|  Autotune... Superbowl... Billy Joel...
That was one of the most disgusting and public uses of Autotune I have ever seen. Maybe that's what the music buying public needs to realize that digitizing every voice isn't going to benefit anyone. Wow... what an embarrassment. |

1) Who had the audacity to put AutoTune on Billy Joel's marvelous voice? 2) Where does he live? 3) Does anyone want to visit him with me? Torches and pitchforks optional.

| ****ing hell!!!..........
I hate AutoTune!!! If Bush and Cheney ever get inpeached, the next thing that should be lobbied for in Congress is to get an Anti-AutoTune legislation passed------- Three Strikes (Three uses of Auto Tune) and your out!! Or IN for that matter with all the rest of the criminals who have committed heinous crimes against humanity! AND if you're a singer and one has to be used on your "intonation" handicapped voice, quit the biz, or DO THE TIME!!! End of story......anyways.......peace......

I can't understand it. How can a singer find his own pitch when he is monitoring autotune output? He was a one-take singer ... *sigh* -synthoid |

I was waiting for this thread to pop up. Why in the world would you autotune one of the greatest vocalists of all time? I can't imagine why he would allow that to happen. Absolutely disgusting.

Hmmm... I'm usually quite sensitive to autotune, but I didn't hear it. Perhaps it's because he began REALLY sharp the first bar or two, then seemed to "hear" what was going on and "nailed it." Guess my autotune detector is broken tonight. Might have been the pre-game guiness.

Sounded like he started out a little shakey, then someone panicked and turned the AT up to the full on chromatic Cher mode. That was crazy. |

Yeah, it sounded autotuned, but it was out of tune almost the whole time. And his timing was pretty bad as well. But IMO who cares, it was Billy Joel. Not a fan here.
