Cindy has the ability to crack me wide open--particularly with this song. She has such a different voice when you compare her to her 80s contemporaries. Yet it carries so much pure emotional content. Love her so much!
Awww - this song is just STUNNING and so incredibly sweet. I love Cyndi's singing in general too - how she can be just all fun and bouncy, but can also hold such emotional weight and tenderness. She's amazing.
Dear Beth, App-uh-lay-shun is indeed correct. I can tell you for certain because I live there. Thank you so much for the entertainment and knowledge. Much love from the U.S.
Just to be precise, she suffered a collapsed vocal cord in 1978 while singing in a cover band. Blue Angel came after she recovered. Between the She's So Unusual album and the True Colors album she had surgery for an inverted cist. She still works with the same vocal coach who helped rebuild her voice in 1978. Her voice has changed, but not nearly as much as you would expect. She has several different "voices", and can switch between them at will. Listen to All Through the Night from the "Live in Paris" Concert movie. There's moderate "gravel" in her voice throughout most of the song, but then she sings a wordless outro, all the gravel disappears and she finishes with a shimmering whistle note that is just extraordinary.
At first, like a lot of people, I dismissed Cyndi as a teeniebopper fad for kids, liked her unorthodox look but didn't really notice anything special. Until the day I sat and watched her Live in Paris performance, and that blew me away. I ended up dating and marrying a young woman few years later who was a huge fan of hers. I actually found a copy of Blue Angel's record for her, which won me some points when we first started dating.
Cyndi Lauper is such an underrated Diva, so many of her know Cyndi as quirky neon soaked pop star of the 80s, yet few remember just how gifted a vocalist she has always been. For a more direct example of her extremely top quality belting, I would highly recommend her live version of Money Changes Everything from the Live At last tour on UA-cam
Last year Cyndi sang True Colors at a close friend’s funeral in the small town where I live. She was in the choir loft with her guitar and a mic. The congregation couldn’t see her up there but her voice is unmistakable. Cyndi knew the deceased from the early days before she was famous . I sing in the choir on Sundays. The music director/ organist had to admit that he was a bit star struck. He mostly plays Bach and Mozart.
A friend of mine used to wait tables at a restaurant she would go to quite often. He still gushes over her. She was always kind and warm to the staff. She’s obviously also a very talented singer, but you don’t need me to tell you that! Although she’s aged, and her voice has changed, her singing has the same impact. She doesn’t just sing the notes, she sings the song.
Cyndi Lauper is Over 70 years old, she has a voice Beautiful and powerful, she saved Rock in Rio last year, she was the only one who sang live, she's wonderful.
Appalachian gal here. It's a fairly large region, and even we can't agree on the pronunciation. Here in the hills of Northeast Tennessee and surrounding areas we pronounce it as if we are throwing an "apple-at-cha." 😂 But I say you can pronounce it however you wish. ❤ I love your voice, videos, and accent!
Sweet, giving, quirky Cyndi Lauper...another female singer with a distinctly different voice...who forged unto musical success using great songs, heart-felt emotions and personality. There's only one Cyndi Lauper...aren't we lucky! BTW...Girls just want to have fun...was a dancing anthem for us AND our daughters!
A moment I'll never forget: watching tv. The show at the german wall in Berlin, after the reunition. At the end of that show, all of those musicians where singing a final song. Must have been some 50 or 60. To me: her voice was standing out. I was able to clearly her her voice. Is that a way to describe it? :Her voice "carrys through"? While I do know the tone of her voice well: it was still amazing to me to identify this one voice, next to so many.
There are so many regional dialects in the USA, I’m sure most of us won’t be concerned at all. Maybe you will hear from a true Appalachian. As always, I love your reactions and all that I learn from you. 🎧 🎼💗
Correct pronunciation is App - Ah Lash Ee Ah. 😊 Fun fact- a large percentage of Appalachians are Scottish descent , and bits of Scottish culture are still there. 2 years ago, USA Kilts came out with a tartan as salute , called Appalachian Folklore & its one of their best selling tartan products.
