As I replied on the Logic Users Group as well once again this is not true.
It was in fact AutoTune that was used on Cher's voice. The producers did 
not want anyone knowing what they used so they decided to blame it on 
the Digitech Vocalist that had just come out.

The article is up at Sound on Sound.com for all to go verify so we never 
have to hear about old horseface Cher again hehehe. :)
