"Autotune" is used to help tube voices to a certain extent by many artists in pop and rap. Altering certain settings within it allow for the "T-pain" voice.
And yeah, no offense FIRST, but that song was absolutely horrible. I nearly had a hernia form upon listening to it the first time.

As someone who is a music tech major, and derives a significant portion of my income through audio engineering and production, auto tune is a replacement for talent. If they can't sing, they shouldn't make music. Tech should not replace good music making skills, and the ability to sing.
Also, by "altering settings" I believe you're referring to the digital artifacts left over by modulating the pitch too far, in addition to limiting/filtering certain frequencies. The "T-Pain" effect is several filters and plugins in addition to just Auto Tune.
