Are you OK with singers using autotune during live performances?

Pop princess Britney Spears at a live concert in Toronto, Canada, in 2011. Several years ago she explained that she 'uses playback to keep things smooth' during her live shows while her management said that she does lip sync during especially vigorous dance moves, for which she's famous for. — JEN/Wikimedia Commons

I enjoy listening to live music, and one of the reasons why is because I don’t sing very well myself. And while recorded music can have a lot of post production shine applied to it, I’ve always thought live music lives and dies in the moment.

So imagine my surprise when I found out that really isn’t the case. An online video dissecting performances by K-pop stars alleged that, sometimes, live shows use – gasp! – autotune.
