  • anyone else think that it dosebt sound anyway better ??? O_o

  • The people queuing aren't auditioning, the auditioners are pre-assessed, the comments are scripted, the format is manipulative (people put out and brought back, bad contestants deliberately put through), the voting is rigged and the audio is tampered with. Could the show be more corrupt or rotten?

  • i would use auto tune for funn but not on a frikken audition

  • Lol at Jon snow on his bike! PMSL

  • Thumbs up if you have your own Auto-tune Evo VST.

  • haha this reporter's a legend to deliberately sing off-key :'D

  • How can he say Gamu's voice was noticably better post auto-tune and then not demonstrate such a bold claim by offering a recording of her voice without it? We're supposed to take this dufus' word for it? Personally, I didn't think he sounded any better auto-tuned at all. That was him hearing what he wanted and expected to hear. What a dumbass. Having said that, X-factor DEFINITELY should not be auto-tuning. That's cheating and fake.

  • That old man sounded the same on autotune as he did originally. And while Gamu's audition was autotuned post production, her bootcamp performance was not. And we all know how great that was. :)

  • All the entertainment industry uses autotune even the presenters.

  • that journalist should go audition for x factor

  • ew autotuned gross

  • bull shit...Gamu's voice was natural not no fucking computerised shit...der just doing shit to change the mind of people who are pisssed about gamu being sent back

  • Hey Jude XD

  • the only thing I learned from this video is that this guy can't sing to save his life!

  • 3:35: We would go into manual mode and zone in bleh bleh bleh

    Or, dickhead, you could employ someone who can actually sing.

  • i thought he was about to say what the fuck lol

  • i hate x factor now 

  • so. now a pro autotune comment is in de top 2 comments.

    Lets show them it's time for a anti-autotune real music real voices revolution!

    Vote this up!

  • Gamu  have the best vocal auto tune of 2010

  • your singing sucks old man. sorry

  • This is the worst misuse of auto-tuning, I have ever heard and to witness it live on TV.

    Worse still it was done at the post production stage.

    Jeez! If they're gonna do it at least get it right guys.

    Or if you can't, get someone who can.

    If you need any help check out

    Intonational Rescue dot you know what

    and watch the experts in action

  • it actually made her sound worse, and she's amazing

  • AUTOTUNE

  • Autotune doesnt make u a good voice, just tunes the pitch. If you're a bad singer, auto tune wont make a difference. Trust me, i've tried it already !! Doesnt make any miracles :)

  • @fallencmd It corrects the pitch,if you have a shitty voice tone that can be modified as well.Yes, it performs miracles.If you have bad rhythm and can't pronounce words, then autotune wont help you very much.I worked in a professional studio and with platinum artists, which I was recently fired from.

    Formula for pop success: Attractive person + simple songs with sexual innuendos/catchy easy to sing along with phrase + autotune.

    BOYCOTT CORPORATE MUSIC

  • @fallencmd You obviously haven't seen the wonders that is Auto Tune The News.

  • @fallencmd ive been saying that for ages.... a lot of singers in bands can't hit the right pitch for shit but they got the certain something in their voice....

  • @fallencmd yeah, the most it will do is fix a decent singer sound better if they are off pitch. The problem is now a days, all the pop singers use it, and as long as they're slightly in tune, they'll sound pitch perfect to everyone else. Cheating much?

  • @fallencmd

    In the hands of a decent producer, as long as your are even slightly close, you can be turned into someone with at least an above average voice. The whole tool set of a producer is rather large and with the tools available, you can do quite a lot. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it as something that can only fix minor problems.

  • @fallencmd

    Using decent compression, EQ and a doubler effect and some reverb, you can make crappy singers sound awesome.

  • @fallencmd If you know how to work Auto-Tune at a professional level, you can use it to tweak the voice to make it sound better depending on where the singer as weak-spots.

  • @fallencmd depends on what kind of autotune/pitch correction. and the correct pitch is the main thing about singing besides emotion. to correct something is always ok, but not in this case, it's a competition and a part of the jury, the audience, gets fooled with this. sure, if you sound like shit, there is nothing you can do, but the technology has evolved a LOT. and for some voices there are even miracles possible.

  • so the expert implied he could fix the bad vocals but it would take "manual mode"

  • autotune cant even save this dudes voice..

  • The so-called auto tune expert in this clip is useless.  Try listening to what they managed to do with Antoine Dodson - Hide yo Kids...and that's just from him talking.

