In the music community it is called "Pitch Perfect" performance.  As a
musician myself I have a very trained ear and I did not detect any of the
noticeable "digitializations" that Autotune leaves in the voiceovers.  

Considering that the Music Master was performed by Darren Criss, one of the
main stars of Glee and they brought in some of the sound producers of Glee to
help with the production it does not surprise me that they wanted everything
pitch perfect.  The one thing that urked me about Glee, other than the story
lines were bleah, was that everyone constantly sang pitch perfect.  Had
perfect accompanyment... had a creepy guy with a beard show up to play
piano... perfectly, of course.  It's High school... voices should crack a
bit... let it be a bit more natural.

Anyhow, with that said the episode was pretty good.  Supergirl was son CBS
not ABC and CBS owns the CW now.  It's always been under her umbrella...
which makes me wonder, since there is a "multiverse" if there is a superman
in the Flash's universe and what happened to the Kara and Mon-El of theirs.

I'm also wondering if Mon-El will eventually get the costume he had in the
comic books, where the Red and Blue is reversed.  The comic book Mon-El had
Blue boots, Red Costume, Blue cap etc etc... since they done away with the
"erection suppressor" briefs there won't be a blue codpiece.  However I don't
think he is the crown prince of Daxan in the comic books and eventually he
was poisoned by lead which in the comic books is always fatal and
irreversible... (although they did find a way to stop it by putting him in the
phantom zone if I remember correctly.)  In the comic books he was not
effected by Kryptonite, but I believe in this TV Show they showed him as
being effected by it, I could be recalling it wrong.  Who knows... it is
getting interesting since now his "true love's kiss" has proven he is
genuine with Kara.  Boom-chcika-boom-boom... imagine parenting a
superbaby... the terrible twos could level a city.

BTW... my Girlfriend has had a crush on that actor as he was the same actor
that played the Cop in the one season drama series Containment.  It's worth
a watch if you have Hulu or Netflix.  It also has Claudia Black in it from
Farscape and she's still hot!
