i am slowing beginning to think that it is the autotune that will be the demise of all creativity in music
It has, but strangely enough there's a bit of an optimist in me that thinks that MAYBE the public will get sick of it. I already think that "It's so 2000's", but then again they will have to step up to realize that.

I will say that my Originals/Pop ratio is about yours. My collection though is getting into things I heard as a kid-teen to bring back some memories which has made it about 85/15 in recent days, though.
