Shania is another one that uses the live autotune.

Firstly because Hud probably doesn't bloody need it, especially not in the style she's using, and third and lastly because live performing no longer perforce separates the older persons of indeterminate gender from the younger persons of same. Dammit. Also - why the hell isn't the lead singer of Stellastarr using this? He's the only bugger magnificent enough that I can stand to listen to with that bad of pitch. Geez, people. Next you'll be telling me that my girl Ashlee Simpson pre-records her live vox. Cerise You know - this kind of ticks me off a bit.

It's Autotune. That "oh" at :36-37 is a prime example. She's just sliding her pitch up, and the Autotune is grabbing each note as she flips through them. I can't see how mp3 compression could have that effect. This from the guy that has to <a href="http://addisonrd.com/WordPress/2006/12/23/15-hymns-little-drummer-boy/" rel="nofollow">Autotune his own vocals</a> that much to sound at all cool. Nah.

I think they use a pretty heavy squeeze to get it down to steaming size for youtube. My first thought wasn't autotune, it was mp3 artifacts. lemme just throw this out there … are you sure it’s not the compression on the flash video that’s producing artifacts?

There are some notes that seem tuned, but to the wrong pitch. Either way, tuning live is a terrible, terrible mistake. And yes, you would really like Karen's husband.

Sometimes it's overused (say 98% of all country music), but our ears are well trained to hear stuff in tune these days. Even most rock stuff on the radio has been tuned... you don't hear that overdone effect, but it's been tweaked. The wrong use is live on stage. You can get away with a lot more out of tune stuff live than you can recorded, so to slap on a singer that's pretty good already, and then crank it down so hard that it sounds like Cher, is not cool.
