I've seen many creators have videos taken down, lose revenue, appeal, and then get their video back up (after the video has lost momentum for views). To see RUclips not default to initially blocking is new to me.
Speaking as a musician, for the nearly 5 years that I've been following your channel, I believed and still believe that you provide a very special contribution to music. It was encouraging to hear that RUclips took your side in a difficult situation, to put it mildly. I have to admit that I felt a bit nervous when I listened at the beginning. Your motto that "perseverance will prevail" remains an inspirational message to all musicians and all who hear you. Thanks for all you do...we love ya, Fil! 💖
It is unusual but fair use is fair use. Hopefully RUclips will start manually reviewing more of these cases. I somehow doubt it since it is a labour intensive process and will eat into their profits.
Something changed, and I am 100% certain that they wouldn't be this fair if not something is up. Maybe RUclips is being investigated for the usual behaviour, and now being fair. I am 100% sure there is something behind it. I will never believe RUclips all of a sudden is this company that is fair and towards their content creators.
People seem so happy to be lied to these days. They will even pay huge amounts of money to be lied to. In music, in politics, art, and education. Thank you for standing up for the objective truth. Rock on Fil 🤟
I totally agree. I said the same thing to my wife recently. Humans don't care about truth. They want someone to lie to them in order to make them feel better about whatever insecurities they may have.
This is one of the best channels on RUclips. In the old days we would have called it great television. We live in a world where the line between what's real and what's not is being erased. Good to see someone who can show us who is pitch corrected or miming and who is keeping it completely real .
I just made a very similar comment here. Indeed, fake news and deception is all around is in every sphere of life. Fil has been on the receiving end of so much push-back for shining the light of truth on things. It is such a good feeling to see him supported by yt here, for once.
Fil. Single-handedly changing the music industry. 🎉🎉🎉 As a singer this really matters to me. Ive spent years and years and lots of money honing a craft and its dreadful that people without talent use tech to cheat and pretend they’ve done the work. Many thanks for giving me hope. Some people do care.
Fil is not going to "single-handedly" change anything! He is going to need ALL of us real music lovers and artists with integrity doing more than just hitting that thumbs up button and subscribing to his estimable RUclips channel. Time for all of us to start doing some 'heavy lifting'! Many people care but most of us require some heavy prodding to get our butts in gear and do something! As a singer, do you make it known publicly and in no uncertain terms like Fil does that you DO NOT use pitch correction or Auto-Tune on your voice? I wish more artist would make this statement, loudly and often - because THAT is what will change the music industry standard practice of using pitch "correction" on the voices of great singers.
The payola scandal exposure was also a harsh spotlighting of the underhanded dealings of "The Music Biz". Of course now it is anything goes for the corporations that control content access and royalties payment scale.
The whole music industry rap country rap garbage rap, certain stars Taylor Swift. They're all corrupt I'. Ve seen so many bands live, especially the ones that are olderand you could tell. They've done some stuff to their music journey. Et. Cetera. The only 2 bands that I've seen live. That sound anything like real music. Are Greta Van Fleet and Coldplay.

Dear Fil, we can see the honesty of your work. You are an upright young man and it is written on your face. Thank you for your excellent analyses, so relevant, clear and interesting! I am happy RUclips was on your side!
Amazingly, RUclips has actually listened and found in your favor! This is certainly a positive for you! Hopefully, this will shed new light! Great news! 💜
It’s not like you’re out to “get” some particular artist, you are fair to everyone, you have a high level of knowledge to do this job, and I learn something every time. I find the auto-tune trend that is happening is sad. I was a teen in the 70’s and am glad all was real.
Same. When I found out they'd been pitch correcting Freddie Mercury's voice it got to me in a very intense way. I saw Queen live in the 70s as a teen and have been a lifelong fan. This trend has to become known and disparaged before it is stopped, and Fil is at the vanguard of this. It's actually protecting artist integrity and musical heritage for generations to come. It's not some mean spirited smear campaign!
I watch ALL of your videos and have not only found them not only totally informative and interesting, but ALWAYS done in a completely ethical manner. The fact that YT actually backed you up (an extremely rare thing) proves that there is still some sanity left in the world.

