(CNN) -- Foreign governments should urgently accept Haitian orphans on humanitarian grounds following this week's devastating earthquake, an orphanage director in Haiti and adoptive parents said Friday.

Emergency visas and passports could help push through adoptions that were stalled after the quake, and would open up beds for children who lost their parents in the disaster, said Dixie Bickel, director of God's Littlest Angels orphanage just outside Port-au-Prince.

Paperwork for adoptions that were under way when the earthquake hit Tuesday night may now be buried in the rubble of collapsed buildings and lost, said Bickel, whose orphanage cares for 152 children, including 84 babies.

The government officials who deal with adoption cases may be missing, hurt, or otherwise focused on the disaster, which means the adoptions won't go through, she said.

"I would like to see the international community come up with a plan for the children that have been adopted by European, Canadian, and American citizens of how these children can go to their adoptive parents' countries, either under refugee status or emergency status of some sort," Bickel told CNN.

God's Littlest Angels is considered one of Haiti's larger orphanages. Parents who have adopted children through the orphanage are also pressing their governments for emergency action.

"The orphans need to be granted refugee status and allowed to come home to their adoptive parents," said Allison Garwood of Los Angeles, California, who adopted a boy from GLA and brought him home last year. "The U.S. needs to not only allow but demand that children be sent to their adoptive families right away."

British citizen Chris Skelton, who arrived in Haiti hours before the earthquake hit to sign paperwork as part of the adoption process, wrote a public letter urging foreign help.

"I cannot express the sheer magnitude of the plight that the children of this country have faced, one which will now spiral downwards further with devastating results," Skelton wrote in the letter. "The situation is dire -- there will be many more children in need of help, and GLA and other orphanages cannot cope with the increased need."

The foreign ministries of Britain, Belgium, and France said they could not immediately respond, but Luxembourg's Foreign Ministry said it was aware of the issue.

"The Luxembourg authorities are informed of the situation of Miss Bickel and the children at the orphanage God's Littlest Angels, and our authorities are in touch with the Red Cross and the local authorities to solve the issue," spokesman Robert Steinmetz told CNN.

Bickel said her request is only for those children who have been adopted but who are still in Haiti as their cases go through a lengthy government approval process which can take anywhere from six months to two years.

The children's paperwork may have been in the pipeline but after the quake, the status is now unclear, Bickel said.

"Some of my papers were in the Palace of Justice -- that building is no longer there," she said. "Some of my paperwork was in the Ministry of the Interior -- I don't know if that building is there. I had passports being printed (for the children). I don't know if the paperwork is still there."

Bickel said her lawyer told her the country's top adoptions official, Judge Rock Cadet, was killed when the courthouse collapsed.

As long as the adopted children can make it out of the country, Bickel said, the orphanage can ensure the children's paperwork is completed in Haiti. If the children can't leave the country, it will mean orphanages like Bickel's must turn away any children newly orphaned by the earthquake, she said.

"It leaves me with children in my care who are going to sit here for an additional five, six months at least," she said.

"It's going to prevent me from taking in any children that were affected by this disaster. My beds are full. I can't take any children in, not unless I put them on the floor or I put two or three children to a bed."

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- Russia expressed interest in using Cuban airfields during patrol missions of its strategic bombers, Russia's Interfax news agency reported

"There are four or five airfields in Cuba with 4,000-meter-long runways, which absolutely suit us," Maj. Gen. Anatoly Zhikharev told Interfax.

Zhikharev, who is the chief of staff of the Russian Air Force's long-range aviation, said, "If the two chiefs of state display such a political will, we are ready to fly there."

Zhikharev also told Interfax that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has offered a military airfield on La Orchila island as a temporary base for Russian strategic bombers.

"If a relevant political decision is made, this is possible," he said, according to Interfax. Zhikharev said he visited La Orchila in 2008 and can confirm that with minor reconstruction, the airfield owned by a local naval base can accept fully-loaded Russian strategic bombers.

