Im 14 and I really wish I were around to see them in the 60s but they are still incredible. I listen to this song probably 5 times a day from the pure beauty of the vocals and lyrics. Even if its autotuned, they are both almost 70 years old, it doesnt take away what they did to music. And nothing can match that.
@therainmaster288 Please tell me you are kidding. They are not autotuned....shit, you are so ignorant. It's called talent. And musicians used to have it.
There not as good as the Beatles or Beach boys but they are up there on the list. Very powerful songs. I am 29 years old and I can appreciate good music before my time. When songs actually meant something. I love Garfunkels voice. Almost as good as a good Paulgasm.
It is clear and obvious that Art is autotuned here - no matter how many people try to deny it it's there for anyone who vaguely knows what autotune is. However, I don't believe it was added to correct pitch, I think Art was already beginning to suffer with vocal problems and the autotune synthetically strengthens the sound. The use of autotune is fact, the reason for use is opinion.
@evans2610 Garfunkel is not autotuned. Anyone whose followed their careers for years knows that Garfunkel's voice is still as strong as it was years ago.
@JamesA46 I have followed their careers for years, they had to cancel a tour because Garfunkel couldn't sing, not that his voice wasn't strong even, that he couldn't even sing. Anyone with ears can tell this is autotuned. My point is that this isn't even a debate - you can hear it clearly that there is the digital/mechanical sound to his voice. It's not even subtle. I'm a massive fan of Simon and Garfunkel and I'm not criticising I just fail to understand the people who can't hear it!
@evans2610 If you have been following Simon and Garfunkel since the 1960's you would know along with other groups that use tight harmony, the back up musicians subtly play in the same key as the vocals many times making it sound that the voice is extending much longer when in fact it is the muscians instrument that is doing it. This is nothing new.
@evans2610 Groups have been using this methodoligy since the begining of recorded music. It's called having a tight playing band and the musicians used in this tour were some of the best in the business...and people do get sick sometimes and can't sing.
Art Garfunkel probably has the purest voice among non-African/black (sorry..im not with political correctness) singers ive ever heard. Just so pitch perfect and pure to the notes.
His power and air isnt what it once was, but thats not a big deal....he still has it.
In other news, he looks just like Yitzhak Rabin now...lol.
all the 'autotune' stuff is KILLING me. art has perfect pitch. he wouldn't get on stage if he couldn't do it. it's why he's not singing right now (12/2011 - his vocal cord paresis). also - he's soft with timbre when he's LOW, clear and sharp HIGH; listen to his recordings when he was young. it's possible THIS recording was cleaned, but i've listened to a non-clean recording - art was not corrected. he gets cleaner the higher he gets; that's true to form for art. as for paul - he's had LESSONS ;)
They are a pair of those who know friendship best, singing songs of them over 40years. There are many things we should learn from them. I'd never think they are old as their songs never get old.
@lightbar11 In their early years, Simon would have said they weren't commercial (read: plastic and manufactured) enough. In their later years Simon would say they weren't contemporary enough. I'm am totally convinced X Factor would have passed on Simon and Garfunkel. The show produces music that is mediocre at best, horrible at worst.
Anyone who can't hear autotune is a fucking idiot. Justifying that they're not using it because they're "old legends" from an era before our shitty manufactured music is complete bullshit. I'm a music producer and can tell you 100% that autotune has been added either by the sound engineers or in post production. I'm not saying they can't sing without it, but I wish old farts would learn what autotune actually is and sounds like before commenting on it all the time.
@mynameisjongreen Thank you. Nobody is denying the talent of these two performers, but this performance was autotuned, and quite badly too. I listened to some regular bootlegs of the tour and while it doesn't sound as "perfect" as it sounds here, it still sounds very good and that's WITHOUT autotune. People age, voices get lower. It's a fact of life.
It's all an opinion, just because some of us don't think they are using autotune doesn't makes us idiots. Why can't people just speak for 10 minutes without name calling in this generation?
I love how these children below me say it's auto-tune. You guys are hilarious .... seriously, legends like these using auto-tune? That is their voice!
I know a guy who was back stage for this because he's worked with Bruce and by talking to him I can assure you that they were NOT autotuned. Honestly, Simon & Garfunkel autotuned? I hate to be abrasive but, are you an idiot or do you honestly think Rock n' Roll legends would use a machine to sing? These are real musicans. I know they are hard to come across these days but when they do happen to appear don't demean them with machines. What you're hearing is Art's falsetto brought on by his age.
What?? Autotune my ass. I'm sick of pple calling 'autotune' every time they hear anyone that can acctually sing.. Is it that 'lilt' in Garfunkels voice ur talkn about? 'cause that's always been there. That's the way he sounds.
seriously you guys wouldnt know autotune if it kicked you in the butt,, what you heard was the voice and of two two legends, you would of thought that as they get older their voices would have been deteriorating byt their gets even better with age NO AUTO TUNE. thats just that my friend
