She doesn’t sound like they use it much if at all though. Please provide proof of auto tune…that isn’t just someone else’s blurb in a discussion forum.
I hate autotune also. I heard Brandy use it on one of her albums…and it was fucking overkill. I mean, you have someone who can truly do all of that shit naturally…and then you ramp it up to the tenth power with auto tune. It sounded like someone had hired a robot to finish her album for her.

Autotune…where?
That’s a live show and it sounds like a bad mic issue. Auto tune is used to make up for the “vocal gymnastics” many artists do. Most of her notes in that song are held out, not scaled up and down.
I mean, I could be wrong…but that would be the worst attempt at auto tune in the history of it if all of that static was happening on purpose.

Oh, I know. I thought the performance was outstanding, really. I don’t see her abusing autotune at all, on any songs i’ve heard from either of her CD’s.

Professor and Hungry,
Right, there is no AutoTune on that live performance, it’s quite clear. She’s pretty sharp a lot of the time. Not crazy offensive, but more than 4 or 5 cents sharp. On the studio albums AutoTune is used on every song. Most singers “scoop” up to pitch, meaning they start below the pitch and then rise to it, as they don’t have “perfect” pitch. The may have really good “relative” pitch, so they can find the note easily. In the last few versions of AutoTune they have adjusted the algorithm to get rid of the “robot” tone, so if you use it judiciously and on a slow response you just can’t hear the artifacts. In the studio Adele “scoops” but never goes past the pitch, sharp, as the AutoTune can “look ahead” on the waveform and bring the pitch back down. It can be used live as well. I know these things as I’ve been performing and recording musician, as well as behind the board for over 20 years.

My point is that the use of is not OVERDONE. It’s used the way it should be used… To enhance.
Your post alluded that her voice is attributed solely to Autotune.

I wasn’t alluding to her voice being “made” by AutoTune, sorry for the indirectness, that wasn’t my point. But to your point “the way it should be used…to enhance”
I gotta disagree. It wasn’t that long ago that if you couldn’t sing in tune you couldn’t get the gig as a singer. Not that all the great were pitch perfect, they were not. But they seemed to get along with out it just fine. Brad Delp, Steve Perry, Karen Carpenter, Whitney, Dio, ect…
I do love her emotion and tone, as well as phrasing though.
I’m not going to quote you, Strangemeadow. It’s becoming a big mess…
Anyway… we really aren’t disagreeing, then.
I dig Adele’s style and think she’s a bright spot in today’s otherwise shitty talent pool.
^^ Agreed 
BAM!
Actually this would be better proof of her live singing abilities.

Gee, now you got me, lol. you have an obvious general dislike for me and i love it. To bad in real life you wouldn’t dare say a word to me. You would look down and not say a word. we both know it. [/quote]
I don’t know about other folks in here, but if we, you and me, were to meet in real life, I would have to look up, not down. I would then proceed to kick you in the knee, see you buckle and then stomp your head flat.
Other than that, RV, I like you.
I’ve been a vampire, too, once, but couldn’t handle the occasional transmogrification (something about cramps - and the sex wasn’t what it’s made out to be by the silly entertainment industry), so I asked to be restored.
I’m still in occasional contact with my former kind, but can’t fathom how a vampire can go rogue (vampires are rogues by nature).
Also, no one of my former family has heard about you, RogueVampire. One of my former teachers (a tranny vampire) thinks you look like some chattle he/she had a particular fondness for and did more than feed on - until it escaped.
Are you chattle, RV?
I’m wondering if Roguevampire’s obsession with the undead developed from consuming 17 bowls of “Count Chocula” a day? I mean, just by having the box in such close proximity and with such regularity, RV and “The Count” must have had a LOT of face-time.
(Incidentally, Count Chocula must have remarkable regenerative powers, particularly in the pancreas. From what I can make out, he subsists entirely on his eponymous cereal, which is mostly refined flour, high fructose corn syrup, and brown dye #42. It’s absolutely remarkable that he’s managed to stave off death for so long…)
