Nah, its just autotune. A vocoder is a whole machine and it requires an external audio signal to pitch the singer in relation to. The sound technicians would need to know the exact pitches Ellen was speaking in in order to write music that would match it and that's just impractical. It sounds like autotune that is programmed to just automatically repitch to the note that is the closest to what she is saying. Subtle amounts of autotune hardly get noticed but when you make it really obvious, you get this effect. But no, no vocoder. I mean, it's technically possible for them to do that but it just isn't necessary and requires way more work for what would actually be a worse performance.
Wow, I just love Ellen. What a super person she is. Too bad we could not all be like her - so full of fun and not afraid of what anyone thinks. How many times have I wanted to get up, sing and dance and am too shy! You give me hope.
That would have been awesome but Ellen should also be surprised hahaha she should just randomly have come from backstage with a mic and started singing where Ellen stopped
Cher DIDN'T use it to sing she used it for effect and it works with the song, first and last time she EVER used it btw......Cher is an amazing singer, you should look for her performing this song raw on Divas Live 2002.....Legend!!!
Mwa Mwa completely false… she used it on Believe, on most songs from Living Proof, multiple songs on Closer to the Truth and some songs of Dancing Queen
SuperHotLarry generally in live like this they use auto tune hardware. that's how they did back when PCs were slow as well. Now PCs are powerful enough to do in real time.
I LOVE Ellen so much! She's so funny, and sooo adorable. I just wish she didn't hate people like me. It's hard being a republican. So many times I like an actor or a comedian and then they make fun of me. It's like, I'm watching them, supporting them, and then they mock me and my beliefs just because they are different then thiers. It makes me sad. I don't dislike THEM because thier beliefs differ from mine.
LOL this is called autotune. its a software not a mic lol. if u hav iphone u can get it in the apps. its called im tpain. autotune is for people that cant hit the notes they want so the software does it for them.
Ellen is very funny. " I wanted a microphone just like Kanye's, they said it was too expensive, I threatened to quit and ( pulls a mic out her back pocket quickly) look at my new microphone. ROTFL
for people complaining that she is no where near cher well ofcourse ellen is not a singer.. but for a non singer she was great and she was having fun doing it so thats all that matters..
@tiay15 not being a critic when the title of the video says " best impression", maybe it should be changed to " ellen sings into a digital microphone" or something like it really is.
it made her sing the "do you believe in life after love" part badly.. but the other parts sounded really cher like XD she's so funny,how do they come up with these things!
I think Ellen needs to go to singing School if I hear someone use that microphone and sing around me I would stick outside put it in the garage I don't like sounds of dieing robot singing
I love ellen's hair in this episode! I wanna get mine cut like that (and no I'm not a lesbian you smart asses , I just think the hair cut is super cute lol )
HAHAHAAH i love auto tone it may be fake but it sound's awesome hahahahahaha @ 1:01-1:04 she look's at it like ohyeah NEW TOY LOOK IT LOOK IT LOOK IT i love her
@FoxGoalie actually the mic itself doesn't have enough power to do that lol. they run her voice through auto tune software and play it out through the speakers.
On our Mac me and my sister go on to garage band and record ourselves then set it to auto tune setting and we sound similar to this. It's pretty legit.
its funny how cher has been using this kind of auto tune in only one song and yet, we automatically call this cher's voice.
its mostly because she was the first artist to have commercial success with this kind of music
no, every song since '98
whor4irejkd jejkrdsls,; not true but ok..
@@masync183 aint that microphone a vocoder

Now THIS is why I love Ellen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ellen and Cher duet on The Show PLEASE Ellen!!!
Yesss
handsome ellen
haha, i love that microphone...i want one :)
The song was actually pretty close to the original!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
ily ellen
this was sooooooo freakin hilarious! i couldnt stop laughing
Omg I want one so bad!!!!
Ellen also impersonate Cher again at her Game of Games Show.
I'm dying of laughter, lmfao!
yes, i'll do my share! haha
would have been even better if cher herself came walking out to sing with ellen!!!
I tought exactly the same!
That would have been awesome but Ellen should also be surprised hahaha she should just randomly have come from backstage with a mic and started singing where Ellen stopped
Cher don't like that bitch
Ellen sounded better then Kanye....just talking into it.
