Two years after this interview, she did an absolute reinvention of her music and released Believe and I fell in love with her. 23 years later Believe still sounds so fresh and future-proof
Her eyes is what got me, cameras can’t truly capture them. Honestly, and I don’t mean this as shade - when I saw her she had a lot of make up on, which you could tell but who cares?? It’s CHER, she’s an absolute legend and no one comes near her❤️
Ok, she is definitely insecure about many things and hates people like Brittany Spears who can't sing to save their lives. So she was about 50 y/o here. Midlife crisis? In "Celebrity World" that can be VERY old. All depends on your audience and what you do as entertainment etc. You, of course, know that she has had plenty of face work done not to mention she had her teeth fixed. Just google "sonny and cher show" or similar and check the images. She was always beautiful except for her teeth. But gravity does take its toll.
I've been looking for this for years... one of my favorite moments on this show ever. The 2nd half is classic. Thanks so much for uploading it. I really needed this today.
Wilma FistFit No, I’m not a Trump supporter in the least. Will always love Rosie, but she seemed lighter and happier during her talk show years. Just sayin’
Just noticed...Cher's wearing MOM JEANS! it was '96...I remember there was a fad of the high waisted wide leg jeans going on back then...if anyone can rock mom jean's it's Cher...
T Hop, she'd run circles around you in regards to business. She has a very good business sense. But, go ahead and think she's dumb. She will laugh all the way to the bank with it!
She's right...without Sonny I don't think we'd be enjoying Cher. Thank you Sonny, may you R.I.P. And Rosie was right...without Cher Sonny would be pumping gas somewhere...LoL Cher is, has, and always will be 2nd to none. And still so damn hot !!!
They are not the same. Cher makes fun of herself. Madonna takes her self more serious. Yes they both make dance/pop music and wear little clothing, and have the same type of fan base. But Cher can take a joke and make fun of herself, she laughs about her cosmetic enhancements. Madonna never discusses them. Nothing wrong with that. But clearly, they aren't the same.
They both had/have very carefully crafted personas that differentiate them from run-of-the-mill pop singers. They both found out that mixing a little bit of being yourself with a lot of iconoclastic imagery and publicity went a really long way. And thank the cosmos for BOTH of them! Enough said.
Rosie was SO fng good/funny here! Absolutely peak/classic, iconic Rosie Show (mid 90s daytime TV). Yep, rarely if ever saw Cher blatantly enjoying herself so much and this loose! Wouldn't at ALL be surprised if this one episode got Rosie the Emmy that year (or the next)!
Rosie had such a fun show. Cher has such a Gr8 laugh. Always so honest, even abt Letterman making a move on her & she being giddy abt it. More importantly abt her connection with Sonny. Never doubt that connection was made in Heaven 🌷
i was standing right Next to Cher , She Loves Playing Her Space Invaders Game . I asked Her Who's Winning ? And She Replied The Little Guys . Bette Midler Was Also With Me Too ......
Cher is one hell of a classy women. I admire her so much. Im 55 yrs old and and wish someday i could see her perform and even better meet her. Of course that would never happen but i can have a few dreams here and there
UGH! The reason I remember this episode is because I wanted to see it, but I was either too lazy or incompetent to set the VCR to tape it while I was away at Driver's Ed class :)
I think it's interesting Cher said she wasn't very well known in Japan because Japan is very big on pop music. But this was pre-believe so I'm sure she became well known in Japan after that song came out. But I could be wrong
Yeah, well, you're very late to the party and so is Japan. Cher's been a superstar probably twice as long as you've been alive. Don't get me wrong, she's still insecure and can be a mean bitch--but a very talented one.
suckittomcat yes your right Cher has been a star twice as long (perhaps longer) as I've been alive. But I knew who Cher was when I was like 3 cuz she's one of my mothers favorite singers. I remember when believe came out (I was probably 4 or 5) and my mother had a cassette tape of Turn Back Time on Cher's workout video. My mother also had the camel candle holder from Cher's catalog. So maybe I haven't been alive that long but I'm very well aware of a lot of the classic superstar musicians. Don't judge me cuz of my youth.
klassicalmuzik Not judging. I'm pleasantly surprised. That's one of the reasons utube is great. You guys can sample artists from decades ago. Once you click on one, Big Brother suggests more for you which is not such a bad thing. :-) Music these days has taken quite a turn for the worse. Add to that, I had to live through all that depressing alternative rock crap too.
Omg she looks so young and gorgeous . Lol I have to giggle at Bette midlers line in first wives club thanks to cher's pioneering efforts u still haven't reached puberty lol to Goldie Hawn character about plastic surgery
