These Are The Questions: Why Does T-Pain Use Autotune? And Does Singing Well REALLY Matter?

But do these answers really matter since T-Pain is richer than all of us anyway?

So a lot of people I follow on social media were sharing T-Pain's NPR "Tiny Desk Performance" a while ago (Yes! I'm late!! Again!!!). The reactions to his performance have mostly sounded like this: "Oh my gosh he's such a good singer, I hope he never uses autotune again!" I'm going to tell you why this kind of reaction is a problem.

What I've Been Listening To (Vol. 2)

Why hello there! It’s been a while since I wrote my last blog post (don’t I always say that?). I was so astounded by the positive feedback on my personal The Voice audition account, I wondered how I could top it. Sadly, due to not doing anything particularly interesting lately, I couldn’t come back with another great “Let’s Get Personal” post. But if there’s one thing I always do even when life slows down, it’s listen to music. So here’s volume TWO of “What I’ve Been Listening To”!

What I've Been Listening To (Vol. 1)

Hey guys! Wow, it’s been a while since I wrote my last blog post. Over the past month, I’ve sadly neglected my blog in order to focus on other things such as: finishing my website (check it out here!), practicing for my open call audition for The Voice (wish me luck!!), visiting my boyfriend, and overall just trying to enjoy my summer.

It’s been pretty hard to get back on the writing grind because I always try to write really long posts, so for now, I’ll present you with another listicle! This time, it’s songs that I’ve been playing on repeat over the last month. I promise that the next post will be longer and actually tackle a topic, but for now, onto the listicle (in no particular order)!

Just exactly who is MNEK (pronounced “em-en-ee-kay”), you ask?

KPOP Review for Jiyeon's "1 Min 1 Sec (Never Ever)"

(WARNING: This post is text and image-heavy with lots of gifs! And for future reference, a lot of my blog posts will be like this, too.)

For my first blog post after the revamp, I’m going to be talking about *drumroll*…

KPOP!

Now I know most of my readers (i.e. 4 or 5 people) might not be so familiar with the kpop industry, but bear with me! I’ll try to make things as easy to understand as possible for the laymen, but entertaining enough for the diehard kpop fans. Now onto the review!