@Mr unknown ya
"I said I want microphone like Kanye. They said its to expensive. I said I quit and look at my new microphone!" I adore her!!!😄😍
also, Cher's "Believe", the chorus doesn't have autotune, only the verses. That's what most people get confused with... xD
I don't understand
@@erickmejia8576 ik I’m late but they meant that the music producers and editors just added the auto tune on the verses, not the chorus
@@nathanpbowes6979 oh ok
They put it on the last hook too
Ironically, Cher was the first person ever to use auto tune! She admitted it herself.
3:03 That note was spot on! :D
Bojan Tomic LOL. That *note*
My favorite is her Farewell Tour, Half Breed, bridge, and final chorus.
Vocoder, something I can believe
Turn into a robot form outerspace!!!👽👽👽
And I know the gays will buy this and I know Britney will try this!
I invented reinvention bitches!
The answer is technology!
now my legacy secure, time to do another Cher world tour
nooo whyy.. I typed in this: believe cher without auto tune
and ellen was the first video.. I will stuck here for eeever..
OH YEAH, you were lucky to be here
And who do we have to thank for that sound being so popular...?
Cher says you are welcome and Believe :D
How is his performance amazing, Ellen
it's not a vocoder,...it´s called autotune
Ellen has a pretty great voice.
Well whether it's on pitch we don't know
Auto-Tune is NOT talent!!
"I'm singing like, CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"
I said, I want a michrophone just like Kanyes!
But they said It was to expensiwe,
So I said I was quitting,
AND LOOK AT MY NEW MICHROPHONE!:) lmao
AWESOME!!!
3:03 SO AWESOME
!!!!!!!I WANT THAT AUTO-TUNE!!!!!!!!!
😭😭😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😂😂😂😄😄😄😍😜😜😜😝😝😝😝😁😁😁😝😆😆😆😆😋😇😇😇😇😇😵😵😵😵😵😲😲😵😵
I came here for Cher but got fucking kanye west...
haha i have to say that was a good one. makes you think about how artists use autotune to sing
It's just a cool way to make dance music better and unique
Pitch Neon Well uhh if anything autotune makes music LESS unique.
+phteven Z music should be how people sound for them not for the public
Cher DIDN'T use it to sing she used it for effect and it works with the song, first and last time she EVER used it btw......Cher is an amazing singer, you should look for her performing this song raw on Divas Live 2002.....Legend!!!
Mwa Mwa completely false… she used it on Believe, on most songs from Living Proof, multiple songs on Closer to the Truth and some songs of Dancing Queen
T-pain make that auto-tune microphone first!!!
Not really
***** then who make it first?
Antares Audio Technologies. Cher made Believe way before anyone even knew who T-Pain was.
***** Oh~ Thanks for the information.
Luke Draco but not the mic make the auto-tune. An effect processor after it does it
I laughed sooo hard at this, love ellen so much!
I think shes just to cute...I don't see her as anything but a person who's multi-talented and cute as a button..not to mention funny as all get out...
Cher can sing. She used autotune just for the effect. Some use it because they can t sing.
im from London & i know they show it on Diva TV but not sure what times it's usually 8am.
"cause i wannna sing like cheeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr" haha ellen rocks
1:18 Ellen sounds like Glados from Portal.
Hilarious this made my day 😀😀😀
I hate Kanye West. Yuk.
3:09 lmfao! So funny that she managed to actually sound out of tune a couple of times lmao
She's still pitchy even with autotune lol
It feels weird reading comments older than 10 years.
I feel the same way. It's crazy to think one day (assuming youtube is still a thing) we can all read comments from 20, 40, or even 60 years ago.
Love Ellen. Hate Kanye!
LMFAO
ELLEN YOU ARE MY HERO.
OH MY GOSH!
HA HA HA
JUST
LOVE IT
I AM LAUGHING SO HARD.
!:)! This Just MADE MY DAY!
how do you use auto-tune like this, are there programs?
Yes, there are a lot of ways. It comes packaged with Pro Tools and Logic Pro, which are the industry standard.
yumboom Are there any programs that can do it in real time like it is on the show?
SuperHotLarry all autotunes do it real time.
