It's no use. Though I nominate you for post of the year for mentioning those terrific "tiny desk" concerts that npr has online.
A final thought: Can you imagine what a star rapper like T-Pain would think, after being a good enough sport to show up and sing for some npr show, an appearance that does exactly nothing for his career and for which he was no doubt paid zero, if some npr producer decided to manipulate his performance, with Auto-Tune or anything else? I guess maybe he never bothered to listen to the end result, but you have to think some people around him would have. ;)

Considering that according to the NPR producer the whole point was to have the guy sing *sans* auto-tune, I hardly think NPR surreptitiously added it later. Did you scroll down in the link Dave provided in the OP to see what the producer said? Do you hear auto-tune? I don't.
My point was, there is no possible way that npr, after convincing a star rapper to sing on that show, would f@#k with the end result and then post it on the net. And even I know enough about Auto-Tune, and other such electronic effects, to know they can't make up for bad singing, as Dave says.
T-Pain is obviously a good sport and would probably bust a gut laughing over this thread.
I think he's agreeing that it's a silly suggestion.

While I wouldn't suggest there is any use from the perspective of having Todd admit that he's full of it, I do think it's worth demonstrating how baseless his claims are for the sake of those that might take him at his word.
I'm not the least bit surprised that T-pain can sing reasonably, as auto-tune is seldom used to hide poor singing. It's a production technique that is a function of aesthetic like reverb, or it's used for a variety of other reasons (the same reasons multiple takes are made, for example). I'm no more a fan of its use than anyone else, but I'm aware of when and why it's used.