it is autotune, there is no question about, if you had any knowledge in recording techniques and shit like that you would know. doesn't make them any less good though.
@shevegen I'm sorry that you're such a "dedicated fan" that you can't accept that vocal chords wear down as you get older. i record music and know about music recording and performance enhancers, and you can clearly hear the metallic twang that happens most often when they hit a particularly off note. if you listen to their old versions of this song and this one you can tell. stop letting your emotions towards this song and the fact that you like it blind you from the obvious truth.
@fawnandrabbit Do you have a specific example (as in, a part of this video) in which this "metallic twang" occurs? Nothing really sounds unusual to me. And come now, you can't actually use the "it sounds different from their old stuff" argument. You said it yourself. Vocal chords wear down, and it's only natural that their voices sound different now than they used to. As a matter of fact, it would be ridiculous to expect their voices to sound the same.
Autotune is meant for people who can't sing. Art's voice and pitch are naturally so perfect that he doesn't need autotune. People just think that if singer sings quite perfectly (Like Art) he must be using autotune because nowadays there are not many singers in popular music who have as good of a voice control as Art Garfunkel has.
And Paul Simon is a very good singer too, to be honest.
If someone wrote a statement saying that another group where 'Easily as influential and powerful as the Beatles' I would be really pissed, But when you listen to these two men and take in the beauty of their song writing and glorious harmonies...very different to the Beatles but I would say they are both different and similar. The similarity is that there will NEVER be anything like these two groups. Both geniuses. :)
@bigcack48 I had to check. Some sources say Paul is 5'3" others say 5'2" - he's still taller than me. 5'1" but that's at least a thought that someone almost as short as me can still make it big.
And to repeat myself one last time, so you hopefully can understand: What I also mean with my comment is that anybody could easily say that they were an expert because they want people to believe on them. On youtube you can be anybody you want. Then you suddenly have to "experts" with to different opinions. Which one is right? Who has based his comment just on the background of his own opinion? We don't know. ;-)
As I said to @ looniedog .............. I think you have misunderstood me. I did never said that I could hear whether they use auto-tune or not. I can't. Well, I have my guesses and opinions, but the same applies for me as for others. My opinion isn't for sure correct because you simply can't be 100% sure by hearing.
its in high quality... that doesn't mean autotuned. If you want to hear autotune listen to Cher- believe... that is a classic case of autotune. Now compare the two. Just because Simon and Garfunkel are amazing at what they do doesn't mean they fake it. They are one of the few who are just that good
What I also mean with my comment is that anybody could easily say that they were an expert because they want people to believe on them. On youtube you can be anybody you want. Then you suddenly have to "experts" with to different opinions. Which one is right? Who has based his comment just on the background of his own opinion? We don't know. ;-)
I just wanted everybody to know that know hat when they performed this song live at the MSG they did NOT used autotune (as can be heard from the live videos filmed by Youtubers who were present). The autotune for this "official" HD video has been added in the post-production. When they sing live, every now and then there are a few slight imperfections (and there has always been, even in their best days), but nothing that would need autotune. I don't know why it's been added afterwards. 2010's..?
This is not a criticism, but it does appear that the MSG performances were auto-tuned. There isn't ONE note out of tune, it's pitch perfect. If you Listen to every other early LIVE performance from the due, they do go slightly wrong now and then (they are human after all) Awesome gig though! Long live S&G! xx
@pazman2007 Oh no!!! I think you are right... listen at 6:55 when he said "falls so hard". It almost sounds too robotically perfect. I hope this was only done in post-production. Even so, the person who made that decision should be ashamed.
Ok, if your not from the 60's, you "may not", I didn't say "do not", know what I'm talking about. I am from the 60's and this is like an anthem to the 60's in a sense. These guys were so huge, you wouldn't even believe it, or maybe you would, but I'm so thrilled to see them both together singing this great song that they made popular. Marc Trainor.
I may be wrong but this doesn't sound auto-tuned to me at all. But I do believe that that Garfunkel's voice isn't as strong as it once was - of course. Therefore, there are some sound effects to cover up.
I think the artificial "sheen" ppl are going on about is just youtube video compression. That and two slightly wobbly aging voices. Absolute legends who always want to do their very best for an audience, and have cancelled numerous concerts when thier voices haven't been right, they'd rather quit than use autotune. I always have felt that their tuning is perfect to the point that you'd think autotune was around in the 60's!
hate too seem mean..but we have to take the 2 dislike ppl out back behind the BARN and slap some sense into them....in time they will thank us for showing them the way
Their voices are not young anymore but in some way it makes this song even more haunting. It goes to prove that most memorable singing is not just hitting every note perfect but to stir up your soul; to the point of shedding tears.

It makes me so sad knowing that I probaly will never see them perform life.
I would give the world to go to a performance of them. Never have i heard two voices match in such a beautiful way.

its in high quality... that doesn't mean autotuned. If you want to hear autotune listen to Cher- believe... that is a classic case of autotune. Now compare the two. Just because Simon and Garfunkel are amazing at what they do doesn't mean they fake it. They are one of the few who are just that good

What I also mean with my comment is that anybody could easily say that they were an expert because they want people to believe on them. On youtube you can be anybody you want. Then you suddenly have to "experts" with to different opinions. Which one is right? Who has based his comment just on the background of his own opinion? We don't know. ;-)

I just wanted everybody to know that know hat when they performed this song live at the MSG they did NOT used autotune (as can be heard from the live videos filmed by Youtubers who were present). The autotune for this "official" HD video has been added in the post-production. When they sing live, every now and then there are a few slight imperfections (and there has always been, even in their best days), but nothing that would need autotune. I don't know why it's been added afterwards. 2010's..?

I highly doubt these guys would use auto tune. they are too good, they have been singing this song for 50 years together.

This is not a criticism, but it does appear that the MSG performances were auto-tuned. There isn't ONE note out of tune, it's pitch perfect. If you Listen to every other early LIVE performance from the due, they do go slightly wrong now and then (they are human after all) Awesome gig though! Long live S&G! xx

@pazman2007 Oh no!!! I think you are right... listen at 6:55 when he said "falls so hard". It almost sounds too robotically perfect. I hope this was only done in post-production. Even so, the person who made that decision should be ashamed.

Ok, if your not from the 60's, you "may not", I didn't say "do not", know what I'm talking about. I am from the 60's and this is like an anthem to the 60's in a sense. These guys were so huge, you wouldn't even believe it, or maybe you would, but I'm so thrilled to see them both together singing this great song that they made popular. Marc Trainor.

I may be wrong but this doesn't sound auto-tuned to me at all. But I do believe that that Garfunkel's voice isn't as strong as it once was - of course. Therefore, there are some sound effects to cover up.

Art Garfunkel still has that sweet tone in his voice! Their songs will live forever !

I think the artificial "sheen" ppl are going on about is just youtube video compression. That and two slightly wobbly aging voices. Absolute legends who always want to do their very best for an audience, and have cancelled numerous concerts when thier voices haven't been right, they'd rather quit than use autotune. I always have felt that their tuning is perfect to the point that you'd think autotune was around in the 60's!

Their voices are not young anymore but in some way it makes this song even more haunting. It goes to prove that most memorable singing is not just hitting every note perfect but to stir up your soul; to the point of shedding tears.
