Chris Brown But it *is* the point. When you say "autotune", everyone thinks you're trying to become the next Milli Vanilli. But it's just a tool. It can be used for artistic purposes as well.
Not Autotune, but artists like Daft punk incorporate the use of 'talk box' to create that 'bending' of the pitch and thus a digital sound. Like you said, they use it as an effect which I think works beautifully with their trademark robotic sound. I think it ultimately comes down to the reason of using Autotune - to create a unique sound? Or to veil and hide behind the imperfections of one's voice?
Yeah, true. It's like using black paint, or just any paint with dark pigment, for a picture. A little goes a long way. And using too much can ruin a product.
That is *exactly* the point the video makes: Many pop artists are actually only "ok" singers, but auto-tune makes them sound like they are these amazing heroes that we can never measure up to. They're not actually that great.
Tanya, you actually sounded better without the auto-tune. Your problem isn't "staying in tune", but rather, lack of abdominal muscle support. The key to singing in-tune, with rich timbre and good control over your tone is to keep your abdominal muscles under moderate tension while singing. This increases pressure on the the diaphragm, thus increasing both voice power and controllablity. Otherwise, it's like you're trying to drive a car on a freeway in first gear.
@@Super122891 so do you actually think a professional engineer is too dumb to find a key to a song? While her voice with a little bit of Autotune sounded good with full autotune it sounded garbage. Maybe they did it to prove a point or sum
@@lilwoodiewood3457 no offence but if you want to promote your content, you should be a little bit, yk, politer? i don't think anybody would want to listen to someone who is just swearing at them
Autotune isn't just something anyone can use. It's like an instrument and it's not used cause of lack of talent it's used cause of the electronic sound it makes and sounds cool and when used right in it's own way beautiful Artists that use it most of the time if not almost all the time use it for its sound and the mood it creates
It was meant to show how pixelated it can be I think. The first change was just enough to fix her flatness a tiny bit and the last bit was to show what would happen if it was used a whole bunch.
The problem with Autotune is a continuation of what music videos did to music. It helps prioritize "the look" over talent. Record companies want a certain image for their pop stars, so they'll take a mediocre singer with the right looks and Autotune him or her. Meanwhile, truly talented singers who don't fit the currently popular image are putting out great stuff for knowledgeable fans, but not getting the publicity or commercial success they deserve.
@@hazimhamid4992 Hey chill, low voices are amazing! Barry White, Karen Carpenter, Michael Bublé, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elvis - all low voices, yet amazing in their own ways! It is not how high or low the pitch you sing that will determine whether you are a good singer or not, but the fullness of your notes when you do so. If you can get a vocal teacher who you can trust and is very good at what he or she is doing, I am sure you can do better!
Katy Perry uses autotune.. She's a hit making money maker machine, she's smart for using her songs like "roar" to catch young audience who don't even understand TALENT.
+Sonny Gutierrez Actually no, she doesn't really use autotune, she just has her voice really polished in studio(compressed, equalized, etc.), thats why she sounds a little bit different live.
Autotune doesnt change the characteristics of your voice, it only corrects the pitch. So you still need a good voice to sound good. So in conclusion, no, anyone cant sound good with autotune, 99% of people will sound like they are singing out of their asses.
Lady Gaga, Adele and Sia - Pop Artists that I believe doesn't need this auto-tune. I mean if We are talking about Music Artists and Performers in Today's generation that has real talent! who else?
+Jermyn Matthew lady gaga uses some, and sia definitely. It's very hard to hear with them but pitch correction is a standard nowadays to minimize production costs, singers dont have to do 100+ takes like in the old days, etc. In pop, autotune is in 99% of singers guaranteed. In some, more than others. Pitch correction found its way even into some small parts of metal, but metal, jazz and classical(opera) still remain the least autotuned genres with little to no autotuned singers. As for talent in today's generation, it's hard to say since people who actually have talent don't get commercial recognition nowadays. Good music is still out there, but you need to try harder to find it...however, once you do find it, it's the kind of stuff that puts the shitty pop on the radio nowadays to shame XD
I don't think this guy is very good at correcting shit vocals with autotune. What the major music studios can do is far more impressive. You don't need to be able to sing at all. You just need to look good and be sellable. Shit, they don't even write their own music at all... and they barely perform it.
