If Kanye West looked uncomfortable answering Conan O'Brien's questions last night, it wasn't because he was nervous. This defense of Auto-Tune that came eight minutes into the interview should explain things...

"If I sing off-key it really points that out. It points out the bad notes. So I actually have to sing more perfect. But I use it because I like the electronic feel. I like the sound.
