This is all over the media today. I expect they'll lose viewers with this.

We all know the show is fake in a lot of ways.. the sob-stories.. the uplifting music when they want the 'feel good' moment.. the editing designed to sway the public opinion.. but using auto tune is a step too far.

Some will try to justify it's use by saying that a high percentage of artists in the charts use it, as do TV programmes like Glee. But X-Factor is supposed to be about who can sing the best, not who's voice responds better to pitch-correction software.

I switched off midway through when it became clear they were using it, and I won't be watching any more of it this year.
