FWIW, I hate opera.
Paradoxically, I really like Gilbert & Sullivan...

You really shouldn't. There are many exquisite examples of true talent,
excellent singing performances and cool songs in opera. Try some of these:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To me, this just sounds like bad
singing ruining really good music...

That wasn't the point. The question from Andy was if anybody can sing in
tune and my answer was: yes. Which I extended by remarking that in
modern popular music singing well is not a prerequisite.
For many people popular music is the frame of reference for music which
distorts their view of music in more or less the same way that Word does
for typography. Whether you think that is bad or not depends a.o. on
your age. I am a grandfather.

More precisely, the question was whether several people can sing
complicated harmonies with surgical precision without ever missing a
single note even by a tiny fraction. But anyway...
(It's no secret that some people can sing in tune. I've heard plenty of
people do that live. I've even heard people sing harmonies live. But
usually it doesn't sound this "perfect" when it's real.)

For 87% more insanity, open YouTube and search "autotune".
Apparently there's an entire industry based around finding random video
clips and processing everybody's voices through AutoTune to turn it into
music.
I'm not sure what's more baffling - the fact that people do this, or the
fact that AutoTune is insanely expensive and yet people /still/ do this!
Obviously, YouTube is the home of cats, so:

So... apparently AutoTune makes you sound like frigging GLaDOS. :-P

Hehe, you should YouTube "songify" - it's an app (for phones) that
records you speaking in a normal voice and then gives you the option to
autotune it to a list of various songs. Quite fun.

That explains it then. AutoTune itself is very, *very* expensive...
(That said, how the heck do you transfer the recording from a phone to a
PC to upload it to YouTube?)