You don't need to be part of a major studio to be able to correct the vocals well. All they do is they record enough passes for each section of the song until the recording engineer or mixing engineer hears that you have enough for autotune to work well (for example if the singer tends to drop way below the intended note and then correct themselves to the correct note afterwards, that is unrepairable and they would record that part until the singer stopped doing that). It's no secrect that only the major studios know how to do. It's just tons and tons of work and I don't think they wanted to pay this producer or the reporter enough to make him and her want to do that kind of a recording session and that much post-production work. Also, a LOT of autotuning is not actually "automated". With the really bad singers, you manually correct the vocals using autotune. But that is very time consuming. However not something only major studios know how to do.
Anthony Berlin You should hear Britney Spears' voice through her concert mic... the one that she sings along to the music with... well, nobody in the audience hears it, but someone leaked some of it. Truly dreadful. My point was simply that this was a pisspoor example. All the autotuned parts were clearly fucked with. The major studios and people who know how to use the shit, do it flawlessly and seamlessly.
+TheAlabasterdeplume So very true.......you might have the best voice on the planet, but if you don't have "the look".....you'll never be a "star".....sad, actually.....
+RivzMedia holy shit me too. everyone knows its about espantoso or vrock XD but for some reason i fucking hated emotion and the swankiness of fever 105. But i also love flash fm and wave 103. then theres those talk shows where the political guys has dumbass views of america
I could do with some auto tune :P Lol, at the end of the day, a little is fine. As someone who's studied audio engineering, we use effects on everything. The rule is less is more of course, but auto tune can essentially be classed as another effect like compression, chorus or reverb which are often used on vocals to make them sound better.
***** the effectiveness depends on the talent of the singer, the less the talent the more obvious it is, and i don't see the point in using it if its obvious, at the end of the day a bad singer is a bad singer, and using autotune is just admitting it, especially live, and no is not a button, its more complex than just pressing a button.
i love auto tune for the robotic effect it gives your voice it sounds cool for certain songs. If a singer uses it who really cares as long as the lyrics are good.
dobb673 Thank you. Autotune has people mistaking some "artists" as Talented. It's sad really. I am part of this generation, but I perfer much older music.
Curteous Gemini so what if an artist has great lyrics but doesnt have the voice to match is he not talented. Thats why autotune is ok it opens up doors for new possibilites and growth its not like these guys are going around saying there the best
constilations They should be non-performing writers and let talented singers sing their songs. Been going on for decades. Auto-tune is fake. It lowers the bar.
dobb673 some people like that "electronic" tone that auto-tune can give a singer. It wouldn't be an anomaly, as we have decent proof that people enjoy electronic music being that it is so popular in festivals and clubs. It's not always that the singer is bad, even when they're near-close to pitch perfect the auto-tune can still sound a little because there are not that many singers that are spot on 100% of the time. We're humans, not machines, and if you view some artists up on some pedestals you aren't going to appreciate any of the lower talent. Such bigotry. I bet the people that are claiming it's "wrong" to enjoy auto-tuned voices can't even hold their own in the musical scene. So their opinions are not any more informed or grounded than the others'.
Christian Villegas There are a few artists who can actually sing. Christina definitely is one of them and I would add Jessie J too. This girl has a huge voice, like wow.
David Cassidy (RIP sweet man) didn't, nor did he ever use auto-tune!! He had an EXCELLENT voice. He gave 47 years to music, the music industry, film, plays, TV & all his millions of fans. Next month he has been in heaven for a year, and he is sorely missed. 💔😭🎤🎸🎧
Wait, that autotune was meant to improve her voice? That... is considered an improvement? Seriously? That sounded worse than her singing beforehand, and it's not because it's autotune.
I think if you put a professional to the work for a day or two, you might actually end up with something that would be passable. I guess it's just like with a rendered image, there more care you put into it, the more realistic it looks.
