Selena Gomez
Selena Marie Gomez is an American actress and singer. She is best known for songs like "Come & Get It", "Good For You", "Same Old Love", and "It Ain't Me". Selena Gomez's voice is mezzo-soprano but she usually sings in alto. She is best known for her role as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place. The fact that she uses auto-tune suggests that she is insecure. The real reason she started her singing career was after she started dating Justin Bieber. She thinks her voice could never be as good as his, but that is not true. In my opinion, using auto-tune makes her voice sound unnatural and piercing.
If she wants to gain listeners, she should express her real voice and not be shy about it. After all, her life was originally committed to acting for Disney. Dating Justin Bieber led her away from acting and into pursuing a job that doesn't seem natural for her.

He sounds so much better without it. He should not be using it at all because auto-tune does not suit his kind of voice.
Auto-tune zealot.