(CNN) -- One of Africa's most successful footballers, Nwankwo Kanu, has had a glittering career on the pitch.

The 6 ft 5 in Nigerian footballer has used his sizable stature in the game to help many others.

Winning a gold medal with Nigeria in the 1996 Olympic Games he has also won the European Cup with Ajax; the English Premier League Title and FA Cup with Arsenal in 2002, and in 2008 scored the winning goal for Portsmouth in the FA Cup Final.

But off the pitch, Kanu has worked just as hard to improve the lives of others.

He set up the Kanu Heart Foundation in 2000 that raises money to help children with hearth defects. It's an issue that Kanu is particularly connected to.

In 1995, when he was already a double-European Cup finalist, Kanu was told by a doctor for Inter Milan, the club he had just signed for, that he a faulty value in his heart.

He was told he could never play football again. However he spent 14 months rehabilitating and then moved to Arsenal in England and arguably had the most successful years of his career.

Now nearing the end of his career, Kanu has set up another foundation. Founded in 2008, The Kanu Football Foundation aims to help advise young African footballer who can face all sorts of pressures when trying to become a professional football and avoid being exploited.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (CNN) -- The lower house of Argentina's Congress has approved a controversial media law that spells out media ownership rules and calls for the creation of a regulatory agency.

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has blamed Grupo Clarin for her low approval ratings.

The measure passed Thursday by a vote of 147 to 4, but the wide margin does not reflect the heated debate over it. Lawmakers opposed to the measure protested by walking out of the chamber and not voting. Some even threatened to turn to the courts to challenge the legitimacy of the vote.

The goal of the so-called Audio-Visual Communication law is to regulate television and radio broadcasters and increase competition in the media industry, according to a draft of the bill.

Opponents say it targets media critical of the current government and President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, especially the media giant Grupo Clarin.

This bill is "for everyone who wants to live in a more democratic and more pluralistic Argentina," Fernandez de Kirchner said in a speech last month.

The newspaper Clarin has been highly critical of her leadership and that of her husband and predecessor, Nestor Kirchner.

Although the proposed legislation would not affect newspapers, Grupo Clarin's other business interests in cable, television and radio would be forced to be sold off or restructured.

"[Cristina] Kirchner saw [Clarin] as a limit to her power, and this was the origin of the conflict," Argentine political analyst Rosendo Fraga said.

Argentina's case is just one of a number of fights between the presidency and the media in Latin America.

"At this moment, in Nicaragua, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador and Argentina, the presidents have conflicts with the private media and seek to dominate them, although each country is a different case," Fraga said.

Among the changes proposed in the bill, a company that owns a cable business would not be allowed to own any over-the-air broadcast channels. Also, the owner of a cable company would be allowed to have only one channel on that system.

In its current form, Grupo Clarin would be in violation of both limits, among others.

"It hits other media groups, but Clarin is the one it hurts," said Daniel Kerner, an analyst at Eurasia Group.

The reform would also redistribute broadcast frequencies into thirds: one-third for private media, one-third for the government and one-third for nongovernmental organizations and other civil groups.

"More control of the media by the government, this is the main motivation," Kerner said.

Journalism advocacy groups have raised concerns, focusing on a proposed requirement that broadcasters renew licenses every two years.

"We are extremely concerned at the opportunity created under the current draft legislation for political pressure on broadcasters," International Press Institute Director David Dadge said in a statement. "We urge Argentinean legislators not to pass this bill in its current form."

If anyone is applying unfair pressure, it is monopolistic media companies, Fernandez de Kirchner said.

"Freedom of expression cannot turn into freedom of extortion," she said during an August 27 speech. "The right to information means the right to all information, not to the concealment of part of the information and the distortion and manipulation of the other part."

Grupo Clarin has about two-thirds of the cable market in Argentina, but its other products don't come close to monopolistic figures, Fraga said.

Both Kirchners have blamed Clarin's critical reports for their low approval ratings. The ruling party was dealt a strong defeat during recent midterm elections.

