*Charli XCX Faces Criticism for Using Auto-Tune on SNL*
Charli XCX, the 32-year-old pop sensation, recently performed on Saturday Night Live (SNL), sparking controversy among viewers for her use of Auto-Tune. The British singer, who pulled double duty as host and musical guest, took to the stage to perform her hits “360” and “Sympathy is a Knife.”

“Charli singing in auto-tune is Brat!” commented @ashleytaveras9035.
Others, like @bufordhighwater9872, were less impressed: “‘Vocals that suck’ is not a song style. The most talented and musically credible thing on the stage was the Lou Reed t-shirt.”
*Charli XCX’s Candid Admission*
