At least she can sing.

You need at least 1 person in a singing competition who can actually sing. Mary is that person this year, the rest either can't sing or screech

Just as well coz she can't fcking move!

I don't see how anyone can knock Mary now after the two performances she's given. They've been fantastic.

Neither can Susan Boyle but she's done quite well. :thumbs:

Just managed to watch this. That is ridiculous. There's influencing then there's copying. Another nail in Chers coffin.

See, even my rhymes are better than hers. :spin:

Part freakshow, part MOR marketing.

I don't think her story is a measure of anything other than the power of youtube and global sensationalism.

She's a dull, batty old catwoman with a pleasnt but one dimensional voice. And Mary's a dull checkout woman with a big booming one dimensional voice.

But she aint got Susans publicity so it'll be back to checkout 13 for her.

That all depends on whether Mr Cowell can see any money in Mary. At the end of the day its up to him as to how well they all do.

Cher is a gimmick. Dainty little girl doing rap music; how novel. She's in the same boat as Wagner or Diva Fever or any of the other gimmicky acts, she relies entirely on her gimmick to get her through the live shows. Cher's a rubbish singer and hasn't got a creative bone in her body, just a keen sense for copying others. I mean the audition, she even does the "Woissup" that Keri Hilson does in that performance, she's literally copied her to the finest detail. It's ridiculous that Simon Cowell and co are heaping praise on her for being original when she is nothing of the sort. She's a gimp.

Well said Zee. :thumbs:

Just been listening to Boy in da Corner and noticed that Dizzee name checks Roll deep all thru the album. It fairly logical as he used to be a member. If Cher was serious about hip hop then surely she'd be a part of a crew/collective like Roll deep. We haven't heard anything about that so I have to conclude that she IS NOT which bring me to further conclude that this girl winging it. Winging it for sure, for real. And she's fooling so many people. Its all a bit sad really.

winging what? She's in the competition like everybody else and has to prove herself every week.

Nobody cares about whether she's part of any authentic crew or whatever youre on about.

You seem obsessed with her anyway! :joker:

ps; I don't see the likes of Tinie Tempah saying theyd work with the likes of Wagner or Diva fever so she certainly isnt in that category!

You said she's immersed in her genre. The fact that she cannot possibly be immersed is proved by the fact that she's almost certainly isnt not part of a crew. That is, if you dont know it, the best way to get noticed in hip hop.

You're the one who claimed she was credible I'm just showing that she is anything but credible.

I'm not obsessed but I am a hip hop fan and it disgusts me to see this girl watering a music genre that I love and people falling for it.

Ive never said anything about her credibility as a hardcore hip hop artist. She could certainly be an artist along the lines of Lady Sov, Eliza Doolittle or even Lily Allen. Not a stretch to imagine her making that kind of a record. Or doing a hook up with Tinie on a track. She's contemporary pop.

And when I say immersed I mean as a fan of hip hop/RnB. I don't mean she is a full artist herself but that she has a genuine love for that genre.

I don't think she has a love for the genre cuz, again, she'd have her own rhymes.

I've now firmly come to the conclusion that she's winging it. Trying her hand at hip hop and seeing how far she can get without any discernible talent. I don't think that should be applauded.

That much I can agree on; she definitely fits into that sound and it's quite clear she loves the music she performs; but it's outrageous for her to claim she wrote those lyrics or for the judges to pass her off as original, she's doing cover versions like everyone else, except they're glossing over that fact with her. I also think that by the time Cher (if she won) came out with her debut album, music will have moved on to a new sound.

I mean, I literally have no interest in the genre - sorry! - but yeah, it strikes me that the first thing you'd do would be to develop your own style in rapping, right? And she's just a bloody copycat. I'm sure it's frowned on in the same way that stealing jokes from other comedians is, right?

Crews go to war over it. Its a big no no.

It seems to me that the Cher supporters who shout the loudest either want to sh*g her, or are really young and impressionable. Talent and originality means everything if your career's going to have any measure of longevity. If you don't agree I'd really hate to swap your music collection with mine.

I don't think she meant she wrote those lyrics. I think she meant she took lyrics from another song and put them in there.

I think its acceptable to do a sort of 'interpretation' of lyrics. They allow it in rap battles.

Example:

Anyone who thought that Cher knew who Tiger Woods or Oprah Winfrey were needs their head looked at for brokenness

I 100% agree with this comment,saves me saying any more as to Cher.

X-Factor is one big rip off anyway:joker:.

All she needs now is a toilet seat round her face:joker:

I doesn't matter. She says she wrote her own lyrics when everything she sang barring the original Coldplay lyrics were pilfered from elsewhere so she can't have been talking about anything else, can she?

Love this.:joker::joker::joker:

We :love: Cher.

^What a creepy, ugly weirdo.

Shes hot. :love:

Cher is a liar and fraud?
 

Who is she trying to kid?

A liar, rubbish rapper and pulls stupid faces and wants to be cheryl cole 1.0.

Everytime she says shes done something herself, she's lied. The latest one was saying she came up with the idea sampling annie, when it was Jay z.

She's a vile ho.

I really hate being one of those complainers but...

...there was an identical topic posted just a few days ago and still fresh and active right near the top of the list.

We all make mistakes but honestly an identical topic. Right there. Active.

i love how this video is still trending on youtube after a couple of days.

What a great post Livia:joker::joker::joker:

Zippy, you really have proven yourself to be completely and utterly deluded with your support of not only Cher, but also Corin in the summer.

Sort yourself out, because you're making yourself look silly. I was cringing at your earlier posts in this thread.

I really can't stand her. I don't think she sounds good when she does what she does...and I definitely do not like how she pretends she has wrote her own lyrics. Also there is NOTHING original about her whatsoever

She annoys me no end, and I cant for the life of me see how anyone can think she is actually good :conf:

Oh be quiet you pompous tool.

Its called opinion and preference.

And cringe away, honey. :xyxwave:

:joker::spin::joker::spin:

Cher certainly gets talked about a lot.. she must be doing something right.. Simon certainly thinks she has something and he's the one with the $$$$
