I laughed. Quite hard.

I love this video, I've watched it probably twenty times in the past week.
Yeah, my brother tried to get me to watch it as soon as it was posted, but I declined. Now I regret that decision.
They also have a soul group. Like, no shit. A soul group, called The Gregory Brother's Band. They're well worth a listen.
this was a-may-zing.
The video is just absolutely brilliant. I really can't watch it enough times.
probably the greatest thing ive ever seen in my life
kid's fucked up in the head
EVEN BETTER.
I agree with Shiny - I think the music is actually improved for #6, but #5 is far funnier.
i have been waiting so long for number 10
All rise for the Guitar of Liberty: as the Founding Fathers did Rock before us, now thou shalt Rock.
#10 was by far the best

it's too late for my government
Also, most of the people who are auto-tuned are reporters and Republicans, probably there tends to be more Republicans than Democrats that say wild, outlandish things or make weird analogies. They might also tend to sound more "singing" when they speak.
yeah, but someone like katie couric or the "it's the smoke" guy from ATTN #5 are a lot easier to auto-tune, because their speech is a lot more melodic, more performative. sycld's right about the correlation.
he's also right that republicans seem to say more outlandishly hilarious (read: incredibly depressing if thought about too much) things
newscasters and politicians tend to be more melodic because the foundation of good public speaking is not being monotonic.
no no you misunderstand -- i mean, that's true, but it's not the same as saying their voice more lends itself to be autotuned
it doesn't matter what tone someone's speech is when you run it through an autotune, but the vocal quality and timbre and all those kinds of things make the difference
which, also, are the foundation of good public speaking
but too much of it and you just look silly (see entry: katie couric)
oh, because they actually have a speaking voice with resonance and projection? That helps, it's true, but you can literally autotune anything - moreover, once you have it autotuned, you can run that through a synthesizer and play their words as any notes you want to. I think, though, that relying on that too heavily put you on very thin ice

Well, I heard an interview of a couple of the Gregory Bros. on NPR, and they said that some voices are more song-like in their delivery than others. They cited Katy Couric's in particular.
You'd best stop disagreeing with me before you wake up deeeaad wake up wake up deeeeeeaaaad.
Don't look now but this thread just turned into AI
