  ^^ the shit that they're abusing these days is only autotune. it's a quick/cheap way to achieve that effect, which is why its so widespread.

  talkbox / vocoder actually take skill to play as you have to use an instrument at the same time, and the results can be wildly different depending on who is playing.

  talkbox would be roger / zapp, pete frampton, etc

  vocoder is like what you heard on tracks like "planet rock" and beastie boys "intergalactic"

  autotune is a computer plugin that's set once and forget. that's what you hear kanye / tpain / lil wayne using.

  the effect on that cher song was actually a piece called the "digitech talker" which was an external, stomp-box type effect.

  ......your studio 101 education for the day :)
