99.99% of all dance and electronic music feature tuned vocals, which earns millions of dollars for people who otherwise couldn't sing.

That doesn't make it any less horrible.

Yeah autotune sucks floppy donkey dick, but I liked it anyway so **** you guys.

Are you sure they're autotuned? I can't detect it.

As far as Michael Jackson covers go, they can suck it when compared to this:

As far as Autotuning goes, I detest it. But there's a guy in the Irish singing group Celtic Thunder who is cool 'cause he sounds like a human Autotune. He sings in this weird way where his voice pauses at each note level.

Those vocals are definitely tuned. It's obvious to my ears; I don't know what you're not hearing.

The Civil Wars did a pretty decent cover of Billie Jean.

Better than Cornell's forced 3/4 version IMO.

Don't tell me that's not a hipster-ized version of an all time classic. Those clams probably threw down a case of Pabsts in celebration of getting the video done.

Actually, I couldn't say... I can't see the video at work (blocked) but I'll take your word for it. I figured you were responding to my post for the Civil Wars, since, yes... that's basically what it is.

They managed to make a ghey song twice as ghey. That's something, I guess...

It's certainly not as awesome as Iron Maiden, I'll give you that, but I listened to Michael Jackson shit when I was a little kid so I've always had a soft spot for it. Billie Jean is probably my favorite song of his. I mean...I still listen to metal way more. Sometimes I get in a weird mood and listen to some 80s and 90s pop or whatever too. I have a Pandora station that's Iron Maiden and Hall & Oates lol..

"Billie Jean" is a better song than anything that Iron Maiden ever wrote, and I say that as a gigantic fan of Iron Maiden.