+Edbrad Yes, but it can never sound completely natural (which is what singing is supposed to sound like!), for just the same reasons as why violin sound effects on a computer can never sound as natural as a real human hand playing on a real violin. Those autotune "artists" should learn how to sing before they start performing in front of audiences.
I thought there was something sweet about her natural voice. It reminded me of when we are just singing something to ourselves or someone else (like a kid or a baby). I liked it.
Because the producer didn't know how to use it. Generally you use the key the song is written in as the scale in autotune, but he used a chromatic scale, which sounds horrible in most cases.
That's why we use Melodyne now. The pitch correction sounds natural, as long as you're stable and accurate enough with your pitch. This video is such a gross oversimplification of reality, though. Very competent singers can use it to sound more polished on a recording and during live performances. It helps them focus more on the overall performance and emotion, rather than being fixated on hitting every note perfectly (it's not humanly possible anyways). The opposite is true: you can be close to perfectly accurate and sing notes well, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're a singer with good technique.
ARKIRE ARKIRE yah i agree.. I can sing.... But sometimes i just like to use auto tune.. Sometimes I don't ..but especially when im drunk which i most always am when recording.. Drunk as hell. .. Auto tune... Well.. Does have a skill to be known in itself.. Its not just wam bam thank you mam I'm a rockstar singer now. I record quite a few people on Auto tune and they can't do it cause like you said. But yes its helpful.. Back in the day we couldn't hear as clear.. Mic and speaker tech wasn't as good so u couldn't tell the bad parts... But now everything is pitch perfect through mics and speakers it catches all the flaws. Hard to be perfect especially a tour show the whole night.
This was the video that mislead everyone. Heavy auto tune is for the stylistic sound, as for light auto tune, you ACTUALLY have to be able to sing on key to some extent or your voice will go all over the place.
SupraNatural - Gaming, Music, Collecting Yeah, I’m laughing my ass off right now, people don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about and saying A LittLE AuTOtUnE AcTuALYY DoESNT sOUnD ThaT BAd when they put the autotune on fast speed is for style and when it’s slower is for people who can’t stay on key
Britney could actually sing really well live before. Britney truly is talented, and I do think that Britney still can sing live, but her voice was way more powerful back in the days. This is because her record label wanted her to change the way she sung so she could be more sexy and appeal to a bigger crowd. I just really hope that Britney will stop releasing songs with a big amount of autotune, because she really has a sweet voice that isn't that bad live. At least after she have warmed up her voice.
When they mentioned Christina, I was waiting for it and then 2:00 YASSSSSSS BITCH YASS. btw the shade thooo I'm dead lolol Britney vs Christina. DOn't know what people were thinking back in the day
+se7en1976 The reason people get dumb in this world is because they argue about stupid stuff like grammar and words on the Internet, when no one really ought to care, especially on a social websites like UA-cam, instead of arguing about stuff that matter; or perhaps they argue about grammar because they're dumb already...
+Ca Ka Christina Aguilera is amazing, I would have never thought when I heard Genie in a bottle back in the day. Two others that are actually damn good live as far as I know are Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus.
serious casual gamer i said almost... i didn't mean every single song in the world?? and a song doesn't need to be mainstream for it to be auto tuned. a lot of unknown songs are auto tuned too..

Do I hate auto tune - No Is it over used - Yes I don't hate it. I don't love it. I'm a fan of all eras of music and have respect for every generation of it. And while I do think people who can sing without it are the people with legitimate talent, let's just cut to the chase and the accept the fact that the majority of this generations pop artists are made to look and sound better than they are because at the end of the day the producers only give a shit about what's making them money.
Sums up the whole music industry. Now add in AI and quantum computing in the next couple decades. Heck, it could take even less time for those to be advanced and widespread. Just imagine: a single quantum computer could fetch literally every song on the web, analyze all the patterns, and produce a masterpiece in seconds (well, let's ignore Internet speed and bandwidth). The industry's gonna eat that up.
3:35 lil nas x better have gotten the idea for old town road from this autotune with county but it was definitely a good idea add the trap beat from hip hop rather than overdone autotune
+Leeroy Jones Every pop star has melodyne on their tracks, she is just one of the few who doesn't need it. But it will make a great vocal take by her and make it perfect musically, which is the intent.
