Weekly Glee autotune rant

[yagathai]

OMG you're going to autotune Doogie Patrick Harris singing Aerosmith? For god's sake, why? Why? You know what kind of music doesn't have to be pitch-perfect? HARD ROCK.

Safety Dance = new favorite Glee number. Seriously. I watched it like five times.

Idina Menzel finally gets a number? Took you long enough!

The direction for Safety dance was awesome!

[yagathai.livejournal.com]

I concur.

An unspoken rule on Glee is that anyone who wasn't in Spring Awakening or Wicked automatically gets auto-tuned. Think about it.

Safety Dance and Jump = my two favorite numbers. Fun dancing makes the auto-tuning bearable.

Hm. And even then sometimes they're not safe, like last week.

Autotuned and badly lipsynched (lipsunk?)!

The lipsynching has always been astonishingly bad, but the autotuning has become more and more obvious as the episodes have gone on.

It's like they don't know how to deal with "live" performances, even though that's the whole premise of the show. (Mind you, they don't seem to give a toss how glee clubs/high school choirs work, either, so complaining about 'reality' is probably unrealistic on my part. :p)

After having seen them record the season finale live, I totally understand why they pre-record in the studio and then lip sync. They're literally performing the same dance numbers, start to finish, for fucking *hours*. You would destroy your voice in a matter of weeks if you were singing each time.

Though what really impressed me about Jonathan Groff is that during Bohemian Rhapsody, he was actually singing along with the recording of himself (the sound was REALLY high, but you could tell when he didn't quite match up with the recording), AND, that when he was pretending to play the white grand piano (yes, they DID stay that faithful to Freddie!), in between takes the actual pianist was coaching him on the bit that he was supposed to be playing, and during the shooting he was actually hitting the right notes :)

T Pain definately needs to be a guest star next season.

This was my favorite episode since the premiere.
