2009 in auto-tune

An industrious individual has taken some of the top entertainment stories of the year and set them to music, and auto-tuned the voices. It really reminded me of the purely awesome auto-tune video of Carl Sagan (feat. Stephen Hawking), A Glorious Dawn.

This is humorous and purely for fun, and I can appreciate that. It’s when the music studios try to sell me a singer as a legitimate artist, but who is obviously using auto-tune.

However, I think it has been getting more attention in the last year or so, and instead of being the industry’s little secret, it’s approached more honestly (as honestly as you can approach something that helps you sing in tune).
