If it is a studio recording of music with vocals since 1980-90, I would put money on there being some correction on the vocals. If it is a studio recording of music with vocals since 2000, i would put money on there being some use of autotune or melodyne or a similar pitch correction software/hardware.
My top3 Genres are opera, black metal and new age, so… 😁
Of course there are some level of vocal corrections in many songs. But as long as it’s not plain obvious and improves the song, why not. But making it sound like no human could…that’s so useless IMHO.
