I’ve said it before that one of the greatest evils to befall modern music is the increasing usage of autotune in songs. It is generally unbearably annoying and though often it does spare us the pain of someone who can’t sing in-tune. Then there’s tennis star Caroline Wozniacki. She just released a new single for charity called Oxygen but this will do more to lose charities fundraising opportunities than make them money.
There’s not much you can say about this song. I don’t mean that in the sense that it’s obvious why this is a bad song (though it is). I mean that in the sense that there’s so much autotuning to Wozniacki’s voice that I can’t understand most of the lyrics. I am fairly confident that she does have a voice but I doubt you could figure out what it sounds like from this. This is probably the most excessive use of autotune ever and I’ve listened to Rebecca Black.
So congrats, Caroline. You’ve won the prestigious Worst of Music award for this week.
