OK, 2 things really suspicious about this video:

1) I'm *pretty sure* I can hear autotune artifacts (I work with audio / vocalists a lot) and a vocal that is consistently *too* in pitch.

2) Notice at 2:49 the microphone is absolutely miles from her mouth and the vocal is still entirely consistent, no evidence of a change in level or tone that you'd expect a microphone to display (re: proximity effect) - this hints to me at the vocal being pre-recorded. They also cut away at this point which makes me even more suspicious.

Also:

3) The US version of the same show, produced by the same production company, has admitted using autotune: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11056050

This coming from a person who got goosebumps for the amazing TV debut performances of both Alexis Jordan and Bianca Ryan who were both imperfect, but utterly thrilling.

Something stange, the blue-shirted sign waving guy gets floored, appears to get stabbed at least once, possibly twice, then the attacker walks away and the guy just jumps up again as if nothing happened??

I just keep hearing "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!" and not believing a word he says.

Nothing strange here. He was clearly just taking his fuzzy pet could for a walk.

*quality for sure.

A *commercial and it stinks of it from the outset.

Very little about the slide ride itself, concentration is on how we're all super best friends and having a really fucking uplifting time consuming the VooRay product.

I don't understand the pukeworthiness of this.


There's no accounting for taste.

And I'm going to say quality because of his foundation that I was unaware of: http://iamangelfoundation.org/
"Will.i.am has handed $800,000 of his fee from appearing on Britain's "The Voice" to Prince Charles' charity.
The Black Eyed Peas star served as a mentor on the reality show earlier this year, but rather than keep his wages, he's donated the cash to The Prince's Trust to fund a technology program for young people."
Neil DeGrasse Tyson would so be down with this.


The point of this is that with the entire musical output of this planet available to us, the first thing we send to another planet is the mawkish juvenile brain vomit of someone with the lyrical and musical capabilities of a shoe.

Good man for funding good things with his millions, but in the bank of art, he's bankrupt.

Does it come with Perfect Hammer included?

Yeah really inaccurate >> ^ponceleon:

Very cool video, but the title is entirely inaccurate. The ray was just climbing up the side because they had food in the little plastic cup and it must have figured out over time to do that to get it...
More obviously, that's the wrong side of the stingray...


Seconded. I know from visiting my local aquarium a lot that they know exactly what's going on and are trying to get the food.

Use the 2x playback feature in the settings

Very suspect.

Actually when you think of it this is the perfect way to secretly promote the burgeoning career of your packaged popstar.
They don't have a record deal, you "discover" them, put them on your own show, the nation watches them week after week....

One of my favourite bands of the last few years. aka Memory Tapes.
Download a free "mixtape" he did for Modular People. They just expected a track listing of other people songs, but he gave them 23 minutes crammed with original music.