Should i hate britney now for using autotune? In my opinion every famous artist can sing, autotune doesnt replace your entire voice.these singers have a unique voice which nobody has and which makes them so fanous.
Several years ago, one of the groups at Lollapalooza had to sing on stage without electronic alteration, and their crowd walked out because their real singing was that bad.
HarbingerOfTruth1 yes. Think of very famous stars. They have an image and have an unique voice. You can listen to a song and knows immediatly that its from Rihanna or Britney or Miley... All big stars have an unique voice and an image.
you shouldn't hate bridney, because is true that she had a beutiful voice, but, if you listen to her NOW live, she sounds very bad... then yes, everybody who play some right notes can be a pop star like bridney, but not everybody can be a singer
I mean really ..... think about it. Why should one say that they are a singer if they need gadgets to sing for them (autotune). That's like someone who has a degree given to them for something that they never even received any training for and they pretend that they earned it and want recognition for it ...but to each it's own!
I think autotune is fine as a tool to give a song a futuristic feel, but people who use it as a crutch to hide the fact that they just can't sing (Jason Derulo, Katy Perry, etc.) shouldn't be in the music industry.
+Micah Kimsey I am too; they are both good singers. They use /used auto-tune to achieve certain effects just like someone would tweak the settings of an instrument to get another sound. They never said that they actually sounded like that and if people bothered to hear their real voices (especially Britney, everyone knows Cher's voice) they'd be surprised at how good they actually are.
Very true! If she was to double track her vocal, and very mild Autotune, but not fully correct, she would sound not bad at all. To be honest, I didn't think too much to what he did for her, but then again, we only heard about two seconds of the best version, so the jury is still out.

Probably the best sentence I heard in a while.
Something about the resolution and quality of this video is so cozy and nostalgic
I don't think this guy is very good at correcting shit vocals with autotune. What the major music studios can do is far more impressive. You don't need to be able to sing at all. You just need to look good and be sellable. Shit, they don't even write their own music at all... and they barely perform it.
This is from 2011 though...
Peterjohan01 Yeah, major producers, way before 2011, could correct horrible vocals.
You don't need to be part of a major studio to be able to correct the vocals well. All they do is they record enough passes for each section of the song until the recording engineer or mixing engineer hears that you have enough for autotune to work well (for example if the singer tends to drop way below the intended note and then correct themselves to the correct note afterwards, that is unrepairable and they would record that part until the singer stopped doing that). It's no secrect that only the major studios know how to do. It's just tons and tons of work and I don't think they wanted to pay this producer or the reporter enough to make him and her want to do that kind of a recording session and that much post-production work. Also, a LOT of autotuning is not actually "automated". With the really bad singers, you manually correct the vocals using autotune. But that is very time consuming. However not something only major studios know how to do.
Anthony Berlin You should hear Britney Spears' voice through her concert mic... the one that she sings along to the music with... well, nobody in the audience hears it, but someone leaked some of it. Truly dreadful. My point was simply that this was a pisspoor example. All the autotuned parts were clearly fucked with. The major studios and people who know how to use the shit, do it flawlessly and seamlessly.
That Britney leaked voice? Everyone sounds like that if they are out of breath and know that nobody is going to listen to their voice.
video killed the radio srar
jajajajajaja
+TheAlabasterdeplume i just had a flashback of playing Vice City
+RivzMedia 😂yeah
+TheAlabasterdeplume So very true.......you might have the best voice on the planet, but if you don't have "the look".....you'll never be a "star".....sad, actually.....
+RivzMedia holy shit me too. everyone knows its about espantoso or vrock XD but for some reason i fucking hated emotion and the swankiness of fever 105. But i also love flash fm and wave 103. then theres those talk shows where the political guys has dumbass views of america
was better without autotune
+MasterSteve26 I actually liked it with a little better. :P
Tim Samspritz and you are one of those who cant appreciate real talent
nah bruh
+xDanishGamerz I liked it with a little bit the best too, without any she clearly was a bit flat.
+MasterSteve26 I agree!!
