Contrast and Compare/Rhetorical question

Just about 14 years ago to be a popular ‘pop’ singer in music, you had to have a good voice.
It seems as if today that having a good voice doesn’t matter too much, what matters is how ‘hot’ you are seen by the public. Voice doesn’t matter because there is autotuning. Autotuning is a system that perfects artists voice. It makes the singers infallible. But is this really fair?

Descriptive

Now a days many artists use autotuning to change their voice in music. Kanye West, Ke$ha, T-Pain, and many more popular artists have been using this devince. It makes their voices perfect, no errors ever. Although there is a controversy among fans and other artists, changing the voice artificially vs. using natural voice.

Startling Statement
Your favorite artists are cheating!

    I find the first two to be a bit confusing, but the third is very straight-forward.

    I like the last one :)
    Just a comment on the discussion in general: Autotune is bad when you're completely changing your voice, but if a singer has a one bad note when recording, it would be easier to fix that one note instead of rerecording, which would take a long time.

    Really like the idea behind the first lead, but the grammar is a little funky.

    The third is the one that makes me most want to read more!

    The first one is like if you were trying to cause Mr. Scaccia to have like a heart attack.

    The second one also is weird on grammar, but the content is good and grabs the reader, particularly if they like one of those artists.

    The third one is shocking and makes you think "what?

    I would suggest probably the third one, but follow it up with a strong paragraph stating how they cheat (autotune) and what your opinion is (autotune is cheating and they should use their natural voices.)

    Wow. I actually agree with Ishaan. Just kidding :) I think the third one is your strongest, but I'd avoid the exclamation point as it somehow doesn't seem as shocking (like maybe you're trying to *make* it shocking by adding the exclamation point). Then, like Ishaan suggested, I'd follow it with a strong paragraph with specific examples, i.e., "Listen to any Ke$ha song and you can hear the digital high notes. Check out Kanye's raps, and you'll notice the robot voice that invades mid-flow."