In response, Fernandez de Kirchner has come out swinging at the Clarin newspaper and its parent company, observers said.

Last month, the government pushed the nation's soccer association to rescind a contract it had with Clarin to broadcast games. The government reached into its coffers and offered the association double what Clarin was paying for rights to broadcast the games.

This month, 200 tax agents made a surprise raid on the newspaper's offices, ostensibly to check employment records, editor Ricardo Kirschbaum said.

But the agents left after three hours, empty-handed.

"Their real mission was to intimidate," Kirschbaum said.

The editor bristles at the characterization of the bill as part of conflict between his newspaper and the government.

The Kirchners "have a hostile stance, not just against Clarin but against all the press," he said. "They are the proponents of 'democratizing' the media through this law, and this is how they regard the media? It's paradoxical."

(CNN) -- David Goldman says he can't understand why he can't have custody of his son following his ex-wife's death in Brazil. The U.S. government agrees.

David Goldman is fighting for custody of his son after Bruna Bianchi Goldman died during another childbirth.

Goldman told CNN's Larry King he had no idea when he dropped off his wife and 4-year-old son at Newark International Airport in 2004 for a two-week vacation to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that he was about to become embroiled in an international custody battle.

Shortly after Bruna Bianchi Goldman arrived in her homeland she called to say she wanted a divorce, which she obtained in Brazil, and would stay there with their son, Sean.

The running custody battle has taken many twists and turns and has gained the attention of the Department of State and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"A child belongs with his family, and there is no reason why David Goldman should not get his child back," Clinton said in a recent interview on NBC's Today show. "And we're hoping that that will be resolved very soon. Obviously, if not, we will continue to raise it with the Brazilian government."

For nearly five years, Goldman has fought to regain custody of his son. It's a case that has been complicated by Bianchi Goldman remarrying, getting pregnant and dying during childbirth last summer. Sean Goldman is said to be living with his stepfather, who has been granted provisional guardianship.

"I went down ... to bring my son home," Goldman said on CNN's Larry King Live Wednesday, figuring his ex-wife's death had made the custody issue a moot point, and "we find out that this man doesn't file custody, but he files to remove my name from a Brazilian birth certificate that they had issued for my son, who was born in Red Bank, New Jersey."

Goldman continues to press his case through the U.S. government.

"The Department of State is working diligently to ensure that David and Sean Goldman are accorded their rights under the Hague Convention of 1980 on the civil right aspect of International Child Abduction," the agency said in a statement. "We'll continue to insist that the Brazilian government fulfill its obligations under the treaty and international law."

The convention, to which Brazil is a signatory, "is a multilateral treaty, which seeks to protect children from the harmful effects of abduction and retention across international boundaries by providing a procedure to bring about their prompt return," according to the Hauge Convention Web site.

Brazilian courts have refused to return Sean Goldman to the United States for any custody hearings that New Jersey courts have ordered and the Brazilian government has not intervened. As a result, the case remains a stalemate.

"I would tell him that he's been very brave, as he has fought to have his son returned to him," Clinton said in the NBC interview. "His son is the most precious person in the world to him and he has gone not just the extra mile, but mile after mile, back and forth, trying to make it clear that his son Sean deserves to be returned to him."

But on Larry King Live, Helvecio Ribeiro, a Bianchi family spokesman, questioned Goldman's fitness as a parent.

"I don't question the biological right," he said. "The fact of the matter is that in order to be a parent, you have to be more than just a DNA donor, Mr. King. Fatherhood is not about making home movies and taking pictures, it's about sacrifice. It's about providing support to your child. It's about being there even when you're not there.

"And Mr. Goldman, while Bruna was still alive, failed to do so," Ribeiro said.

Goldman visited his son for the first time in more than four years last month -- a bittersweet experience that was heartbreaking when it was time to return to the United States.

"He asked me why I haven't come to see him in all this time," Goldman told Larry King, "and that was very, very painful -- and the anguish on his face when he asked me that question. I didn't want to tell him that ... they're holding him."

