We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm with le nubian. All of the voices seem 'augmented' to me, especially Kurt's and Finn's. And Artie, much as I like his natural voice. Mercedes, much less so. I think hers is the least produced.