Great song and reaction . Cyndi is such a talent! Beth, your Appalachian and "Scottish person" comment got me thinking ... So, a suggestion for listening ... and also a separate suggestion for a reaction ... Speaking of a "Scottish person" & Appalachia ... you should listen to the nearly painfully beautiful song "Ashokan Farewell" from the legendary Transatlantic Sessions music series and program (this one from 1995). Ashokan Farewell is an instrumental, so you may or may not want to do a reaction to it, but for the sake of your soul you absolutely should hear it. Ashokan is an area in the Catskill Mountains in the northern Appalachian. And the "Scottish person" is the great Scottish fiddler Aly Bain, playing along with Jay Ungar the song's composer. The performance was recorded at Montgreenan House in Ayrshire, Scotland. This song can be found on youtube at the title ... ASHOKEN FAREWELL - JAY UNGER - TRANSATLANTIC SESSIONS - 1995 (note in the song's title, above, this is "as written", even though the proper spelling of Ashokan is not with an "e".) AND ... furthermore, here are two suggestions from that Transatlantic series that you could also do reactions to ... both of these songs are sung ... First, another song for your soul (one that I sometimes just put on loop at home) ... Rod Paterson doing "Auld Lang Syne" using the song's traditional lyrics. Certainly the must beautiful recording of the song ever. On youtube at ... Transatlantic Sessions - Auld Lang Syne (Rod Paterson) AND one more ... The vocally interesting performance of the song "Our Town" by Iris Dement. In this Transatlantic Sessions performance she is singing with Emmylou Harris and accompanied again by Aly Bain. The song on youtube (the specific version uploaded by "buppie2000") is at the title ... Iris Dement - Our Town All three of these songs are music for the soul and so wonderful. Beth, if you are not familiar with it, the Transatlantic Session series (1995 to 2013) was such a gift and has so much music. I hope you'll do any/all of them or at least give them a listen.
Appalachian: p sure people have already said this in the comments but both are correct. Long "a" is more used in the northern section of the region, short "a" is more commonly heard in the southern section. As a Carolina native (SC, but lots of time in NC as well), I've heard the short "a" version most :)
App a latch a My family are back woods WV, the word is seldom used. Just called down home to the natives 😎 Loved the analysis, been listening to Cindi Lauper since I was a kid.
App-a-LAY-shun / App-a-LAA-tchun Care-ri-BEE-an / Ca-RI-Be-an They’re both correct and can vary by individual or even be said both ways by the same person in different phrases.
I am a happily married woman, but still entranced by that glorious mane if yours! The deep and warm green sweater looks comfy in addition to perfectly bringing out the vivid nuances of autumn 🍁 reds. The blue wall behind you also keeps showing that your eyes are not the green that the hair and sweater combo would lead one to believe, but a lovely calm blue. Maybe I will be able to listen to your wonderful review now?
This video of Cyndi Pauper covering the Joni Mitchell song "Carey" for Joni Mitchell is totally inappropriate to put forth as a reaction request or suggestion, due to the lack of quality video production, but I gotta say Beth, it is one of the best covers I've ever heard. And Joni loved it as did the audience. Sent for your enjoyment only. Oh crap! Thought I'd copied the link, please find it a reply to my post.
It would be interesting to analyze “We Are The World” and explain the techniques or characteristics that make each singer’s voice distinctive. Cyndi’s vocal there of course is epic.
It is interesting to watch the Making of We Are the World documentary. When they were working on her part, she was having a bit of trouble with the timing of the "Well well well well" coming into her solo part. Steve Perry was sitting watching, and he kindly came over and worked with her to get it right. One video of it shows Michael Jackson just looking annoyed by her messing up. Shows the difference in character between Michael and Steve
Primary roots of Appalachia is Scots from what I understand. In Texas we say Appa-laysha. I can't swear how they say it there. Most of our country music/blue grass actually comes from Scots/Irish.
