Rock man dan....the instruments are in key..
I would never run a vocal through 2 types of pitch correction, except in extreme cases. I know people do...and although you can get away with it in a busy arrangement or in robot pop, it sounds pretty dire.

I would go back to the original untuned vocal and either use autotune in graphic mode (and just fix the notes that need fixing, although if you're doing tight pop/rnb that could be all of them!) or use melodyne and start again either fix the notes that need it or tune the lot by a percentage (and then fix the dodgy bits).

I'm also of the opinion that Melodyne f**ks the top end, but I'm gradually coming round to the idea that the speed of it for BVs means that's a sacrifice that has to be made.

Either that, or pay someone else to get good results for you!
