As a musician and having the privilege to be in a band with my friends, I find that anyone that uses auto tune isn't a real artist. As a musician, you need to practice to get better, but not with auto tune! I can't sing to save my life, but if I had some auto tune, I bet I could sing like any of the so called "singers" of this generation of music. Even if I don't like a song, I'll respect it if the people used real instruments. But if you use auto tune, all respect goes down the drain.
