WAY too much autotune

Was with the autotune.

Wait, this had Claude Kelly involvement? No wonder I like this song so much. I like the demo a lot better, though.

I like it better than the final

Blake Shelton sounds so corny on the final

Not all the demos sh!tting on Xtina's versions

So according of the delusion in this board autotune >>> Christina & Blake's vocals, what a joke!

I wish this had went to P!nk.

Flawless

Hope we get the full, I need it.

The auto tune is to keep it in key for whomever ends up recording it, particularly if the songwriter cannot sing all the well.

auto tune mess tbh. XTINAS vocals are untouchable lets be real.

what do u expect? this is atrl

But this is just a demo. Who said it had to be that high? Keys can always be changed. It's unprofessional to send out a demo with this much blatant autotune, for a song like this. It's not some dance/club type song. If a songwriter can't properly demo a song, they need to hire someone who will.

Wtf is wrong with atrl. Saying this 30 seconds autotuned mess better than original. It sounds like a horrible cover song

Well given that a demo is not meant for the public to hear, singing a song in a certain key perhaps because you want it to appeal to an artist with a certain range is by no means impractical. I have worked in studios and with songwriters for 8 years now and this really is not that abnormal. People looking to pick songs based on demos are really listening for song structure, progressions and melody at the end of the day too, not really the demo singer's voice.

Final version >>>>>

Right, the demo singers voice isn't all that important, but when it affects the perception of the melody like this demo did, then it might be better to hire a demo singer who can hit those notes legitimately. Or at the least, apply autotune in a less obvious way, or really they should have just used Melodyne

He sounds horrible. Jesus.
