Cher - Believe

[straightorbroken]

09 The Power

What a song.

 

[Shirley]

the rest of it is just an I Will Survive re-write.

FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT

 

[Phoenix]

But an I Will Survive sample only improves a song, see also Robbie Williams "Supreme" and PCD's "Hush, Hush"

I must say, the Gina G reject Runaway can go up to an 8 from me, poor Cher gets quite wound up about it all and the stodgy beats would make Lara Fabian furious she didn't get there first.

The closing trio of Taxi Taxi, Love Is The Groove and Todd Terry tarting up of We All Sleep Alone is a stunning climax. I'll never forget squealing with no shame whilst in full drag make-up at her concert as the One By One/Taxi/Groove medley began with the Jr Vasquez drum beats.

 

[Diddy]

This is a bit old but I just saw it for the first time. Adam Lambert really is a bit slept on, I’d love for him to have some huge breakthrough.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I've just discovered a DISGUSTING demo from 1991

 

[straightorbroken]

I love it!

It's slightly The Beloved.

 

[funky]

I GET IT but I DON'T MUCH LIKE IT

Reminds me of FAT QUEENS ACTING OUT on NIGHTCLUB PODIUMS

There is THAT, to be fair. It's VERY MUCH of its TIME for many of us, I suppose...

...but BY GOD I love it. It still provokes a GENUINE RUSH to my loins when I hear it.

OH MY GOD I AM THAT FAT QUEEN

Can we please hold some space for this forgotten but clearly seminal moment in mopsy history.

 

[Joseph]

One of the most OVERPLAYED songs in history and nowhere near her best BUT a forever 10 none the less.

It must be a mistake if I gave this a 9. I've never not been obsessed by it.

Edit: oh it's the album. 9 is high, but the peaks absolutely soar.
