Don't Believe Anything You See on the Internet Today

Everyone's getting into the April Fool's spirit by posting untrue stories, i.e.: Lorde dyed her hair blonde, Justin Bieber is doing a Calvin Klein underwear campaign, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married over the weekend, and on and on. Har-dee-har-har.

Here at Finely-Sifted, we strive to bring you the truth, no matter how twisted or ridiculous that truth may be. So if you want to be assured that what you read is not serving some 3rd-class, broken-down, April Fool's Day agenda, hang around here today. I will be sifting through the interweb detritus with extra care to bring you only the TRUE STORIES and REAL, UNRETOUCHED PHOTOS. I would say that we won't be using any AutoTune here at Finely-Sifted today, but it's just a fact of life that everyone except Adele uses AutoTune. Adele doesn't need that crap, in fact, AutoTune tunes itself to Adele.

Take Britney Spears, for example. It's always been fairly obvious that Britney Spears mostly lip-syncs during her live performances. It's really hard to sing well and dance at the same time, ya'll! Last year someone posted the isolated audio feed from Britney's microphone, exposing what her true voice really sounds like. Well folks, she don't sound that good, but she sure do look purty!

Lorde cleaned up at the Grammy's this year, winning several statues for her debut song, "Royals." Lorde also performed live on the Grammys show, providing most viewers with their first experience in hearing and seeing her do her thing. Her performance was quirky, cool, and edgy, and appeared to prove that she truly has the chops to have a long career, and not just end up a one-hit wonder. However, someone later posted a video to YouTube of Lorde's isolated microphone feed, and it shows that Lorde obviously relies heavily on AutoTune, just like our Britney.


I'm sorry to be the one to crush your illusions about Lorde. I'm sure she's a really nice person, though, and probably deserves all the fame and $$$ she earned, as long as she cuts AutoTune in for a big share.