"this could turn me into a singer?.. No no a pop artist?" I'm dead
Not with integrity enless u learn to write
I could do with some auto tune :P
Lol, at the end of the day, a little is fine. As someone who's studied audio engineering, we use effects on everything. The rule is less is more of course, but auto tune can essentially be classed as another effect like compression, chorus or reverb which are often used on vocals to make them sound better.
***** the effectiveness depends on the talent of the singer, the less the talent the more obvious it is, and i don't see the point in using it if its obvious, at the end of the day a bad singer is a bad singer, and using autotune is just admitting it, especially live, and no is not a button, its more complex than just pressing a button.
And then there was Jacob Sartorius
Steven G.
Steven G. Jacob saggytits you mean?
Jump Central or Jacob Sagittarius
+Fifth harmony Videos That's what I say
*Jaco Pastorius
i love auto tune for the robotic effect it gives your voice it sounds cool for certain songs. If a singer uses it who really cares as long as the lyrics are good.
Exactly what's wrong with the world - this comment has the most thumbs up. Enjoy the free world while it lasts folks.
dobb673 Thank you. Autotune has people mistaking some "artists" as Talented. It's sad really. I am part of this generation, but I perfer much older music.
Curteous Gemini so what if an artist has great lyrics but doesnt have the voice to match is he not talented. Thats why autotune is ok it opens up doors for new possibilites and growth its not like these guys are going around saying there the best
constilations
They should be non-performing writers and let talented singers sing their songs. Been going on for decades. Auto-tune is fake. It lowers the bar.
dobb673 some people like that "electronic" tone that auto-tune can give a singer. It wouldn't be an anomaly, as we have decent proof that people enjoy electronic music being that it is so popular in festivals and clubs. It's not always that the singer is bad, even when they're near-close to pitch perfect the auto-tune can still sound a little because there are not that many singers that are spot on 100% of the time. We're humans, not machines, and if you view some artists up on some pedestals you aren't going to appreciate any of the lower talent.
Such bigotry. I bet the people that are claiming it's "wrong" to enjoy auto-tuned voices can't even hold their own in the musical scene. So their opinions are not any more informed or grounded than the others'.
And there was Jake Paul
And then there was rice gum
3:25 sounds really good
It's true. It sounds like Dido more or less.
Yea, this video is in my recommended section for about a year now...
If I have to endure these 4 minutes, so shall I.
This "producer" doesn't know how to correctly autotune.
MIRAGES MUSIC he dont know shit, Even me with a Talk-Box can make a more realistic voice than that
Ian Harrison this is over 6 Year’s ago when autotune was brand new
I did not knew! Sorry then
Singing is not only about hitting the notes beautifully.
I dunno ... I think auto tune can do a lot more than that! Have you heard Randy Marsh aka Lorde sing???
+Xander Sterling LOL that episode was just on!
HAHA!! Yess😂😂😂
Anyone else thing he added a bit too much autotune?
Millennium - Minecraft PE yee
I was crying when they said Christina doesn't need auto tune. She's a SINGER a REAL SINGER! #TheVoiceOfOurGeneration
Lol!! Me too! She's my fav!! I'm so glad she doesn't use
Michael Yue Lol autotune is starting to sound like a drug
Christian Villegas There are a few artists who can actually sing. Christina definitely is one of them and I would add Jessie J too. This girl has a huge voice, like wow.
ironically enough, she went off pitch on the clip they showed lol
+Glad Drago r u sick ?
David Cassidy (RIP sweet man) didn't, nor did he ever use auto-tune!! He had an EXCELLENT voice. He gave 47 years to music, the music industry, film, plays, TV & all his millions of fans. Next month he has been in heaven for a year, and he is sorely missed. 💔😭🎤🎸🎧
Wait, that autotune was meant to improve her voice? That... is considered an improvement? Seriously? That sounded worse than her singing beforehand, and it's not because it's autotune.
+Terry Gilliam lol bitch you mad commenting on everything telling people to stfu
I think if you put a professional to the work for a day or two, you might actually end up with something that would be passable. I guess it's just like with a rendered image, there more care you put into it, the more realistic it looks.
+Quintus Cosinius That is indeed the truth, sir!
