    One distinct memory of this icon: On her TV show singing "Half breed" while sitting atop of a black & white stallion wearing a full Indian headdress all while flames of fire lined the bottom of the TV screen. Right then and there, she had me. As a very young kid, I was mesmerized. I knew this was a legend in-the-making.

    One day later it's great to see all the top comments are respectful of the greatness that is Cher. There's no disputing the quality of her output but for me the differentiator has always been her reflexive sense of humour. There's always a joke at the ready. Also that ABBA covers album which just demonstrated the narrative power of her voice which gave an unexpected poignance. The 'Name of the Game' is the standout, she pulls out all the tension in a way that ABBA never could.

    I don't like that people call her a diva. "Diva" is a negative adjective in my opinion. She's fabulously talented and iconic and commanding, but she's never mean or condescending. Just honest. If she has to say something negative, she has reason to, and explains it. It's never "shade."

      Cher and Dolly have both hit the wall where plastic surgery can't do much for them anymore. They both look quite elderly even in full drag as Dolly would say. Especially in the light of morning television, I don't think Cher looks young at all. She looks about 70 years old which would horrify her. The too long too dark wig is not helping her. But I think Cher is quite strong physically and she can still sing and move a bit. She's a great, fun, kickass personality. The need to hang onto fame and keep appearing "young" seems a bit sad to me - but she's hardly the only one.
