Should be a good place to start to add some colour and depth while maintaining the original recording integrity. Might ave to add a compressor before it depending on the recording itself, nothing to drastic, just a gentle setting to bring it out and tame some loud parts.
The better way to do what he's suggesting if the vocalist is decent and you recorded it as well is to just record 3 separate passes and pan them L, R, and C. If she's not a good vocalist, either do it jason's way or make 3 different comps from however many takes you have.

Depending on the song, squash the center signal some. I'd consider an expander on the side signals. And I'd skip the choruses on the sides, since that's essentially what you're doing.

If the vocalist is good enough, get several takes and pan them differently and play with levels until you like it. Most of Michael Jackson's vocals were done that way (with a $300 dynamic mic, no less) eith several mics around him and several takes. That sound is what you should be going for. Not an over the top chorus

The subtle use of the chorus is try and soften up the delay hits and smooth it over a bit, and I'm not talking about going crazy. If it's at 92bpms set the rate at 38hz, feedback at about 30-40% and dry/wet at about 40% as well. Should soften it up, add some depth and space and give it was movement as well.