Honestly when they added a *little* auto tune it didn't sound too bad
👏
Actually that second mild autotune sounded quite good :P
that's 70% of pop music lol
Not all of them mate, sorry. It can help but some vocalists don't need it.
Look up Tyler Carter, Fame Over Demise acoustic
Autotune can sound a LOT LOT better than this, this doesn't actually show you how good autotune (and the alternative programs) can be.
***** yh cuz this dumbass aint even put in the right keynote
xxNicoLaiixx how do u know that
xxNicoLaiixx how do u know that
Alexander Yama Because it corrects to the wrong pitch.
+Edbrad
Yes, but it can never sound completely natural (which is what singing is supposed to sound like!), for just the same reasons as why violin sound effects on a computer can never sound as natural as a real human hand playing on a real violin.
Those autotune "artists" should learn how to sing before they start performing in front of audiences.
Autotune isn't going to make you a great singer. She was too flat to use autotune without noticing it.
I thought there was something sweet about her natural voice. It reminded me of when we are just singing something to ourselves or someone else (like a kid or a baby). I liked it.
T pain never uses autotune
+Deli Sandwich lolno
+Deli Sandwich T-Pain is actually not a bad singer without autotune :)
+nicklas sivén Yes he is.
***** watch?v=CIjXUg1s5gc seems like you're a minority on this x)
+Jared Marsh yeah I may have been wrong on this one
Jesus. The autotune sounds way worse than the original bad singing.
shut up
Shawn Smith yes stupid asf😂
her singing isn't even that bad
Because the producer didn't know how to use it. Generally you use the key the song is written in as the scale in autotune, but he used a chromatic scale, which sounds horrible in most cases.
The auto tune sounds bad though and her real singing sounds good
That's why we use Melodyne now. The pitch correction sounds natural, as long as you're stable and accurate enough with your pitch.
This video is such a gross oversimplification of reality, though. Very competent singers can use it to sound more polished on a recording and during live performances. It helps them focus more on the overall performance and emotion, rather than being fixated on hitting every note perfectly (it's not humanly possible anyways). The opposite is true: you can be close to perfectly accurate and sing notes well, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're a singer with good technique.
This. I can *land* notes because I have perfect pitch. But I'm still a terrible singer.
Or, just a thought, you could actually learn to sing. And maybe, just maybe, you'll be passable
VL (YBlvr)
Ew k pop
ARKIRE ARKIRE yah i agree.. I can sing.... But sometimes i just like to use auto tune.. Sometimes I don't ..but especially when im drunk which i most always am when recording.. Drunk as hell. .. Auto tune... Well.. Does have a skill to be known in itself.. Its not just wam bam thank you mam I'm a rockstar singer now. I record quite a few people on Auto tune and they can't do it cause like you said. But yes its helpful.. Back in the day we couldn't hear as clear.. Mic and speaker tech wasn't as good so u couldn't tell the bad parts... But now everything is pitch perfect through mics and speakers it catches all the flaws. Hard to be perfect especially a tour show the whole night.
The point of listening to a human singing is sort of hearing what is humanly possible is it not?
I cant sing with auto tune, I still sound like a dying cat.
WaysOfTheWarrior same :)
Get a good music composer😂
That's outdated software. Nowadays auto-tune can transform a terrible voice into something phenomenal without any noticeable electronic elements.
I figured that as I watched.
Santos Cetorz haha...you can't change a shit singer into a vocal beast. if they're bad, they're bad. auto tune will only correct pitch
+Santos Cetorz this is false. audio engineering will not make a bad voice good. this is an audio engineering concept
I kind of figured that things would be less noticeable now, as this video is 6 years old.
So much for actually learning to sing.
This was the video that mislead everyone. Heavy auto tune is for the stylistic sound, as for light auto tune, you ACTUALLY have to be able to sing on key to some extent or your voice will go all over the place.
SupraNatural - Gaming, Music, Collecting
Yeah, I’m laughing my ass off right now, people don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about and saying A LittLE AuTOtUnE AcTuALYY DoESNT sOUnD ThaT BAd when they put the autotune on fast speed is for style and when it’s slower is for people who can’t stay on key
@@MMaldonado611 Little known fact. Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby were aliens who used autotune.