I saw her at an Australian concert in the 1980s. The concert was delayed by a week as she had lost her voice. At this concert, this song was sung in a nasally style.
She devoted this song at the height of the AIDS crisis in the 80ies to a friend of hers she lost due to AIDS and to all those gone by the disease, especially back in the days, when it came up packed with tons of stigma as well. She's really outstanding and a true ally to the LBGTIQ*-community from the early days on when it wasn't about popularity and media stunts, but a matter of heart.
A few years ago I attended a concert that included both her and Debbie Harry, and I was struck by how little I thought Cindy's voice had changed, whereas Debbie Harry's had become coarser. Of course this may have been because Debbie Harry's voice in her prime was much more pure while Cindy's was always a bit more harmonically developed.
Sounds like Cindy is covering a cover of her own song 😊. The toned down version of this reminds me of Eva Cassidy's version of this song. ua-cam.com/video/ZdYj89Mx6ik/v-deo.htmlsi=qlj9OWVUkz3iLXoz On a side note, would love to see you cover Rindi Ross and Karise Eden
Hi Beth. Could you react to a song of Caetano Veloso. He is literally so famous in Brazil. And i don't think you know him. "A luz de tieta" talks about false moralism and old conceptions. And "Sozinho" might be the most romantic song of our country!!
You need to listen to the cover by Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake on the Trolls soundtrack. It keeps all the emotion and takes it even further as a duet. 10 out of 10.
The early 1980s were Cyndi vs. Madonna, with the latter winning via shock values, PR stunts, and constantly reinventing herself (certainly not Madonna's singing talent or songwriting ability; as a singer, she's a good dancer). But Lauper showed her lasting and permanent place in influence, song themes, and music quality (even wrote music for her own Broadway musical hit). Her songs are standards covered by many singers. Madonna's formula for staying power was copied by Taylor Swift and Katy Perry without the shock and nudity.
Beth, somebody explained how to pronounce Appalachian below, but don't ever think you're an interloper there. Many of us with Scottish ancestry know that during the clearances and pacification of the Borders our people ended up there. Much of the music from that area has a big Scottish influence.
Appalachia is pronounced "AP-uh-lah-cha" by natives, which means that's how it should be said. Just like "Thames" is pronounced "tim-s" by natives, and that makes it the right way to say it/ 🤗
Don’t worry about the pronunciation of Appalachian. Different people pronounce it differently not only in different parts of the Appalachian region but also outside. None of them are wrong. Say it however comes naturally to you.
most underrated singer of all time. her "problem" is she had people and law firms playing with her for decades. They pretend to fight over the rights of the music but they keep all the money and nothing gets out. her music is sequestered by law firms. what a shame. All you gotta do is watch her sing Money Changes Everything live from Paris and her talent is evidently up there with Elvis, Sia, Juan Gabriel, Luis Miguel, Adele, Robbie Williams, and whatever else. she is so underrated just because of laws and people in the way of it.
As an American who lives on the outskirts the Appalachians I am unfortunately not much help because Americans around here say it both ways. By the way I am from Kentucky originally I live in Indiana now just across the Kentucky border
I was born in the Allegheny Highlands, a part of the Virginian Appalachian Mountain range. I pronounce it 'Apple-AY-chins'. That said, here's this: ua-cam.com/users/shorts1skPcE-tm7s
Thanks for this. I had no idea of Cyndi's history and what it did to her voice. BTW here's Cyndi in good humor listening to Seth McFarlane singing True Colors in the style of Family Guy character: www.youtube.com/watch?t=90
Great reaction and analysis! This song always makes me cry. (But so much does these days). When you need someone to explain the pronunciation of an English word in both American and British English, always trust a Frenchman. Julien Miquel is my go-to! ua-cam.com/video/CV_ttvxIaDo/v-deo.htmlsi=q4vFmkARyu74fhKh

Cyndi is something really special. Her voice has always been so enjoyable to hear.
