It seems that a lot of musicians today are using autotune in their songs (autotune basically is used to disguise off-key inaccuracies and mistakes, and has allowed singers to perform perfectly tuned vocal tracks without the need of singing in tune. Some musicians have used it to add new elements to their songs like T-Pain and Lil Wayne). Frankly, I think it’s a big fat pile of junk.

“If you need more than a microphone and a stage you are a punk.” -Frank Sinatra

This quote got me thinking, why have they embraced mediocrity in music? Shouldn’t we applaud the real talent? I think that what make musicians stand out is the fact that they can do something that not everyone else can. I have a friend Tiffany that only needs her own voice with a crowd to listen to her and she can blow the socks off what is out there right now. She is an incredible singer (one day I’ll get a video of her to post for you all).

What happened to the real talent out there in the music world? Why aren’t the talented the ones that are highlighted? What happened to musicians that could actually play an instrument and singers who could actually sing? Anyone can come and throw down lyrics and use autotune to make it sound better. There is nothing great about that though. There is no special talent there that makes them different. So, why do we support it?

Here is a video of Andy McKee and extremely talented musician. All he needs is his guitar.

Real talent is what lasts forever. These autotuned songs may be what is popular now, but I doubt they will ever become timeless. What are your thoughts?
