I've heard that Tyler Ward is a pretty popular youtube artist, but i'm not that into cover artists. Does he change the songs much, or are they just covers?
There are some times when sounding that way could be good... It's just that no-one ever uses it in that way.
Like; one or two songs where sounding like a computer is a good thing, and is accompanied by someone in the techno or electronic genre is good; but not all the time. It just gets overused that way. =P
Yes, Daft Punk music sounds good with autotuned and overly synthesized and compressed vocals, but that type of music isn't generally marketed as vocal. The vocal parts in electronic music are (generally) using the voice as just another instrument (as in Harder Better Faster Stronger, Around the World etc.)
A lot of Autotune is now used in actual
vocal pieces, and it sounds awful.
