Cher Says The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Can Go Fuck Itself
www.stereogum.com
Cher has done a lot of things. She scored her first Hot 100 chart-topper in 1965 and her last in 1999. (At 52, Cher was the oldest woman to land a #1 hit until last week, when Brenda Lee broke the record.) Cher sang backup on “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)” and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.” She helped modernize the variety show in the ’70s and defied expectations in the ’80s. She won an Oscar for Best Actress. The ubiquitous robotic Auto-Tune effect? Cher did that first. But Cher is not in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and she thinks that’s some bullshit.

    My friend auto tune did not exist in 1965 yet she still topped the 100 billard chart. She can more then carry a tune. Don’t diminish skill because you don’t like her style.

        I did. Did I miss something specifically? This posturing is not helpful to your point. No wants to believe a jackass even if they are right.

          Hey - me again.

          I didn’t mean to be a jackass, I was just skimming through and yours was the second comment I saw along the same line of thought within minutes, which is why I gave a curt response. I realize now that the comments were so close together that you probably didn’t even see the first one.

          All that to say - sorry for being a dick, I just wanted to highlight that OC was arguing the autotune thing, not the whole article (or the headline).
