Summary: Thank you, "Incomparable fan" from Philly
Review: I could not have said it better. The comparison between Madonna and Cher continues because there are so many Madonna lovers who are jealous of Cher's overshadowing of their queen. I absolutely agree that Madonna may be big--but she can not (at this point in her career) ever reach the level of success that Cher has had. The only reason Madonna did so well in "Evita", is because "Evita" was basically a two-hour music video (not a major stretch for Madonna). Naturally, she did well--but could anyone see Madonna in any role that Cher has played in the past? Not hardly. And as for Madonna's children's books? Please. Let's not go down that road.

Actually, I DO like Madonna. But, I am growing tired of her superficial and hypocritcal antics. Cher is just plain Cher--always is, always was, and always will be. On the other hand, Madonna changes her persona with every new album. Who knows "who" Madonna really is? It would be nice to know that there is a REAL person under all of that attitude and narcissism. However, even though I am a fan of Madonna, I am not so blind as to be unable to see through her. The same thing cannot be said for most of her fans.

Until then, my advice to Madonna (and to Madonna fans), is to watch Cher, listen to Cher, and LEARN!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incomparable!
Review: The comparison of Cher and Madonna will go on forever. But the facts are what count! Madonna may be as successful as Cher musically (although hasn't been around long enough to see if she will keep having hits in the next two decades), but that is the only entertainment medium besides writing kids books (which anybody could write!) that she has succeeded in. It is a known fact that she is the worst film actress in the world and no one can deny that. She only received a Golden Globe for "Evita" because she sang the whole movie (no acting required!). The caliber that Cher is in is unreachable for Madonna. She has been around 20 years, made a lot movies, and if she hasn't done it by now - I don't see it happening. Oprah even stated that Madonna always has a facade up and never truly shows who she really is and Cher has always been Cher. The reason she has stayed on top for the past 40 years is because she hasn't cared what anyone else thinks about her! Where through publicity stunts Madonna and the Britney Spear's of the world obviously do care what the world thinks about them and after American Life - Madonna better keep looking for new ways to get attention, because she needs it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: P.S ROD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Let's set the record straight on "Divahood"
Review: This is in reply to the reviewer who likes Cher, but claims that Madonna put the "D" in Diva. My friend, you are obviously mis-informed. You are the kind of Madonna Fanatic who drives me crazy. Yes, Madonna has remained (relatively) mainstream for the last 20 years--although she has had to stoop below "sewer level" with her ridiculous antics in order to stay there. Cher is the one who paved the way for Madonna, and all the other Diva-wannabe's out there in music today. Cher was re-inventing herself TWO DECADES before anyone had even heard of Madonna. Yes, Cher has had her low years too, but she has always been able to bounce back without resorting to open-mouth kissing of the "teeny-bopper-du-jour" in order to jump-start interest in her career. Even with Cher's relatively subdued (compared to Madonna) lifestyle, Cher has NEVER had a problem getting publicity.

I know it is hard to face for the many Madonna Fanatics who believe she is God. But, hate it as you may, the truth is: Cher is the one who led the way for Madonna to be the superstar she is today. I've said it before and I will say it again: I will be VERY interested to see, in another 20 years, if Madonna can keep her head above water and remain relevant for "40 frickin' years" like Cher has done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great show BUT!!!!
Review: I credited the limmted edition, at 5 stars, but to cut it short, You Cher MADONNA hater fans need to really back of Madonna. I like Cher, I stated once and I will state again Madonna put the (D) IN DIVA, No offense to cher or her die hard fans, but face it Madonna is just bigger than Cher. Its took 40 years with long gaps for cher to be where she at (NOW)since 1998. Since then she's been more popular than ever before. Madonna since 1983 has remained huge with out a dout. WHAT..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh My Cher!!!!!!!
Review: This is the ultimate dvd for any Cher fan of any age. i also have had the privelege to see it live. This is the best show in the world. Many extravagant costumes and the best music. Any must have for a die-hard Cehr fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: Cher is a great artist to watch, see, and to meet. Her personality just suits everyone who loves her music. I personally don't have the chance to go to any of her concerts. But the DVD did me proud. I tape the original on tv. I decided to get a DVD for the future.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!
Review: Anyone who does not think Cher is the true Diva of all time is thoroughly confused and misinformed. She paved the way for all the other wannabes....except she did it with class not crass like....ahem...Madonna, Britney etc. There is only ONE authentic diva and it is Cher. This is a brilliant overview of her career and shows her many faceted sides. A tender memory of "Sonny and Cher" included in it. This perfomance starts with Gayatri Mantra that, if you look it up....is the goddess of music and the arts etc, and tells of the link between all life (as does her song "A Different Kind Of Love Song",

MANTRA:
Aum Bhur Bhuva Svah
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
Dhiyo Yo Naha Prachodayat

O Lord, You are the protector of life and of breath, dispeller of miseries and bestower of happiness.
You are the creator and the most acceptable intelligence, possessing eternal qualities.
May Your qualities and Your inspiration pass to us.

This is truly a gift from Cher..but you have to research that mantra and see what else it says to see the connectedness to Cher and her life and this performance. It is not mentioned on the video...but being I have to know the purpose everything and what the relevanceis...I knew Cher was saying something to all of us so of course I looked it all up.

Awesome costumes , awesome dancers and performers...AWESOME PERFORMANCE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exactly like the live concert
Review: Very well done, excellent camera angles, very good sound quality...a must have for any Cher fan.
