She never did any songs with Def Jam? 

Hmmmm... interesting

it's unclear but

"I used to wait outside his office for hours, hoping he'd take meetings with me about my songs..."

She was working with Rob by the time so definitely she had songs done, maybe some received the auto tune treatment for the label, honestly who the **** knows

I know that "Paper Gangsta" is about Def Jam wanting to autotune the **** out of Gaga's voice and then dropping her because she didn't want to sound like Siri, but does anyone know what songs they tried to fully autotune, besides this version of "Sometimes"?: 

 

 

Here's my opinion- I think this demo of sometimes is one that gaga recorded herself on her laptop and she used Logic Flex Pitch.  I do not think any producer or record label would create a demo sounding this bad lol I think this was a project gaga created herself.

Yeah.  Comparing the britney telephone demo vocals to the sometimes vocal demos - Britney's, being heavily auto tuned, is at least all in tune- gaga's sounds a bit all over the place and like it was just a rough concept she created to perhaps present to a producer.  Like it said, thats just my guess .

So if she ended up not autotuning the album why is half of it autotuned

She was forced to autotune her Music on every album (before c2c)

She said in an interview they autotuned some of the parts of songs with RedOne to get that cool electronic sound for example in Just Dance.

I know!!!!! It's a cute song but I wish whoever it was that manipulated the vocal pitch knew a bit more what they were doing  lololol but it seems to me like it was just a concept demo she wanted to quickly throw together.

[Gracious Gaga 17,163]

Using flex pitch or melodyne can be an extremely tedious process and it sounds like whoever made this just wanted to throw something together quickly hahah.  The vocals sound like they were recorded via laptop built in mic

 

 

aside from this demo in particular, using Melodyne is industry standard.  Every recording artist uses it .  If you want your track to be perfect, you use melodyne!  It is not the same thing as Autotune, but it is a pitch correcting program to provide recording artists a solid vocal production! Nothing wrong with that:)
