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.
Oh, that's AutoTune? yuck.
Hubby and I went to see Battleship today (such cheesy fun!) and at a crucial moment they were using AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" in a montage. It struck me how much 70's/80's power rock still gets used in action movies. Is the power rock genre too old school? These movies are aimed at the usual young male audience, I imagine, and I'm surprised that music that's probably older than most of the demographic is being used.
I can't really hear auto tune (except for in songs like I' on a boat) but my understadning s that they sutotune everyone of glee. But, there are people (Lea Michele, Jenna Ushkawitz) who have clearly been able to sing in other context. So that is confusing.

My niece Kim, the heavy metal rock goddess, thinks 70s/80s power rock is AWESOME. Metallica is the grandfather of everything she loves.
She's 29 now, but she's been "into" it for ten years.
It just strikes me as odd that there doesn't seem to be a modern equivalent. Or maybe I'm not watching the movies were that shows up.
A modern equivalent to power rock? Isn't it power rock? With added rap options? There's a lot of headslamming music out there still--I'm not hip with the cool kids, but my fuck-yeah playlist grows by inches when I give up and Shazam the TV every now and again (though I have to admit *nothing* has been better than Fort Minor's Remember My Name in the past few years--DUDE).
yeah, I actually couldn't take it when they autotuned Lea on Glee. I think they did it because otherwise her songs wouldn't sound the same as the others, but damn.
I think once you have autotuned pointed out to you (that isn't the metallic sound, but the Glee version) you can't un-hear it.
Autotune makes everyone sound like they're singing through their nose, pretty much. I don't hate it,but a little goes a long way.
Even when it's not overdone like that, it still can be pretty obvious. It's one of the reasons I was never able to get into the show Glee. The obvious autotune made me grind my teeth.
I can see why they'd need it for Heather Morris, since she's a dancer rather than singer (that they insist on having as the lead singer in too many big production numbers). But when they use it on Lea Michelle it really pisses me off.
Why use autotune, when an older technology exists known as "lipsynch"?
I ddn't really mean to make this the Glee thread, but do they autotune the "live" performances I am going to assue that this, which is Darren Criss and Naya Rivera singing live but not at an official glee event is not autotuned? [link]
