I'm an amazing singer........ so long as I use auto-tune.

Have you ever noticed how overused auto-tune is?

And what pisses me off is the fact that bands/"artists" that use auto-tune, typically sell more records than bands/artists that can actually sing.

Now I may be the only one, but I would respect someone FAR more if they take the time to write lyrics and music, and then put in the effort to play the instrument, and then sing the song, and create an amazing piece of music, rather than hopping on a computer, making beats (often times just audio loops) that are already on a music program, and then use auto-tune to make their voices sound like a fucking robot.

Don't get me wrong, artists (rappers) who use auto-tune, do have to write lyrics (unless they do covers)
but at the same time... it's a lot easier to write songs about guns, and how much of a hardcore gangster you are, as opposed to writing lyrics about something meaningful.


And no, the part about the rappers was not meant to be stereotypical, although I am aware that it sounded so.
