LoglineAn accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike.

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.
