Amid the star-studded tributes to Michael Jackson on the Bet Awards, Jay-z's big premieres for his new single, "D.O.A.

The technique used these days is actually a software program created in 1997 as a means of audio processing. When a singer's voice is filtered through Auto-Tune, the pitch is tweaked depending on what tone is pre-programmed into the software.

Doing their part to keep things modern were Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and arm candy Nicole Kidman and—no...