International custody fights are common and were supposed to be simplified by the 1980 Hauge agreement, but conflicting court systems and conflicting accounts of relationships can trump international law. The next step in this case is uncertain.

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (CNN) -- Ollie James is 84 years old and a doubter no more.

Ollie James, 84, says he knows Obama is going to win, because he believes "God answers prayers."

"I know he is going to win," James said after services at Leonard Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis. "See, God answers prayers, and I am a praying man, and I know he is going to win."

The "he" James is referring to is Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. "From where I came from, with the segregation and all the hatred, I never thought an African-American would get this far in the United States. Really."

But three weeks until Election Day, James and many other African-Americans are now optimistic they will be part of history.

"I am kind of anticipating it will happen," said Raymond Henderson, a soft-spoken African-American man in his 60s. "But no, I did not expect it to happen in my lifetime."

It is the flip side of the "race debate" in Campaign 2008: While the Obama campaign and its Democratic allies are aggressively working to address the concerns of blue-collar and rural whites who are reluctant to support a black candidate for president, there is an enthusiasm in the African-American community that Democrats believe could lead to dramatically increased turnout and perhaps tip the scales in several key battlegrounds, Missouri among them.

African-Americans cast 10 percent of the ballots for president in 2000 and about 12 percent in 2004. Obama aides believe if that percentage increased just modestly in 2008, it could make the difference in at least a half-dozen states: Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Wisconsin and Nevada are additional battlegrounds where Obama organizers are counting on an increase in African-American turnout in their Election Day game plan.

To reach its goal, the campaign is counting on a combination of newly registered African-Americans and aggressive outreach to tens of thousands black voters who are registered to vote but have stayed home in past elections.  See why African-Americans are finding hope in Obama ÃÂ»

At Leonard Missionary Baptist, the Rev. Steven Thompson is careful not to preach from the pulpit: He exhorts his congregants to vote but does not preach in favor of or against any specific candidate.

Still, a visit to his services found an overwhelmingly pro-Obama crowd, and Thompson says the enthusiasm level about this election is unprecedented in his two decades as the inner-city church's pastor.

"The energy comes from the fact that it is historical, and we've got a lot of first-time voters and many like myself who have been through a few, and it still has that pumped up energy in it," Thompson said.

Increased African-American turnout is all the more important because of Obama's tougher challenge in more conservative, rural areas. In the Missouri Ozarks, a roadside billboard shows a cartoon of Obama with a turban, his middle name "Hussein" in bold red letters.

"Hmmmm," Thompson said when shown a photograph of the billboard, keeping his trademark calm.

"If I spent my time getting angry about the things people do, then I can't do what I effectively do here," Thompson said as he gestured toward the pulpit. "Those people who do stuff like that, the only thing I can say is, we pray for them."

Fredrick Lemon II says that for months, he doubted that Obama could win, but now he believes he can. Still, Lemon took time after services to compliment Republican nominee John McCain for trying to calm angry supporters at recent rallies, including a woman last week who incorrectly said she was worried about an Obama presidency because he is Arab.

"It has gotten a little nasty," Lemon said. "But I think that John McCain really showed some integrity and some character when he was at the last town hall meeting and some people said some disparaging remarks and he corrected them. And that just shows that he does have integrity."

(CNN) -- This is the summer of Auto-Tune.

The Gregory Brothers have become a viral hit with their "Auto-Tune the News" videos.

No matter how hard some people -- notably Jay-Z --have tried to kill the trend of musicians using computers to make their voices sound like whiny robots, Auto-Tune technology continues to ride a cultural high.

Now the voice-altering effects are migrating from recording studios to YouTube and mobile phones.

An iPhone app called "I Am T-Pain" lets people manipulate their voices to sound like the popular rapper and Auto-Tune advocate.

The Gregory Brothers, a sibling band out of Brooklyn, New York, has become a hit on YouTube with a series of videos that Auto-Tune cable newscasts and political speeches.

