I dont think she has ever used autotune ...
effects have been used, but specifically auto-tune i dont believe has been ever used.

even in remixes, i think those were at most pitch adjustments with phaser, etc effects and not the actual autotune: http://www.antarestech.com/products/auto-tune-evo.shtml


haha and i like this off the wikipedia page:
Quote:
the CD Miss Fortune by singer-songwriter Allison Moorer was released with a sticker stating that "Absolutely no vocal tuning or pitch correction was used in the making of this record".[11] At the 51st Grammy Awards in early 2009, the band Death Cab for Cutie made an appearance wearing blue ribbons to protest the use of Auto-Tune in the music industry.[12] Later that spring, Jay-Z titled the lead single of his album The Blueprint 3 as "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)". Jay-Z elaborated that he wrote the song under the personal belief that far too many people had jumped on the Auto-Tune bandwagon and that the trend had become a gimmick.[13][14] Christina Aguilera appeared in public in Los Angeles on August 10, 2009 wearing a T-shirt that read, "Auto Tune is for Pussies"

Most artists simply use autotune to correct the pitch of their voices, but people cannot hear it because of the way it's used. It's kind of a standard for studio albums just to make them sound flawless.

Though...I think Hikki would detest to using autotune on an album because it's sort of cheating..then again I wouldn't know.

I agree that she has used "special effects" but when she came over to do her show in hawaii she was spot on.
