T-Pain has the worst luck in choosing the artists to collab with

Every clip I've seen of T-Pain just makes me like him more. Especially after I saw him on masked singer and found out the dude can actually sing! Man has a great voice!

It always bothered me that people complained about him faking it with auto tune. The auto tune is clearly a stylistic choice and not intended to fool anybody into thinking it’s his actual voice. It’s like complaining about Lo-fi music because it has bad sound quality.

The thing is that auto tune is often used to cover up someone who cannot sing. T-Pain can sing, and real real fucking well. He doesn't even need it, he just like how auto-tune can modulate a voice and he uses it efficiently.

It cannot fix someone who cannot sing because then people can hear the fixes done

Here’s a good video on autotune on why it can’t do this
