This is too funny, but it also makes a point.
"Wings of Pegasus" hates AI in music and other creative realms, autotune, fake performances, etc., so he decided to mess with You Tube's algorithm by posting a vid with no title, no vid but a white blank, and then ask all his followers to make comments.
The results are pretty good!
Great tag line, BTW!
Hear Taylor Swift yell and screech....
This is the voice of the greatest pop star on Earth, according to Swifties

She sounds like one of those mad Karens you see on a Youtube rant.
She does not sing but talks and yells and does so off off key as well.
Now imagine what Travis is going thru. I bet he is drinking more and more.
Bill Gates posted an article to the NYTimes this past week stating the dangers of AI: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/technology/bill-gates-ai-risks.html
wings of pegasus is very knowledgeable and really breaks down the brilliance of various artists so peeps without music talent like me can understand it
Agreed, and when he finds genuine talent, he’s really enthusiastic about it, which makes for very enjoyable and educational vids. :-)
Yes, sometimes use of autotune was fairly obvious to me, but, sometimes not, until I watched several of Fil’s (Pegasus) vids. Curiously, the correlation between artists I don’t like all that well and those who use autotune is pretty strong, but I can’t really explain that in the cases where I didn’t originally realize autotune was in play. It seems to go with the artist’s overall approach to music, I think?
Thank you. Was teaching school when I signed up. Seeing how my students were behaving, I could see the end eventually coming (and that was in 1998). I was correct.
What’s really scary is how bad David Lee Roth sounds now even WITH all these tools at his disposal.
He exposed one of the most popular YouTube vocal coaches who used autotune in (at least) one of his instructional videos.
But, as a (hack) guitar player and musician, I find Fil’s yeoman’s work in calling out major artists who mime/lip sync their vocals at live performances for which they’re charging exorbitant ticket prices, the most fascinating. Hello, Glenn Fry. It’s simple enough that those without musical backgrounds can understand it, and indisputable.
Present day concert-goers are being ripped-off bigtime!