Well done Fil. I have watched you for years - when you used to do guitar tutorials. Who would have thought you'd become globally important, that all over the world (e.g. here in Australia) people are changing their views based on your tremendous analysis.
So true. I've been seeing more and more news articles and news videos referencing Fil and the work he does here, and they come from EVERYwhere. So cool that he's gaining more recognition for this and educating folks at the same time.
Fil, you are a professional. That is the highest compliment that I can give. On RUclips I have given it to 6 others out of the hundreds I have observed. Not that getting this honor from me means much, but I am of the Iovine family (Jimmy is our patriarch) and have some experience in the music industry. Your methodology is pure; your analysis is objective and all conclusions come from only that which you could substantiate. You are well respected by us, and so many others who want this bullshit enhancements exposed. Keep at it.

Your great efforts help keep words like "authentic" and "real" anchored to our world, Fil.
@@M0odyBlueif you had said live music is the only real thing left I would have agreed with you but it seems more and more that too many artists are trying to get away with a little too much studio polish applied to their music 😢
I challenge you to find a video made by a fan of Bryan Adams in concert...he gives copyright strikes to people who post them via a company called Web Sherriff that he employs and endorses
I remember when live music aas exactly that actual people playing singing . All the forgotten words and bum notes was what made the music real .KEEP MUSIC LIVE ❤❤
I have always said that I would rather see a singer that hits a bum note or stuffs up a lyric that is engaging and entertaining than watch a pitch perfect performance by a dead fish type of personality and performance. I have seen clips of both Pink and Adele who have fluffed up their lyrics and the both just had a good laugh at themselves then got on with the show not a hint of being precious and it made me like them all the more for it.
@@nataliemarshall7158 A Japanese producer on a Korean/Japanese survival show said during a vocal check that it wasn't necessarily that he was looking for a pitch-perfect performance from them, but that he wanted to see that they were enjoying themselves. That they loved the music. It really stuck with me, bc so many people go on about perfect singing but forget it's about the love of music that really matters. (Soma Genda, during &Audition)
Wow! That's awesome that YT took your side. Yeah, this conversation has to happen. I have been going to concerts since 1985. When I see a live show, I want the mistakes, delays and experience that only a live show can give.
I'm so glad YT was on your side. BTW, Just in case you missed it. A RUclipsr, Top Music Attorney, supported you on your video about the scammers green screening AGT etc. It dropped 2 months ago. It's called Lawyer Reacts To Wings Of Pegasus - THIS is the BIGGEST musical fraud I've EVER seen. Great job!
Good point that it’s probably not Bryan himself, but the production team that did this and is attempting to make sure Bryan doesn’t see what they did to his work.
@@Inisfad Adams has been making frivolous takedown notices for decades. If it was his production team doing it against his will, or without his knowledge, you’d think he’d have replaced them by now.
@@donsample1002 He employs and endorses Web Sherriff to do it...I discovered this when I got 2 copyright strikes for 2 Bryan Adams videos I uploaded to my channel from a gig...if I had uploaded 3, my channel with over 800 videos of mostly grassroots bands would have been closed down...sad I can't share the 6 videos of him performing, as it was an awesome gig...but now tarnished
@@RiksVids It's one thing to discover that a favourite artist you've been a fan of since the eighties has had his beautiful natural voice pitch-MANGLED but it's quite another to find out that he knows about it and allows it to happen AND tries to destroy the evidence of it. Now, that right there is very definition of devastation. :(
I think youtube knows Fil is a Fan, and is fair regardless. It's just info, good info, done in a very fair way. Anyone that watches this channel should know this channel does not pull any funny business. I watch for the musical education and great bands/artist he's featured over the years. Always respectful, insightful, educational and an occasional laugh.
Don't be concerned Fil, the vast majority of people are not interested in what is true if it cuts across what they want to hear whether it is true or not,... with the work you are doing you can't help but step on the toes of those who go shoeless or truthless in this case : ) Your work is needed and appreciated very much in these days of lies and coverups!
