Autotuners are fun when they're used to turn speech into song (see Auto-Tune the News), but not so much when used on actual singing (at least in this case).
Music Buzz As noted by Caroline McCarthy: here is “I Want You Back,” covered by Discovery (the collaboration with Mr. Ra Ra Riot and Mr. Vampire Weekend), using auto-tune. The only thing missing is some sort of 80s-movie-referencing mashup. Anyway, listen now (right now!) before it becomes uncool.

This slow speed is all dreamy and nice, but I like it better when sped back up to near the speed of the original. Can't appreciate the keyboards as much, but it doesn't have that draggy feeling.
