Aretha you are a lioness among house cats.
Just listening to some Aretha this morning and wondering where all the singers (real singers) have gone? I miss this kind of voice on the radio. Aretha could make you come out of your seat with just one note and do it while only accompanied by a sax or a piano. All she ever needed was a mic and a willing audience and the idea of her voice being auto-tuned and over produced just seems like blasphemy to me. This is however all that we hear on the radio now-a-days. It's taking the life out of some singers voices, it's taking their "soul" and its frustrating! I'm not saying ban all auto-tune but good God let us listen to some real singing for once. It might put actual singers back in demand. Here's another way to look at this. Auto-tune has made vocalists that record in the studio lazy. Back in the day you just did takes until you got it right. It was an art form. Now anyone who has protools ( I'm talking to you Lil' Wayne) thinks that they can be a vocalist! Ugh! I propose we start a movement to limit the amount of auto-tune you can use on an album. Who's with me!?