Fil, you also analyse voices that aren’t corrected, eg Karen Carpenter, Doris Day, Judy Garland; your critics fail to bring up these examples of your work 😂! Keep up the fascinating appraisal of the modern music industry. It’s an education for us non-musicians.
I'm sorry, but when you said "I don't know why people wouldn't want to know the truth", I busted out laughing. I live in the U.S.A. 😂😂. I appreciate your work. If there is going to be auto tune for some legit reason, own up to it. Have a notation saying what percentage autotuned.
@Lazarusb Unfortunately, i know folks on both sides of the aisle that want to walk through life with blinders on. Life is less scary if you do, but you better have a wise driver who can take seeing, and is good at avoiding the dangers. But, back to music, I recently bought a new "remastered" vynyl of an old favorite that I am convinved is autotuned. I know this mans voice well. I felt betrayed by the lable. And I doubt the artist knew this. If they marketed as such, far enough. I might want it anyway. But be honest!
@@Lazarusb I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's election is suddenly making RUclips toe the real line of the law over fair use. I'm not even political but Biden-Harris and the Dems' easy-peasy behaviour towards the law was undoubtedly why RUclips has been so bold in ignoring the law and suppressing free speech from people they disagree with. And don't kid yourself. I've had literally hundreds of my comments deleted by them and they were in no way offensive to anyone but the woke and PC!
@@elizabethmiller7291 Realistically for an artist like that an individual live performance is much the same as you or me spending a day at the office or working a shift in a factory etc. Unless something unusual happens, or someone draws a particular issue to their attention, they're not likely to review it. It's another day doing what they do, they're not going to review every performance and listen to everything that's been officially released from it.
@@shaun5552 Well, Bryan is definitely going to find out about this, not that I am convinced he doesn't already know what is happening. I've seen so many artists take the attitude about all of this as 'it is what it is'. That kind of defeatist thinking, especially from great singers, is surprising to me.
everyone who has been to a concert where they played to recorded, auto tuned vocals should file a class action lawsuit against the artists, record companies etc for fraud
£400 pound a ticket (unless you are a labour politician,) to hear Swift mime???? I would rather pay my poll tax for 3 and a 1/2 months. Mind you I am not a teeny bopper, I never was.
So many lies and cheats in all walks of life nowadays Fil! Thankyou for telling the truth and please carry on. Why can’t singers just sing! It’s that easy! And if you need auto tuning then you’re obviously not good enough!
Your videos are as geeky, technical, analytical, scientific and educational as music review videos get for the purpose of review, commentary and criticism! And that is AWESOME! Keep it up, you are setting textbook standards for fair use!
Thanks Fil for explaining the same questions over and over w such patience and calm. Your cool head and sharp ear for the truth are earning you more & more viewers! You are improving my ear for autotune as well! 👍
I genuinely appreciate your objective stance concerning your work. You always stay calm, cool, and collected. We should all take a page from your book.
I am glad youtube is standing beside you. I don't know why people do that, its not like anyone is saying they are no talent hacks. She's. Keep up the great work Fil !
To paraphrase Jake Nicholson “they can’t handle the truth!” Thank you for being the light in the tunnel of vocal productions! I hate that the Human factor is being removed from our music.
I love that you seem to be unstoppable. Keep bringing us all the objective truths about all of it. Love your channel. Love your integrity and honesty. I actually enjoy hearing the hard truths about some singers I've respected over the years. Initially, for the first few seconds, it's like "daaaaaamn, I was hoping X didn't lip sync in all his shows", Then it goes away and I'm like "But I'm glad there's Fil to let us know the reality of the situation, the objective truth with irrefutable data. ROCK!