Cindy has the ability to crack me wide open--particularly with this song. She has such a different voice when you compare her to her 80s contemporaries. Yet it carries so much pure emotional content. Love her so much!
She sings this and I get tears in my eyes. She has such a way with singing so sincerely. Very moving.
Awww - this song is just STUNNING and so incredibly sweet. I love Cyndi's singing in general too - how she can be just all fun and bouncy, but can also hold such emotional weight and tenderness. She's amazing.
She has such a beautiful voice with such unique character
Dear Beth, App-uh-lay-shun is indeed correct. I can tell you for certain because I live there. Thank you so much for the entertainment and knowledge. Much love from the U.S.
Just because you and your kin is so dumb they mispronounce the name of their area, doesn't mean your mispronunciation is correct.

Cyndi is absolutely class act.
It’s great when a singers actual TIMBRE is their TRADEMARK . Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart , Sting etc. you know Immediately who it is !
At first, like a lot of people, I dismissed Cyndi as a teeniebopper fad for kids, liked her unorthodox look but didn't really notice anything special.

I sing in the choir on Sundays. The music director/ organist had to admit that he was a bit star struck. He mostly plays Bach and Mozart.
I went to one of her concerts 20 days ago and she's still amazing! ❤
Nice. I'll be seeing her in November on this Farewell Tour. Can't wait!
Cyndi Lauper is amazing.
The blues album she recorded (Memphis Blues) was a great album to react
The original version was a reference track she recorded and it was so special that they went with that version. She such a special singer ❤
Cyndi is turning 72 in June of this year and she is still as magical as when she was 21 !!
Cyndi is an authentic, beautiful person and talent. What a perfect song for the world today.
Ahh I love your reactions to my favorite- and unknown artists from your channel. It´s eye watering to listen to them and have your comments..adorable!
One of the most beautiful songs ever
thank you. i love this song, cyndi lauper is the queen
A friend of mine used to wait tables at a restaurant she would go to quite often. He still gushes over her. She was always kind and warm to the staff.
She’s obviously also a very talented singer, but you don’t need me to tell you that!
Although she’s aged, and her voice has changed, her singing has the same impact. She doesn’t just sing the notes, she sings the song.
Cyndi Lauper is
Over 70 years old, she has a voice
Beautiful and powerful, she saved Rock in Rio last year, she was the only one who sang live, she's wonderful.
Cyndi and Kelly Clarkson did this as a duet on Kelly's show a few years ago, it's very much worth checking out.

Thanks Beth ! Beautiful piece of music. I remember it from my youth.. Probably why I learned it on piano in the day....
I really like this one ❤❤
A moment I'll never forget: watching tv. The show at the german wall in Berlin, after the reunition. At the end of that show, all of those musicians where singing a final song.
Must have been some 50 or 60. To me: her voice was standing out. I was able to clearly her her voice.

While I do know the tone of her voice well: it was still amazing to me to identify this one voice, next to so many.
If you haven’t heard it, You would absolutely LOVE her version of “At Last.”
you should also check out her live acoustic performance of Change of Heart... you'll get her gritty voice and sky scraping vocals.
such a fabulous artist
Muy bonita en su versión demasiada melancolía bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀
I’ve heard “Appalachian” both ways. I think you’re right, it’s a regional dialect thing.
I agree, there are both right.
There are so many regional dialects in the USA, I’m sure most of us won’t be concerned at all. Maybe you will hear from a true Appalachian.
As always, I love your reactions and all that I learn from you. 🎧 🎼💗
Correct pronunciation is App - Ah Lash Ee Ah. 😊
Fun fact- a large percentage of Appalachians are Scottish descent , and bits of Scottish culture are still there. 2 years ago, USA Kilts came out with a tartan as salute , called Appalachian Folklore & its one of their best selling tartan products.
On February I'm gonna see her live on Europe Tour, I can't wait!
It is in the end of our short lives all that matters. L.O.V.E.!❤
Great song and reaction . Cyndi is such a talent!
