Remember Alicia Silverstone played Cher and Stacey Dash was Dionne in Clueless. Stacey was named after superstar Dionne Warwick. And Alicia was named after the one and only Cher.
Good things happened in the 1990s. In the words of Cher “If I could turn back time…” I would warp us into 1995. Then, we’ll party like it’s 1999. R.I.P. Prince.
Do you notice how many great music artists go by 1 name? What if movie stars did the same thing? Imagine 23 Jump Street starring Channing and Jonah. #23 Michael appears in a cameo scene.
The main point is: there’s only one Cher. All the others are just imitators. So won’t the real Cher please stand up? S/O Eminem.
Like Barbra Streisand, the Cher sound is larger than life. Her vocal chords stretches to the highest degree. She owned the 1970s. We could also time travel to that era and save Jimi Hendrix.
Currently Cher leads 5 million Twitter and
Facebook followers. She has sold more than
100 million records. Plus this celebrity has a net
worth exceeding $305 million.
It’s easy to admire Cher because her career is admirable. Fans and musicians (of all stages) adore her beautiful art. You can spend the whole music appreciation class discussing her records and concerts. Who wouldn’t mind listening to a lecture on this singer?
There’s a certain boldness and rich quality to her voice. She’s finely tuned like a Steinway Grand Piano. It’s as if the one of a kind celebrity tickles the ebonies and ivories with her tonsils. How sure are we that her throat doesn’t have keys?
Teacher Appreciation Day
Alicia Keys and Beyoncé can teach Nicki Minaj. Mariah Carey can teach Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor. Rihanna and Lady Gaga can teach Miley Cyrus. Last but not least, Cher can teach the teachers.
I feel Cher inspires maybe even Madonna. Plus
the El Centro, California homegirl inspires the
world. Applaud her fearlessness and courage to
take on challenges.
In closing, celebrities come and go. We
call them stars because their glory fades
but they shine for amoment. The truly amazing
stars don an everlasting glow. Cher is amazing.
I am Guru Jay launching into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!
