Post Malone is someone who pisses me off with the autotune BS because he's actually a great vocalist without it, yet he still uses it on his albums (often times pretty glaringly). It works for him in terms of being one of the biggest selling artists of the last 15 years but it frustrates me cause the dude doesn't need it and sounds better without it. I look forward to that dude doing a raw rock and roll album someday with no fucking autotune

AND NOT GD AUTOTUNED! The performers recorded together--not by digital "add-ons"... hlthe2b Thursday #1

To be fair autotune is quite different (and more egregious) than not recording together AZJonnie Thursday #3

I am well aware they are not the same. I am making TWO points in one posting. hlthe2b Thursday #5

Yes. I'm sure the recording producers are pushing it (Autotune). hlthe2b Thursday #7

It's raw and powerful, and yeah Bruce has a history of such songs, so it's very authentic. Jbraybarten Thursday #2

Okay, big fan of the Boss here ABC123Easy Thursday #4

A logical presumption but no it's not like when Elton redid Candle in the Wind for Diana for example AZJonnie Thursday #8

Wish dozens of big name singers would immediately record covers to make it a viral phenom lostnfound Thursday #10

I'd like them to all write and record their own protest songs, and maybe cover Bruce's during live performances. highplainsdem Thursday #12
