There might be a few people in the world who aren't yet aware that a LOT of the music we hear today has vocals that have been adjusted using Autotune—software that corrects slight (or major) imperfections in a singer's pitch—resulting in a performance that sounds MUCH better than the original.
Cher's conspicuous use of Autotune for her 1998 hit song, Believe—was the first time that many became aware of the technology.

Since then, many artists purposely choose to "hide" that they more subtlety use Autotune on their recordings and live performances—preferring to let their audience believe that what they are hearing is a skilled, pitch-perfect vocal—rather than an enhanced digital manipulation.

With that mind, today's post features a HILARIOUS video from the Canadian comedy series, LOL ComediHa!, where they parody auto-tune being taken to an extreme—showing a sound engineer frantically working the control board to "fix" a singer's stunningly bad vocal.
It's an obviously inaccurate portrayal of how Autotune works—but it is still pretty funny!
Check it out and see if you don't agree!
BTW—comedian Sylvie Moreau is the woman shown lip-syncing to a track sung by Canadian singer Nancy Forti, who is actually a pretty decent vocalist:
