Apparently T-Pain had an acoustic performance that went well a few days ago.
USA Today writes:
So, we all knew T-Pain could really, really sing.
His famous NPR Tiny Desk Concert taught us that much:
And on Thursday evening, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut album Rappa Ternt Sanga, the King of Autotune-turned-R&B crooner returned to NPR for an acoustic concert, reprising last year’s unplugged performance with a set of new covers and old favorites.
He kicked off the night with a smoldering cover of Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy.
Fittingly, he treated the crowd to slow-and-smooth takes on hits like Tipsy and Bartender, before dedicating an emotional version of Sam Cooke’s A Change Is Gonna Come to his dad.
Check out the performances below:

I think people should know by now this man can actually sing but he’s the one who messed his own career up with the obsession with auto tune. I still prefer him over Future though.
I didn’t even know he could sing like this.
He’s actually improved a lot. But he could always hold a note.
You can hear a decent voice through his auto tune.
He sounded good. I know he’s still working on his voice and I am glad to see he wants to be taken more seriously as an artist. I do think it’s sad he doesn’t get enough credit for how he changed the game. He has everyone wanting to use auto-tune now but no one sounds as good as he did because auto-tune doesn’t make a non-singer into a singer. If you can’t hold a note, you’ll sound bad even with the auto-tune. That’s why I don’t care for Future’s music.
Pretty good.
He should have never became dependent on auto-tune maybe he wouldn’t have got as big as quick but I really believe his career would be in better shape today. Depending on gimmicks can really hurt a career and T-pain is living proof of that. Rather make it and fall on your talent instead of making it for awhile with a gimmick and nobody realizing you actually had talent smh.
T Pain > Future. It’s just the truth.
He killed it.
