Mary J. Blige Is “Crazy” About Autotune
From Tvoneonline.com
If Jay-Z were to tell everyone to dress up as Batman and quack like a duck in the costume, many a follower would simultaneously channel their inner Bruce Wayne and Donald Duck. To that end, now that Jigga has realized “D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)” it should surprise no one that so many have hopped on the anti-autotune bandwagon.
However, T-Pain said he won’t stop using it, not to mention Mary J. Blige has now jumped on the trend with her new single, “The One” featuring Drake.
So what does Mary have to say about Jay’s comments?
She told Angie Martinez:
“I won’t say that it bothers me, because people do what they have to do. I can’t pass judgment. Everyone else does what they do, and everyone has their own opinion. To each his own. Do what you do, because I do what I do.”
What got her using it this late anyway?
“It was for effect. I wanted Crazy Mary to get her shine on. She couldn’t get her shine with my regular voice. I used the effect. I used it as a telephone effect or reverb.”
Can’t wait to hear what else “crazy” Mary has planned for this album.
HAPPY B-DAY DIDDY!
HOT CELEB PICS!

AH progress. I think rappers should not use autotune. Singers, its alright but dont over do it.
See that is cheating as far as am concerned. If you have a voice you should use the voice. Dont rely on things like Auto-Tune to correct the fact that you can not sing. See it used to be that you could tell if a singer really could sing live. that was the test. MJB can sing… she can sing live with no help… but now I question people who are using it in live performances… if she is I will be very sad… cheating….
I hate this frickin trend. I always have. It takes away from all the talented people who actually can sing. Now anyone and everyone can sing. I can’t sing a lick and have a tremendous amount of respect for the people with that talent. Its really not fair and irritating that music has such a turn. Money talks and it now ruined yet another art form.
Damn!! Mary too??? Death Of Gimmicks, and lets get back to talent…Your voice and lyrics should be your effect, not some dam machine…
ZAPP WAS THE BEST AND T-PAIN TOOK IT TO THE HIP HOP LEVEL…WHOEVER ELSE THAT USES IT…IS WACK…STRAIGHT UP…NOT BECAUSE JAY Z SAID IT EITHER, EVERYBODY IS SOUNDING THE DAMN SAME…I’M FROM THE ERA OF SKILLS AND LYRICS…ORIGINALITY TOO….
Bruce Willis? You Mean Bruce Wayne. “Death of Proofreading”
