Blind Item #11 - Mr. X
While this one named permanent A+++ list entertainer keeps saying she'll never retire, she is going to scale back her workload over the next year or so. Yes she's got a new album ready to be released, but I'm hearing whispers that the arena tour that will accompany the album might be her last one and she'll only be doing smaller venues after that.
Madonna?
ReplyDeleteOr Beyoncé maybe
DeleteGod I hope it’s Beyonce. Over priced tickets for a show she and her husband headline in a venue he owns. Glad I didn’t pay to see her, but she does put on a good show.
DeleteCher?
ReplyDeleteI will never ever forgive Cher for that fucking AWFUL "Believe" song that started all this autotune CRAP.
ReplyDeleteDitto!
Delete😂 I admit with all embarrassed honesty that I loved it! I was only 14 though 😊
DeleteHahaha! True..! My hubby worked on that music clip
DeleteCher???
ReplyDeleteCher
ReplyDelete*might* is doing the heavy lifting here, I think
ReplyDelete@parissucksliterally: Too bad you can't turn back time!
ReplyDelete@Florin....hahahahaha :)
ReplyDeleteCher is the KWEEN of plastic surgery too.
ReplyDeleteCher or Madonna
ReplyDeleteEither way, I’m ready to see a queen in person.
Her Las Vegas residency is consistently sold out.
ReplyDeleteCher?- That creepy pedophile? No fucking way. Just go away.
ReplyDeleteCher
ReplyDeleteIf Cher or Madonna is "permanent A+++", then this is not the planet I want to live on.
ReplyDelete@Little Miss Sunshine, thank you!! They should get together and call their tour, "Hags-R-Us".
DeleteOh gawd, is Cher really "permanent A+++ list" ? I'm not saying one can't be permanent A list with only sh!tty music in their catalog, but that's a lot of pluses.
ReplyDelete+1 Chase, that was a creepy blind
Madonna would never accept playing smaller venues. This is Cher.
ReplyDeleteMadonna has an album coming out and Cher said she'll release an album of ABBA covers after that god awful Mama Mia sequel. This could be either one. I'll go with Aretha.

ReplyDelete@paris, yeah I guess she's in that barbra streisand category.
ReplyDelete@parissucksliterally - is that you in your avatar pic between Paris and Nicky and their ex-maid?
ReplyDeleteIf it is Cher, she has been going on farewell tours since the 1990s or so (I remember when Believe was supposed to be buh-bye). Does that ever stop or is it like the entertainment business version of the always going out of business sale certain retailers hold?
ReplyDeleteI will believe she has retired when there are no more recordings, albums, tour dates, etc.
I really thought you had to be a Kennedy to be A+++.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen extreme grade inflation in the past couple months. Cher or Madonna are A+, I'll give them that. But A+++? NO.
Cher is not A+++
ReplyDeleteThat's just silly.
A Believe and autotune question was on Who Wants to be a Millionaire today
ReplyDeleteThis is Barbara Steisand. Its an album if unusual duets. Melissa McCarthy for one. Shes using YouTube to tease. Her son sings in one. She looks drained even with her face full if filler.
ReplyDeleteHope this is Barbara Streisand. I would love to see her in concert.
ReplyDeleteNo, LittleMissSunshine, that is Casey Johnson.
ReplyDeleteThis photo has been referred to as Mount Rushwhore. ;)
In today's reveal Michael Jackson is A++ no way are Cher or Madonna more important than MJ. (although it is prob one of them for this blind)
ReplyDeleteMount Rushwhore .. lol!
ReplyDeleteNot Barbara Streisand because the BI says one-named singer.
I think some people refer to her as just "Barbara", don't they?
DeleteBabs is often what they tag her with.A close friend of my dad's worked with her a couple of times on movie sets. He said, "if you ever hear about what a raging bitch she can be, "double that".

ReplyDeleteCher is A+++? Then, even though you all have never heard of me, I'm A+.
ReplyDeleteI saw Streisands most recent concert on tv. Sheesh either I need a hearing aid or her voice has gone.
ReplyDeleteIt hardly matters who this is about, "permanent A+++" is just rampant grade inflation.

ReplyDeleteIts Cher, she is releasing a album full of ABBA songs.
ReplyDeleteCher....the queen.
ReplyDeleteHow is Cher NOT A+++? Yall crack me up.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget,Cher is also an ex of Geffen.
ReplyDeleteCher has a new album coming out - it’s of ABBA covers. She announced it today.
ReplyDeleteCher is not A+++ because her material has always sucked (and now abba of all people) and her voice sounds like a squished toad.
ReplyDeleteYou may not like Cher, but the woman has a Grammy, an Emmy, a Tony AND an Oscar. She's an entertainment giant for decades running. A++++? Yep. No question about it.
ReplyDeleteCher’s not an EGOT. She’s got 3, but no Tony.

ReplyDeleteAnyone who thinks Cher introduced auto-tune wasn't listening to Shania Twain a few years earlier in the '90s. I'm sure she was nowhere near the first to use it, but she made it famous, trust. Maybe Cher made it mandatory.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, the inflation in the A+ grade ratings is fair to me here, especially for Madonna. Considering how much faster "stars" shine and burnout nowadays, as well as how many more stars there are hogging headlines, often times for no legitimate reason or for possessing mediocre talent at best, Madonna and even Chers longevity is looking pretty fucking impressive nowadays.
ReplyDeleteWow, four people in this thread don't know her name is (rather famously) spelled "Barbra"! OK, go ahead, blame autocorrect.
ReplyDeleteCher
ReplyDelete@autotune - Cher was the first major singer to use it as an effect that you could hear. The producer wanted it to sound like that. Everybody before used to hide its use as much as they could.
ReplyDeleteIts Sade
ReplyDeleteAuto tune has been around for decades, cher was not the first by a ,long stretch. Thank god Madge is is scaling back, her last few albums have been rubbish.
ReplyDeleteCher is the Elton John of female performers/entertainers. She has earned and deserves A+++ (Doesn't mean she is a God or has best vocals.... but, she is in a category of her own. Beyonce will never be as relevant to entertainment as Cher....) NEVER!!