  • 2:49, I LOL'd

  • I LOVE the way that they thought noone would notice, its the most obvious post post productions Ive heard in a while.

  • The show is a pile of SHIT anyway

  • omg all celebs use frigging autotune!!! get a grip

  • is that an excuse for the reason cheryl chose cher instead gamu? :(

  • I can't tell hardly any difference hahahahahaha

  • He's a bad singer, he should audition next year

  • Judge: Who's your daddy? girl: T-PAIN!!!

  • i tought i could hear autotune when i was watching her perform.

  • at 00:19 wen she says life u can here the autotune

  • I can't believe anyone still watches X Factor with this damn auto-tuning crap and all the other controversies they've had. The show has absolutely no integrity.

  • GOD HES A CRAP SINGER!!!! @K1ngD35 I ya ur rite

  • lol@his helmet ;-) this dude "went down to see for himself" and they show a clip of him riding a fucking bike (armored in a retard safety helmet) like they just taught him how to ride a few minutes before they shot the footage, LMAO wtf

  • they are just trying to kill gamu's talent with all this,very funny,we are not fools,we know wright from wrong,you punks

  • u guys have time wont blame u coz u got nothing to do and lazy whites.....rubbish

  • @hagipcares4u Wow, prejudice much?

  • Feel free to add me on Twittah (betover68) to follow all my ex Factor predictiones

  • My ears must be wired wrong because I think that ole guy sounded better without the software

  • Very obvious. I heard it straight away the night it was on. Nobody sings like that. She sounds like a robot

  • this is how you knw there takin the piss,,

    caa you knw that was her natural voice were she,s

    made it sound the way it did her self ...

  • nice bike

  • At the judges houses, Gamu's performance was not altered! cheryl chose the ohter ones for racial motives.

    The British Hypocrisy is as disgusting as their "English Breakfast"!

  • Dahhtt bitchh is goingg bakk tuh Zibabwe! Loool x

  • Hey why are you insulting that poor girl. People like you are the reason why this country is going down. If you were not an idiot you would know that the economy of this country depends on everyone (whites , blacks , indians, and people from everywhere) so you should be greatfull to everyone no matter what the race. you r just an idiot who does not think. you r so naive if you think that your racisme is going to get you anywhere. you r just a stupid idiot

  • you cant autotune the audience's reaction.

  • @K1ngD35 shmoyoho can.....

  • @K1ngD35 No, but you CAN show select shots of a few idiots standing up, and increase the volume of the crowd quite easily.

  • @K1ngD35

    Your point?

  • @K1ngD35

    I have been to watch a live x factor, and the audiences reactions are filmed before the show starts with them giving standing ovations etc etc, the show is a fake

  • @K1ngD35

    yeah you can....

  • @K1ngD35 you may not be able to autotune the reaction but i have been to the auditions and they film the audience clapping during the intermission and put it into the show afterwords

  • this people are nt serious kmt

  • Oh dear god. Hey jude? Totally. Murdered.

  • Becus she is black and Africa thats why it most have been the auto tune that help her,,bull...shit.

    the thing is that if u cant sing u cant sing thats it auto tune or not .

  • this show is a sham. a lot of you probably don't remember ben mills from 2006, but he was the most original talent ever to come out of the x factor. he came third place. why? because the producers know who they want to win from the moment the live stages begin. in that year simon deliberately played down ben's performances so he could make sure leona would win. the same's gonna happen this year. they want 1 direction or cher to win so they're gonna play down other contestants.

  • @Theechosen1from1993 Oh, never mind Mary then. Because she's given such low profile on the show. /sarcasm

  • @Alexdurrant7

    ooh thanks for pointing out you were being sarcastic. i would never have guessed. i kinda guessed someone would use mary as an example, but the thing is there's no reason for the judges to worry about her. she may have one of, if not the most powerful voice in the competition and she's one of my favourites, but unfortunately when it gets near to the end of the show people aren't gonna vote for her because ultimately she's far more suited to britain's got talent.

  • @Theechosen1from1993 Ben was pretty good. But he wasnt as good as the winner. Her voice was top notch.

  • @guard0544

    true but how many other singers like leona lewis are there in the music industry? tonnes. ben was a one off for this show. if he was on it any other year he probably would have won.