The group, which also tours as a low-fi soul band, started its series of videos called "Auto-Tune the News" during the 2008 presidential debates and has gained millions of fans in recent months.

CNN spoke with Andrew Gregory, a 27-year-old member of the band, about the popularity of Auto-Tune -- the trademarked name for the popular pitch-correction software -- and the role of technology in music and society.

The following is an edited transcript of our conversation:

Why do you think your videos have taken off like they have?

I think with any sort of viral video there's a little bit of luck involved. So we're counting our lucky stars that we've been lucky enough to have it take off like that.

At the same time I think the novelty of seeing people like Katie Couric and Newt Gingrich sing has really captured peoples' attention.

How do you make the videos? What actually goes into it?

Michael likes to joke that there's a huge Auto-Tune lever that he hooks up to his computer and whenever he sees video footage he just pulls the lever, and anything that strikes his fancy is automatically Auto-Tuned.

But there's a lot of technical stuff that goes into it. ... We scour a lot of footage to see what's going to work and what's not going to work. We try to find what people are going to tune well and what people won't tune well. ...

Really, by the time the video gets made I'd say it's eight or 10 days of work that goes into one of these videos, between the four of us.

What makes someone a good candidate for Auto-Tuning?

An example of a great candidate for Auto-Tuning would be either Katie Couric or Joe Biden. Both Katie Couric and Joe Biden have just continued to astonish us with their unbelievable, almost hidden melodies in their speaking voices.

A lot of it has to do with how they project their voice in terms of their soft palate. But it also has to do with how much of an oratorical fashion they speak. Joe Biden, in a lot of his speeches, is delivering them in a preacher sort of fashion that tunes really well.

While someone who ended up tuning really poorly -- we thought he would tune really well! -- was Sean Hannity. We thought he'd tune really well just because Sean Hannity is always talking really loud. But it turns out that despite the fact that he was talking really loud, it was a nasal talking and it was a harsh and abrasive loud voice, so it ended up not tuning well at all.

Does President Obama make for a good Auto-Tune?

You know, what was great from Obama was the campaign speeches. His campaign speeches were excellent, because he was sort of using that almost gospel-preacher rhetorical style.

Since he's been president, he's been so relaxed and sort of so laid back and cerebral and sort of intellectual. He's not been quite as excellent for Auto-Tuning because there's a lot more of a mumbly tone about him. A lot less of the "Yes we can!" and a lot more of the "Weeeeell, as we see ..."

Has "Auto-Tune the News" helped your other musical efforts or do you think it's pulling you away?

It's certainly making us focus a lot more on "Auto-Tune the News." As the videos have sort of grown in scope and become more popular, we can't help but continue to work on them as our fans clamor for more.

Do you ever use Auto-Tune in the other performances, like in your band?

We've never used it live. We're no Ashlee Simpson. But I think we've used it a little bit on our record.

Right now it's a huge fad to Auto-Tune the crap out of people so that they sound like robots. But on pretty much any record you listen to these days there's some level of Auto-Tune on it, even if it's a very, very small amount.

If there's just one small note that's just a little bit flat, why wouldn't you Auto-Tune it to make it sound OK?

Do you think it's hurting music at all that people expect a singer's pitch to be perfect?

It means that people who can't sing as well are becoming famous singers. But I don't know, that's why I love going to see live music, because that really sorts out the real singers from the not-so-real singers.

If you could invent any technology or pick a technology that you would like to see invented, what would it be?

Oh, wow. I'd probably go for a teleportation machine myself. ... Like the one they used in "Star Trek," hopefully, right? Where you can jump in the teleportation machine and get to your gigs without having to carry all your amps and drive eight hours in your van. I mean, I play music for free. It's carrying my amps and driving places in my van that I have to charge people for. That'd be the real revolution for the music industry.

Do you have the T-Pain iPhone app?

Yeah, we were beta testers for that app.

Do you use the app in day-to-day life?

