Another month, another clutch of Cyndi gigs on Youtube. The performance of "At Last" is the best I've seen so far. I wish there were more people who could do what she does. Alas, it's a rare, rare thing. Oh, and check out her ten minutes of talking (or rambling) at the bottom there. It's a riot.

At Last



When U Were Mine



Change of Heart



Carey



Cyndi Rambling - HILARIOUS!

Bump.

Oops, that was an accident.

Isn't she the one who sang Kids in America?

I realize this was an attempt at humour, but the fact that you could even think of it underlines your philistine nature.

No doubt this is more up your street.....



That's, like, real talent there, huh?

Man, you still think Cyndie is big art, mh?

Listen, I'm like the biggest Lennon and McCartney fan (together or solo) and they both have more niveau, are more artsy than Cyndie.

midnightmover said:

What are you going on about artsiness for? I never said anything about Cyndi being "artsy" whatever that means. You came to shit on this thread simply because I dissed Madonna elsewhere. My grounds for criticisng Madonna were ARTISTIC ones, not PERSONAL ones as you Madonna freaks tried to argue. As the clip I posted shows, she is simply incompetent. Obviously you haven't forgotten it because you're now taking it out on Cyndi by making comments of a philistine nature. If you can watch that clip of Cyndi singing "At Last" and think she is down on the level of Kim Fucking Wilde then you are a philistine. No surprise given your worship of that hopeless amateur Madonna.

And by the way, if you're trying to prove your "artsy" tastes then the Beatles, great as they are, are not effective proof. Cliff Richard fans love The Beatles too.

Is she still opening for Cher? What does this woman do for a living when pride week ends?

midnightmover said:

I came up with the term for one reason: You use Madonna to tell us how great Cyndie is.

And all I do is: Cyndie is not the ultimate goal, so would you please stop pretending she is.

At the end of the day, noone but you cares about her, why don't you join an CL forums, if there is sucha thing, Would would member have to discuss permannentely?

jayaredee said:

I think she lives a private life, I think she just lays low until it's time to do her shows and when she records, she probably records at her own pace. But no I don't think she's opening for Cher, if so, good, but I don't think she is this time.

Cyndi Lauper is a very talented artist. Unfortunately she put out some very unremarkable music around the time that she started slowing down due to illness and then love/marriage/family.

Her last album was awesome, but unfortunately got little to no airplay (hmm...sounds familiar P fans?).

One day I hope to be able to see her live.

didnt cyndi do 'girls just wanna have fun"?

midnightmover said:

wow. you couldn't wait, could you? you get more and more transparent every time. i'm starting to wonder if you even like Cyndi that much and every thread you start about her is just an opportunity to start slagging Madonna

way to sabotage your own thread, dumb ass.

Funny how there can never be a Cyndi Lauper or Janet Jackson thread without someone dragging Madonna into it

errant said:

Congratulations,midnightmover! You just ruined your own thread (again)

lowkey said:

Yep yep.

I looooove Cyndi Lauper

Imago said:

me too. she's awesome.

graecophilos said:

What on earth are you blabbering on about? I NEVER use Cyndi to bash Madonna. Ever! Show me ONE example of me doing that. You won't be able to because I never have. It's you idiots who keep bringing up Cyndi Lauper whenever I point out how shit Madonna is. In the future, please refrain from twisting things.

Cyndi is the best female performer in the game. Point blank. You wouldn't know because you're too swayed by the cult of personality. You are under the illusion that commercial success is an indicator of talent. It is not.

lowkey said:

I don't understand the point of this post. Given that it's coming from someone who holds a grudge against me for telling the truth about Janet Wackson I suspect it's motivated by petty animosity rather than any interest in the subject.

Errant and SoulAlive. The two of you are either being obtuse or dishonest. One or the other. If you actually read the thread you will see it was graecophilos who felt compelled to deliver an insult for no reason other than the fact that I pissed him off on a Madonna thread. His entire presence in the thread is motivated by his anger at me for dissing Madonna. If you want to pretend otherwise then I'd advise you not to sit too close to the screen for fear of your extended noses crashing into it.

Almost everyone on this thread (including the two of you and jayaradee) are Madonna or Janet fans merely expressing their PETTY animosity towards ME for insulting their idols. But this thread is not about me or Madonna. It's about Cyndi Lauper, so fuck off if you have no interest in the subject. I posted the proof of Madonna's shitness only because graecophilos is bashing Cyndi purely because I dissed Madonna. It's the same CHILDISH nonsense SoulAlive was doing last year about Cyndi. Posting sarky comments, not because he even disliked Cyndi, but simply because I like her. At least when I diss Madonna you know I'm being sincere about it. When these guys post negative comments about Cyndi they're only doing it because it's me that's praising her. How pathetic is that?

Getting back to the actual topic, here is a great clip I recently found from 1995...

oh boo hoo stop crying like a bitch. this is the org not the politically-correct convention. you diss people's divas they gonnna diss your diva too at any given opportunity

congrats on being the one to bring Madonna into it. people wonder why Madonna has to brought into every discussion about any other female pop star, but I swear it's a 50/50 chance that it'll be a Madonna hater and not a Madonna fan that does it.

you realize that you CAN ignore insults. I came on to this thread to read about and see some Cyndi before and by post, what, 4? it's a Madonna thread already. but I wasn't surprised that it was you who brought her into it.

so again, congratulations on ruining your own thread.

midnightmover said:

This could have been a very good thread that spotlights Cyndi and her talent,but just like many of your other Cyndi threads,it has turned into an ugly,childish comparison thread.Graecophilo didn't mention Madonna at all.YOU did.You actually do a disservice to Cyndi,by mentioning a rival artist who is more popular.You've made this thread about Madonna.Are you happy?

and btw,I have nothing against Cyndi.I think she is talented.It's just a shame that so many of her fans are so bitter and angry about another female artist overshadowing her.

midnightmover said:

you posted a madonna video and asked something about 'is this talent'? i just pointed out that the woman you are raving about recorded 'girls just wanna have fun', i really dont see that song being any better than anything madonna has ever recorded. why would i hold a grudge against you because you dont like janet? dude i dont care who you like. your long speeches and attempts to sound intelligent will not make me stop being a janet fan.

And just what is wrong with Kim Wilde anyway?

midnightmover said:

One problem with your "theory":He didn't make any reference to Madonna,YOU DID.




This thread should be about Cyndi Lauper but as usual,you had to ruin it with your childish games and nonsense.If you really believe that Cyndi is super-talented,then why do you feel the need to even mention another artist (Madonna or anyone else)? Why make the thread about another artist? Why not just focus solely on Cyndi? You've played this game on other Cyndi Lauper threads in the past,and it always ends up this way,with your thread turning into a war zone.Surely Cyndi deserves better than that?





You could have taken the high road and just ignored him (if you truly believe he was baiting you).





Bullshit.I have never said anything negative about Cyndi Lauper.I have said repeatedly that I like her.I own the remastered 'She's So Unusual' CD.Unlike you,I can appreciate many different artists without the need to constantly compare them to each other.I don't need to put one artist down in order to make another artist look better.That's YOUR childish game.Notice that when I'm on a Madonna thread,I rarely ever mention any other artists.I don't mention Cyndi at all.Let's see if you get through your next Cyndi Lauper thread without dragging Madonna into it.




What's really pathetic is,the way you keep sabotaging your own threads.Like I said before,you're doing a terrible disservice to Cyndi.
