He's here in the bay area for a summer concert and the host Sanaa G from 106 KMEL asked him did he need the auto tune to sing and he was denying that he did but he just likes to use it. So she asked him to sing acappella and he said "Oh yea I can.....but you know, I have to go to soundcheck and they need me right now....."

CAN'T SING!!!!

That's what I think. He's no good without that vocoder thing that he uses and it doesn't help him that much. Another lameass singer killing the airwaves.

this clip disagrees (i dont even like this cat, but hey)

Wow,thats a lot less annoying.

ThreadCula said:

hehehe

Scrapluv said:

His real singing voice wasn't all that bad there. It was iight. Could've been a whole lot better coming from a supposenly an R&B singer or whatever the genre.

ThreadCula said:

yeah, it was ok

Rinluv said:

i'm glad i'm not the only one. i really like when he sings this live. there's a jimmy kimmel clip of him doing this live and they let the guy play a bit of his guitar in this one. sounds pretty good

Live intruments on this one huh. Pretty good.

Whenever I hear that "Buy you a Drank" song, in my head the lyrics get replaced with:

"yabba dabba dabba, yabba dabba doo.."

sounds better that way

ok, at least he put some effort into his stage show, but thats all you're getting outta me

i only like it live anyway

He did the same thing here in Dallas a few weeks ago. He is definitely a studio singer. He can't perform without all of the "bells and whistles".

daPrettyman said:

i noticed unfortunately that a lot of artists (i shouldn't say artists) have been copying his style with the voice and music to

heybaby said:

If u want to call it a "style"

CAN'T SING!

Scrapluv said:

GArbage

krayzie said:

agreed.

DANGEROUSx said:

I guess we can't expect anything different. His first hit was "I'm In Love With a Stripper"..

Who's T Pain?

MikeMatronik said:

Be thankful they aren't flooding ur airwaves in Portugal with that crap. He is pretty big in the States. He is on everyone's cd as a guest artist (almost like Akon).

daPrettyman said:

Oh man, Akon is WAY bigger than T PAin... Don't forget that Akon's last shit has sold as much as Beyonce...

daPrettyman said:

I don't listen to radio...so I'm saved from that crap!

daPrettyman said:

I actually remember his first hit, it was called "I'm Sprung."

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I hated all of those, but I can actually tolerate the clip without autotune!

I tried to not like T Pain and Akon's "Bartender" but I cant help it.
