Charli XCX lands in criticism for using auto-tune in ‘SNL’ performance
Charli XCX received multiple comments criticising her on using auto-tune at her Saturday Night Live performance where she sang her Brat hits.
The 32-year-old pop sensation hosted the weekend show on Saturday, November 17th, and also hit the stage with her viral track 360.
However, viewers were not pleased with the Apple songstress’ vocals as they expressed their opinions in the comments section.
One such critic wrote, “This is definitely not a song for the SNL stage.”
‘”Vocals that suck” is not a song style,’ another argued.
A third added, “The most talented and musically credible thing on the stage was the Lou Reed t-shirt. It’s okay though, there are talentless hacks to whom I enjoy listening, as well. There’s nothing wrong with it. Just don’t elevate it to something it isn’t.”
“If you’re pitchy it very quickly goes to s— lol!” wrote another.
This comes after the Grammy-nominated singer has admitted that she always uses auto-tune to supplement her singing.
Back in June, Charli told Tape Notes Podcast, “All the time, like, I never am not singing with Auto-Tune. Unless I’m, like, doing karaoke, which I actively don’t do for this reason.”
