- Top 10 Singers without Auto-Tune Vocal Coach Ken Tamplin Reacts
Today I'm reacting to another medley of artist performances and for this particular series it's the top 10 singers without Auto-Tune.
If you're not familiar with auto-tune, it is an audio processor that measures and alters pitch in vocal performances. It's meant to disguise or correct off-key inaccuracies, allowing vocal tracks to be tuned perfectly even if they're slightly off-pitch.
There's only one small problem...not all of the performances in today's video were done without auto-tune.
There are some great performances including Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Jessie J, Beyonce and more. I'll let you decide for yourself if you heard any auto-tune.
I hope you find the video to be helpful and entertaining so let me know what you thought!

Oh no, Ken!! The bathroom stories! I can't imagine the embarrassment! No need to apologize for your Ken Stories, they are always interesting. Plus, in this case, it saved us from having to hear more Bieber singing.
abunchahooey Hahaha! That's funny!
Reminds me of naked gun movie.
A lot of 'vocal coach reacts' are too scared too point out autotune on these, because of the fan backlash haha
Exactly.
Agree
I'm always down for 20min Ken Tamplin stories. Don't stop being you, dude.
Ahardcorejedi Thank you!
@@kentamplin I confirm that it actually is something you won't hear anywhere else too often. And it is nice to hear. *The adventures of the rock veteran - Ken Tamplin* haha ;]
Only Ken Tamplin could mimic auto tune in person without auto tune 😂😂
The proof is in the singing at 3:50. Class... total legend
Haha! Thanks, Martin!
Yeah that was awesome!
Jessie J is seriously underrated, especially compared to some singers who seemed to blow up. Yes they have talent but she’s just another at a whole other level compared to a lot of them. Not even a fan of hers but I’ve heard some of her live stuff and holy crap she’s got it.
In my opinion.. Top singer without auto-tune is dimash and second is bruno mars
Maybe you can try Sia, her cracks and breaks just prove it no autotune in her recording or live performance.
Forgot Adam Lambert, David Phelps and Jemery Jordan?
seriously? Listen to Steve Perry from Journey singing live in the 1970s and early 80s before autotuned existed
Who in the world put Selena in top 10... Even Tay don't make it into this list, Should be...
Ariana, Dimash, Beyonce
Dimash's tone is really annoying to me personally , Bruno has a way better tone.
There is a young singer who a lot of people haven't heard because she doesn't sing pop and she doesn't use auto-tune. It's Jackie Evancho. She's had an absolutely beautiful voice since she exploded on the scene in 2010 at the age of 10. She began as a classical singer and has now branched out into a little pop but also Broadway music.
Jessie J is the most underrated singer I’ve seen. As well as Brendon Urie. Not enough people make a big deal about them. Both outstanding
Wasn't Beyonce singing Crazy, by Gnarls Barkley?
yes, i am glad someone else caught that, it's not Seal. {i still love Ken}
I’m late here, but that’s immediately what I thought too.
Yep
Gnarls Barkley featuring Ceelo Green
Some of these performances have pitch correction, aka "processing" lol!
Processing includes many things (EQ, compression, delay, verb, pitch correction aka auto tune etc). Processing is perfectly fine as long as Pitch correction is not used. Auto tune is NEVER necessary and should be abolished entirely. All it does is make the music boring and less enjoyable to Listen to. It’s become a crutch.
I've never used auto-tune on my vocals. I would NEVER use it live, but I can see how it could be useful in the studio. Say you nail a very emotional part & it's all perfect, but one syllable is a little flat. Correct that one syllable & keep the intensity of the take. Relying on auto-tune is just covering up a lack of talent. I don't like that at all.
Yep I totally hear what you're saying Kelly Matthews!
Auto-Tune is what I think is killing music. I like the natural sound of someone's voice. I like old-school music when they didn't have Auto-Tune. Auto-Tune allows anyone to sing where you don't have to have a great voice and be a great singer which I think makes for Crappy music. I don't think anyone should be able to sing unless you have a good voice and you can actually sing.
Hey, I wanna ask about your opinion about Billie Eilish's voice. She's recently huge, and I wanna know if she's truly overrated or not through a technical standpoint.
I suggest Singers slaying without Microphone, really interesting
Yess that a great video tons of great singers like Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga.
Like you said, Jessie is very under rated 😔 this is not fair
Call me by your name "Life is pain, highness. Anyone that says differently is selling something."- Dread Pirate Roberts . You're right, not fair.
I love Jessie, she’s great!
Totally agree on the Jessie j part! She is phenomenal! I feel sad that artists like demi, dimash and pink are so highly underrated too! They are out of this world! Truly amazing all four of them!
