I was that the MTV music video awards (VMA’s) the other week and I noticed all he singers were lip syncing and that got me thinking- here is Kanye West who calls himself a genius and yet he was using auto tune and a vocoder – which makes any voice sound good.
Am I dreaming or is this all fake?
I think back to the great voices– Billie Holiday, Elvis, Freddie Mercury and try to imagine them using a vocoder.
I hear the echoes of the cheers and chanting Kanye got and my heart cries.
I cry out for authenticity and human imperfection. I cry out for the beauty of a voice reaching for perfection.
