Usher waking him up to tell him that he f.d up the music industry brought me here, boy was he so wrong. He owes T-PAIN a huge apology. I mean what a voice. What a guy.
I think Usher meant the heavy Auto-tuning, which arguably is killing raw talent, if T did this from the start no one will complain. dude is talented all around.
T-Pain has a soulful voice. I don’t know what Usher said to him before but I think T-Pain could give him a run for his money. He deserved to win. He is awesome.
Autotune doesn't make a bad singer sounds better, it corrects pitch. If they overdo it, it will sound robotic, a singer needs to sing super close to the note they need to sing too. Just throwing it out there.
This is really the reason why so many people try autotune but never could master it it’s more than the actual autotune you have to have a decent voice as well
@@rashadhall1430 exactly. One of the main reasons why it was made is to help artists preserve their voice during recording if the artist was off one note, instead of repeating the whole run, they use autotune to correct that. TPAIN used it for style, not to fix his voice. JT’s Sexy Back was heavily auto-tuned too, but no one criticized him for it. The whole FUTURE SEX/Love machine used A LOT OF AUTOTUNE.
Even with autotune you can tell he a could sing. So much substance and range behind it. Just compare it to when they take a news clips and autotune it into a song... it still sounds like flat garbage. See this is why most people have terrible taste in music lol
T- pain was innovative and talented far from everyone in earlier 2000's but many artists jealousy and ignorance critized him instead for introducing a tool that at the end of the day every single one of them in the pop industry end up using it.
he was the first to use autotune as a fun elemental effect in the mainstream, but auto tune was around for at least two decades prior to this, he didn't invent it, he just revolutionized using it as a vocal effect as opposed to simply using it as pitch correction for production studios on big records. Cher was really the one who started the autotune phenomenon
Every time I hear the next song, I’m like “oh yeah! This is my favorite” until I hear the next song… Never been to a concert, never cared to go, but I would pay Taylor Swift money to go see a TPain concert of mashup songs like this live
The real ones knew it was t pain. Also knew he had a heavenly voice because of his acoustic performances back in the day to prove he had a voice and wasn’t just an auto tune singer.
Any true fan of T-Pain knows that man got sum serious skills without auto tune, but I'm glad the whole world finally got to see it, he definitely deserves it....
So many comments are directed towards his rendition of Stay With Me (and deservedly so), but I still to this day think it was important for T-Pain to sing I Don't Want To Be in week 2. It genuinely felt like him casting off the identities he had been saddled with for far too long.
I feel like now in 2024 when you think of a black southern artist with a great singing voice and super diverse musical taste including protest music....it has to be T-Pain
The reason his autotune manipulation sounded as smooth as it did is because he can actually pop those notes and is a HIT songwriter. couldnt have written it better than this: putting the world on notice in the way. noice!
To think he didn't even think he was gonna make it to the finals (that's why he chose this costume) he just wanted to have fun and show that he's still around and can SING no autotune needed
Always knew it was T Pain ...he has a particular sound. He has a couple deeper songs with little to no autotune on them like drowning again. I was so happy when he won. deserves all the respect.
t-pain has a BEAUTIFUL voice, i don't think anyone expected it but that makes it even cooler. and he looks like he's having so much fun in the costume, it's so cute 💕
I still find it crazy how do many people assumed T-pain couldn't sing Coz he purposely auto tunes his voice, well here is proof that he can sing and he's amazing!
I watched an episode of a music documentary that was all about autotune and so T-Pain was in like 90% of the episode and he was such a sweet and genuine human being that I fell in love with him. So amazing that he's been so talented this whole time and I never knew!
Listening to these judges hurt my head. T-pain has a very noticeable voice with or with out the auto tune. T-Pain I apologize for the disrespect they put on your name. Never should anyone ever here his voice and think mike Vick
Yeah but u gotta remember that they are listening to a bunch of people, and also, you can’t see who it is. Yes he has a distinct voice but it’s not completely unreasonable not to be able to guess him(also it’s probably scripted anyway)
This shit is wild. He's from my hometown and I've heard his music before fame took him the auto tune route. He has one of the most beautiful voices in the world. Any interested parties should listen to Mashup. It's him singing with his natural voice alongside accompaniment from a violinist and a pianist. He put it out when I was still in highschool and it melted me away. His voice is gorgeous and has so much power. The first time I heard it I decided that's he's the first person I'll duet on a track if I get to his level one day.
Usher's fine for me, but if he said T-Pain messed up the music industry, negatively, that's a mistake. What he did is not wrong, but it was the copycats abused what he pioneered, making the people put the blame on him.
