Will.i.am autotune confession

This is no surprise, but thankfully Will has finally come clean.

In the interview he admitted struggling to sing well, and that autotune is used for most of his recordings.

I'm just happy he isn't trying to be someone he's not, we all knew anyways.

Did anyone actually think he could sing?? He'd be lost without autotune. God I can't stand him.

He really shouldn't be involved in The Voice then, the concept of the show is to unearth new singing talent, somebody like him is in no position to mentor a person on their vocal abilities.

There is the old saying though, "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach." Although hopefully not spoken English taught by any of them apart from Tom.

Music was so much better before autotune, hell there was once a time when a rapper didn't need to be able to sing in order to produce a great song.
