"I Have A Dream" autotuned

I think I've run the gamut of feelings about this treatment of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have A Dream" speech. Having thought over it for a few minutes I've decided how I feel.
This speech is powerful and famous not just for the words that are spoken but for the way that this man delivers them. The original recording of this speech give me chills because of the convinction with which Reverend King speaks those words and the fact that he was assassinated and did not live to see his dream in his lifetime.
Autotune is terrible and terribly entertaining. I find it exasperatingly hackneyed in pop music but in other contexts it's joyfully absurd. Like all fads, autotune will soon pass and be looked back on as the thing that was en vogue in the early 21st century. As blasphemous as it is to take Dr. King's voice and distort it to sound like the latest Top 40 artist, I can't entirely hate it. Yes, I'll make myself clearer: I don't hate the autotuned "I Have A Dream" speech. It's catchy and cleverly edited. The words are all still there and the message is still an important one, still timely and inspirational. It's easy to pass this day off as just another three-day weekend/national holiday celebrated on a Monday, and videos like these keep the history and importance fresh in people's minds.
