I picked up on the auto-tune too. Sometimes I like the sound of it and it can be used to make good music. For example, The LoveCrave make excellent use of it and I really enjoy their blend of gothic pop. I wouldn't see them live, because in every live video of Francesca Chiara that i've seen she's not sounded too good... But I enjoy the CD's.
This Justin whatever his name is is exactly the sort of thing I can imagine my girlfriend listening too - she likes a beat that she can dance too. Me I like wailing guitars, because i'm a rock chick - you know, the sort of thing that the music officionado's here quite like but in reality is just a limited collection of power chords played in a few simple patterns - you know, REAL music......
Everyone likes different things, but to those people calling him a faggot because they don't like what this kid is artificially singing by means of post-production processess, I say - you're totally straight. And I meen that as an insult too.
