'I am T-Pain' iPhone App Lets Everyone Achieve Star Status

— September 4, 2009 — Pop Culture
The I Am T-Pain iPhone app might be the best way an iPhone owner can spend $2.99. All you have to do is sing into the microphone, and the I Am T-Pain Auto-Tune technology will make you and your friends sound like the computerized rock and rap stars you know and love.

Brought to you by the good people at Smule, the same technology T-Pain uses to create hits with artist like Lil Wayne and Kanye West is included in this kick-ass app. You can use the 'I Am T-Pain' iPhone app to record your own songs. You can also connect your iPhone to an outside speaker and awkwardly perform your voice-adjusted version of Bartender for everyone from your giggling teenage cousin to your painfully confused Gram-Gram. Anyone else want to perform "I'm On a Boat" while on a boat? I got my flippie floppies!

Check out T-Pain and others getting into the action in the videos… best $2.99 ever spent.
