But wait, what's this?  Lil' Wayne and T-Pain step up to the mic to deliver their one coveted line each ... and it's being sung in bloody Autotune!  WTF!  Is nothing sacred?!

First of all, Autotune is so 2008. Even chavs and X-Factor watchers must surely be bored with it by now. But here's the thing. Wayne and Pain are seen singing into the mic, and the vocals appear on the soundtrack already Autotuned up. This means that the Autotune treatment was overdubbed after they laid down that vocal, or that on the video they're simply miming to an already Robotomised line. Either way, it's highly unlikely that dear old 76-year-old Quincy Jones would have felt inspired to suggest it, which only leads to the conclusion that T-Wayne insisted on it being added themselves.

Is this down to pure ego, wanting to preserve their 'trademark' sound, (at least we don't get the slamming doors sample when Akon appears,) or is it down to the fact that they really can't sing?  Any of these options are unacceptable for a project where everyone concerned should leave their ego at home. Hell, even Kanye comes across as fairly sensible and unassuming on this one. And if he can do it...

At least Lil Wayne is going to jail. He should get a year for using Autotune alone, never mind the gun charges. Now we just gotta figure out a way of getting T Pain in there too.

Still, at least we can be grateful they didn't invite Pitbull.

So, it seems only appropriate to deliver this one in Autotune speak:
