True, especially about influential connections.

But I still maintain that using auto-tune is equivalent to an Olympic or Pro Athlete using steroids.

And I know that throughout history we had had bad singers become stars, Fred Astaire, Bob Dylan, and so many more, but at least they were honest about their singing ability. They became famous being a performer or songwriter or whatever.

But to become a famous singer with the help of auto-tune just seems wrong to me.

But it seems that I am in the minority.
