RE: why are YOU in this hobby?

Kurt Elling was blasted by music critics for using Auto-Tune in later albums..... (Most performers got away with this, but apparently not Elling. His own site admits use of it- link below.) His popularity declined in recent time..... I think his problem was that his real voice was a known entity (unlike a lot of pop stars who always use Auto-Tune), and his use of enhancements was obvious to even casual listeners.

Another victim was Adele, who during her 2016 Grammys performance, the Auto-Tune cut out, revealing her actual voice on national TV..... Her popularity since that gaffe hasn't been the same either.

If you've noticed, I stopped criticizing singers for off-key singing. Several years ago. I'd rather listen to unadulterated Elling or even Streisand than anybody who's Auto-Tuned.