I love the raspiness of his voice and to this day I didnt know he can sing this well. And to be fair when I hear his autotune. I would always compare it to artists who uses it and would say that Tpain is still the GOAT lol
I swear, I figure this out before a song ends...his voice was all over that "I don't want to be" and the "don't stop me now" song, how could they not get this..
Guess it's true I'm not good at a one night stand But I still need love 'cause I'm just man These nights never seem to go to plan I don't want you to leave Will you hold my hand Oh, won't you stay with me 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me Why am I so emotional?! No it's not a good look, gain some self control Deep down I know this never works? But you could lay with me So it doesn't hurt Oh, won't you stay with me 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me Oooh oh ooh oooh ooooh oh Oooh oh ooh oooh ooooh oh Oh, won't you stay with me 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me Oh, wont you stay with me Cause you're all I need This ain't love its clear to see But darling Stay with me
wish he did a album in a totally different style. him on a guitar solo or piano.... think we would see a whole new great singer and man....big up from Paris
I love the first performance, the different coloured background dancers low-key remind me of when your editing a song and there's lines in different colours.
Been a fan of T Pain since day one because he has a lot of emotion in his voice when he sings. Rappa Ternt Sanga, love ya, Pain....glad everybody is finally seeing the Pain I fell in love with.
Coming back in 2024 just to say TPain was the best masked singer winner
What about ne yo ?
Agree 💯%
What about Chris daughtry..
@@lmatochhawng4150 he lost
Agreed 💯
I love he chose songs that are far from his own genre. It's not only to confuse the judges, it shows that he sounds AMAZING in any genre
Honestly T Pains personality is just so tasteful, once I figured out how broad his interests were, it made so much sense
And just twitch streams are so fun lol
@Rdp that's an understatement lol
And straight murdered them ❤❤❤
He has such a unique voice, how can anyone not tell it is him.
Usher waking him up to tell him that he f.d up the music industry brought me here, boy was he so wrong. He owes T-PAIN a huge apology. I mean what a voice. What a guy.
@G for sure.
I think you fail to understand what usher ment by that statement..
@@mosheshamuel1014 I think we all understood exactly what he meant when he said he ruined the music industry its pretty clear.
I think Usher meant the heavy Auto-tuning, which arguably is killing raw talent, if T did this from the start no one will complain. dude is talented all around.
@G fr
This man owned summer of 07. Thanks for all the memories T-pain. You deserve all the recognition.
And 08
More summers than that. His music doesn’t get old
He was on repeat summer of ‘05 (New Zealand summer) for me - “I’m Sprung”
T-Pain got a unique voice, if you know your music, you'll know its him. There's no other singer that sounds like him.
It’s one of the reason he was forced into using auto
Well, Thicke thinks Sugar Ray Leonard lol
@@kaysheaalfred3329 there's no autotune, people think u can just sing with autotune, it don't work like that
Big Facts!!!!!
@@D6TheProducer yup. Pitch correction was made for slight adjustments. It's not gonna make you stay in key if you are wildly out of range
It's like come on if you a real fan.... U immediately Know it's T Pain
I know right !
Nah
Yeah I def heard his voice and Kandi's
@T Vang That's why I put real fans 🤦♂️
Factz I went to Famu while he was hot
T-Pain has a soulful voice. I don’t know what Usher said to him before but I think T-Pain could give him a run for his money. He deserved to win. He is awesome.
t pain is a better all around singer for sure
I hope Usher is super jealous of him
@@Samtino20lol sentiments
@@IslaRoseAtkinsonwhy would u hope for something like that
T-Pain unmasked bouncing around in the monster costume will always be adorable
I have had that gif saved in my photo roll since the first time I saw it 😂😂 instant mood lift
I love how he did different genres from his usual genre. It kept his identity hidden longer
I honestly had no idea he had such a good voice. I mean who knew the king of Autotune actually has a great voice.
Are you kidding? You have to look at his Tiny desk performance. It was live and no autotune to be found. He was singing his ass off!
Autotune doesn't make a bad singer sounds better, it corrects pitch. If they overdo it, it will sound robotic, a singer needs to sing super close to the note they need to sing too. Just throwing it out there.

@@phylazen5649
Sorry, NO. Roger Troutman, album with Zap.
@@sunrae7680that’s not autotune .
