I personally find that way to many artists rely on auto-tuning technology to make them sound better. I don't think an entire chorus would hook them selves up to auto-tune. It just seems like a cheat! It's just like using modded controllers for Modern Warfare 2, or hacks for Counter-Strike. All of those 'cheaters' and 'hackers' get yelled at by all the other players. Why is auto-tune not the same?
Actually, forget auto-tune in general. I want to widen this topic!
A lot of artists also have people write their songs. This is completely inexcusable and pathetic!
What is your input, people?

Technology allows people to do some pretty interesting things, we can change our faces with a little surgery, we can talk to people around the world in a matter of seconds using the interent, and we can change out voices to 'sound better' using programs like auto-tune. Frankly, I find auto-tune to be a hilariously idiotic program. If you're using it, stop, it just makes you look like an idiot when people find out.... and they will find out. If you have to use a program to entirely re-write your voice, then you shouldn't be in the music business in the first place (Bieber, we're looking at you). I can understand if you're only making the smallest of changes and you still sound like you when the music is playing, that's excuseable, but sounding like someone else entirely just makes no sense. As for people who get others to write the songs for them, I see it as more of a situatuional thing. If the guys writing the songs is only contributing ideas and can't sing himself, then yeah, I can sort of see it being okay. But actually hiring someone to write your music for you is inexcuseable.
