Autotune the News


While I'm on the subject of Autotune, I can't pass up talking about Autotune the News. With the popularity of Autotune, its gotten to the point where a lot of "artists" don't even bother trying to sing at all, they just talk and let Autotune do all the work. This lack of effort inspired a band called The Gregory Brothers to try something new, Autotuning things that weren't supposed to be music to begin with.
They take news clips and Autotune them to make them into songs, throwing in other material by green screening themselves into the news clips. They also Autotuned the clip of Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMA's. Its quite hilarious that his "unintentional singing" sounds pretty much just like his songs on his album.



I think its great that they're making fun of the whole hip hop autotuned genre by making music out of clips of people talking.
