Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Who do you think is the most autotuned? I kind of think Kurt and Finn.

Mercedes, Rachel and Santana seem to have more "real" (unadultered) voices.

The finale had a lot of really bad lipsynching by the club. When Lea started "To Sir with Love," I could immediately tell she was just a hair off, and so were the rest of the cast on that song. Very sloppy.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Melisma is a pretty specific term. It refers to a series of notes sung on one syllable. [link]

I think Kurt just has a really pure falsetto. I don't think he's auto-tuned.

Finn? Bless his heart.

Pardon my ignorance - what's autotuning?

It's how she'll start just off pitch and then hit the note.

Scooping.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am pretty sure that nearly all the voices are auto-tunes on Glee. It is a shame because I understand the singers have naturally great voices that don't need autotune, so I'm not sure why they use it so much.
