Really?

To clarify, I don't mind autotune (or melodyne as is now pretty much the standard in pitch correction/manipulation) for certain stylistic flourishes in appropriate kinds of tunes. i.e. Kanye's Love Lockdown, Vocoder-style effects in Daft Punk tunes, or even that bloody Cher Believe song that started it all that pitch-poncing. What I don't like is when it's used 'subtly' on vocalists who really shouldn't need it, but it still flattens out the harmonics in their vocal tone, even if they manage to avoid the weird pitch-bending artefacts that is such a giveaway.

If it's stylistically appropriate to the song then I can probably live with it, though I'd probably still prefer it without.

I'm not really a fan but it'll grow on me I think. He needs to launch the single at G-A-Y. Everyone launches there.

Oh I see. You think I'm attributing your quote to single fish. I'm not. It's just singlefish is obviously more refined than the likes of us and was clearly horrified when Cake made a joke about bum fun.

Oh, I see, sorry, I thought it was your 'interchangeable scottish women' thing again. My bad.

And oi, I can be refined, I'm very refined

Me? Refined? Wahahaha!!! If only you knew. And I wasn't horrified at Cake's joke. I was horrified that he thought I was being homophobic!!

And re autotune. I wouldn't say it was 'stylistically appropriate'. Oh dear...but it's catchy and the girlies will love it.

Well there's a vocal effect to make it sound a bit like he's on a phone but it's not the retuning thing afaict.

RCA clearly (or desperately) wants to penetrate in the market of the teens. So they wait till Elyar's single is at its end for starting with a new trial.”

That is odd indeed.

Isn't the 10th most likely since that's the monday?

I saw, I've been looking to see the reaction to it

I would laugh for weeks if you never, ever actually listen to it

It's almost worth it just to provide you with the comedy

And yes, it will be the 10th. Amazon's date will just be their database monkeys getting confused.
