Now... who is really wrong here? Just because she doesn't over use the heck out of it in all of her live performances, doesn't mean she doesn't use it. Also... Why didn't she take vocal lessons BEFORE branding herself as a singer? She probably would have been seen as a truly authentic and talented performer if she took lessons before milking impressionable girls for everything they're worth. Please have ALL of the facts and let us not take sides like we are immature school children. Yes she's a decent songwriter that has plenty of room to grow and maybe she can be an even better singer once she ditches the auto-tune and the compelling need to lie about not ever using it.
