Apple (software) and Orange (amplifiers), AFAIC. There is a difference between how a musician's voice is recorded and compression added in the mastering process to punch-up the volume for mass consumption. The two concepts aren't interchangeable.

And here we really part company: lip syncing is more egregious by far than pitch correction, IMO. At least with pitch-correction you are hearing a live performance.
While I completely sympathize with your POV, I think each case should be taken on merit. As you so eloquently pointed out you've already made an exception with Barbara Streisand, so maybe there's some wiggle-room for other artist's as well! :o)