We've been joking around and showing it to friends who didn't have it yet. But we're playing our first concert in a while tonight [September 11]. I'm in North Carolina. And we're going to try to hook our iPhones up to the sound system and we're going to try to T-Pain our voices live. So we'll see if it works.

Do you have a favorite iPhone app just in general?

I'm not much of an app guy, but when I really need to kill some time I go for PapiJump. It's like the simplest, dumbest game possible on the iPhone. Other than that, the New York Times app is nice.

What have you learned about the Internet in watching your videos go viral?

I think a lot of people are using the Internet for just a sort of quick laugh fix. Whether you're bored at work or looking for something fun to do at home, people sort of live serious enough lives. I think everyone loves to laugh. And if you can get five minutes of the day at work ... to get a couple yucks in, I think you'd rather do that than watch your latest YouTube conspiracy movie or something.

text: been

text: lucky

text: enough

text: to

text: have

text: it

text: take

text: off

text: like

text: that

text: At

text: the

text: same

text: time

text: I

text: think

text: the

text: novelty

text: of

text: seeing

text: people

text: Katie

text: Couric

text: and

text: Newt

text: Gingrich

text: sing

text: has

text: really

text: captured

text: peoples

text: attention

text: How

text: do

text: you

text: make

text: the

text: videos

text: What

text: actually

text: goes

text: into

text: it

text: Michael

text: likes

text: to

text: joke

text: that

text: there

text: 's

text: a

text: huge

text: Auto

text: Tune

text: lever

text: that

text: he

text: hooks

text: up

text: to

text: his

text: computer

text: and

text: whenever

text: he

text: sees

text: video

text: footage

text: he

text: just

text: pulls

text: the

text: lever

text: and

text: anything

text: that

text: strikes

text: his

text: fancy

text: is

text: automatically

text: Auto

text: Tuned

text: But

text: there

text: 's

text: a

text: lot

text: of

text: technical

text: stuff

text: that

text: goes

text: into

text: it

text: We

text: scour

text: a

text: lot

text: of

text: footage

text: to

text: see

text: what

text: 's

text: going

text: to

text: work

text: and

text: what

text: 's

text: not

text: going

text: to

text: work

text: We

text: try

text: to

text: find

text: what

text: people

text: are

text: going

text: to

text: tune

text: well

text: and

text: what

text: people

text: wo

text: n't

text: tune

text: well

text: Really

text: by

text: the

text: time

text: the

text: video

text: gets

text: made

text: I

text: 'd

text: say

text: it

text: 's

text: eight

text: or

text: days

text: of

text: work

text: that

text: goes

text: into

text: one

text: of

text: these

text: videos

text: between

text: the

text: four

text: of

text: us

text: What

text: makes

text: someone

text: a

text: good

text: candidate

text: for

text: Auto

text: Tuning

text: An

text: example

text: of

text: a

text: great

text: candidate

text: for

text: Auto

text: Tuning

text: would

text: be

text: either

text: Katie

text: Couric

text: or

text: Joe

text: Biden

text: Both

text: Katie

text: Couric

text: and

text: Joe

text: Biden

text: have

text: just

text: continued

text: to

text: astonish

text: us

text: with

text: their

text: unbelievable

text: almost

text: hidden

text: melodies

text: in

text: their

text: speaking

text: voices

text: A

text: lot

text: of

text: it

text: has

text: to

text: do

text: with

text: how

text: they

text: project

text: their

text: voice

text: in

text: terms

text: of

text: their

text: soft

text: palate

text: But

text: it

text: also

text: has

text: to

text: do

text: with

text: how

text: much

text: of

text: an

text: oratorical

text: fashion

text: they

text: speak

text: Joe

text: Biden

text: in

text: a

text: lot

text: of

text: his

text: speeches

text: is

text: delivering

text: them

text: in

text: a

text: preacher

text: sort

text: of

text: fashion

text: that

text: tunes