SuperHotLarry generally in live like this they use auto tune hardware. that's how they did back when PCs were slow as well. Now PCs are powerful enough to do in real time.
i want i microphone like that.
does anyone know where to get one cause it would be great at parties or writing my new songs.
where can i get one?
oohh she is using (auto tune ) you can have any mic you want you can download it on your cpu the program is autotune look it up
"I told them I quit...and look at my new microphone!" lol best line in here
"They said it was too expensive, so I said I was quitting, and look at my new microphone!" LMAO.

bleep bloop norp
Omg today is October 8 😃 I was 3 my months old when Kanye sang that live

Haha! Love that autotune can turn someone who - let's face it - is not the best singer in the world into someone who rivals the one and only Cher!!
On our Mac me and my sister go on to garage band and record ourselves then set it to auto tune setting and we sound similar to this. It's pretty legit.
@hatchcode
Are you kidding? I think it's impossible not to like her. She's so freaking fun to watch I can imagine she makes one hell of a cool friend.
OMG ELLEN!!!!! If you weren't gay... and if I wasn't gay.... and if you weren't my mom's age... THEN we would make an amazing couple!!!!
I love how this combines two of every gay man's favorite things: Ellen and Cher. Hahahaha. I now want one of those just so I can sing like Cher, too.
It is an autotune. BradCarr777 needs to take a closer look at his equipment. Vocoder mixes voice input with a keyboard instrument to alter the vocals.
@MattS3NTM why would she get paid >>? she's Wayyyyyyyyy Richer then Kayne
This is awesome omg I just found this after I posted my video trying to Cher the magic but omg you sound just like her. oy this is very exciting.
"I said I want a microphone just like kanye's! But they said it was too expensive, so I said I was quitting. And look at my new microphone!"
lmao
@Froggycassity yes i understand that , however should she not have a title then as " acting comedian on american idol" rather than judge ???
haha yes! cher is something else! ive been very into her music lately!
And itss one of my favorite ssongs of hers.. next to "Song for the lonely"
"I said I wanted a microphone just like Kanye's, they said it was too expensive, so I said I was quitting, and look at my new microphone!"
Too bad - If Ellen really was talking into a vocoder she would have sounded more like Cher if she used what Cher used, which is AutoTune.
man, I really want a mic like that.
Ellen is so funny.
Just the way she came up with the words when she didn't know the lyrics.
haha!
ELLEN FOR PRESIDENT!!! ELLEN FOR PRESEDENT!!!
God, can you imagine the world if Ellen was president? :-)
I dreamt I was in the audience of Ellen every day and she told me and my friend to shut up or we wouldn't be allowed to come back.
ellen needs to make a DVD of all her best bits of her shows, but that would be hard because every second of every show is a best bit
Before you accuse someone of being a liberal maybe you should look up the word, You are actually praising them! and quite rightly.
Why do people keep clicking 'thumbs down' on peoples comments here?, some people need to get a life. love Ellen, she's hilarious!!
omg i want an awesome microphone like that!! it's a pity that it's not really the microphone that does it in Cher's song 'Believe'
just like cher lol some of the notes that she hit was like cher !!!!!!
ahahaha...i loved it ellen! you can actually sing even without the autotuned mic..mmmuah! happy pride!
vocoders and autotuners are just a way for black people to skate along on no talent. i looooooove ellen; that was pretty good
I LOVE ELLEN! she always makes my day! rock it out ellen!
She's decent and all that, but it woulda been nicer if she did a bit better job. Or was it just me?
I like her version of the song so I made it as my ring tone!!! she's no funny!!.. but you can't deny that she can sing!!
this absolutely cracks be up especially how she starts amking up the words but its fitting to the song, ellen is the best!
I saw this show yesterday and I thought it was awesome so I looked it up and I allso saw the performanse by Kenye West.
@MzKrazyKatt i'm sure she gets paid to go to work at her talk show. . .doubt she does it for free
He was just being funny. Don't rain on his parade. Besides, rain on parades is no fun. Quit being rain on parades.
... When she started talking into the mic, I immediately thought, "My god. She would make the most amazing GladOs."
uh yh they do i dunno what number but the channel is called diva tv. also on five life I think. On virgin tv it is 164
that mic actually makes her sound really good."Change you can believe iiiiiin"
Oops!! Sorry for the run-on sentence if anybody cares... I meant "...types of animals. Read a damn book please..."
