Midi: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For


CHER OPENING CONCERT PIC 6/99

HERE'S MY QUICK CHER REVIEW FROM HER WOODLANDS, TEXAS CONCERT
...remember its just my opinion ;)

It was the BEST concert I've seen in a long long time. The opening warm-ups sucked - Wild Orchid has no stage appeal and Cyndi Lauper had technical problems all night...(Wild Orchid performed 20 minutes, Cyndi 40 minutes) But CHER ... well now THAT was a different story! I am going to write up my own in depth "review" some time but here's a quickie version:

  • Extremely polished and perfected show - excellent choreography - - as a dance teacher I was very very impressed with the talent of her backup dancers - their performance was flawless and so in sync (and I don't give those high praises often!) Cher took stage at 9:30 and was finished at 11pm - it was action packed with non-stop movement on stage even when she was off making a costume change...We were entertained with clips of movies, S&C show, videos and the dancers.

  • The Mackie costuming was wonderful as expected. Cher was much more moderately dressed these days - she left the 'flesh' showing to her younger dancers who were outfitted by Mackie also to coordinate with Cher's outfits. She changed costumes at least 6 times and wigs each time also. I cannot tell you what my favorite song was - but she commented that she knows that Walking in Memphis is not very popular but it was one of her favorite videos to make .. and she commented that Jesse James was NOT her favorite song because there are so many words - but she launched into it anyway!

  • I think my fav. costume was probably the encore - Believe - the outfit was white, very glitzy and Cher-ish ...

  • Bottom line - It was THE concert of my life as she has been my idol for SO long - I never dreamed I'd get to attend her concert and to have it be the BEST I've been to (maybe I'm prejudiced!) makes it all the better! She could have had NO stage set sang solo or with a band & I would have been in heaven!

    Thanks for letting me "CHER" my views! ~Ella~
