Another embarrassing affection I refuse to apologize for
I like many of Cher's songs.
Yes, I understand all the criticisms you can reasonably level at her, but I like quite a few of her pop hits, and I refuse to apologize for liking them.
Consider this one, for example.
Overdone? Silly? Needlessly sexy video? Yes. Yes. Yes.
I don't care. I love it.
And then this song, the very best cover of a great song.
I love the Marc Cohn original, but I also adore Cher's cover, which she makes her own. I even love that she plays the Elvis part.
Yes, you can reasonably call me shallow for liking Cher. I don't mind. When the music works for you, it works for you.
These--and many of her other songs--work for me.
