Ok, I’ve had enough. All of this Autotune crap is getting out of hand. Cher used it a while back and that was fine, but now it’s becoming commonplace all over music.
Can’t sing? No problem, we’ll hook you up to Autotune and make you sound like a freakin’ robot. Is everyone just trying to get a futuristic vibe going on their sound? I’m not sure, but I will say that it all just sounds like crap. Like horrible, talentless crap.
I reached the breaking point a while ago, really, but today when I heard the Lil Wayne song “Prom Queen” that he did with some of the guys from Korn, I thought, “This just might be one of the worst songs I’ve heard in a long time.”
