Runs aren't really what makes a great singer. It's his tonal quality, the strength he can sustain throughout the whole song and that he can Change the notes on the fly shows he really knows music theory. He knows how to lay the notes he improvises on the fly accurately. That's! Impressive. Anyone can do a "run"
He hasn’t deprived anyone dude. T-pain changed the sound of pop music in general and has been doing so since ‘05 . People don’t give him the credit he deserves for being such an influential figure in music.
People, including myself, used to think this guy couldn't sing, and he was accused of cheating the industry, even by Jay-Z. But he didn't bother proving anything back then. Fast forward 20 years, and he hits us with this amazing performance. Now, older and wiser, I get a bit teary-eyed, realizing I misjudged him. Props to T-Pain for just doing his thing, staying strong, and never feeling the need to prove everyone wrong all those years. I'll forever be a fan and lesson learned
@@sheilaanna And that stylistic choice to overuse auto tune gave us an entire generation of folks who SUCK at singing thinking that auto tune will just fix it. It was a mistake to have ever used auto tune to the extent that he did Thank the good lord that we have performances like this to start healing the timeline. We desperately need better musicians and performers, we've had a solid few decades without much musical talent in the mainstream.
It's almost as if T Pain decided that singing for real was too easy to find success so he purposely started his career off using auto tunes to make the game more difficult for himself.
This is the real T Pain you're listening to here. This is the type of music he's always wanted to make but had to navigate the industry to get to make his real music.
No offence but that's just not true. T-Pain created & loved his autotune sound and that's the way he came up. T-Pain singing with autotune is also 'the real T-Pain' lol
This is the truth. The reality is, his autotune is very difficult to do, he talks about it, it’s not just singing and auto tune, you have to sing “incorrectly” in a way to get his unique sound. He made a unique sound that is instantly recognizable, and created some of the greatest hits in hiphop and RnB, and is considered one the greatest hook writers of all time. This singing is beautiful but in many ways, not nearly as impressive as his “regular” sound
Zap Ping Bow!!!! I love, love, love this song, and have heard numerous extraordinary renditions, but this one, I have to say, is at the top. Thank you T.❤❤
I love how he hit us with the auto tune and gave us bops back in the day now he’s gracing us with his vocals that’s smart if you ask me. Shows he’s full of surprises
This man endured years of ridicule from certain sides for using autotune on everything because he "couldn't sing" and now we find out he did it on purpose just to mess with us lol. I love it!! LEGEND!!!
@@grienardus12yeah, it’s practically common knowledge, but, in your defense, we do need ALOT more live performances from T-Pain w/o autotune. He’s rockin his shit with this. Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He did it for the bag and he made it poppin dont lie like you wasnt feelin him when he hit the scene. Kinda fuked up how all the dik suking rappers made it cool to hate on him and the whole mumble rap/autotune its not hippop. Its a trend its gonna pass n recycle
He did it because he become fillthy rich, not because he wanted to mess with anyboby If he came up singing soul music like this, even though its way better for my taste, you wouldnt even know who he is right now
To this day, seeing tpain perform at a festival with other artists almost 10 years ago is one of the best performances I’ve seen. He had an hour block, ended up performing for over two hours, just him, a piano and his natural voice
It’s crazy how so many people never knew he could actually sing 🤦🏼♀️ I’ve been blessed to hear his raw voice from the beginning and been in love with him since
This is the un-pressured, and industry free T-Pain. Thank God for the Masked Singer which allowed the world to hear HIM and encouraged him to go back to his first love.
If there are any Ozzy fans out there, he crushed War Pigs too during this performance. Not just T Pain, but his entire band is extremely talented and versatile.
Came here from listening to the War Pigs cover, having just found out about the Ozzman’s own recommendation of it. What a helluva performance! Him and the backing band were all on fire.
you'd be surprised how many rappers actually have an immense passion for singing like this. radio manufactured music is what the industry wants, so that's what they give us. most artists aren't ever able to break free. im glad he was able to
For those who somehow don’t know, this is originally a country song. Need more people to be like myself and T-pain here, appreciating all different types of music. It’s not about skin color, culture, anything, good music is just good music. This is T’s clear soulful take on it, but he would never have gotten here without enjoying some country first. Food for thought.
@@JohnPedder if you’re gonna quote, at least quote right, “like myself and T-pain.” And, it’s a simple comparison, encouraging more people to step outside of their fear of different music types, especially country. You sound offended over that 😂 you must’ve felt attacked. Don’t be afraid of a cowboy little man!
What’s most incredible is that T-Pain will end up having the most longevity of any rapper during the 2000s because he has a generational singing voice that will last him the rest of his life. I can easily see t pain still releasing music 20 years from now that I would enjoy listening too.
I feel like a lot of us have known T-pain has a crazy singing voice for a while now, but THIS is the video I’m pulling up when people don’t believe me from now on 😂😍
Nah, a lot of people actually didn't know and I'm pretty sure with this video having over 2 million views in 3 months. You really won't even need to prove to anyone that T-pain can sing, because they either already seen this video or will probably stumble across it.
Have you been living under a rock?? If you haven’t already stumbled on one of his many past clean singing videos you big dumb for assuming everyone else in the world will find this one 😂 what is this comment.
I won't lie, now that i've heard his true singing voice I feel like I've been robbed for the last 20 years 😂😊
You’re beautiful
Same
YES....I feel robbed and offended. I have listened to this 3x
Literally 😠
So...yall never seen his "tiny desk concert" video? Check it out, you'll appreciate him even more
If T-Pain does a tour like this with no auto-tune, no dj, no dancers, it's just him showing off that he can sing. I'm there
That's the problem everyone always thought it was auto tune and he WAS singing
Did yall see him on the Masked Singer? And oml listen to TPaiN mash up

I can only imagine T-Pain and Chris Stapleton covering THIS on stage together! How sweet it would be ❤
God, that would melt the ice caps with heat so hot the devil himself would sweat. Please lord let them collaborate
If they do, T-Pain shouldn’t need autotune for it
An acoustic cover with the two of them... That shit could stop an entire war. God id love to hear that!
I was thinking this the whole time 🥹🥹🥹🥹 he had the best version ever and now T-Pain, my heart would literally explode 😭
Yeeesssss
Now let’s see Chris Stapleton do “I’m in love with a stripper”

Lol dang

We need a full album & tour with ABSOLUTELY NO AUTOTUNE! That man can SANG!!
He just made a cover album my nigga, no autotune no nothin
He has the cover album and the live album
Why do you say > normally it has to be > right?
Agreed😊💛
I swear He has been singing without auto tune for a while now right?
You can tell his roots come from that gospel music. Lord please use him for your glory!

Why the hell would you
Come in with low expectations? Hes been doing non auto tune his whole career. U people r whats wrong w the world
You deprived yourself of knowing this....he could always sing. He would sing his own songs with out Autotune
He been able to sing

He’s on record saying that he didn’t think he’d break through so he used auto tune to differentiate himself
His autotune is really badass though. Him and Post Malone are the only people that can pull off that kinda sound...
Brought tears in my eyes. Didn’t know T-pain can sing! He’s amazing 🥲🥹❤
History will prove right. T-Pain is right up among the talented artists to ever exist. Yes, that far.

@@1972Ventura455holots of artist used autotune but not in the artistic way he did that’s the point he’s making

That's not necessarily a good thing....because he spawned a decade or more of AutoTuned SH*T.
All of a sudden I like this song
