The Cher Thread

Woman's World is fabulous! Much better than her early 00s dance tracks. I downloaded her Discography years ago and I've listened to a lot of it. I love her 70s albums (Dark Lady is my favorite) and Half-Breed is just a wonderful song. I haven't found much love for her 80s stuff yet, but I'll give that a go eventually. Considering I love pop music so much you'd think I'd love Believe and the album that followed, but all the vocoder and autotune killed it for me. Cher's voice is too strong for that. It just sounds weird and takes me out of the song.

Wow, some of her performance at The Voice was very shaky (she tweeted about some vocal issues during rehearsal) but the song seemed to have a good reception. I think she did very well for someone her age.

Eric, considering that most people haven't heard the song and it was never officially released (just leaked), it's basically new to them, so I don't think that will affect its success.

lol No worries! I think Warner just posted it on YouTube since it leaked. I'm glad you heard it at clubs, I have yet to hear it. I'm pretty sure the radio will ignore her, unless they make an effort like they did with Madge last year for a little bit.

I hope it's included--at some point, Cher was calling it a contender for the first single. And Pink wrote her a song, too. I hope Pink's radio-friendliness give Cher a big hit LOL I would love to hear her back on the radio.


The album is going to be called Closer To The Truth, btw, and is going to be released on September 24, 2013.

Cher has NO BUSINESS being as amazing as she is at her age. It's ridiculous! To be able to pull off a performance like that at 67 and to be releasing a mainstream pop album at 67 and feel credible is AMAZING. Every young pop star needs to be following Cher's career. It's just insane to think of how each decade she continues to pull off these transformations and release great music. She really has touched so many generations. I was just blown away by that Woman's World performance! How is she almost 70?!

Anybody listened to Closer To The Truth yet? I loved it!

It's not groundbreaking but the whole album went by before I even knew it and there were several songs that left me :o with orgasmic pleasure.

"Take It Like A Man," "My Love," and Sirens particularly pleased me. I have no idea why "Sirens" isn't already a single, since it so resembles the folky songs so popular on radio now lol And it shows so well how that genre of music fits her still. "Lovers Forever" is like something straight out of the 80s. I was expecting more from the P!nk songs but they're still great (I Walk Alone with its tiny country influences and Lie To Me is a sweet ballad that has Cher saying "!@#$%^&*]")

I am really excited and will be giving it several more spins lol

    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
    • After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother.  I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem. 
    • I see her moral dilemma, too, and I don't think Lulu was out of line. I just felt it was overboard for her to break down in tears over her dilemma.
    • I also think the fact Lulu chose abortion and Brook Lynn chose to give a baby up for adoption instead when they were in similar situations adds another layer to this.  The writing doesn't really state this, but I can see Lulu slightly spiraling about thinking she could have an adult child out there if she made a different choice.  Both woman made the right choices for themselves at the time, but I can see both making parallels to their decisions.
