Just so you know, I originally posted this thread in the Moan Zone, it wasn't moved here. So, number 1, if you ain't here to moan, bugger off (although I suppose "counter-moaning" counts.)
So, we witness possibly the worst display of public auto-tuning in history on the biggest television event of the year, and we're not supposed to discuss it here on Gearslutz?
For many, this fiasco was a good learning tool. It displayed the extent of damage improper usage of auto-tune could do, and I'm sure many engineers learned something from watching the video under scrutiny.
I would consider it a feat if anybody here is a bigger Billy Joel fan than I am. I think he's the greatest songwriter of all time. Perhaps that's why I was so pissed off when I heard him being butchered by auto-tune.
We flame a lot of "big" names on here. Why? Cuz we know they don't give a shit about what we think! If anything, it's a testiment to their greatness. Most of the comments on here are meant to be taken in a technical or professional manner, even if they aren't worded as such. "That Avril Lavigne bitch deserves to die" is probably not something I would say if I knew actually knew her. But that's how I feel about "the character she plays on TV." It's the nature of the beast; Nothing personal.
As far as the poor engineer who did it, well, we all make mistakes, but if I slipped on a banana peel and fell on my face while my pants fell down and a bird was crapping on my head, I wouldn't hold it against even the most decent of people to point and laugh. It is what it is.