Fil, thank you for taking a strong stand against this trend of using auto pitch to render live performances of great vocalists inhuman, vanilla and less exciting. Keep doing it! xoxoxoxoxoxo
Your videos are always very interesting. I love non biased reporting like yours. That’s why I prefer RUclips information over main stream television reporting 🎉
A deep bow & deep respect for you. I pass your videos on to others all the time, so they can understand what's going on, and the extent to which we're now hearing robots instead of humans. I also love your stance about featuring artists you admire & enjoy. If anything, it's more important you feature them when this robotization happens, because perhaps we can get back to hearing these excellent artists as intended, rather than filtered through machines. Spending time on them indicates you *care*, that we *care*, about what we're listening to. The chump "artists* who *need* autotune really don't matter as much as those artists who don't need it, but are inexplicably using it anyway. I hope every so-called "producer" out there is taking notice. You're doing the music industry & the human race a great service. Hopefully someday posterity & history look back on the 2010-2030 era as a brief blip of an abomination.
@wingsofpegasus your channel offers essential critical analysis and is of the highest calibre and integrity, serving the public interest. I have learnt so much from your channel. Would love to see you do analysis on some early Bee Gees performances as their voices at times seem too good to be wholly true?
Very well done. If you are fan of music like me If you hold artistic integrity dear to your heart like me Then this video is very good news to hear. This shows that your work and your message is hitting home to major artists. I seriously doubt that Adams would condone this and if he does, it MAY be a case of keeping up with the Jones’s In that. He may figure that, everyone else is not only USING autotune, but also, NOBODY is noticing Which is why I love this channel and what you do Fil. Because it represents people like ME - who DO notice it. We notice it and we CRINGE when we hear it. Artists like Mick Jagger, Billy Joel, Liam Gallagher. It doesn’t sit well with me when I hear singers like these using technology to replicate their voice to stick them to A440 . It sounds robotic, soulless and FALSE Keep up the (EVIDENTLY) great work mate!!! You are hitting home!!!
I watch a video from time to time and I am amazed by your wisdom. You know who you are, what you stand for and all I see is kindness and fairness. You’re still at such a young age, it’s mind blowing. Respect. ✌️🌈😊🇧🇪
I love how you are very fair to the musicians' performances and ....yes we do as fans need to know when auto tuning and pitch correction is being applied ....thank you for working so hard to school us in what we are hearing
@@SuziQ.There are many fan videos of Keane live from the Royal Albert. Tom Chaplin doesn’t rely on autotune to make himself sound better. Killers as well.
@ I seen them 5 times. When he hits a note that’s a little under, you can hear it, but that’s part of the live experience. However, there was the 2007 Live At O2 Arena where they pitch corrected him in postproduction. In fact, Fil has a video on it. I don’t think that was approved by the band though.
It’s encouraging to see honesty and integrity prevail and for YT to support that! Kudos, Fil, on your professionalism, kindness, and integrity. You are truly a light in what seems like darkness completely surrounding us these days. I say this with great appreciation. Rock on!
Thanks RUclips...and most of all thank you FIL! It's like a breath of fresh air in this crazy world we live in to actually listen to someone who is so respectful and honest that RUclips even takes his side! I'm also a fan of Bryan Adams...he has a unique rasp to his voice and with his tone...he makes you "feel" his songs. I hate pitch correction and autotune....makes me feel like I'm getting an "artificially flavored" singer! I want it Natural!....like my food😁Thanks again FIL for your hard work and dedication...keep on keepin on!
Thank you Fil for showing objectivly to everybody who wants to hear this kind of rather sad news how the music industry messes with our perception of music. It`s a very positive turn of events that youtube took your side on this topic and I hope you have an impact not just on us, the ones following your channel, but on the whole industry itself. This would be really great !
Keep up the good work. That’s why I listen to a lot of older music. I want the emotion and imperfections in the original voice. I hate when they auto tune that music.
With this blow up of your channel recently, I wonder if you've considered that YOU alone could be the catalyst for a HUGE (and welcome) change in the industry. I used to complain about AT and fake live performances on my YT 10 years ago. Finally some accountability and transparency. Keep them coming. Love it! From Australia 🤘🤘🤘
"A lot of videos from the Royal Albert Hall seem to be pitch corrected." That's a very interesting comment because it makes me think live performances 'anywhere' are suspect (as you have already proven in other vids). Kudos to you for your integrity.
Thats the first time Ive ever heard of RUclips taking this stance. Its actually encouraging.