  • at firt i was like rotflmao and then i was like smh and i tweet pic'd it for all my tweepoel

  • lmfao oh god -cringes-

  • hardly any difference wtf...

  • C'mon everyone, let's not say the 'N' word or shit like that.

    At the end of the day, she sucked! that's all there is to it.

  • That dude sucks at autotune.

  • yeaahh that guy stil sounds like a shit in a hole so whys everyone making a fuss

  • LMFAO. He still sounds shit. WTF is this world coming to? ..

  • Ha! Ha! She was soooooo bad even wiv autotune :-0

  • LOL, ofcourse it was auto-tuned, it was OBVIOUS. But it was only to spice up an otherwise boring song. It didn't make her voice "better", it made it sound different and awesome. You can't even call it auto-tune, because she sang completely in tune, it just altered her voice to make it sound "computery"...or something..

  • I have decided to adopt Gammo as a Foster Child whenever she's being send back to the dark continent. Only £5/month but every littlle helps as mary would say

  • This guy obviously doesn't work for Glee...

  • she has too goog voice

  • Heeeey, what of this so-called "integrity" did this show have in the first place?

  • Comment removed

  • Auto tune has been in for years, take a Keyboard for instance connect to a Computer using the software you can change pitch, tempo, timing and loop a sequence.

  • autotune is the music standart thistime ..

  • wat those gamu picture got to do wit this stupid racis people

  • @dory91dd How are they racist? Shutup you ignorant fool.

  • @HomeTownChik is that all u got stupid.... soo call hometown chik..

  • @dory91dd You are so not worth the bother, wanting to have an arguement on Youtube. Just shutup.

  • it's such a boring performance from a wannabe scot. Incredibly bad, she has the personality of a dead fish and don't understand what the fuss is all about. She should go back to africa or whateva

  • who has talent doesn't need auto-tune but if he use it it will be better. on the other hand, who has no talent nothing would work with it even auto-tune. so shut the hell up!!

  • please don't ever sing again

  • @Martinguj2008 OMG how old are you, did you expect Frank Sinatra...geesh

  • AND YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY!!! DEMMIT!

  • people can see how a fool you can be whoever you are reporter! you're the stupidest and dumbest reporter I've ever seen! Chipmunks are autotune do not tell me you don't know that!!! X-FACTOR HAVE LIVE SHOWS DON'T THEY??!!! THEY CAN'T AUTOTUNE RIGHT ON THE SPOT IDIOT!!!

  • @JulioRodenas They can...you can get software that can be designed to fit your voice and make it better while singing live...but it has to be designed for a specific person. If you sell out millions on tours then they could use it.

  • @JulioRodenas Well actually they have the program for that

  • stupid idiots!!! you still sound like craps fuckin' fools!!!

  • It used to be a proper talent show now its just about the views and the money!

  • WTF she has a great voice anyway i dont know what the fuss is about

  • hahaha great song choice, sounds better than x factor contestants

  • If they are changing each persons voice, then what is the problem they aren't giving an unfair advantage to some and not others.... also what was the deal with that bike?

  • @TheJosh091 The freaks don't get it do they

  • FAIL

  • John riding the bike in a suit....CLASSIC!

  • no one cares she fantastic i cant belive cherly didnt put her through she was the best one out of the girls. sometimes i really hate the judges opinion sometimes.

    GOD!

  • evryone thinks there sooo clever now jus coz there like'THERES AUTOTUNE IN THIS'shit,DUH there is,newsbreak xfactors been like this from day1-cut/copy/n' paste reactions,over-react judges,super patronise presenters,backround music for dramatic affect,over the moon exagurations,fake simon n lewie dispute every live show,zoom in zoom out,EVERYTHING come on its a show like any fictional show ya cant take it all as real,jus illogical!you HAVE to take it with a pinch of salt cause its JUST a SHOW

  • this music producer SUCKS at auto-tune

  • Comment removed

  • @tomisinakatkid thnk u!!!! they cud`ve used alot of other contestants..u kno char maybe or even that katie gal but..noooo they had to use gamu!

    that gal is amazing. end of. if this auto tune made people sound better even if they have no talent, then how come some people are really crap even with the auto tune!

  • eh it sounds the exact same!

  • this is just bullshit

  • That was unfair to plaster Gamu's face all over the news, especially when they're all getting the auto treatment...that will have influenced the decision to drop Gamu from final 3. Fricking media can make or break you in a second.

  • bs not a very gud test no case here

  • @VanargrandsEnd, you really believe that shows on TV like the X factor are raw vocal talent shows? I am sorry but you are very naieve. Of course there is auto tuning, they want to make the sound better for the audience at home.

    I don't know how many concerts you have seen, but I have seen a lot and still going and the albums sure don't sounds like the live version. I like the live versions more because of the real raw sounds and the album versions are tuned, no doubt about it.

  • Hello! Every recording artist uses autotune and all kinds of remastering and more of that technical shit. Do you really think that most artist have a really great voice. COME ON! This is to typicall, there is no news so let's make some news...

  • @noortje25 im sorry that is not true there are alot of artists that do not auto-tune. So please get that right mate, and this is news because xfactor is supposed to be an unbiased raw vocal talent show , which clearly it no longer is.

  • no difference NONE AT ALL

  • bless him singing hey dude, he sounded like cliff richard with the auto tune =D

  • LOL!! Pitch perfect my ass. He sounded just as bad

  • no change ..

  • You can tell if something is auto tuned because it has a slight watery sound or liquid change from one note to another. But basically Yes that woman did have vocal effects in post production edited to her voice. Just ask any music major or musician.

  • @MrRobbiePhillips what do you know you wanker,i bet your missuses voice changes when she is takin it up the arse the slag

  • @petertownend Wow, you sound like a LOVELY guy!

  • must have been a slow news day lol

  • This doesn't show how powerful it really is so people might think, 'Oh Auto-tune is not that special', but trust me, it is MUCH more powerful than this shows

  • It is in fact cheating. They used Gamu who actually can sing to make the effects look less drastic. I've used these things for many years. It makes rubbish people sound decent(in tune). You could even use oscillation and automation on bars to make it seem better. It's much more easier to notice in person with proper examples

  • ITS THE SAME!!!!!! What is the scandal? There is no scandal!

  • @canse912 @goldbliss Automatic auto-tune is for people that can sing normal(you dont have to be exceptionally brilliant singer).

    Manually auto-tuning(lol) is for people that cant sing, it is handy for studio works

    so u see, you missed the point, the girl can sing, but her perfection was brought to the level of the singing legends of all time via auto-tuning , and that is whats considered offensive by many talented singers

  • lol is this a joke?? its to make ur voice sound more or less perfect .. but if ur rubbish it cant exactly arrange it!!

  • no diff at all!! still rubbish with auto tunning!! lol

  • I do remember thinking there was something about how everyone's voices were sounding but I thought nah maybe I'm just hearing things.

  • LOVE IT!

  • its a shame that gamu's audition was the one everyone highlighted, as she's showed she can sing without it! n that dude still sounded like a fart in a bucket so fuck knows why everyone cryin

  • @norwoodTPM cos shes black and she can sing lol well thats what i think

  • @norwoodTPM Nigs are more for chanting and dancin around a pole.

    When in the west??, Claiming benefits.. End of..

  • @norwoodTPM gamu can sing yeh, but she wasnt the best anyway, she can try again next year.. she needs to get better

  • @joetri10 up untill the point she left her performance at bootcamp was the strongest! i cant say she was the best, but she had the most potential! hopefully we do see her next year!

  • Using autotune is like going to a fine restaurant and cheapen the whole experience by pouring salt and vinegar over all the food. Its a tacky tool.

  • Comment removed

  • I swear that is the way she sings ? people are rude.

  • " yeah its all perfect pitch now, deffo " like he's thinking " i sound the balls, forget this journalism thing "

  • it sounds exactly the same...

  • ITV trying to make x factor look good........what else do you expect there gonna do with there cash cow ?

  • hahaha...."hey jude, dont make it bad" oh god what a load of crap!

  • @LilMissMary90 looooooooooooooooool

    

  • they shud kiss my ass with this autotune software

  • HAHHAHAHAHAHAH! his voice is sooo awkard, *cringe!

  • HAHHAHAHAHAHAH!

  • yea i am sure that this amazing girl paid to x factor productions auto tune his voice... she is just amazing i love her voice... i like old ppl but some of them are so wtf!! stupid

  • ah, that i get it. she have to be sued for that.

    go for MUST BE THE MUSIC

  • oh for goodness sake. Why did we need to see him riding there in his latest health and safety plonker kit.  *sigh*

  • He is shit either way. I didn't notice any difference.
