What's up with all the synthesized vocals? Shakira did it in this vid, Mariah Carey does it in some of hers, The AT&T commercial (Mary J. Blige?) uses heavily synthesized vocals...


Can't they sing? Do they need the computer enhancement to sound...decent?

I certainly don't care for the effect. (Mariah used to have a pretty decent voice...back when she was young. )

Where have you been? Autotune has been raping the musical landscape for years now. The thing I don't get is that even the people making music are complaining about it but we keep getting more and more that are doing practically full albums with it. It's right up there with guitar solos going missing several years back.

Gimme a break. This is about the only exposure I get to hip-hop.(thankfully) I really do NOT listen to "modern rock," hip-hop, or much of any of the "newer" musical styles of the past 15-20 years...(alternative rock? WTF is that? An alternative TO rock? Skaa? cover your mouth when you cough...indie music? Is that the theme song for the Indianapolis 500? :p

Listen to "Through the Rain (Hq2 Radiot Edit)".

How you get it - I can't comment.

She can sing in Spanish, but she just doesn't get how to sing in English.

Dayem, certainly nothing subtle in that speaker hump. Someone please make that into a .gif for me.

She's too skinny now. I liked her better when she had more curves.


Still doable though.