Beth, your Appalachian and "Scottish person" comment got me thinking ...
So, a suggestion for listening ... and also a separate suggestion for a
reaction ...
Speaking of a "Scottish person" & Appalachia ... you should listen to the
nearly painfully beautiful song "Ashokan Farewell" from the legendary
Transatlantic Sessions music series and program (this one from 1995).
Ashokan Farewell is an instrumental, so you may or may not want to do a
reaction to it, but for the sake of your soul you absolutely should hear it.
Ashokan is an area in the Catskill Mountains in the northern Appalachian.
And the "Scottish person" is the great Scottish fiddler Aly Bain, playing
along with Jay Ungar the song's composer.
The performance was recorded at Montgreenan House in Ayrshire, Scotland.
This song can be found on youtube at the title ...
ASHOKEN FAREWELL - JAY UNGER - TRANSATLANTIC SESSIONS - 1995
(note in the song's title, above, this is "as written", even though the proper spelling of
Ashokan is not with an "e".)
AND ... furthermore, here are two suggestions from that Transatlantic series
that you could also do reactions to ... both of these songs are sung ...
First, another song for your soul (one that I sometimes just put on loop at
home) ... Rod Paterson doing "Auld Lang Syne" using the song's traditional
lyrics. Certainly the must beautiful recording of the song ever.
On youtube at ...
Transatlantic Sessions - Auld Lang Syne (Rod Paterson)
AND one more ...
The vocally interesting performance of the song "Our Town" by Iris Dement.
In this Transatlantic Sessions performance she is singing with Emmylou Harris
and accompanied again by Aly Bain.
The song on youtube (the specific version uploaded by "buppie2000") is at the
title ...
Iris Dement - Our Town
All three of these songs are music for the soul and so wonderful.
Beth, if you are not familiar with it, the Transatlantic Session series (1995
to 2013) was such a gift and has so much music.
I hope you'll do any/all of them or at least give them a listen.
Hi. I'm from Appalachia. Both pronunciations are correct.
Thank you for confirming that. ✌️
Hope I still have power to watch this in Central Florida.
You best be getting out of there
Appalachian: p sure people have already said this in the comments but both are correct. Long "a" is more used in the northern section of the region, short "a" is more commonly heard in the southern section. As a Carolina native (SC, but lots of time in NC as well), I've heard the short "a" version most :)

Loved the analysis, been listening to Cindi Lauper since I was a kid.
App-a-LAY-shun / App-a-LAA-tchun
Care-ri-BEE-an / Ca-RI-Be-an
They’re both correct and can vary by individual or even be said both ways by the same person in different phrases.
If you haven't heard her cover of At Last, you really should check it out. It gave me a whole new level of respect for her ability.
Clasic Beth ❤❤❤❤❤
Her great song "Time After Time" was covered by the great Miles Davis - very beautiful rendition.
I am a happily married woman, but still entranced by that glorious mane if yours!
The deep and warm green sweater looks comfy in addition to perfectly bringing out the vivid nuances of autumn 🍁 reds. The blue wall behind you also keeps showing that your eyes are not the green that the hair and sweater combo would lead one to believe, but a lovely calm blue.
Maybe I will be able to listen to your wonderful review now?
The original demo is on youtube, Steinberg singing. It’s worth checking out.
You my dear can say Appalachian however you want........because you are one of us and we are you.
Just glorious. If that wasn't Joe Jackson on piano, they're a heck of a look a like.
You should react to camila mientes
You can say "Appalachian" either way. People from there tend to say AH-chen but either is acceptable. You're always awesome!
As a native Minnesotan, I've heard it pronounced both ways. I'm more used to, however, hearing it with a long "a" in the third syllable.
I loved you I love Sindy lauper❤❤
Im from Memphis TN always thought it was pronounced Ap pa lay sha but I've been corrected it's Ap p latcha and was informed from folks in that region
I have not yet covered this song! (Gotta remedy that oversight!)