RUclips has been doing this for many years now, it just doesn't happen that often unfortunately.

Your great efforts help keep words like "authentic" and "real" anchored to our world, Fil.
It feels sometimes that music is one of the only real things we have left in his world. It is a source of consolation and joy.
@@M0odyBlueif you had said live music is the only real thing left I would have agreed with you but it seems more and more that too many artists are trying to get away with a little too much studio polish applied to their music 😢
Come on Bryan.. Don't embarrass us Canadians. You're better than that!
Hey, inflation..every penny counts when you live on a percentage or royalty. Bryan cant go back and be young and vigorous again, his turn is over
Especially when he liked the Columbian Marching Powder, allegedly.
It didn't do Whitneys voice any good at all.
Don't worry. The bar has been set so high with Nickleback that I don't think there is anything that Bryan could do that could touch that threshold...
I challenge you to find a video made by a fan of Bryan Adams in concert...he gives copyright strikes to people who post them via a company called Web Sherriff that he employs and endorses
@@RiksVids "Artists" who do that are obviously hiding something. The Eagles proved that.

@Fil Who is quoted here?
Indeed. A Fil-quote for the ages! Can we get that on a mug!?
@@kevin1975-c8y I chuckled at that, too.
@@elizabethmiller7291 Indeed , this quote needs a t-shirt printing ------------------------- still trying to get my head around it.
Yes a nice use of a conditional there.
I remember when live music aas exactly that actual people playing singing . All the forgotten words and bum notes was what made the music real .KEEP MUSIC LIVE ❤❤
I have always said that I would rather see a singer that hits a bum note or stuffs up a lyric that is engaging and entertaining than watch a pitch perfect performance by a dead fish type of personality and performance.
I have seen clips of both Pink and Adele who have fluffed up their lyrics and the both just had a good laugh at themselves then got on with the show not a hint of being precious and it made me like them all the more for it.
@nataliemarshall7158 here hear !!💯
@@nataliemarshall7158 A Japanese producer on a Korean/Japanese survival show said during a vocal check that it wasn't necessarily that he was looking for a pitch-perfect performance from them, but that he wanted to see that they were enjoying themselves. That they loved the music. It really stuck with me, bc so many people go on about perfect singing but forget it's about the love of music that really matters.
(Soma Genda, during &Audition)
Wow! That's awesome that YT took your side. Yeah, this conversation has to happen. I have been going to concerts since 1985. When I see a live show, I want the mistakes, delays and experience that only a live show can give.
Fil!!! You are doing something important..
Keep doing what you do. The music business and many artists need a watch dog. Integrity & honesty seem to mean less & less to them.
Great work Fil, you are doing a service for all of us.
I'm so glad YT was on your side. BTW, Just in case you missed it. A RUclipsr, Top Music Attorney, supported you on your video about the scammers green screening AGT etc. It dropped 2 months ago. It's called Lawyer Reacts To Wings Of Pegasus - THIS is the BIGGEST musical fraud I've EVER seen. Great job!
Good point that it’s probably not Bryan himself, but the production team that did this and is attempting to make sure Bryan doesn’t see what they did to his work.
@@Inisfad Adams has been making frivolous takedown notices for decades. If it was his production team doing it against his will, or without his knowledge, you’d think he’d have replaced them by now.
He always struck me as being a bit of a d**k. Was never a big fan. ⭐️🇨🇦
@@donsample1002 He employs and endorses Web Sherriff to do it...I discovered this when I got 2 copyright strikes for 2 Bryan Adams videos I uploaded to my channel from a gig...if I had uploaded 3, my channel with over 800 videos of mostly grassroots bands would have been closed down...sad I can't share the 6 videos of him performing, as it was an awesome gig...but now tarnished
It is easy to live with eyes closed.
@@RiksVids It's one thing to discover that a favourite artist you've been a fan of since the eighties has had his beautiful natural voice pitch-MANGLED but it's quite another to find out that he knows about it and allows it to happen AND tries to destroy the evidence of it. Now, that right there is very definition of devastation. :(
Thank you to Fil for your integrity, and thank you to RUclips for standing up for Fil!
