Summary: Surviving DIVA.
Review: Cher has been singing for over 40 years and she did it very good and I think that she'll continue doing it. So in 2002 she decided to start what it was going to be her Farewell Tour.
This show is similar as her 2000 Believe Tour but with more production and quality (with this I'm not saying that it was bad, it was very good actually but this is way much better).
On this show you can see Cher performing all her hits plus others that were on the program but weren't added to the final cut of the concert that was recorded in the American Airlines Arena in Miami Beach. As every Cher show you'll see lots of costumes changing, specail effects, lots of dancers and all Cher's Extravaganza. She has been very clever doing it now that she can do it very good without showing weakness of any kind.
Some of the songs here are her #1's "Gypsies, tramps and thieves", "Dark lady", "Half-breed" and "Believe" plus her other hits like "If I could turn back time", "Just like Jesse James", "I found someone" and "Song for the lonely".
She covered once again as the opening number U2's "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" (which honestly sounds better on her).
And finally among the special features you'll find the new "If I could turn back time" video, 3 extra live songs, Cher's special version of West Side Story (not big deal) and behind the scenes.
Very good Cher you did it again.

Summary: CHER Eclipses Cleopatra, Nefertiti & Madonna
Review: CHER is, without a doubt, the most enduring, alluring, dazzling, sensationally stunning and incredible female entertainer of all time! Cher eclipses even Cleopatra and Nefertiti of their astounding imprints on history - you are totally captivated! EVERY major hit single, including 4 #1's in her native USA, are all songs nobody but CHER could have ever turned into the monumental hits she has produced...and rarily has anyone ever dared to "remake" a CHER song she so brilliantly defined in her own unique style. Not even Madonna could ever match the POWER and ENDURANCE of CHER's FIVE DECADE outstanding long career! Madonna may have more #1 singles, but, she has none of the artistic depth nor the stylistic vocal ability and no Academy Award to her credit. CHER is the quintessential female entertainer of all time in moderm pop music. FAREWELL TOUR dvd is total proof that people will continue to demand to see MORE of CHER in years to come, and a priceless concert show which belongs in every dvd-cd collection. She is not through yet!

Summary: The REAL concert was the opening act
Review: I was actually there in Miami for this taping. Cher put on quite a show. But it was that, a show. Perfectly orchestrated, Cirque du Soleil style. Very perfect and calculated and rehearsed, down to every line she said.But the real concert was the opening act, Cyndi Lauper. She sounded amazing combining her old-time hits with her new songs. Running through the audience and shaking hands with them, singing into people's cell phones. By the time she started hitting stratospheric high notes during extended rendition of "Money Changes Everything", everybody was on their feet, screaming in ecstasy.
What a concert! Who needs dancers and special effects when you have the best voice in Pop music, a kick-ass band and enough energy to electrify a stadium. BTW, she's taping her own concert on March 11 in NYC. I can't wait for that one to be released.www.cyndilauper.com Oh! and about the Madonna argument. Cher did have another #1 with "I Got You Babe". And Mariah Carey has 16 #1 hits which beat Madonna's 12. Diana Ross has 18 but twelve of those are credited to The Supremes. And as for sales in the US, Barbra Streissand is the number one seller with over 71.5 million albums sold beating Madonna's 60 million. Worldwide Madonna most likely is the winner, though.
Madonna is amazing for many reasons. You have to compare apples to apples. Cher has an Oscar to her name and hosted a top TV show for years. I don't think Madonna could ever do that.

Summary: Madonna vrs. Cher
Review: This DVD is entertaining and worth watching. Cher does look good and her voice is better than ever. I'm tired of people comparing Madonna to Cher. Madonna is a musical genius. She had sold more albums than Cher and is the most successful female artist of all time. She also has the most number 1 songs of any female star. Cher's songs have never reached number 1 with the exception of Believe. Madonna has conquered the world.

Summary: CHER DESERVES MORE THAN 5 STARS ! ! !
Review: Honestly I expected a different format from her las '99Believe Tour, but, who cares, CHER CAN DO WHATEVER SHE MIGHT WANT AT ANY TIME...This concert features some of her biggest hits, from her 5 decades carrer, from the 65's "All I Really Wanna Do, up to 2001's "Different Kind Of Love Song". One of the most attractive points on this concert are all her costumes, totally amazing.
Other cool thing are the sequences played during her costume changes, they rock! CHER looks totally gorgeous, her voice is extremely powerful, she's just the best.To tell the truth, CHER IS THE ONLY AND TRUE WORLD MUSIC DIVA...there's no option...Sorry Madonna.
CHER ROCKS AND RULES!!!!

Summary: Rod loves Cher and RICO
Review: Well, RICO, I guess you used spellcheck on your last entry. Actually, however, "no" I don't get your point. I certainly don't get the point that "Madonna rules". Maybe she rules you and all her other lambs--but not those of us who know better!

Summary: Another Cher Fan for RICO
Review: For my own understanding of all the points that Madonna defenders are trying to make, it would be helpful if they learned to write and spell in English--and to make a complete sentence and thought. This review page is dedicated to Cher's farewell tour, but many people continue to bash Cher and praise Madonna on it. To answer some of the questions that Rico claims cannot be answered, Madonna has sold millions and millions of albums all over the world because she is a marketing wizard. She latches onto the "sound du joir" and "producer du joir", and the world flocks to her sound--although it is refreshing to see the rejection of "American Life", which Madonna obviously gave zero thought in creating. Huge album sales do not make someone a diva, my friend. Album sales are a reflection of one thing: Madonna's ability to ride whatever is the "wave of the day". I've said it before: Cher is REAL. Madonna is....well, no one knows who she is because she is never genuine. She is always affected, always trying to push buttons and cause controversy--always trying to do "whatever" will keep her in the limelight. Cher has never had to resort to this desperation. She is true to herself and to her fans. That is something I am still waiting, after 20 years now, to see Madonna do.

Summary: CHER FAN>
Review: I love me some cher!!! AY AY Rod just except it man.. there is no jealousy here! atleast on my part. Overshadowing thats in your head. I admit Madonna is perfect in many things, But has made it and ART! even when she NOT perfect. WHO CARES whos been out longer or whatever, A proven fact is and for the last time ill say it. What chers has done in 40 years, YOU say should listen to cher I see only DRAG QUEEN'S have. Madonna has done it all in 10 years and continues on she may NOT BE PERFECT! so tell me why has madonna sold more 160 million albums alone still counting. and 88 million singles alone World wide? (from a source at WB) Now thats a DIVA, You cannot answer that can you ? Madonna's success is what MOST female artist today, even the 1 or 2 hit wonders, even males artist have been compared, has hoped or dreamed to REPLICATE Madonna music charts/sales and of course to remain as powerfull at what she does, And theres more to come from madonna. Thats why CHER is launching this Farewell tour cause Cher knows it herself madonna does it better. So there no jealousy here. its all true facts, thats all and you know it. love ya..

Summary: Very Entertaining
Review: Although I liked her show from 1999 a little bit more, which was very similar - this Farewell is really awesome and great. But I have one complaint: why didn't she do Europe to say here GoodBye? Thank the Stars above: Madonna is very often in Europe. That s a big comfort.
And Cher s right: its not Britney Spears etc. - its Kylie Minogue setting up as great Shows as Cher. Watch it!
