Cher: The Farewell Tour (2003 TV Special)

The best concert ever

[10/10 · 8 December 2006]

This was one of the best concerts I ever saw. The DVD brings on the small TV-screen the most powerful concert of the biggest diva of the last five decades.

Cher is glamorous and beautiful, and her voice is stronger than ever. The show brings on stage her biggest hits from her first hit-single "All I really want to do", to "If I could turn back time", over "The Shoop Shoop Song" to "Believe" and "Song for the lonely...

It is a great goodbye to her fans, and she shows once again that after hit-singles from 1965 to 2001, after Emmy-winning TV-shows and Oscarwinning roles, she still is the one and only diva.

Cher (1975–1976)

terrific show hosted by the "navel of America"

[10/10 · 21 April 2006]

"The Cher Show" started after the divorce of Cher and Sonny Bono. It was a music- and Comedyshow, in which Cher always invited famous Gueststars, like Bette Midler or Elton John in the first show, but also Tina Turner, Jerry Lewis, Nancy Walker, Lily Tomlin or Ray Charles were guests of the show. Very interesting are the appearances of Gregg Allman, which became Cher's second husband and father of her son.

Cher used the show to proof that she could succeed in TV also without her ex-husband Sonny, and she did it quite well. She was funny, attractive as usually and sang great duets with other stars like Tina Turner or Ray Charles.

Certainlx the music parts are the better parts of the show. Cher's voice has always been very emotional and special. The combination of her powerful voice, her sexy body and the beautiful Bob Macky dresses made the most important part of the show.

Besides the songs and duets, Cher played in lots of comedy and slapstick appearances with Comedystars like Lily Tomlin, Jerry Lewis or Steve Martin. The most popular part was Cher's role as Laverne, a character she created in her show with Sonny years before.

Cher's show is interesting, because it shows how variable she is. At that time everybody knew her as Popstar, but nobody expected her to become an Academy Award winning actress and the most successful Diva.
