T Pain Sing Without Auto Tune

Oct 31, 2014  Auto-Tune survives, but may now have been dealt a final blow by T-Pain, the artist who practically became the mascot for it. An NPR Tiny Desk concert. Oct 30, 2014 T-Pain used Auto-Tune because it made his voice sound crazy and metallic and produced an amazing effect, not because he couldn’t sing. Auto-Tune was created to be used by people who couldn’t quite.

The only song she used autotune on was. And that was for effect! Watch her Fallon performance.

Underrated and overhated by critics and fans. She can sing really well live (her solo X-factor audition got 4 yes-es). Even if she tries a bit too hard with the emotion and high notes, she's still a good singer.

Um she is amazing.. She is inspiring and she has amazing vocals. She doesn't need autotune.. - Jass1

Her voice isn't anything too amazing or groundbreaking with it or without it to be honest. Her annunciation is horrible, her high notes are shrill and annoying and she sounds (and looks) like a little girl. She's just a Mariah Carey wannabe anyway.

She can't sing with or without auto-tune, she's just a bad singer. Just listen to her covering Hero by Mariah Carey and you'll know.

Rihanna can't sing and auto-tune is her best friend. - DaWyteNight

Look...I love Riri and her pop music but she honestly could use some auto-tune from time to time. Have you heard her song 'Higher? ' Two words...no Bueno.
I don't know who added her, if they did it as a joke or were being serious but from someone who has heard her live I can tell you that she could use auto-tune. She makes amazing pop music though, all her albums are pop perfection.

Say what you want about her but the autotune actually sounds pretty good when it's used for effect. And even then she's definitely a better singer live than Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and Selena Gomez.
