Today, in music theory we watched this video:

It made me think about how so much of today's music is obsessed with auto-tuning. Recently, it's been used to the point where the voices don't sound remotely like anything that our bodies can actually create, but no one seems to really have a problem with this. I myself am kind of torn. On one side, I like some of the songs with auto-tuning, but on the other, I really don't like the overuse of this system because it makes "singers" out of people who aren't. With the abundance of technology like this that can "correct" the tonality of any singer and make their voice sound like whatever they want it to, which defeats the entire purpose of being a singer, and leads to people becoming famous for reasons unrelated to singing, or are already famous for something else and decide to "become a singer" even though they don't really know how to sing very well. The biggest problem is, society (or rather, the majority) seems to be okay with this. Will this continue to escalate (as in has since auto-tuning has been invented)? And if so, how far will it go?