Fil, we love you and respect you. Keep going. You are doing great for all of us.
I think youtube knows Fil is a Fan, and is fair regardless. It's just info, good info, done in a very fair way. Anyone that watches this channel should know this channel does not pull any funny business. I watch for the musical education and great bands/artist he's featured over the years. Always respectful, insightful, educational and an occasional laugh.
Totally agree
Yeah - authenticity friggin' MATTERS!!
Integrity matters. 💙
Well done ,Fil! Thank you for having integrity in all you post. 🎉❤
Don't be concerned Fil, the vast majority of people are not interested in what is true if it cuts across what they want to hear whether it is true or not,... with the work you are doing you can't help but step on the toes of those who go shoeless or truthless in this case : ) Your work is needed and appreciated very much in these days of lies and coverups!
Fil, you also analyse voices that aren’t corrected, eg Karen Carpenter, Doris Day, Judy Garland; your critics fail to bring up these examples of your work 😂! Keep up the fascinating appraisal of the modern music industry. It’s an education for us non-musicians.
Excellent! I had no idea RUclips could be that reasonable. Cheers.
They'll be that reasonable as long as your content isn't conservative politically or doesn't feature firearms.
The most memorable vocals contain human imperfections! Excellent video! Keep them coming.
You are doing something very vital and very important. Cheers, Fil! ✌️
I absolutely love how transparent you are, you don't come across it much these days especially on RUclips.
I'm sorry, but when you said "I don't know why people wouldn't want to know the truth", I busted out laughing. I live in the U.S.A. 😂😂. I appreciate your work. If there is going to be auto tune for some legit reason, own up to it. Have a notation saying what percentage autotuned.
Yeah... you nailed it... not a single Trump supporter wants to hear the truth. Not one!
@@LazarusbDon’t open that can of worms. You’ll get stomped on like a narc at a biker rally.
@Lazarusb Unfortunately, i know folks on both sides of the aisle that want to walk through life with blinders on. Life is less scary if you do, but you better have a wise driver who can take seeing, and is good at avoiding the dangers. But, back to music, I recently bought a new "remastered" vynyl of an old favorite that I am convinved is autotuned. I know this mans voice well. I felt betrayed by the lable. And I doubt the artist knew this. If they marketed as such, far enough. I might want it anyway. But be honest!
@@Lazarusb 🤡
@@Lazarusb I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's election is suddenly making RUclips toe the real line of the law over fair use. I'm not even political but Biden-Harris and the Dems' easy-peasy behaviour towards the law was undoubtedly why RUclips has been so bold in ignoring the law and suppressing free speech from people they disagree with. And don't kid yourself. I've had literally hundreds of my comments deleted by them and they were in no way offensive to anyone but the woke and PC!
Those who follow your channel know you are a man of integrity and honesty. Don't let the haters get to you.
And I appreciate your point that Bryan might not even know they did this to his voice.
How could he not know? I mean, seriously. Well, if he doesn't know, he will soon!
@@elizabethmiller7291 Realistically for an artist like that an individual live performance is much the same as you or me spending a day at the office or working a shift in a factory etc.
Unless something unusual happens, or someone draws a particular issue to their attention, they're not likely to review it. It's another day doing what they do, they're not going to review every performance and listen to everything that's been officially released from it.
@@shaun5552 Well, Bryan is definitely going to find out about this, not that I am convinced he doesn't already know what is happening. I've seen so many artists take the attitude about all of this as 'it is what it is'. That kind of defeatist thinking, especially from great singers, is surprising to me.
Thank you Fil. Good job RUclips! The world is lining up behind you!
everyone who has been to a concert where they played to recorded, auto tuned vocals should file a class action lawsuit against the artists, record companies etc for fraud
£400 pound a ticket (unless you are a labour politician,) to hear Swift mime???? I would rather pay my poll tax for 3 and a 1/2 months. Mind you I am not a teeny bopper, I never was.
