Ne-Yo Slams Auto-Tuned singers


Singers who heavily rely on Auto-Tune has been criticized by singer Ne-Yo.

The use of voice altering machine is good as a "safety net" and not to help those who can't sing at all,says the singer.

"Auto-Tune was meant to be a safety net. You sing and sing and sing and you don't want to blow your throat out trying to do the same note a thousand different times," he told Amuru TV.

"It was not meant to be wings. You weren't supposed to strap it to your back and jump off the building."

He continued: "The best singers [use it], because the truth of the matter is, as time progresses, there's going to be a note or two that falls out of place, and Auto-Tune catches it and pulls it back with everything else.

"Not, 'I can't sing at all, so let's turn Auto-Tune all the way up so that I just sound like [a] robot. That's whack, that's terrible. It takes all the character out of your voice. You hear it on the radio and go, 'who is that?' because everybody sounds the same."