Britney could actually sing really well live before. Britney truly is talented, and I do think that Britney still can sing live, but her voice was way more powerful back in the days. This is because her record label wanted her to change the way she sung so she could be more sexy and appeal to a bigger crowd. I just really hope that Britney will stop releasing songs with a big amount of autotune, because she really has a sweet voice that isn't that bad live. At least after she have warmed up her voice.
Christopher Skogheim chuckles
Yes I agree with u and with her smoking it's really hard for her to sing
Christopher Skogheim ofc your voice change over time.... but britney cant sing....
***** Yeah :/ I don't really think that things will change, but it would be great if it did.
***** What is that supposed to mean?
When they mentioned Christina, I was waiting for it and then 2:00 YASSSSSSS BITCH YASS. btw the shade thooo I'm dead lolol Britney vs Christina. DOn't know what people were thinking back in the day
+se7en1976
The reason people get dumb in this world is because they argue about stupid stuff like grammar and words on the Internet, when no one really ought to care, especially on a social websites like UA-cam, instead of arguing about stuff that matter; or perhaps they argue about grammar because they're dumb already...
+se7en1976 Australian guy complains about bad slang english... you made my day
+Ca Ka - I would listen to Christina over Britney any day.
+Ca Ka
Christina is a more talented singer, but Britney had the better songs by far.
+Ca Ka
Christina Aguilera is amazing, I would have never thought when I heard Genie in a bottle back in the day. Two others that are actually damn good live as far as I know are Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus.
auto tune doesn't have to sound robotic like that... almost every studio version of songs are auto tuned.
이제니 you really don't know anything besides mainstream music then
serious casual gamer i have no idea what you're saying. what does mainstream music have to do with my statement?
이제니 what you said about there being auto tune on every studio versions of songs isn't true at all
serious casual gamer i said almost... i didn't mean every single song in the world?? and a song doesn't need to be mainstream for it to be auto tuned. a lot of unknown songs are auto tuned too..
이제니 not in what I listen to, tell me one song that's been made by famoua metal or rock band that's fully auto tuned, I don't think there's many songs like that, in pop and the such however, 80% of the songs are suto tuned
Ya right britney has proven herself time and time again her imperfections is perfection
She's just a puppet and a face an that's that
@@lilwoodiewood3457 yet she's somehow more successful than your rude ass
damn no wonder you're not relevant you're bragging about getting hits on spotify and comparing yourself to eminem when you can't even rap on beat to save your life
think you need to learn to accept criticism in life and be a bit more humble lmao
Do I hate auto tune - No
Is it over used - Yes
I don't hate it. I don't love it. I'm a fan of all eras of music and have respect for every generation of it. And while I do think people who can sing without it are the people with legitimate talent, let's just cut to the chase and the accept the fact that the majority of this generations pop artists are made to look and sound better than they are because at the end of the day the producers only give a shit about what's making them money.
Sums up the whole music industry. Now add in AI and quantum computing in the next couple decades. Heck, it could take even less time for those to be advanced and widespread.
Just imagine: a single quantum computer could fetch literally every song on the web, analyze all the patterns, and produce a masterpiece in seconds (well, let's ignore Internet speed and bandwidth). The industry's gonna eat that up.
Some artist don't ask for autotune...... The engineer might put it on there to give the song more life and the artist might like the outcome.
Why did this pop up after i watched sweatshirt by jacob xDD
Even with auto-tune Jacob sounds horrible
true xD
Why did you watch Sweatshirt by Jacob to begin with
The real question is why did you search Sweatshirt by Jacob
Because I watched Bart Baker's parody and i forgot what the song was actually like and i watched it and got cancer
Tanya Sounds Pretty Good, She Had The Courage To Sing In A Recording Studio In Front Of People, She Deserves A Medal 🏅🎤
awww Christina always making herself and her fans proud
yeap!!! I always proud for being her fan since the beginning, I knew that she was great since the first time that I listened her
Selena Gomez
Maree Taylor exactly what I was thinking
YES
Did that man say his name was Tennis Mounts?
