Cher reveals why Fernando was so difficult to learn for Mamma Mia 2 

hamporpabor347 I thought it was made in Croatia

Ngoc Minh Nguyen Hoai It's set in Greece

Thats what i´m gonna do????

The fictional story is set in Greece, but the filming was set in Croatia.

rocker girl i just go to the hotel myself no 😊barn no no baby

Oh great,now I have to as well lol.

Same lol

I just did....

Me too

Remarkable woman.

Yeah, that much wealth can buy the best cosmetic surgeons. I feel that her voice has deepened though, which is to be expected. Since her voice is worth so much I'm sure she's had work done to help preserve it, as long as she avoids the doctor that ruined Julie Andrews vocal chords, she'll be fine...

Yeah and this is from someone who once said "I don't think I am going to live that long" back in the 1960s

Sorry she looks so Botoxed and plastic-surgeried, she can’t even move. She hasn’t aged gracefully at all. And she couldn’t learn the lyrics? They aren’t in English? They’re backwards? How insulting and what in hell was she talking about? She couldn’t learn them because they are real and not paltry like in the songs she’s use to singing and shows the lame Hollywood mentality we have to accept as stardom. Ugh!

dar ten ikr she looks absolutely gorgeous and I cant believe shes 72 and shes that beautiful

Also, she's only 3 years older than Meryl Streep, whose mother she is playing in the movie. This is the sort of movie where you realize so much of this doesn't make ANY sense, but you sort of shrug and just go with it.

I hate the lips pumped up. If. Wish she'd stayed with her original face. She was killer gorgeous.

I don’t care what you say about this iconic woman and Plastic surgery She Cher has the true beauty face structure that can never be taken away I love and adore her The true Queen of beauty and poise So down you haters If only you had her talent The jealousy 😏shows in your comments about her. Live on Forever my Queen 🧝🏼‍♀️👑✨my Heroine 🧖🏽‍♀️🧝🏽‍♀️ My Cherokee Maiden 🧝🏻‍♀️🙌🏾👩🏻‍🎤👩🏻‍🎨🧝🏽‍♀️💆🏻‍♀️ My Gypsy Queen 👸🏻🙏🏼🤽‍♀️

Chris Meadows because Meryl Streep looks 55

warriorbard I can’t get through a Karaoke session singing The Winner Takes it All without sobbing. 😭

Very well put!

Excellent explanation!! You nailed it!

Dude you understand me

warriorbard wow! Very well said!! And soo true!!🙌🏻👏🏻🦋

Bahahahah 😂 lmao

😂😂😂

Well, no reason for gay people to get all the good music. Plenty room to share.

My favorite as a kid was "Dancing queen" . Frida went on to record solo and one of my all time favorite new wave(ish) singles from that work she did is " I know there is something going on". Sadly, the album didn't chart well but the single did well internationally.

I meant that as a tongue in cheek compliment. A fellow actor jibed with me and said, "You're a big gay, aren't you?" just because I liked musicals, and that was my response. Just realize you can't read tone on a youtube comment.

Alex Alex nothing homophobic about that. That word is so overused it's pathetic

It's straightphobic

The second movie was actually filmed in the Adriatic islands of Croatia, though the setting was supposed to still be Greece.

I mean as a gay person there's not a lot of music that is made FOR us, and especially not back in the day, so gay people kind of flock to certain bands and starts. And it's very fitting that a band like ABBA, beloved by gay people, is turned into a musical. Musicals are full of gay people in the cast and behind the scenes. So while music can be loved by all, it is very significant for this minority group, and because gay culture has been erased in history, i think that makes it all the more important to shine a light on it.

I_Am_Serenity Lisa love what you wrote!

Cath WHAT!!!!

Umm 80's band Eraure are gay and Sang Abba Songs. They are an awesome group by the way. ❤❤❤💖💖💖

Cath A lot of Gays in the 80's. Look for the New wave Groups. :) All the music is awesome. Erasure is on of them. Pet shop Boys too. :) My Sister is Gay and these our go too for great music. ❤❤❤

Tacoma98 Australia NEVER thought Abba was passe (not the lgbtq+ not the straight community) In Australia Abba is religion - hahaha!

Straight people never really knew how to have fun

BS.

