Kasey's tribute performance was THE BEST part of the whole VMA Awards Show. ErinS.Y.✨️💖⚘️⚘️⚘️🕊
Kaseys voice is autotuned, my apologies to Dolly fans.
Ugh. The Dolly portion was amazing but was that even a human performance after or some AI creation? It was definitely computer created in any case whether a deep fake or just heavy handed autotune. Can the singer actually carry a tune without the use of heavy handed tuning? It sounds horrendous and such a failure to tribute a real voice with human emotion and grit.
Autotune! 😢
Don’t use autotune live, that’s a pure shame.
gross auto tune. spitting on her grave
Exactly how is this at tribute to Dolly Parton and her amazing NATURAL voice to sing AUTOTUNED with a crappy natural voice? Completely disrespectful! This computer manipulated, lazy singing has got to stop!
Auto tune is no tribute.
Just don’t autotune. These robot sounds are disgusting.
Live auto tuning is amazing isn’t it?
Seriously, you couldn't let leave the singers voice alone. The damn auto tuning you put on ever singer is embarrassing ….Leave the voice natural, you vultures. You can hear modulation through out the entire song. Dolly didn't need it so you shouldn't do it to this singer
Horrendous. This was both auto-tuned in real time and pitch corrected post-production. Not properly honoring Dolly, who did not sing with this artifice. They should have gotten someone who could sing this song.
Auto tuned 🙁
Dolly was original OG🤟
Fantastic she's fantastic singer
I was crying because I miss her so much 😢
Whitney, Christina and Jennifer Hudson are the best singer for this Song. Sorry😊
How they cut the video of Dolly before and after Kacey was absolutely special. 🥹
Im in tears right now 😢 ❤❤❤❤❤