3:35 lil nas x better have gotten the idea for old town road from this autotune with county but it was definitely a good idea add the trap beat from hip hop rather than overdone autotune
she sounds better without autotune
I hate autotune... Nowadays most Pop sucks anyway. People there are as talented as my rubber duck.
I'm pretty sure your duck can sing better. It's a sad state of affairs.
thought you said something else.
Rubber duckie, you're the one...
Christina Aguilera doesn't use auto tune
She does. Everyone does but it's not noticeable.
No she doesn't. One of her team was interviewed and said she doesn't use and don't need any auto tune during the recording of back to basics album.
+voltaire balagtas For Bionic she did, but that was for artistic purposes
+No Search a vid with her singing live, it's obvious she doesn't use autotune, she's just a talented singer.
+Leeroy Jones Every pop star has melodyne on their tracks, she is just one of the few who doesn't need it. But it will make a great vocal take by her and make it perfect musically, which is the intent.
The little imperfections can add to a song, thinking of Joe Cocker's voice cracking at the end of "You Are So Beautiful" as just one example.
i need the old youtube back, its a complete clusterfuck now
Nour Imam 2017 ruined it
Should i hate britney now for using autotune? In my opinion every famous artist can sing, autotune doesnt replace your entire voice.these singers have a unique voice which nobody has and which makes them so fanous.
It corrects you when you're off key. No not every artist can sing or they wouldnt need autotune.
Several years ago, one of the groups at Lollapalooza had to sing on stage without electronic alteration, and their crowd walked out because their real singing was that bad.
Their voice making them famous? Are you joking?
HarbingerOfTruth1 yes. Think of very famous stars. They have an image and have an unique voice. You can listen to a song and knows immediatly that its from Rihanna or Britney or Miley... All big stars have an unique voice and an image.
you shouldn't hate bridney, because is true that she had a beutiful voice, but, if you listen to her NOW live, she sounds very bad... then yes, everybody who play some right notes can be a pop star like bridney, but not everybody can be a singer
Anyone who sings with autotune shouldn't be in the music industry!
+underneonloneliness2 I agree totally
Why not?
I mean really ..... think about it. Why should one say that they are a singer if they need gadgets to sing for them (autotune). That's like someone who has a degree given to them for something that they never even received any training for and they pretend that they earned it and want recognition for it ...but to each it's own!
I think autotune is fine as a tool to give a song a futuristic feel, but people who use it as a crutch to hide the fact that they just can't sing (Jason Derulo, Katy Perry, etc.) shouldn't be in the music industry.
I agree!
1:10 *then Britney pops up* so much shade 😂
I'm mad that they put Cher and Britney out there like that hahahaha but imma sip my tea.
but that's none of my business
+Micah Kimsey I am too; they are both good singers. They use /used auto-tune to achieve certain effects just like someone would tweak the settings of an instrument to get another sound. They never said that they actually sounded like that and if people bothered to hear their real voices (especially Britney, everyone knows Cher's voice) they'd be surprised at how good they actually are.
hahahahahahahahaha love this comment!!!
the youtube youtube used to be
jakob qasadilla future ft drake.
She doesn't sound bad to me lol
Tanya, my wife and I agree that you are our favorite singer for the rest of the night. Fun video!
it sounded worse with the auto tune haha
Is it weird that i find the normal version better. Auto tune sounds so bad.
Me too. :D
It doesn't if the producer is really good on his job, if he is it sounds really good and not like a robot
nah i think it just sounded bad because he didn't put a lot of effort (if at all) to do fine-grain corrections just for the purpose of demonstration.
Yeah it had sort of a character. It would fit some bitter sweet blues/country song
Very true! If she was to double track her vocal, and very mild Autotune, but not fully correct, she would sound not bad at all. To be honest, I didn't think too much to what he did for her, but then again, we only heard about two seconds of the best version, so the jury is still out.
Faze "Blaze" took this video to a whole nother level.
Harmless so true
Ikr he’s soooo shit.
I cant lie she can sing! 3:26
The band i awesome and the slight cave echo reminds me of the 70's
