Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

I actually read that AH said something like "If I knew what they could do to a voice, I would have sung."
I don't mind the autotune, really-- would you rather have had her be bad? Although I liked Nick's semi-badness.

I loved that he gave it his all, and really worked the dance routine.

Right, but SMG put it on the line, risking sounding bad before she could hear the final fixed up version. She's the one who took the chance, and a pretty big one for the star of a TV show watched by millions.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
She wasn't THAT bad. She sounded like a regular non-professional-singer person, singing. Which I thought was fine, because that's what Buffy was, anyway.

I am assuming that she must have been actually bad in order for the autotune to only make her sound like a regular person, but maybe I am misunderstanding autotune. Does it actually fix your pitch (which to me means she is "bad") or does it also make your voice sound more pleasant? I am coming at this as a regular person singer who is always on key, but I don't really have the prettiest voice.

autotune can't work miracles, or I would be on the pop charts right now.

Autotune can fix issues with pitch (and punch up weak or breathy sounding voices, IIRC), but it can't add warmth or other things that make "pretty" voices.

I loved SMG's performance in OMWF. That took real guts and she pulled it off just fine. There was no need to be a perfect singer in the context of the story. She did great!

Always Anti-fascist!
By her not thinking she had to be, I meant more that signing on as "Buffy", who would think that would happen?

So the complaint about Autotune is that it makes bad singers marketable? I've been kind of baffled by the hatred of Autotune, because I hear the songs that are apparently Autotuned, and I can't hear the complaints. They don't sound fake or computer generated, just competently sung.
