Whether you love or hate autotune, there’s no denying that the vocal effect which alters a singer’s voice to attain perfect pitch has had a profound affect on music, and to a lesser extent, pop culture. The first time autotune was prominently used in a song was in Cher’s 1998 song “Believe.” Since then, autotune has taken on a life of its own – from being used quite regularly by Hip Hop artists like Kanye West and T-Pain to hilarious and extremely popular web clips which feature autotuned versions of mundane news reports.

And though Jay-Z might think autotune is dead, we beg to differ. The following autotuned clip of Steve Jobs’ 2007 iPhone introduction at Macworld is simply brilliant.
