It's Called Music, Chuckles -- Look Into It!!!

[It being the dawning of a long Holiday Weekend -- at an especially depressing time in our current American history -- I've decided to have a little fun for the next couple of days. Weightier, more serious postings, resume on Monday, when the party's over, as it were. Thanks!!! -- S.S.]

Charli XCX Responds To Boomers Criticizing Her Use Of AutoTune At Glastonbury

With Glastonbury in the books, Charli XCX has completed yet another massive Brat festival set. You’d think audiences in her home country would be most receptive to her over-the-top presentation, but apparently, some UK boomers were not pleased with Charli’s exaggerated use of AutoTune and her lack of a backing band. She shared some thoughts on the matter in a short series of tweets today following her Saturday night headlining set. She wrote:

[I'm]really enjoying these Boomer vibe comments on my glastonbury performance. it’s super fascinating to me.

Like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a “real artist” is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx

Oh puhleese. There's a phrase for doing a set with totally auto-tuned vocals and without live backup. The phrase is "Lip-synching."

Which means what she was offering the audience differed from Milli Vanilli exactly how? 😎

Also, somebody really needs to tell this pretentious low-talent bint that the words "brat" and "twat" actually rhyme. 😎 😎