This video of Cyndi Pauper covering the Joni Mitchell song "Carey" for Joni Mitchell is totally inappropriate to put forth as a reaction request or suggestion, due to the lack of quality video production, but I gotta say Beth, it is one of the best covers I've ever heard. And Joni loved it as did the audience. Sent for your enjoyment only. Oh crap! Thought I'd copied the link, please find it a reply to my post.
Had to use the reply due to the device I'm on.

Dang it! Now I've gotta see The Goonies, again! ♥
EDIT 9:01 Oh My 😲 ..guess i'm a bit TO(1979) young for the style...?
Primary roots of Appalachia is Scots from what I understand. In Texas we say Appa-laysha. I can't swear how they say it there. Most of our country music/blue grass actually comes from Scots/Irish.
Gotta do ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
You must hear Cyndi do At Last!
BETH.. love your shock of red hair! I am of Scottish orgin... Love your content... watch her video.. I drove all night...it will blow you away...
Cyndi made it her own!
When I was younger,you were either Team Madonna,or Team Cyndi,I was a member of Team Cyndi. Madonna is basically a one trick pony.
Yeah, Madonna had some decent tunes, but Cyndi is forever.
I saw her at an Australian concert in the 1980s. The concert was delayed by a week as she had lost her voice. At this concert, this song was sung in a nasally style.
She devoted this song at the height of the AIDS crisis in the 80ies to a friend of hers she lost due to AIDS and to all those gone by the disease, especially back in the days, when it came up packed with tons of stigma as well.

App-Ah-Lach-Ee-ah! You got it right.
Hi Beth, i I would like to see you react to Dulce Maria, she is a Mexican singer with such a unique tone, I love her!
Please react to "I'm gonna be strong". Amazing song and great vocals
In the northeast we say Appala SH ian appalachian.
You should listen to Rob Thomas's version of this song
My bad the song he covers is Time after Time
Sounds like Cindy is covering a cover of her own song 😊. The toned down version of this reminds me of Eva Cassidy's version of this song.
ua-cam.com/video/ZdYj89Mx6ik/v-deo.htmlsi=qlj9OWVUkz3iLXoz
On a side note, would love to see you cover Rindi Ross and Karise Eden
Hi Beth. Could you react to a song of Caetano Veloso. He is literally so famous in Brazil. And i don't think you know him. "A luz de tieta" talks about false moralism and old conceptions. And "Sozinho" might be the most romantic song of our country!!
Eu queria que você reagisse os Mamonas Assassina homenagem a eles ele já morreram😢😢😢
You need to listen to the cover by Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake on the Trolls soundtrack. It keeps all the emotion and takes it even further as a duet. 10 out of 10.

the second one.
Phil Collins does a nice version of this song too.
Appalachia is pronounced "AP-uh-lah-cha" by natives, which means that's how it should be said. Just like "Thames" is pronounced "tim-s" by natives, and that makes it the right way to say it/ 🤗
Either pronunciation is fine.
I, too, have always heard both the short "a" and long "a" interchangeably. It may be regional, so don't worry about offending America.
The first pronunciation of 'appalachian' is the only one I've heard here in the US.
Listen to ishq lost and found, with subtitles u will love it
Don’t worry about the pronunciation of Appalachian. Different people pronounce it differently not only in different parts of the Appalachian region but also outside. None of them are wrong. Say it however comes naturally to you.
most underrated singer of all time. her "problem" is she had people and law firms playing with her for decades. They pretend to fight over the rights of the music but they keep all the money and nothing gets out. her music is sequestered by law firms. what a shame. All you gotta do is watch her sing Money Changes Everything live from Paris and her talent is evidently up there with Elvis, Sia, Juan Gabriel, Luis Miguel, Adele, Robbie Williams, and whatever else. she is so underrated just because of laws and people in the way of it.
She is just perfect !! But clearly if she wasn't touching vocal performance would be even better.
Look for Arautos do Rei Quartet.
