    I wonder if tpain still uses it.. heard some of his newer songs lately and I'm not sure if he uses it.

    Autotune can be good but wayne overuses it on no ceilings which makes it sound bad

    I only like it in small doses

    so many songs I do think would sound so much better without autotune

    autotune definitely added to the feel of 808s. it can be good if used in the right ways

    Kanye West did it so well on 808s & Heartbreak and these artists still are trying to match it (and are failing miserably).

    It's not just rappers. Justin Vernon uses autotune.

    I reject the idea that anyone is to "blame" for it. Autotune can be great.

    T-Pain/Wayne made auto-tune popular back in the day.

    Cher was the first one to commercially record with auto-tune back in '98

    Auto tune used to be a good thing when T-Pain was using. Only artist I ever really enjoy listenin' with heavy usage of the auto tune. Sucks to my ears nowadays with newer guys using it. As for Wayne, like somebody said, he is overusing it and it's kinda annoying.
