Not a big Cher fan however there are 3 songs I absolutely adore. Number one by far is.....

I FOUND SOMEONE - this song friggin rocks my world! *sings* "And I remember the thunder talkin' bout that fire in your eyes" Dang I love this song. I need to dl it right now.

We all sleep alone - sooner or later we all do and aint that the bloody truth!

Turn Back Time - I do the best imitation of her singing this song. They die at work every time I do it.

Sisters Of Mercy


"Sisters of mercy
Daughters of hell
They always weave
Their web of lies
And wrap you in their
Wicked spell
Sisters of mercy
Masters of pain
They try to crucify your
Innocence
And do it in God's name"

Who knew she could be such a great songwriter? :thumbsup:

I also like the Kama Sutra intro on her live DVD right before this song I think.

I've gone on a Cher downloading rampage to my ipod. God help me now!

I just found the We All Sleep Alone remix. How lucky can one girl get? :laugh:

SapphireSister
09-07-2005, 11:10 PM
Wow Michael Bolton wrote I found Someone and Jon Bon Jovi wrote We All Sleep Alone. I had no clue!

Does she write any of her own songs? All the songs on her albums from the 80's seem to be written by other people.

Because Stevie writes so much of her own music and is such a prolific sonngwriter and being that I'm a huge fan of hers I respect people as artists so much more when they write their own stuff. Oh well for Cher, she's got other things going I guess.

Ha ha you are soooooo damn right about that one sister! The Witches of Eastwick, Moonstruck, and Mask are 3 of my all time favorite movies. Damn that woman can act. Good point there.

Oh well for Cher, she's got other things going I guess.I never hold it against a singer when they don't write their own music.
The "great ones" like Frank Sinatra rarely ever wrote any of their own material.

And some of my favorite female singers, like Tina Turner and Bonnie Tyler, have only written a few of their own songs over the years.

Some folks are "just" singers, while others are singer/songwriters.

You are soooo right about that. That's why I love these discussions because I can get other people's insight. Does Babs write her own stuff? I'd venture to say not.

Johnny does Cher write any of her own stuff?The song that I quoted earlier in this thread was written entirely by Cher. It's from the album Not.Commercial, which is nothing but songs written entirely by Cher. There are some really good lyrics on that CD, IMO.

I really wish Bon Jovi had given Stevie We All Sleep Alone instead of that castles of candy bull sh*t although I really love Cher's version. Could anyone see Stevie singing We All Sleep Alone? lol.

Not.Commercial is wonderful. She went to a songwriting workshop in Paris and wrote all of these songs. She went into the studio and cut the tracks but only gave them out as Christmas presents to family and friends until some people persuaded her to release them as a CD on her website.
Totally different than anything she has ever done, the collection is a very telling look into this amazing woman's life.
I'm going to have to put this on when I get home tonight!

I am the only gay man on earth who does not like Cher. Her voice bugs me. I consider her pretty much a joke as far as music goes. Movies/acting is another thing. I think she has great presence, a good sense of humor, and is all around just fun...but she cannot sing.

No offense meant to anyone...just my opinion. I have had enough of Cher and if I ever have to listen to Believe again, it would be way too soon.

Relax. :laugh: I love Bette to death. But I seriously don't think she's much of a singer. She's more fun as an actress. Cher is certainly better vocally. And before her surgery, she was totally gorgeous. I love her "Moonstruck" face. She should have stopped there. But noooooooo! :distress:
