ProTip: Set your autotune plugin to the same key as the song you are singing.

Sad when a dog can out-autotune you: http://videosift.com/video/Mishka-autotunes-better-than-the-chubby-chick

CollegeHumor is the source of the alleged Raw Feed, which, if real, would be "Ke$ha without Autotune".

This is not the alleged Raw Feed.

The alleged Raw Feed sounds fine. The link to it is here on in thread as you know.



The video author did not or can not match the correct pitch to this live track using a recorded instrumental track. The attempt was to show how bad the artist is. This goes beyond the Raw Feed, and is deceptive because this isn't what the Raw Feed sounds like, and it is presented as equal.

I say the two are not equal. You can say they are, but they are not. I'm not talking about it anymore.

Of course you're welcome to like what ever you like. Liking something doesn't make it quality.
You can like Kesha but it doesn't make it in tune, or masterful music.
You can like Jackass because it makes you laugh but it doesnt make it cinematic excellence.
There are people who have dedicated their lives to mastering the techincal skills or creating quality music. And you don't have to like it... but it doesnt make their life and experience any less valuable.
You look like an idiot for boasting about a basic tertiary education and getting personal and pissy because people are criticizing music you like and is widely popular... but requires computer software to even make it sound in tune.


I am not "boasting" about my life. You are completely missing my point. I actually think my life is fairly mediocre. But the point is that I am a real person, and just because you don't like something doesn't make it any less valid to another human being.

I'm not saying that everybody should like it. I'm saying you are not the arbiter of what is art. It does not require talent, it does not require dedication. Of course these things help the artist express what they want to express, but any idiot off the street can weld two tin cans together and call it art, and you would have no right to say "This isn't art because he isn't talented and dedicated." Art requires only an idea and an effort to make it manifest.

You can say you don't like it. You can say you think it is frivolous. You can say that you don't relate to it on a personal level. You can say you think it is out of tune. But don't say "This isn't art." How arrogant. She could be strumming random chords and chanting nonsense syllables in atonal screeching and it would still be art if that was how she chose to express herself.

Excellence is an opinion. Good or bad is an opinion. Skilled or not is an opinion. Art is whatever the artist says is art. That's not up to you.

By the way, this is also 'Musical art': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS-VvIcfSuw

My point is
--- this sift description is deceptive (which it wouldn't be if one just sifted the AUDIO unaltered from CH, which also isnt confirmed to be really her but would be a lot of effort to fake...even though there is a fake one from CH with a convincing soundalike)
and
-- is pointless to use for any real point of comparison whatsoever.

This is essentially a mockery, and more accurately a bastardization and waste of everyones time.
A parody would attempt to be funny, you're correct... this video IS "funny", but the author was trying to mock the person sans cleverness... so i guess it would be a matter of opinion on that, really.
Also, its not a simple mix in context. If you read how he altered it, you will understand this.
any other questions??


This is exactly what the title says. Kesha without autotune. It's a live feed plus the music from the studio track. You can look up other versions of her singing this song live, it's almost exactly the same. No autotune.

The description of the mix is straightforward. He adjusted the music down a half step to match the pitch she sings it live. That's all.

Why don't you just admit that you misunderstood what the guy was writing in his description? This is a non-issue.

so here is where all the autotune drama went, hay now.

I agree, but the point of these types of songs has always been their comedic value, not musical quality.
>> ^westy:
why is it that often people that make music are incapable of making stuff that does not sound really similar.
This is not bad but its like , pogo, auto tune the news , you hear one of there songs and then all the future ones use pretty much the exact same structure tonality and pacing.



Yah i agree with that largely especially with auto-tune the news , but pogo and this guy I don't think they are purely or primeraly going for comedic effect. evan if the song was enterly for comedic effect I think it would be better if each one had different overall musical qualities to them.

Still they are all pretty good songs on grand scheme of things I just see it as waisted potential and my ADD needs new things constantly.

>> ^vaire2ube:

again, description for this sift from YT:
I got the audio of Kesha (or Ke$ha if you're a purist) from College Humor dot com. Then, I took the instrumental track of Your Love Is My Drug, pitched it down one half-step from the studio version to match her vocals, and layered her vocal track on top of it. - Tim burt
i have too much time on my hands but its because im so good at doing nothing. also shouldnt this be in different channel like parody or comedy? and shouldnt i be doing something more productive??


vaire2ube, What is your point? Somebody uploaded the raw feed from a live performance (here), then somebody else mixed it with the studio recording for context. It's not a parody.

Also, @raverman: You can shove your opinion of what is good and what is "merely" entertainment. I like Kesha's music. I am an adult human being with a bachelor's degree who has listened to a whole lotta music during my life, and performed quite a lot as well. If you don't like Kesha, that's fine. Everyone has their own musical tastes. But that is all they are: "tastes". Preferences. OPINIONS. You look like an idiot by pretending that you are all high and mighty and can dictate what is "art".

Dammit, why can't people just shut up and let others like what they like?

is this guy autotuned yet?

A modern pop singer who doesn't need autotune? Say it ain't so!

>> ^raverman:

Music as an 'art form' requires artistic talent and skill to be considered "good". The various skills necessary to be a talented singer are well known and documented.
This can only be classed as Entertainment... people are entitled to enjoy it much as they would America's funniest home videos, a bad pun, or a children's clown act.
But it's not Musical Art as it includes no skill or talent.


If we were to only talk about singing then you could say the same about Bob Dylan, Jimmi Hendrix, Lou Reed, or hundreds of other obviously talented people.

Her singing is not the best in the world, but it's certainly good enough to be a part of a music project of some kind.

no one noticed on youtube about the Kesha autotune controversy... from the submitter on youtube

" I took the instrumental track of Your Love Is My Drug, pitched it down one half-step from the studio version to match her vocals, and layered her vocal track on top of it. "


Of course it sounds off, heh heh. The guy fucked up altering pitches and trying to match tracks.

The white-knighting in these comments is sad.


The douchebaggery is far worse.
