C and Y

CNY is here again. Oh yeah. Nothing much to look forward to. As you age, the chances of you receiving red packets tends to dip.
Sigh, as you grow older, the world seems to grow colder.

Currently been listening to songs by 2PM such as
1. I was Crazy about you
2. All night long
3. Back to you
4. Gimme the light

those guys are awesome. Its just a pity they are one man short since Jay left.
Those guys sound great even with auto tune. On the other hand, I dont feel the same about all the other artists who use auto tune.
Lets start of with talking about auto tune. Its that robotic voice that was made famous by T Pain. I dont approve of artists using it before proving they have any solid form of talent especially new cats like Sean Kingston and Jason Derulo. Yes. Currently their two hit singles "Shawty like a melody" and "Whatcha say" has been playing from speakers everywhere. Until you have proven that you can actually sing, using auto tune on your first album only makes you look stupid. Auto tune wasnt made to cover your flaws. It was additional. The thing about RnB and what makes it different from other genres is that the human voice is not just a person singing with the melody. The human voice is an INSTRUMENT also. Ever wondered why some times you would get lost when you sang RnB songs at the karaoke? and you need the lyrics to guide you so you wouldnt get lost? Thats what I mean.

Anyway here are a few artists using auto tune for the greater good/fun/nothing better to do/too much money/they have talent and their fans know it so they dont give a.

1.T Pain
2.Chris Brown
3.Lil Wayne
4.Omarion
5.Marques Houston
6.Lil Wayne
7.Snoop Dogg
8.R Kelly
9.Kanye West
10.Akon

These two dont deserve to be anywhere near hiphop and RnB. It makes me feel old saying this but these young cats dont make real music anymore.
So as a conclusion, stay away from auto tune until you have proved any solid form of talent because you are just fake that way. Nuff said.
