It's a shame these days of television, youtube and twitter storms that careers can be ruined for want of a nacho's worth of Guacamooooooooole.

"Go naked?"

You have those purists that want live vocals done raw, but when those same people hear a less than computer assisted perfect pitched notes, they get all pissy about it.

It's like all the critics are conditioned to perfection from auto tune and when it's not offered up they complain. And when it's offered up with a bit of computer help, they complain even more.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, or do as say, not as I do.

That did not sound like any AT artifacts I've ever heard. Interesting how the last note tweaked. Probably because of the amount of the crowd noise at the end (& delays... & delays... & delays...).

It's been going on since Mozart.
Bach was lucky, they didn't exist then.

The critics are idiots.........

Sorry to disagree but she's like a quarter step flat on all of the harmonies.
Not to mention some of her passing notes are just wrong notes. It's atrocious.

Didn't sound like AT to me, just a bad last note. Not into either of those voices....
