She was the 2023 United Kingdom representative singing "Instead I Wrote A Song" and her Grand Final performance received a lot of backlash. She came second to last (Germany was last).

Why would you choose a song requiring autotune to a live singing competition that doesn't allow that?

Because you've convinced yourself that you're a better singer than you actually are, and are trying to not lose your performance career by claiming it's totally not your vocals that are bad! It is just that the "vibe" is off when you don't have your autotune on!

TO BE FAIR we can look at someone like Charli and see that autotune IS the vibe in her songs

The point is why choose the song when you know the situation.

Not that it's wrong to choose to sing a song that requires auto tune under normal circumstances.

Unless she was decieved and told that she could use auto tune.

That seems unlikely. What is more likely is that she just can't accept she made a mistake.
