Robotic R&B Singers

It seems like every newer R&B song I hear on the radio has a singer, and they're singing some kind of bland, tired modern R&B whiny lyrics... nothing unusual about that... But lately though, they always sneak in the robotic voice somewhere in the middle of it when you least expect it. They start out sounding like a human being singing, and then they add this flourish of... well not all the way "robot" vocal, but they digitally modify their vocal, and it ends up sounding like Akon or whatever... you know what I mean. It's such a craze these days though, because I swear it can't just be Akon making all of this shit, it's in like every damn song on 107.9. If it is Akon making all of this shit, somebody call up Michael Vick and tell him that Akon is a fluffy dog.