Tacoma98 I’m calling it like it is...STRAIGHT UP BS! I have Loved ABBA since I was 11 years old and definitely when the Songs were not in just English. What a ridiculous comment...Wow

It _is_ cheesy and passé and always was even in the '70s (and I'm gay, so there!)

abbasolutely agree. this is simply one of the best cover versions ... ever. not that that is so hard, most cover versions are a waste of time. sinead o'connor, of course, would be a shining example of how to redo and improve cover songs with 'nothing compares 2u' and 'sacrifice' and pet shop boys do marvellous covers too. cher makes this song her own, and i just loved the way they wove it into the show. sooooooo well done, the whole audience cheered. love and peace to you and all, xxxxxxx

SOLODOG63 thought that was just me.

SOLODOG63 He's probably not into sluts either!!!! LOL

She's not into those publicity stunt as she's no fuck left 2 give.

SOLODOG63 i was thinking that. Cher talented but the lack of chemistry 😢

Supposedly, Cher is only in the last 10 minutes or so of the film. I doubt that she and Garcia had a chance to talk to each other much since they probably only had a day or two of shooting. So, in fact, they're strangers. Would be different if they had been characters with scenes together throughout the filming and spent a couple of months together on set. I think it would have been much better to have interviewed them separately.

Planner Cookie Mama no, she had had no plastic surgery, her grandma has great skin and it runs in her family.

King Person she has had plenty of surgery and proudly admits it. She once said and u quote “if I want to staple my tits to my back that’s my business.” She doesn’t give a good damn what anyone thinks. Love her!

damn lol

yes it is, but she didn't get her thoughts across clearly & it got worse the more she tried to explain. What I think she meant was because Benny & Bjorn are Swedish, to write it in English is a second language and as such their grasp on words flowing along isn't the norm - in some cases short responses is all that's needed to get a point across without excess words. And their sentence structure is different to ours - similarly like how Germans will use a verb at the end of a sentence rather than earlier on.. Does that explain a bit better ?

@@glebeboi well said, exactly the way i understood her

@@glebeboi I'm swedish and I think so too, like you explained it.

The original isn't in English. Is what i think she meant to say

I dont know about other people but I have been lissening to Abba sence the 70s and now at 62 still love them .I live in the U.S.

summerholliday44. No..is not simple but danged if III get why. Because they're more flamboyantly female and easier to copy?

Because they're bigger than life and dramatic, imo. Literally drama queens.

I think also..they are bold..flamboyant and a bit masculine...while feminine......and of course..the "IT" factor......

originally written in Swedish, I believe.

It’s not a romantic song or about wanting to be loved. Can you hear the drums Fernando I remember long ago another starry night like this In the firelight Fernando You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar I could hear the distant drums And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar They were closer now Fernando Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally I was so afraid Fernando We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die And I'm not ashamed to say The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando Now we're old and grey Fernando And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand Can you hear the drums Fernando Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande I can see it in your eyes How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando Yes, if I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando

😂😂😂

Laurence von Winkenburger wow what happened to his voice must have been a big smoker or drinker

Laurence von Winkenburger why do you say that Laurence, my pen friend? It was a good few years after the christening we had to call the undertaker???

perth45 She was saying how English was ABBA’s second language and you can tell that from how they construct their songs. Their word choice and sentence compositions are indicative of someone whose first language is not English. She was saying because their word choice is so peculiar and not like regular American music, it was hard for her to memorize the lyrics. You’ve gotta remember...she’s a songwriter so she has a formulaic approach to music, so it would put her out of her comfort zone to cover foreign artists.

I died😂😂😂

Pretty sure Cher is talking about the flow of the words, it is english but the structure is backward to how it would be spoken in conversation.

Do you have an example? I still don't get it :)

You wouldn't understand what she's talking about honey, the song is English yes but it was written by foreign songwriters Benny and Bjorn in other words the construction of the songs they write are very different from what American singers and songwriters are use to. Cher being an artist and songwriter herself can identify those things better than we can, to us it's just a song with English words but she can dig a little deeper and tell u some interesting stuff about music having been in the industry over 50 years

To me he looks more like Milk lmao

Haha, that's why I clicked. "Katya interviewing Cher?! YESSSS."

If milk and Katya had a baby

Madison Cherish please get out of my house

I'm calling the police.

Since when?