💜💜💜
I would love to hear these singers today sing the old standards the way they did in the 40s. I listen to the 40s channel on the sat radio, hear some of the lesser known recordings from those days and the singers simply nail it without any bells or whistles and no multi-tracking either, all playing/singing at the same time. I do understand that autotune does create its own kind of effect which is cool, but I also like an unprocessed sound.
I am a Swiftie since I was a teen I actually learned how to write song from Taylor💖but if I wanna be honest with u, she sings with no power, no Vibrato nothing really killer about her voice it's just that she's too attractive & chic & her voice is sweet n soothing but as a voice artist in animations not like that. ❤️
At last! Your Bieber reaction! I've been waiting for this for years 😂
Can't WAIT for the Seal reaction. Agree - one of the great artists of our time.
Kai Canyon Ellis 👍
@@kentamplin Please tell me that the CeeLo Green and Seal mixup was a slip of the tongue. (At least pretend it was before putting out a reaction video with Seal and Crazy!)
@@ibsulon Ha! I caught that one too. CeeLo is the one who sang "Crazy".
I remember hearing an audio of brittney when she was like six years old or so. And it just was the polar oposit. As it comes to the aproach.
I gotta say, I really love these kind of off the cuff style of videos you've been doing Ken. Of course I love your educational/cover videos as well, but you come across extra genuine here.
Sad that autotune has killed true talent. Anyone can "sing" now. I miss the old days when people COULD sing.
Plenty of people can still sing
That’s not the case
Auto tune can only do so much. If you truly can't sing, auto tune won't help.

You are building your white stone in singing world. You are an amazing creative voice teacher and very open minded with compassionate heart, your every single words makes a history in youtube. Please keep sharing!
😊
The clip where Miley Cyrus is holding that large stand mounted mic in her hand;
That's how Frank Sinatra used to perform back in his early days.
Every time I see her do that, I remember a clip of Frank Sinatra from years ago.
Scott Tovey🎙️🎙️🎙️
Ken, I love your road stories, they are great!!!
Funny stuff!
Glad you like them!
Got me at "Ga-chi-ja-chi-ta-tu" 🤣🤣 Britney
It’s odd that people act like autotune is the most used vocal crutch rather than vocal doubling, lip syncing and a ton of takes
Interesting video, but dude the story! I'm still laughing. That made my day.
Great to hear of those incidents. Nice personal touch to the video.
Oh god that story. It's like a movie I swear i've heard a story similar to it before. WOOOOW
hahahaha OMG I'm dying! nothing better than good old bathroom stories.. brings everyone together as humans lol.. we can all relate.. you are awesome :)
I remember pounding it out in a rehearsal studio in the late 80's. We had a codex that you would not record stuff you could not pull off live. We were teens at the time so it was a little black and white thinking as studio is a different beast from live but the ethics were spot on. These days artists live goes through the hands of 3 Pro Tools engineers doing live edits. Or lead vocals is only on track. I don't need a singer to dance and jump around as an excuse of not singing live. Please take your vocal and throw down hard. That's something I respect. Cheers, Ken, you are spot on.
Daniel Lekerdal👍
Every time I see a Ken Tamplin reaction, I start to wish I still had my hair
Ken your reaction when Britney knock up it was priceless 🤣🤣 LMFAO
😂😂Ken your bathroom story was so funny 😂 remembered me on a szene from a 1988 movie called "the naked gun" with Leslie Nielson- funny movie btw
😂😂
Jessie is just unbelievable. Have you checked out her version of My heart will go on? Breathtaking, I watched it over and over again. She deserves much more attention.
Lmoa😂😁🤣😁you crack me up ken. Love those facial expressions 😂😁🤣😘enjoyed those stories 🙄😘✌🤙
Thanks for the awsome entertainment Ken 😃
I love Ken's stories! Write a book, Ken. I would be the first to buy it. :-)
Haha, Thanks Shawn!
Reinhold Mack said himself some years back that one thing he loved about working with Freddie Mercury and A “few” other good vocalists was that it made his job not so stressful and more enjoyable. He said that these record labels were sending artists to him that couldn’t sing worth a damn, & his job was to make them sound good. Selena Gomez is awesome and considering that she’s working with lupus as well, I know personally that is extremely hard! I don’t know how she does it
Oh that story about the mic and the toilet......too funny!!!!!!!! Keep the band stories coming!
Kim Koller👍👍👍
ken is the best coach around no fool. you wont fool the best
thanks ken
I actually enjoy the Ken-Tamplin-stories in between, keep it up bro
Where is The Weeknd on this list!?! You need to react to his pre concert warm ups
My top- Micheal McDonald, Steve Perry, Robert Plant, Tom Keifer, Mike Patton, Dio, Jani Lane, Blackie Lawless, Phil Lewis and
T'aime Downe.
