I AM TPAIN!!!

There's an iPhone app out now called I Am TPain that is has Autotune. If you're unfamiliar with the term Autotune, it's computer software originally designed to be used for pitch correction in music studios. Artists have been secretly using it for years but when Cher put out her song Believe, the used Autotune for a new effect that the creators didn't originally intend. Rather than pitching the note slightly to make it sound better, they used the software to make a huge pitch jump. Ever since then, that type of sound picked up and now rather than using Autotune to sound like a better singer, the use Autotune as a feature in their music.
With the I Am TPain app, you can talk into your iPhone and it will play you voice while Autotuning it so it sounds like you're singing. Now you can sound like TPain or Kanye. I think its stupid but it really caught on.
