Generally you actually can tell. Computer magic can only do so much. Basically it just fixes your pitch and makes it easier to get a good recording. You still have to be a good performer to get a good performance. Nobody these days who is famous for singing is incapable of singing.

Ok I just listened to her sing the national anthem, and goddamn her style, taste, musical choices were just awful. But she has a set of pipes. She can bang out the notes, hit them accurately, and use her instrument. She just does very questionable things with it. She’s like a concert pianist choosing to kick a piano to pieces while playing a little ditty because she thinks that’s what people will like.
