Dude! This goes way beyond using auto-tune to hide pitch problems. Listen to it again - she’s not hiding anything, she’s using the technology to form some very sophisticated chords and harmonic passages.

Oh well, everybody doesn’t like what I like, I guess. (But I think this is one of the most impressive solo vocal pieces ever recorded.)

I agree with you. While autotune gets slammed (and deservedly so) 99% of the time, this is one of the exceptions to the rule. And it is beautifully complex and fragile. Would that the technology7 were used more in an innovative manner like this - this is what it was invented for.
