  • Hi - great to find your expose of XFactor using Auto-tune. You are completely right. It is deceitful of X Factor to fool the TV audience watching and voting (= paying) for singers in a singing competition. So it indicates to me that, for Simon Cowell & his gang, STORY alone sells and singing doesn't matter one little bit! I find myself very disappointed in X Factor 2010. Admitting to it, does not excuse it. Get rid of it please X Factor!

  • subtle? more like overdose of auto-tune. every note is auto-tuned.

see all

  • Who is he talking about when he says something about "her voice sounding like that" ??

  • come on. i know tons of bands which have lead singers which DO sing note perfect live. and you can tell by their records, because you can hear their breath, so it isnt autotuned in that way, and you can tell if their singing right by whether their breath is controlled so you can tell that they can control the diaphram!!

    There have been plenty of singers who couldn't sing for decades who are legends

  • @alex123superface Years ago though, If you couldn't sing you wouldn't have made records.Now even if you can't sing,you can still sell records.The music industry is going down hill.

  • @xxtasha10xx

    mainly because it hadn't been invented then. if it had been, Elvis, Queen, Michael Jackson, all those guys would have used it.

  • @roccoparks

    Chico is MOST DEFINITELY a novelty act. Get your facts right

    It's Chico time!

    Yeah, totally legitimate artist.

  • @xxtasha10xx

    That's not actually true. There are many singers and musicians who are fully on top of their musical knowledge and skill, you just tend not to get them on the X Factor. If you look in the right places you can find a lot of music today that blows most old time music out of the water.

    You're just not gonna find that in the X Factor or indeed anything associated with Simon Cowell.

  • @griiseknoen do you say Sub-tal?
