Can you imagine being 72 and sing about being 17 . This fact gives the song so much more meaning. The amount of nostalgia that recording this song must have brought Cher is astronomical . She is still that seventeen year old girl inside her soul
I prefer ABBA's original version. This is NOT a knock on Cher, she still sounds phenomenal. This is 2018? You have to be impressed, she has not lost her voice.
Her voice is like the viola of the string section. Smooth, beautiful with a slight fry to the tone, and while a mostly darker tone a middle high register that opens up that hits all of those perfect bright resonances. I love you Cher.
As a huge ABBA fan for so many years, I have to say Cher has done great justice to all the songs on this album, I've absolutely loved all of them!!! Every single detail has been taken care of and here we have new, fresh versions, without losing their original greatness. Cher is a true, dedicated, complete artist, thank you Abba and Cher for this wonderful music!!