Danzig Line Good ones!
Ken, is Michael Bolton on the agenda? Man, what killer vocals!
A video of a couple of Ken Tamplin stories would be pretty cool; it may even help recruit some students because it breaks down the teacher/student barrier. Awesome commentary, man, and I laughed dang hard, too.
Awesome reaction video Ken !!😁👍Great bathroom story!! 🤣👍😃👍
kool video! please react Dimash's new performance called Passione. you will be blown away!
Thanks for the suggestion, Juan.
Dimash Passione needs a Ken Tamplin reaction.....no.doubt
The guy in the background of the Katie Perry video IS Steve Lukather. :)
Thank you!
Loved those stories Ken lol. If this hasn't already been in a top rated comedy movie it should be.
You should have a separate video series for your stories
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy then, Lucas!
I do! And it’s also nice to have a look into the life of a musician in a simple, real way rather than an overproduced documentary. Your work is the best
I love your stories bro (: talking like I'm really there with ya :D
Very amusing story Ken, I could just picture the scene of you walking back to the audience, When did autotune become available dont think they had that in the eighties.
Vocality 1998. "Believe". Cher. She used it first.
Great story adventures. Had me laughing out loud. You deserve 👍👍👍 3 of them.
Haha thanks Judy L!
Look into any artist that recorded prior to 1997. My favs include Chris Cornell, Maynard James Keenan and Lane Staley.
The Renaissance Man Project👍
IMO, if autotune is only used for effect and the person can actually sing well without it, like Cher’s Believe (first major example of autotune), then it’s fine. But if you rely on autotune in the studio, and in live performances you sound terrible or at least less than up to par, then I’m not about that. I find it lazy when people use autotune in the studio to cover up for why they have terrible live performances.
I agree, Tyler.
Hi Ken would love your reaction to John Farnham, then and now. An icon of aussie music now in his 70s and has one of the most enduring voices on the planet. I'm sure you have heard of him 👍
Ok two questions, how were Beiber and Spears, the king and queen of auto tune on a video of top 10 without auto tune, but Gaga wasn't on here and she sounds amazing live without auto tune.
Don't know about Britney, but calling Bieber the autotune king is pathetic
Awww, I'm so sorry about what happened when you were sick but I have to admit it sounds funny as heck. 😂 I love hearing your stories and your reactions. Keep them coming! ✌😎
Kimmie Rock n roll can be so glamorous...
What a difference starting from the "O" position makes. Best free advice ever!
😊
Thank you for all the laughs while listening to this on my commute home today. I love your back stories.
Glad you like them!
Laughed at your stories. Thought back re other similar "events" I'd been told and it could have been worse! Keep rockin' - Carol
We need ken tamplin road stories videos!!! Loved the story ken 😂
😂😂 Ooohh I'll do it for you Britney I'll help you out, killed me at the end hilarious!!!!! Love from England 😍
Happy holidays, heather2384! God bless you and those you love! KT🎄🌟❤️🦌🕎
@@kentamplin god bless you too ♥️ merry Christmas x
The embarrassing story tho LOL!!!!!! Made my day, I laughed so hard.
This guy is a hoot! I'm laughing out loud at his personal stories.
Ariana is awesome 😍
DJJumpdancer She's a firecracker. 🧨
Ari, Jessie, Miley, Katy, Tay ❤️ Demi should’ve been 10 tho 💖
Never heard nor want to
Just to let you know I LOVE your stories!!And of course the reactions!!❤🎶🎤🎹🎸🎵❤
Awesome, thanks Jenn!
Your hair is on point today 👌
Eric Swartz Why, thank you!
I agree!
Your hair looks great here 🔥
I can hear autotune straight away - it sounds very mechanized - like metallic almost...but it's used so widely these days in songs kids probably aren't very familiar with the sound of a voice without one lol
I love the road stories, so funny XD
What is YOUR highest note than you can belt in your chest voice?
C5
F4
Eb5
G5
A5 and I’m male. I don’t know which clarification I am but I have a deep voice around the second octave in speak register so I think I’m a bass but I still don’t know how I can go up to A5 in my chest
Hi Ken, great video as always! The guitarist playing Yesterday with Katy Perry was Steve Lukather himself :)
The queen of audio 🎶 tune 😂 thank you ken!
This video is SOOO worth it just for your stories!! 🤣😂🤣😂
Love hearing touring stories
😄
Your hair is magical Ken
Love your stories. Please do a video of more.
