    Default HabboxLive Staff Song

    Why exactly is it autotuned? I thought the whole point of a karaoke was to sing yourself as editing it loses the whole point.

    Are the staff so bad at singing they need to be autotuned?!

    Calv just showed me it- it's awful in the sense that it looses meaning. Staff songs were always about this fun natural singing, that people could then laugh at and enjoy. The days of Baby HabboxLive are long gone.

    I don't know if I'm honest.

    It is supposed to be funny I agree...I don't know my honest opinion as it will be biased. But I agree the old staff songs were natural and for a joke rather than auto-tuned and serious.

    Well older productions from 2007ish were actually alright and funny, but nowadays it doesn't seem to mesh.

    This, I can honestly agree that I don't listen to HabboxLive much, but if this song come on - I would tune out straight away

    Most of the listeners love it as I've heard it being requested in almost every show today that I've listened to.

    I'm not quite sure if they were serious if you listen to the previous ones..

    Also how are we supposed to tell who is who?

    it says "DJ Robbie" "DJ woodsy" etc. as the parts come on, but it's quite hard to hear.

    and I said this one is more serious, previous ones were more of a joke.

    Thing is with the old staff songs people used to hate them, this one sounds ok and a lot of people are requesting it so I guess it works for today's audience. The Christmas songs which were full-on karaoke lost listeners rapidly, whereas this edited song seems to have a positive effect
