Cher calling it like it is.

CHER has started the long goodbye to her Australasian fans as only she can -- with the biggest show in town.







Cher, 58, opened the Down Under leg of her tour in Auckland last night, with an energetic 2 1/2-hour performance and compelling retrospective of 40 years in the spotlight.
Cher abandoned her usual entrance -- descending from a giant chandelier -- because it was too windy at Auckland's outdoor North Shore stadium.

Instead, Cher ascended to centre stage, full of sparkle and attitude.

"I'm not going to give up show business, but there are new girls coming up like Britney and J-Lo," Cher said.

The 20,000-strong crowd booed in response. "I know," Cher said, joking: "They are hoes, aren't they?"

When the Living Proof farewell tour rolls into Melbourne on Saturday, it will rank as one of the biggest indoor productions to visit Australia.

Cher has 100 tour personnel, including an assistant for personal wellness.

She opens her Australian tour with three Rod Laver Arena dates, from Saturday.

THERE SUM HOOOOS IN DIS HOUSE DER SUM HOOOOS IN DIS HOUSE

if you see 'em, point 'em out...

Cher got a lotta nerve.

People can crack on Cher all they want, but I do like her quite a bit. Her honesty is often disguised as humor, and sometimes the other way around, and she pokes as much fun at herself as she does others. As many times as she's been called the same, I'm sure it was a joke.

I call 'em hoes too

I wanst crackin on Cher I like Cher, Im gay I have to like her

But every1 has 2 admit...Britney and J.Lo have HO tendencies....

I don't think you were crackin' on her Just a general observation.

BlaqueKnight said:

What Cher says may be true ..but what makes her think SHE ain't a HO?

To be in the "music" business for 40 years and have no musicallity to her --she'd have to be...

There's a difference between a "whore" and a "ho". I have the upmost respect and admiration for "whores". Cher is right about those too though. A "ho" is cheap.

Cher is a "whore". Those too are "hoes".

I remember getting off to that song in the clubs back in my "whoring" days.

Cher has an amazing sense of humor.

What gets me is that she is able to poke fun at herself as well. She has made fun of her age and the way she dresses thousands of times. This is one of the many reasons i love Ms. Cher.

Well she used to call them bitches. Now the gloves are off...if this tour continues for another few years, she might be calling them the C-word!

It takes a bonified HOE to spot another, I guess

Harlepolis said:

I was gonna say the same thing. I love Cher though. She's a hoot and EXTREMELY talented.

"The woman thinks she's the best invention since sliced bread."

Cher on Madonna

"U've done this a few times..Do I cut just one piece or the whole cake?"

Madonna 2 cher at her 1st wedding

Martinelli said:

Cher's only been married twice, so the joke isn't as witty as it sounds.

3 times

jayaredee said:

To Sonny, Greg Allman, and who else?

I'm sure she's only been married twice. Sonny and Gregg. I believe her and Madonna have been married the same amount of times. It would be damn interesting to know how close they are when it comes to how many lovers they've each had. Not that it's any of our business, but it would be fun to know anyway.

Even though I think Cher has an awful voice, I've been a fan since I was 7 or 8 years old. She's an amazing woman had has had a great career. I think she's a very ballsy woman too.

kisscamille said:

She certainly beats Madonna in the vocal and acting talent departments.

VoicesCarry said:

I agree with you on that 100%. I'm not a fan of Cher's voice, but I love her. I'm not a fan of anything that Madonna does. I liked her in Evita and I like a few of her older songs, but her acting is laughable, her voice is below average and her writing

Cher =
Cher's "voice" =

Although I did think she was funny in Stuck on You, I would never willingly see one of her movies.