Masked Singer will never top T-Pain as a contestant. Just the whole vibe he brought was absolutely perfect for this type of show
0:00-1:36 dont stop me now
1:37-3:05 I don’t wanna be
3:05-4:17 American woman
4:17-5:44 I love rock and roll
5:44-7:07 stay with me
7:08-8:21 this is how we do it
preciate u brother

Never been to a concert, never cared to go, but I would pay Taylor Swift money to go see a TPain concert of mashup songs like this live
12:56. Best Part.😉
Thank you 🎉😊
Stay With Me still gives me goosebumps to this day. T-Pain absolutely nailed it on that one.
Ok but the monster suit costume changes are so cute 😭
Edit: I’m crying they slicked the fur down for the ballad I love it
😭💕
Lmfao omg I thought it was just me. Lmao. So cute
YES I THOUGHT THAT WAS ADORABLE. and the rockstar makeup for "i love rock and roll", it's so cute
omg i just saw that! I'm crying.
So glad I read this comment, omg the side part.
T-pain's performance of Stay With Me still give chills in 2022
The real ones knew it was t pain. Also knew he had a heavenly voice because of his acoustic performances back in the day to prove he had a voice and wasn’t just an auto tune singer.
Still gotta have a voice to be an autotune singer. It doesn’t magically make you sound good like most people think.
@@jaylanky7 Exactly!!
NPR tiny desk session
@@kylechapin1057 All of T-Pain's albums have songs without him using autotune. Those just didn't get as big as his other singles.
He picked such great songs that suits his voice.. Bravo!!!... Amazing!!..
I liked it when he sang I don’t wanna be
I fucking cried when he did Stay With Me. T-Pain is ridiculously talented. God damn.
I always knew T Pain had an amazing voice but that scream at 2:47 was something I did not know he had in him. The man is so talented
rrrriiiggghhhtttt
pure technique, guy's amazing
Yeah, Robin Thicke looked jealous
2:50 i didnt realize he could hit a note like that good god man hes good
Any true fan of T-Pain knows that man got sum serious skills without auto tune, but I'm glad the whole world finally got to see it, he definitely deserves it....
He a gamer man
T-Pain did it right since people never expected this out of him. And honestly, this was one of the best moments ever
The stay with me part of the song is heavy profound soulful and splendid. Thank you T-Pain
His colors open up at the ohhh something crazy
@@williamharris5259 r555etrr756rr

Only the OG’s who followed him from the start, knew what talent he had. PAIN had so many things covered. SINGING was one of them!
To think he didn't even think he was gonna make it to the finals (that's why he chose this costume) he just wanted to have fun and show that he's still around and can SING no autotune needed
His voice is so unique that I can’t fathom it was a mystery. His singing voice is extremely close to his speaking voice.
❤️T-Pain shared his entire ‘On Top Of The Covers’ Live from The Sun Rose concert on his YT channel 🥰
This show is dope asf. I am just now getting hip. 😌 My mom would've love to watch this . Rest in paradise Mom.
🙏🏾❤️☀️🌒💫
I LOVE HOW EXCITED HE IS HOPPINH AROUND WHEN EVERYONE WAS FREAKING OUT
Always knew it was T Pain ...he has a particular sound. He has a couple deeper songs with little to no autotune on them like drowning again. I was so happy when he won. deserves all the respect.
When he hit the high note, that’s where you knew the hosts where hooked
I still come back to this after all this time.
Same
Yes!
He should do a whole tour with his natural voice.
But imagine it with autotune! It would hit so much better.
When I went to his concert in Amsterdam he was singing with his natural voice.
He don’t use autotune at his concerts. I been to one.
I watched him in concert 2 weeks ago. No autotune the whole time.
@@maliav.452 and I think that's really what he wants. He wasnt given a chance and we gets the chance he does it and he does it well
t-pain has a BEAUTIFUL voice, i don't think anyone expected it but that makes it even cooler. and he looks like he's having so much fun in the costume, it's so cute 💕
His version of Stay with Me !!! I felt that Man !!!
this man has some pipes! love to hear his natural voice. smooth as butter!
Im glad TPain finally getting his Flowers. Been knew he could really sing. 💯
2024 here. Tpain needs to release a new album. A raw voice album.
“chris brown maybe?!” Girl gtfo lmao
😂
🤣😂, sounds nothing like Chris.🤣
Exactly she just knew it had to be a black person. I’m like girl gtfo here lol
LMFAO then "michael vick" LIKE WHAAAAAT
I'm glad he did this. It made me more of a fan and get to know all the things he is into like drifting and gaming.
I still find it crazy how do many people assumed T-pain couldn't sing Coz he purposely auto tunes his voice, well here is proof that he can sing and he's amazing!

T pain sang with his real voice for a while now real surprised not much people knew.
The Medley he did was sick though...
