wants to let Elton down *L*. He could just as easily have had Caram punch things in to make his voice sound flawless. So what if Axl had tapes like this come out? He didn't do all the songs live in one take either. We already know she isn't a great singer, but there is a laziness to letting producers fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Gaga has gone to complete shit. She's more focused on promoting her oh so eccentric image and her music is suffering as a result. Comparably normal Gaga made decent pop music. Crazy Gaga makes shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gunns Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Gaga was shit the second she released her first song. Little do people realize, but it wasn't until the multitracks of hers were released publicly, that it was found out a lot of the instrumentation in one of her early songs, were instruments/samples used straight from Apple's Garageband.
