Cher's diva autotune moment over hit song Believe

It's safe to say we all truly Believe Cher is is the queen of pop.

The song Believe is iconic in the singer's body of work, but it seems the singer came close to not recording the song at all, she revealed on KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show on Friday morning.

"I was having a fight with my producer because the verses were tedious," Cher explained.

The producer was apparently on her back about singing it 'better', which didn't sit well with her at all.

"Finally I said, 'If you want it to be sung better get somebody else'," she said. "And I walked out."

This diva moment was iconic for Cher and the entire music industry as it, Cher claims, was the birth of using autotune and 'now everyone's still doing it'.

"I was the first [to use autotune]," the 71-year-old said earlier in the chat.

Cher is currently in Australia and is set to headline this year's official Mardi Gras party in Sydney on Saturday.
