When you are singing, should you feel the voice on the roof of your mouth or should you be singing in the back of your throat (soft pallate). It seems when I sing towards the back i get this cher/toni braxton sound that amazes people, but i also feel like I am singing away from the music... When I sing on the roof I feel like I am more in sync with the music... Anyone understand?? lol

if you are sounding like Cher, then do whatever you need to to cease

As you noticed ... there is a difference between the sounds you get. It used to be that there was only one 'proper' way to do it to get a 'proper' sound. But nowadays most people recognize that there are different styles of music that a lot of people enjoy.
So if you want a country twang that is one way, and if you want opera that is another way.
One way you want a 'pear shaped' tone and you hold your mouth and jaw and throat to get that and get your 'bellows' going by controlling your diaphragm while standing straight. Another way you hold your mouth and jaws and throat to get a more nasal sound.
Articulation is important too... in one style you use the King's English and make sure to pronounce words like 'new' with a you and not a too sound and trill the r's like in Latin. Another way you pronounce the words more like a natural American.
It is good, I think, to be flexible and able to sing in a few styles. There are professionals who teach 'proper' singing, and you might be interested in finding out where there are singing teachers in your area. That will give you a good base to work from and adapt from there, getting the most power, broadest range and fullest sound you can and then stylize from that.

The vibrations should be coming either from the top of your chest just below your neck (chest voice, lower notes) or the inside of your skull (head voice, higher notes).
The air should come from way deep down below your ribcage, from your diaphram.

Yes I understand and I've often wondered this myself, I hope somebody knows.
I think that when you sing you should do both
