I'm not excusing his rudeness, but maybe Kanye West was on to something at that Grammy awards show. I mean, whatever kind of music you like, listen to Beyonce live and compare the two.

How exactly is the auto-tune done for professional studios? Does it work live? Or is it only after the performance is initially recorded? Thanks, I really want to know what's available out there.

1. I despise Auto-Tune 2. The first out-of-tune version of Miss Black was obviously fake 3. At least she is fully clothed (although given a little time I'm sure some sleaze video producer will get her up to speed on what really sells todays music) "sad" 4. The Taylor Swift video could very well be faked; there are times when she is not directly on the mic but the timbre of her voice does not change. I guess she could be lip syncing, but would they really use that audio track? 5. What was that song"?" Video Killed the Radio Star. Sort of true. But then again, songs being performed in old movies of Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, etc. were the music videos of the time. The difference is those folks had real talent and didn't have technology to hide behind.
Don't know anything about it, but sounds interesting.

I am not a fan of lip syncing either, but when you are about to be doused with water, I wouldn't want to be holding a mic, so I guess for production value in that instance, it was warranted. She's a hard worker - writes her own material, plays and sings OK - I think in the interest of a dynamic visual presentation, using a dead mic for the last part of the song was OK. Personally, I think the quick change of outfits was more impressive than the water, but hey ... I grew up during the Flashdance era. Water tricks are old news~ LOL
