My question is, what's the point of using autotune if you can sing or rap well without it?

She is truly an amazing singer. If you've listened to her performance at the Sound of Music celebration, this is an unquestionable fact.

I think that she just wastes her voice singing music that doesn't do her justice.

Agreed. She's got a nice, powerful voice, and it shows in some of her live performances.

Her voice is incredible and doesn't need to use all the autotune she uses for her songs. Come on, have you heard her? She is incredible!

He sounds so much better without it. His voice actually doesn't sound good with autotune.

Born and raised in Bradford, ZAYN aspired to pursue a career in music from a young age leading him to audition as a solo artist for the British reality television music competition The X... read more

He has one of the rarest voices rather than many other singers, and his high notes sound much better live. Thank God he left 1D so he can open up fully. He's just so underrated and needs to advertise himself more.

The Contenders

Her four-octave vocal range has received critical acclaim, and her personal life has been the subject of widespread media attention.

Ariana Grande has a rich and powerful voice, and she really doesn't need autotune. Her voice is special on its own!

Um, she is amazing. She is inspiring and has amazing vocals. She doesn't need autotune.

Her angelic voice does not need any support. She's still great without using autotune.

12 Camila Cabello Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao, or professionally Camila Cabello (born March 3, 1997) is an American-Cuban musician. Camila was best known for being part of the girl group Fifth Harmony. Fifth Harmony are known for songs like Worth It, Work From Home, All In My Head (Flex), Bo$, and Sledgehammer. Camila... read more

She is actually a very talented singer, but her songs use autotune. I personally like her voice better without it though. I think she's underrated compared to other artists like Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, who don't have as talented of a voice as her.

Underrated and overhated by critics and fans. She can sing really well live (her solo X-factor audition got four yeses). Even if she tries a bit too hard with the emotion and high notes, she's still a good singer.

The only song she used autotune on was Havana. And that was for effect! Watch her Fallon performance.

13 Beyoncé Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, is an American singer and actress, who started out in the popular pop/r&b girl group Destiny's Child. They had multiple top 5 hits such as "No, No, No", "Say My Name", "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Survivor", "Independent Women", "Bootylicious", and "Jumpin', Jumpin" from... read more

Overrated? Yes.
Incredibly talented without autotune? Still yes.

Hate her music all you want, that girl sounds amazing live without autotune. Like all artists, she might use it for the effect and to perfect her recordings. She's only 17 and has amazing control of her voice.

She doesn't use it on her voice, but rather uses it on background effects that use her voice.

21 Avril Lavigne Avril Ramona Lavigne is a Canadian–French singer-songwriter and actress. By the age of 15, she had appeared on stage with Shania Twain; by 16, she had signed a two-album recording contract with Arista Records worth more than $2 million.
