Top 10 Singers Who Don't Need Auto-tune to Sing

Some singers waste their voices by bashing them by using autotune. I think those singers deserves to do songs without autotune.
The Top Ten
1 K.S. Chithra Krishnan Nair Shantakumari Chithra, often credited as K. S. Chithra or simply Chithra, is an Indian playback singer from Kerala. Chithra also sings Indian classical, devotional, and popular music.

She gains respect not only from her fans but other international singers as well. That is because she has pure talent, not a product of auto-tune..

Most versatile singer. She has multiple voice shades and tone and has an unique ability to modulate voice naturally without the help of digital technology.

Chithra has an incredible range, doesn't need autotune.

2 Jackie Evancho Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. Evancho's latest album 'The Debut', was her eighth consecutive ...read more.

Specific mention was made by Jackie herself at the Songwriter's Hall Of Fame installation dinner (where she sang, and was a presenter) that her latest studio album "Awakening" was made without the use of AutoTune. And that it took a little longer, but in the end, she got it right.

Performers need autotune, just like they need loud discordant background music and pyrotechnics and distractions to mask the fact they really, really, have no innate talent. Jackie Evancho is an artist. A vocal perfectionist. Jackie Evancho is the real deal.

4/23/19 Jackie Evancho just added Freddie Mercury to her list of famous singers she's covered doing 'Find Me Somebody To Love'. She crushed it!

Autotune? Hahaa... Allow yourself 15 seconds for a YouTube "JACKIE EVANCHO SINGING FOR HER FANS IN HOTEL". This is the real deal, folks.

3 Freddie Mercury Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara, 5th September 1946 - 24th November 1991) was a Zanzibari-born British singer of Indian descent, songwriter and record producer, known as the lead vocalist and songwriter of the British rock band Queen. He also became known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave ...read more.

Freddie Mercury's voice sounds like an instrument being played. If you've heard Bohemian Rhapsody you know what I'm talking about. He is an absolute joy to listen to and the best when it comes to vocals.

He needs autotune I saw his many footages of many songs including bohemian rhapsody well he needs a little bit of autotune

He needs to be first. He has the best voice ever. Whenever I hear him, I fall in love with him and his voice.

He didn't even use autotune, their was none back in his day

He's also in side-project groups such as The Network, Foxboro HotTubs, Pinhead Gunpowder, ...read more.

He has a powerful voice. And for sure, he doesn't need auto tune at all. Watch him live and you'll see it too! He's among some legends like Freddie, Michael, Kurt, Axl and Jon, who actually don't need autotune. The sad thing is that the POP GIRLS nowadays have taken over the music industry who have no musical skill. They've made their careers over autotune and their 'bodies'

The lead singer of Green Day. I listened on YouTube when he sang "American Idiot" on stage. I loved his voice

I always knew what a great singer he is but since I was him on Broadway as St Jimmy and the absolute smash it.

He was better back in the American idiot era, but he still kills it on stage, even today.

5 Christina Aguilera Christina María Aguilera is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer, best known for songs such as "Beautiful", "Genie In A Bottle", "Fighter", "Hurt", "Dirrty", "Your Body", "Lady Marmalade", "Reflection", "I Turn To You", "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" "What A Girl Wants", and "Candyman".

Christina is an amazing singer and could do just as well with out auto-tune, she is a beautiful amazing singer and should not be using auto-tune!

Never been a huge fan, but I'm glad she don't use auto tune

Because she's...the best I've heard her live

6 Robert Plant Robert Anthony Plant (born 20 August 1948) is an English musician, singer, and songwriter best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the rock band Led Zeppelin.

Best rockstar voice heard so far

7 Amy Lee Amy Lynn Hartzler, known professionally as Amy Lee, is an American singer-songwriter, classically trained pianist and composer. She is also the lead singer to the Arkansas band Evanescence.

9 Audrey Gallagher Audrey Gallagher is a singer from Moneyglass, Northern Ireland. She is best known for providing the vocals for the band Scheer and on John O'Callaghan's songs "Big Sky" and "Bring Back the Sun".

10 Kurt Cobain Kurt Cobain was born February 20, 1967, in Aberdeen, Washington. In 1987, he started the grunge band Nirvana, which became one of the most successful bands ever. He was a talented yet troubled grunge performer. Kurt Cobain became a rock legend in the 1990s with his band. He committed suicide at his Seattle home in 1994.
