Auto tune, you need to go AWAY.

Auto tune's been around for a few years and started with rappers, but it has now reached halfway around the world.

I've never been a fan of singers/rappers using auto tune mainly because it's absolutely pointless. There are so many "rappers" out there that use this and make money off it. RIDICULOUS! Now, legitimate singers like Mariah Carey are incorporating it in their songs. This useless program disguises actual talent and completely destroys credibility in music.

So I've been following Korean music for some time now, and it's honestly like a carbon copy of mainstream American music. However, rabid teenage fan girls and boys seem to have a fancy for boy and girl groups with 6+ people. These groups are coming out with the most auto tuned, generic, mainstream, pointless, redundant, repetitive, redundant, repetitive, redundant songs I have ever heard. Oh, and shocker-- some of these songs are either covers, samplings or blatantly ripped off of American songs. Can you guess which ones?

What happened to actual talent? You know, songs where the voice on the CD is really yours. What happened to composing your own songs? Auto tune killed all that. That's right. Thank you, auto tune, for ruining music!
