no, I hate auto-tune more than you hate auto tune
back to the original question. who has heard the song? who thinks there is auto-tune on it? Enquiring minds want to know....
I just went to iTunes and got it- to spend a buck and satisfy my curisiosity. I never claimed to be one of those people who can "spot" auto-tune a mile away, but I have to agree with Sounds Great, it sounds a bit suspect in spots. "switching" to the note is a good description. I would almost say "leaping".
Perhaps we have someone on this board who knows for sure or who knows the guy who knows the guy.
I have always considered Sheryl Crow one of those singers who skillfully worked with the pitch for tension and release.
"All I Wanna Do" for example has pitch like a drunken unicylclist on the high wire. But she never falls off.
I think she is a great singer and her early career as a backup singer is an even better "credential" in terms of being someone able to hit the pitches she wants to hit.
Very odd.