text: really

text: well

text: While

text: someone

text: who

text: ended

text: up

text: tuning

text: really

text: poorly

text: we

text: thought

text: he

text: would

text: tune

text: really

text: well

text: was

text: Sean

text: Hannity

text: We

text: thought

text: he

text: 'd

text: tune

text: really

text: well

text: just

text: because

text: Sean

text: Hannity

text: is

text: always

text: talking

text: really

text: loud

text: But

text: it

text: turns

text: out

text: that

text: despite

text: the

text: fact

text: that

text: he

text: was

text: talking

text: really

text: loud

text: it

text: was

text: a

text: nasal

text: talking

text: and

text: it

text: was

text: a

text: harsh

text: and

text: abrasive

text: loud

text: voice

text: so

text: it

text: ended

text: up

text: not

text: tuning

text: well

text: at

text: all

text: Does

text: President

text: Obama

text: make

text: for

text: a

text: good

text: Auto

text: Tune

text: You

text: know

text: what

text: was

text: great

text: from

text: Obama

text: was

text: the

text: campaign

text: speeches

text: His

text: campaign

text: speeches

text: were

text: excellent

text: because

text: he

text: was

text: sort

text: of

text: using

text: that

text: almost

text: gospel

text: preacher

text: rhetorical

text: style

text: Since

text: he

text: 's

text: been

text: president

text: he

text: 's

text: been

text: so

text: relaxed

text: and

text: sort

text: of

text: so

text: laid

text: back

text: and

text: cerebral

text: and

text: sort

text: of

text: intellectual

text: He

text: 's

text: not

text: been

text: quite

text: as

text: excellent

text: for

text: Auto

text: Tuning

text: because

text: there

text: 's

text: a

text: lot

text: more

text: of

text: a

text: mumbly

text: tone

text: about

text: him

text: A

text: lot

text: less

text: of

text: the

text: Yes

text: we

text: and

text: a

text: lot

text: more

text: of

text: a

text: lot

text: more

text: on

text: As

text: the

text: grown

text: in

text: popular

text: we

text: ca

text: n't

text: help

text: but

text: continue

text: to

text: work

text: on

text: them

text: as

text: our

text: fans

text: clamor

text: for

text: more

text: Do

text: you

text: ever

text: use

text: Auto

text: Tune

text: in

text: the

text: other

text: performances

text: like

text: We

text: 're

text: no

text: Ashlee

text: Simpson

text: But

text: I

text: think

text: we

text: 've

text: used

text: it

text: a

text: little

text: bit

text: on

text: our

text: record

text: Right

text: now

text: it

text: 's

text: a

text: huge

text: fad

text: to

text: Auto

text: Tune

text: the

text: crap

text: out

text: of

text: people

text: so

text: that

text: they

text: sound

text: like

text: robots

text: But

text: on

text: pretty

text: much

text: any

text: record

text: you

text: listen

text: to

text: these

text: days

text: there

text: 's

text: some

text: level

text: of

text: Auto

text: Tune

text: on

text: it

text: even

text: if

text: it

text: 's

text: a

text: very

text: very

text: small

text: amount

text: If

text: there

text: 's

text: just

text: one

text: small

text: note

text: that

text: 's

text: just

text: a

text: little

text: bit

text: flat

text: why

text: would

text: n't

text: you

text: Auto

text: Tune

text: it

text: to

text: make

text: it

text: sound

text: OK

text: Do

text: you

text: think

text: it

text: 's

text: hurting

text: music

text: at

text: all

text: that

text: people

text: expect

text: a

text: singer

text: 's

text: pitch

text: to

text: be

text: perfect

text: It

text: means

text: that

text: people

text: who

text: ca

text: n't

text: sing

text: well

text: are

text: becoming

text: famous

text: singers

text: But

text: I

text: do

text: n't

text: know

text: that

text: 's

text: why

text: I

text: love

text: going

text: to

text: see

text: live

text: music

text: because

text: that

text: really

text: sorts

text: out

text: the

text: real

text: singers

text: from

text: not

text: so

text: real

text: singers

text: If
