Given the heavy reliance on (and general acceptance of) autotuning, I suppose we could let the software go one step further and simply use a camera to 'lip read' and synthesise the voice entirely...

I have been looking forward for decades to the day when I hear the question: "Grandad, what is that clumsy obejct that the last century singers hold in front of their mouth?" I really cannot understand why it is so difficult to construct a solution to capture a singer's voice without a bulky microphone. Yes, there are lavaliers on the cheek and forehead, and headset mics, but they don't have the same sound as a good vocalist mic, and don't look too attractive either. It is possible to shoot a picture from a distance without puttting anything in the way between a nice looking singer and the camera, but it isn't possible to capture the sound in the same way. (Yes, I know about the differences between acoustics and light travel.) Of course in some music, such as rap or hip-hop a microphone is used as part of the performance. But I'm not sure if I'd miss that either.