Yeah the Bieber parts most def sound auto-tuned, or with a lot of processing at least (you can hear a glimpse of those processed harmonics). Gotta say, one of the best things about your reactions are your stories, I at least find them really interesting and funny. Keep it up Ken, keep doing your thing!!
interesting! The only singer I know in all of these is... Beoncie , only because Stevie Nicks was featured in one of her videos years ago and Im a HUGE Stevie Fan. lol Im not a fan of the style of any of these vocals They seem to have nice voices though. Im 46, I like classic rock and the 80's ;) i guess Im old haha. Interesting though!!
You would like her, many metal heads do! th-cam.com/video/0Kh8crkZet8/w-d-xo.html
Yep...I'm a 70s child...I'm going to be 60 in a few months.
Maybe i can suggest you try Sia, her cracks and breaks just prove it no autotune in her recording or live performance. Just like what Ken's said about her, th-cam.com/video/agN6M9lu-iM/w-d-xo.html
@@juliemanarin4127 if you are born in the 70's u cant be 60 soon
@@nilsapriem3641 She probably means she grew up on the music of the 70s.
Just found your channel - awesome stuff, thank you.
Glad to have you here, Gwen!
No Steve perry, meatloaf, or Freddie mercury .... not my cup of tea but loved the story you told lmao was great :)
Ive been an engineer, studio musician, and producer for almost 2 decades and hate auto tune/ melodyne as a crutch for people that don't have the vocal talent but are highly marketable in every other way and is the sole reason they even exist as huge forces in music sucking up spots/lanes that would otherwise be open for true talent. These things are meant to be tools for someone like me to make minor fixes in otherwise amazing takes and it's being grossly abused. I get it's use as an effect meaning it's sound is part of what we're deliberately going for in a part of a song but even then there are other tools i prefer that do a much better job of getting that effect but the artist (usually very young) wants it to be the same sound everyone else has in their songs not realizing you have to be somewhat original/your own thing if you want to achieve that level you're actually trying to reach.
Hey Ken have you ever thought about reacting to some TH-cam performers (singers) ? There are some great ones out there.
I love the fact you keep doing videos and reactions. Please never stop ahah
Oh my God, your story made me laugh hysterically
Haha! 😳
Auto-Tunes is perfect for this generation with all tools and adulations and NO personality at all.
Even some of the ones who don't use auto-tune, they just sound so similar and generic to me.
I really miss the the older music
(70's & some 80's, which had originality, and you knew who was singing. No one was copying anyone else, nor did they sound like anyone else.
Although in the 80's it seemed like the new wave bands started to copy each other, after a while. Same with some of the hair metal bands in the later 80's.
This group of females are so similar to each other in sound. It reminds me of the 1960's Motown females that also started to sound the same after a few years. No originality here...
@@Deborahtunes Glam bands sounded alike because they all shared similar singing style, but there was no autotune back then, it took a lot of talent and technique to belt out the high notes they were doing. Also, I could differentiate between Cinderella, G&R, Skid Row vocals, etc...
And no talent?
Yup
@@Deborahtunes Maybe i can suggest you to try Sia in these days.
like what Kens says about her, th-cam.com/video/agN6M9lu-iM/w-d-xo.html
Hey Ken Tamplin, could you react to Corey Taylor singing, please react to Stone Sour or Slipknot. Great vid!
Lawliet Thanks for the suggestion.
@@kentamplin Yes! please react to Corey Taylor's Snuff live performance.
Coach honestly the best singer who sing without auto tune and never had a flat notes and tone since birth and the girl who can sing live but she almost doesnt need lip sync and auto tune and thats Morissette she's not even in her prime yet
Just try her "I dont wanna miss a thing" I swear you might shook this performance
Maybe you can try Sia, her cracks and breaks just prove it no autotune in her recording or live performance.
In fact he is Steve Lukather, man! Awesome!
I played guitar in the studio and wrote for a young female vocalist around 2010ish and she grew up listening to autotuned vocals and when she sang she sounded autotuned complete with attempted artifacts. We were blown away!
Oh hey man love the story! Would like to hear more from your experience
You have some hilarious stories LMFAO love ur vids
Thanks Daniel!
Haha best reaction video ! I like all the backstories from way back as well ! Hilarious xD
Oh no Ken you are the funniest, only if you had auto toilet tune😂😂
Traylynn Smith- Auto toilet tune😆
You look really good in this video, your hair, whiskers, and T shirt. I'm a female in case it feels weird wondering. I'm not PC all over the place hahahaha.
P.S. I'm a big Jessie J fan, great singer great songwriter, very loved, I hope she's filthy rich and keeps healthy as much as she can.
Mr Ken please help me, i have questions and i hope you can answer it.
Sound live or studios like cracks or intentional break for examples like Sia did, is she using autotune? just because she usually did it at the same time and notes in her songs at many live occasions.
I'm really curious.
Thank you.
