Thoughts?

MTV was likely not involved with the production, other than to air The Dance on their channel. As others suspect, the performance was enhanced in some way. Auto tune is not used in their tour performances. As this was intended to be a specific high profile show and live album, it was imperative that everything was finely polished. Most live albums are subject to post- production studio work.

I'm fully aware of that. This particular post-production still irks me because it makes no sense.

Really? I do think that album is pretty and glossed over but I don't hear where anybody sounds like a robot.
