Ne-Yo Pleads For Autotune's Death

"Auto-tune was meant to be a safety net," Ne-Yo explained in an interview. "It was not supposed to be wings. You're not supposed to strap it on your back and jump off the building. That's not what auto-tune was meant to be. If you're using it for what it's meant for, cool, fine, and good -- not, 'I can't sing at all, so let's turn auto-tune all the way up so I just sound like Willy the Robot.' That wack! That's terrible! It takes all the character out of your voice and you become a robot --Take the d*mn training wheels off. That's how I feel about it." (Amaru Don TV)