@ exactly , like 8 years ago i paid 1k canadian to see the eagles, i want my money back they committed fraud

@@jhvdwalt2874 the opinion of a young immature “swifty” means nothing to anyone
@@guitarplayer5932 again karen calm down its not good for your health
Wow, this is actually stunning to me! I can't believe RUclips didn't just take down your video! Win for common sense and sanity! 😀👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great job Fil, you are the bright light of truth in a world of cheaters!
So many lies and cheats in all walks of life nowadays Fil! Thankyou for telling the truth and please carry on. Why can’t singers just sing! It’s that easy! And if you need auto tuning then you’re obviously not good enough!
Wow, that's good to hear about YT, very good to know that they do (at least sometimes) right by the creators as well. Congrats.
This is good news for you , Fil, and it should encourage you to keep on going!!
I agree. Good work Fil! I find your videos very informative.
Well done, Fil. Vindicated! And your closing points are spot on!!!
A rare win for the good guy!
This is great, I'm so tired of people who get mad or want to bully someone abuse the copyright system.
Some just can’t handle the truth. Love your site
The truth is powerful! Outstanding work dude.
It's validation for you and your analysis videos. RUclips has made the right decision. Keep going, Fil. 🔥
Your videos are as geeky, technical, analytical, scientific and educational as music review videos get for the purpose of review, commentary and criticism! And that is AWESOME! Keep it up, you are setting textbook standards for fair use!
I love it Fil, keep the fight going. We want LIVE music
Thanks Fil for explaining the same questions over and over w such patience and calm. Your cool head and sharp ear for the truth are earning you more & more viewers! You are improving my ear for autotune as well! 👍
This will be the first of many. Please continue your excellent work.👍🏽
I genuinely appreciate your objective stance concerning your work. You always stay calm, cool, and collected. We should all take a page from your book.
I am glad youtube is standing beside you. I don't know why people do that, its not like anyone is saying they are no talent hacks. She's. Keep up the great work Fil !
To paraphrase Jake Nicholson “they can’t handle the truth!”
Thank you for being the light in the tunnel of vocal productions! I hate that the Human factor is being removed from our music.
Victory for the sane is always sweet.
Keep up the great work mate
I love that you seem to be unstoppable. Keep bringing us all the objective truths about all of it. Love your channel. Love your integrity and honesty. I actually enjoy hearing the hard truths about some singers I've respected over the years. Initially, for the first few seconds, it's like "daaaaaamn, I was hoping X didn't lip sync in all his shows", Then it goes away and I'm like "But I'm glad there's Fil to let us know the reality of the situation, the objective truth with irrefutable data. ROCK!
Good job Fil. Keep up the excellent work.
You are doing a great service and many of us truly appreciate your work!
Fil, thank you for taking a strong stand against this trend of using auto pitch to render live performances of great vocalists inhuman, vanilla and less exciting. Keep doing it! xoxoxoxoxoxo
Your videos are always very interesting. I love non biased reporting like yours. That’s why I prefer RUclips information over main stream television reporting 🎉
Keep speaking the truth and many blessings to you 🙏
A deep bow & deep respect for you. I pass your videos on to others all the time, so they can understand what's going on, and the extent to which we're now hearing robots instead of humans.
I also love your stance about featuring artists you admire & enjoy. If anything, it's more important you feature them when this robotization happens, because perhaps we can get back to hearing these excellent artists as intended, rather than filtered through machines. Spending time on them indicates you *care*, that we *care*, about what we're listening to. The chump "artists* who *need* autotune really don't matter as much as those artists who don't need it, but are inexplicably using it anyway.
I hope every so-called "producer" out there is taking notice. You're doing the music industry & the human race a great service.
Hopefully someday posterity & history look back on the 2010-2030 era as a brief blip of an abomination.
@wingsofpegasus your channel offers essential critical analysis and is of the highest calibre and integrity, serving the public interest. I have learnt so much from your channel. Would love to see you do analysis on some early Bee Gees performances as their voices at times seem too good to be wholly true?
Fil - shining a light for true art and artists who sing their soul with their voice. Great work, thanks. I'm so glad YT stood with you on this.
Very well done.
