Oh lord, please no. Don't pull JM into the world of auto-tune. It works for some people, and for others it doesn't. JM is the one who should stick to his sound, it's original and unique as it is.

On another note, really enjoyed that video from his tour. I wish I had the money to go to his concerts One day, mark my words...

Hopefully that day won't be when JM is full out rap/hip-hop

Well, I'm not sure how true this is, but..Mayer did say that he used auto tune on every album. It's possible he was just talking crap. Judge for yourself.

He is so effing hilarious. "What's the fruit version of Vultures?" "As if they reminded me of some sh-t I never did!"

But he is right, the only time you can really tell someone is using AT is when its used heavily or they sound completely different live than the album (and not in a good way). In that case, John has been using it wisely. But in that new song... Far too Kanye and TPain for me. I like to listen to John the way he is.

Yeah, I'm not feeling the whole autotune movement in rap/R&B. It sound like an attempt to put a little techno vibe into the genre and its not working imo. I'd rather JM stick to his style.

I think I was in row 9 or something. My camera has a good zoom and I tried to avoid people's heads and hands as much as possible.

Just watched his live chat videos up there...oh John, why are you wearing sunglasses indoors? There is no excuse unless you have an ulcer in your eye, which I doubt you have!

Completely random, but the cached link through my browser went to the old thread. I forgot we were up to #23 and went to the end of thread #22. I was surprised to see a giant picture of Ice Cube replacing one of the posted concert pictures in post #290. Weird.

As for the auto tune It's clearly used on In Repair, though I would not be surprised if it's been used elsewhere. Not all auto tuning is the same, and if he has used it other albums I can't pin point a song with that cliche auto tune sound. Not the case with In Repair unfortunately. Still one of my favorite songs, but it's tainted a bit by the excessive auto tune during the "I'm in repair" lines.

I saw that too, it's been like that for a long time actually like right when this new thread was posted. I was all confused when I first saw it.
