Shurikid,
to be honest I don't need any proofs or someone's opinion to understand whether pitch correction is used or not. Of course I know about multiple takes and stuff, but nobody can reproduce the sound which was born by correcting one's pitch, it's different from natural one when it's easily heard. Many, many notes are corrected beautifully so you'd never guess that they were...but the ones that were especially far from the right pitch are easy to hear.
I believe my ears, why wouldn't I? I repeat, I'm not deaf, not tone-deaf, I sing myself and use pitch correction so why wouldn't I notice it when it's clearly there? And what's the big deal? Both Ayu and Utada use it but NOT over-use it which isthe most important.
No offenence, but it always makes me smile when people can't hear pitch correction, have a very tiny idea of what it is and how it should sound and defend someone.
It's just not universal ability to hear such things.
We don't need proofs that someone is singing in key or off-key. It's whether you CAN hear it or not, same applies to the above.


If this is so, provide examples of such if possible. A song and point a particular portion which you experience her voice being correct(type the tracking time for the song/video).

Also 12/08 had worst vocals why now? I didn't feel a strike difference with the exception of Letters being better on 12/8. But these are opinions. Whatever.

This is what I'm saying. If you're going to make a claim, you have to back it up with more than your own personal interpretation of sound. I think I've mentioned it in response to you before, but I also sing and have a pretty clear comprehension of pitch and voice. I've never used auto-tune because I've only ever sung live on stage, but I do have a close friend who uses corrections in his music and when I listen to what he does and what I hear from Utada, I don't pick up on the same vocal alterations. Utada edits her voice in the studio, no doubt; she uses all kinds of effects and enhancers. But I can't say definitively that auto-tune is one of them. Unless you can provide a direct example as proof of what you're saying, you're arguing an aimless debate.

Also, anyone can hear auto-tune if they know how to listen for it. Even someone whose tone-deaf is not necessarily prevented from understanding a song note for note; it's just that they struggle with producing certain notes themselves (hence the term "tone-deaf" being somewhat of a misnomer).
