Thoughts at large

Well I am certain there are cases where this digitizing of sound is an asset in music. But it's now often overused to supplant a voice that is not there [[as in no talent).

Well, when you have people becoming music stars by winning, what is essentially, a game show, what do you expect? I refuse to listen to any of the winners or runners up from these shows. I'm not that entertainment starved.

^^^ I hear you! With the options to customize what you want to stream and listen to now you can almost avoid having to hear that stuff except at certain malls or from someone's car cranking it. LOL!

Wow, you are shutting down a lot of good talent. A good example is Kelly Clarkson -- she has a stunning voice.

The contestants on these shows by and large are the "real" singers who don't get the benefit of auto-tune, and their talent or lack of becomes very apparent very quickly.

The winners generally have far greater talent than those who benefit greatly from auto-tune -- people such as Katy Perry, Rhianna, Kid Rock, etc.

Things you can always count on:

Any crap an ex-Beatle [[esp Macca) throws out there will be raved over by Beatles fanatics. It doesn't matter if it sounds like a poor rehash of a Beatles out take. thus it is with "New" - perhaps the most insipid thing Sir Paul has released in a while
