Default Auto-Tune use on X Factors auditions?
It appears that producers have auto-tuned certain voices, I mean just listen to the female from G&S during Don't Stop Believing, you can CLEARLY hear that her vocals have been subject of auto-tune.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvSEpZEAqfY

Also, during Shirlena Johnson's audition it is clear that producers have auto-tuned her vocals between 2:19 and 2:45.

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.

I haven't seen the episode yet, but this sickens me.

I've been saying for years that IMO the tone of the voice is more important to me than the pitch, but really X factor?

This is just treating the audience like idiots. I mean now they can autotune their favourites and just leave the others which they don't like.

I'll watch the first episode today, if it's as bad as said then I won't watch it.

I completely agree guys. Absolutely disgusting. I've written a formal complaint to ITV, if I don't get a reply I will be phoning them.

Shirlena Johnson plagiarising Duffy without realising it. Some people have absolutely no self awareness. That was dire.

I liked them before they sang, I thought they were going to be good. So I declared myself a fan before they got on stage

How sad and desperate.

I mean yes it is fine to be used in Glee or on international superstars for example.. but in a competition like this..... no. Just your pure voices please!!!!

My family can't even hear it, I'm like 'they sound like robots, why on earth can't you tell?'

Don't worry guys this matter is going to become more and more public and before long they'll be forced to do something about it!

The X Factor also made NO reference to the fact that Gisela Lee from JAHM auditioned last year alone.
