You were the one accusing me of being an elitist. You said I listened to music with auto tune and I replied no. Then it was you who criticized. I said it before and I'll say it again, I call it like I see it, not determine it's worth or quality. And once again the comment of "as if they didn't exist already" is inaccurate. People who weren't very good or non artistic or even students have always existed. Just not on the stages or on the cover of magazines like now. People listen and watch this stuff cause it's fun or for an even more basic pleasure, they just like it. That's fine. You can like what you want, but just cause there's a guitar on the stage, in your hands, doesn't make you a musician or instrumentalist. If I throw paint at the canvas, does that make me an artist? Music, song and entertainment are three different things but don't hand me 50 cent and tell me it's Mozart. Don't give me Thomas Dolby and tell me it's cool. Just give it to me for what it is.
Sean Paul = Entertainer
Loads of money in the entertainment industry! I advise you to get into that line of work if it's money you want.
I didn't accuse you of being an elitist you are BEING an elitist. The music you listen do probably does use autotune. Until you can prove it doesn't it's more reasonable to assume it does since it's a standard effect in music production, regardless of style or skill.
Furthermore, your point of view is just getting ludicrous now. Mainstream music for the past 50+ years has been compromised of very uneducated, and limited musicians. This has ALWAYS been the case. It's no different now than it was 20, 30 years ago.