If you are fan of music like me
If you hold artistic integrity dear to your heart like me
Then this video is very good news to hear.
This shows that your work and your message is hitting home to major artists.
I seriously doubt that Adams would condone this and if he does, it MAY be a case of keeping up with the Jones’s
In that. He may figure that, everyone else is not only USING autotune, but also, NOBODY is noticing
Which is why I love this channel and what you do Fil.
Because it represents people like ME - who DO notice it.
We notice it and we CRINGE when we hear it.
Artists like Mick Jagger, Billy Joel, Liam Gallagher.
It doesn’t sit well with me when I hear singers like these using technology to replicate their voice to stick them to A440 . It sounds robotic, soulless and FALSE
Keep up the (EVIDENTLY) great work mate!!! You are hitting home!!!
I watch a video from time to time and I am amazed by your wisdom. You know who you are, what you stand for and all I see is kindness and fairness.
You’re still at such a young age, it’s mind blowing. Respect. ✌️🌈😊🇧🇪
Keep up the good work Fil.
Don't be diswayed by these people.
I love how you are very fair to the musicians' performances and ....yes we do as fans need to know when auto tuning and pitch correction is being applied ....thank you for working so hard to school us in what we are hearing
well done Fil....it does appear to be more than a coincidence that so many performances at the Royal Albert Hall are pitch corrected, i wonder why
Are the acoustics there wonky? Some venues don’t flatter the sound.
Could just be that artists of a certain level play there, and it’s become customary for that level of artist.
@@SuziQ.There are many fan videos of Keane live from the Royal Albert. Tom Chaplin doesn’t rely on autotune to make himself sound better. Killers as well.
@@chuckfriebe843 Oh, I hope you are right! I ADORE Keane! If I found out Tom Chaplin was fake, I would lose my mind.
@ I seen them 5 times. When he hits a note that’s a little under, you can hear it, but that’s part of the live experience. However, there was the 2007 Live At O2 Arena where they pitch corrected him in postproduction. In fact, Fil has a video on it. I don’t think that was approved by the band though.
Great news Fil, congrats! I think its time for Rick Beato to have you as a guest on his channel.
In a new segment called RUclipsrs interview each other
Good that you have RUclips on your side. 🤘🎸
It’s encouraging to see honesty and integrity prevail and for YT to support that! Kudos, Fil, on your professionalism, kindness, and integrity. You are truly a light in what seems like darkness completely surrounding us these days. I say this with great appreciation. Rock on!
Truth is marginalized across the board in all things.
Keep up the good work Sir!
Make pitch correction illegal and fraud! I hate it. Judy Garland should be the standard model.
Thanks RUclips...and most of all thank you FIL! It's like a breath of fresh air in this crazy world we live in to actually listen to someone who is so respectful and honest that RUclips even takes his side! I'm also a fan of Bryan Adams...he has a unique rasp to his voice and with his tone...he makes you "feel" his songs. I hate pitch correction and autotune....makes me feel like I'm getting an "artificially flavored" singer! I want it Natural!....like my food😁Thanks again FIL for your hard work and dedication...keep on keepin on!
I’m glad you’re still here.❤
Thank you Fil for showing objectivly to everybody who wants to hear this kind of rather sad news how the music industry messes with our perception of music. It`s a very positive turn of events that youtube took your side on this topic and I hope you have an impact not just on us, the ones following your channel, but on the whole industry itself. This would be really great !
You are so correct in your words. Honest analysis hopefully will result in honest conversations with artists and producers.
Keep up the good work. That’s why I listen to a lot of older music. I want the emotion and imperfections in the original voice. I hate when they auto tune that music.
With this blow up of your channel recently, I wonder if you've considered that YOU alone could be the catalyst for a HUGE (and welcome) change in the industry. I used to complain about AT and fake live performances on my YT 10 years ago. Finally some accountability and transparency. Keep them coming. Love it! From Australia 🤘🤘🤘
"A lot of videos from the Royal Albert Hall seem to be pitch corrected." That's a very interesting comment because it makes me think live performances 'anywhere' are suspect (as you have already proven in other vids). Kudos to you for your integrity.
