I think they are real cuz they included Chapel’s song and the amount of autotune they added probably wouldn’t have happened if they hired a professional singer. Still liked the song, it was just very noticeable.

Criticism of the actress's singing ability aside, Chapel's song was my favorite. I loved the sound of it. What is the name for that style/genre so I can find more like it?

  It was kind of swingy, big band esque I’d say. Not miles away from the lounge stuff in DS9.

They also didn’t have a great deal of time to record. They did their studio work over weekends.

For those who weren’t musical theatre performers (Gooding, Chong, Romjin) earlier in their careers, getting a clean run through or even portion of a song would be a difficult challenge. Just the stress of getting it done in a single day or two of sessions would be likely to put them out of tune.

  Gooding and Chong came from musical theatre though.
