Okay, back in the day when Roger Troutman and Zapp made classics like "More Bounce to the Ounce" and "Computer Love," Roger had a tube hanging out his mouth called a vocoder that gave his group a distinctive sound. Today, it's called "auto-tune," and frankly, I'm auto-tuned out.
It was cute for a minute with T-Pain, and worked on the a, a, a, a, a, alcohol jam with Jamie Foxx, but now it seems like EVERYBODY wants to be auto-tuned and do corny pop music and to me, it's starting to sound played out. I mean, Tyrese, what's up with you? Now YOU'VE gone pop and got auto-tuned when you have a soulful voice and can actually sing? Mary J., you don't need to be auto-tuned either. Give us another one of those "you're wrong!" songs and belt it from your diaphragm like you know how!
And music industry, stop having everybody do the same thing! Let the real singers sing. Let those who can't, dance. And can we please let auto-tune be a thing of the past?
Just a thought. If anyone agrees or disagrees, please let me know.