He’s an actual mad lad
Man tpain it a G.O.A.T and he can really sing my fv artist from day one str88 from Jamaica one love
T - pain you are the shit good job well done beautiful voice 😃
This was 2 years ago 🔥 t-pain voice is so LIT!!!🤟🏼🔥🔥

Love all his song choices. I want a album of his covers
Umm bro💀
Well you’re in luck , he made an album of covers. Look it up
The dude who guessed Martin Lawrence always gets me 😂
True , crazy guess.
Lmfao
T-Pain unmasked reminds me of that kid from Monster Inc, especially that happy dance
Being that I’ve heard him live, I knew immediately that was him!
His song choices were excellent and he delivered wow!!! I can keep coming back just to watch and enjoy
First performance “So wa wa wahh” was the clear indication of who it was. Auto tone or not (and no matter how cliche) that’s iconic t-pain.
Usher was so wrong! T-Pain is the best thing to happen to music. His rendition of Sam Smith's "stay with me" gave me goosebumps.
I was so happy to see that he was able to show everyone that he doesn't need auto tune
Usher's fine for me, but if he said T-Pain messed up the music industry, negatively, that's a mistake. What he did is not wrong, but it was the copycats abused what he pioneered, making the people put the blame on him.
His voice is so soothing
He didn’t build his career singing like this! What a voice, T-Pain! I wish he would release an album singing like this.
I remember being so hype when he won that. Monster will always be my fave😊❤
I love the raspiness of his voice and to this day I didnt know he can sing this well. And to be fair when I hear his autotune. I would always compare it to artists who uses it and would say that Tpain is still the GOAT lol

The Michael Vick reaction gets me EVERY TIME. lolol
I remembered his autotune issue back then. But he proves us that he could really sing. ❤️
This will always change the way I listen to stay with me. If t pain does anything more in the music industry. He HAS too release this as a full single
Nicole is such an empath!!! LOVE IT!!
He needs to sing with out auto tune more he has a great voice
I can’t explain the joy this brought me 🥹
👏🏾👏🏾T-Pain can sing anything, WOW!!👏🏾👏🏾
Tiny table performance brought me here 🎉🎉🎉🎉. He needs a tour immediately!
I just found about masked singer tonight and immediately fall in love with this show because of the different character
Sounds great that’s one hell of a singer. Love his tiny desk concert
Will always be one of my favorite masked singer's ❤
Imma need an album STAT!!!!!!
I was thinking it was keening Thompson til I saw him as one of the judges 😂
Girl, you and me both 🤣
Yeah he sounds a lot like him in stay with me lol
ty for uploading this
Ok so honestly..I'm a fan..but dammit..I really heard the real TPain...on This Is How We Do It.
Guess it's true
I'm not good at a one night stand
But I still need love 'cause I'm just man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave
Will you hold my hand
Oh, won't you stay with me
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Why am I so emotional?!
No it's not a good look, gain some self control
Deep down I know this never works?
But you could lay with me
So it doesn't hurt
Oh, won't you stay with me
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Oooh oh ooh oooh ooooh oh
Oooh oh ooh oooh ooooh oh
Oh, won't you stay with me
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Oh, wont you stay with me
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love its clear to see
But darling
Stay with me
wish he did a album in a totally different style. him on a guitar solo or piano.... think we would see a whole new great singer and man....big up from Paris
T pains voice is dammmmn!! So underrated!!! He's so talented for sho!!
It's proof that he used auto tune because he had to sound different for recognition not for bringing your out of tune vocals into tune
T Pain should do more soul albums like this
I love the first performance, the different coloured background dancers low-key remind me of when your editing a song and there's lines in different colours.
He’s got a wonderful voice!
Plot twist. The judges knew just like anyone else who heard T Pain sing before, and they just played along for the show.
Geez, let this guy remix EVERY SONG EVER!
Update: Oh man its T-pain. That makes sense.
I love their reaction!
I can’t believe she said Chris brown
Bro, I fucking died😭
Right
I screamed 😂😂😂
I knew off the rip it was him… unique voice home shine no matter what they do to it to throw u off… proud of the boy 💪🏾🔥
0:25 that vocal fry gives me chills like bruh 🤤
love his performances and his outfit changes
Been a fan of T Pain since day one because he has a lot of emotion in his voice when he sings. Rappa Ternt Sanga, love ya, Pain....glad everybody is finally seeing the Pain I fell in love with.
T pain use auto tune to hide his real voice just to be winner on this masked singer😂
😂💀
He has a beautiful voice...wow I didn't know he could sang sang 🥰
