I ruined not one but two Thai food diners. A poetry project I\u2019ve been working on for over a year (over many years, actually) didn\u2019t work out. I was PMSing something awful and really swamped with work. Then Cher-fan <a href=\"https:\/\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/2007\/03\/if_this_is_what.html#comments\">Tyler informed me via comment<\/a> a few posts back that the new dance album <em>Forever Cher <\/em>was actually a tribute album by Dark Lady, a.k.a. Jimmy James. <\/p>\n<p>Ugh! Cher tributes are always low rent. Kate Bush or Sheryl Crow never rally to do re-interpretations of \u201cHalf Breed\u201d or \u201cWe All Sleep Alone.\u201d Although Sonny\u2019s 60s tunes have been covered a respectable amount of times \u2013 search iTunes and you may be surprised. But when it\u2019s Cher solo, we get completely unknown hacks. In other words, we\u2019ll never get a <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/series\/89638?ie=UTF8&amp;*Version*=1&amp;*entries*=0\">Pickin on Cher<\/a><\/em>. I would have been depressed to hell about the whole thing if it weren\u2019t for my many other problems. <\/p>\n<p>But damn it all, I\u2019m a complete-ist and must buy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Forever-Cher-Dark-Lady\/dp\/B0009XPAXK\/ref=sr_1_1\/002-0978459-7900051?ie=UTF8&amp;s=music&amp;qid=1175035167&amp;sr=1-1\">the overpriced CD anyway<\/a>. And you know what? It doesn\u2019t suck. It\u2019s actually\u2026fun. I\u2019d go as far as to say it\u2019s the best facsimile of modern Cher I\u2019ve yet heard. Jimmy\u2019s voice sounds remarkably like Cher\u2019s. In fact, you can almost forget. Did I just say that? That&#8217;s impossible, I know. The litmus test comes during \u201cWalking In Memphis\u201d when Jimmy tries to sing Beale Street. No one can sing \u201cten feet off of Beale\u201d like Cher.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s really interesting is the arrangements which are different enough to work on their own. Some creativity was brought to these impersonations. \u201cBang Bang\u201d and \u201cHalf Breed\u201d start the album nicely. If only the Farewell recreations had been so kitschy-fresh. \u201cTurn Back Time\u201d. . .well, what can you really do with TBT? I tell you it doesn\u2019t suck. In fact, these mixes make the Geffen-era tunes more palatable to me. Jimmy is infused with enough Cher-spirit to do free-form Cher singing, which takes this impersonation to the level of a real tribute. For this, props go to the creative producing and arranging by Keith Haarmeyer. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s my thinking on the differences between impersonations and tributes:<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><strong>Impersonator:<\/strong> Dresses like the band\/singer but sings or lip-syncs exactly like the records or live performances.<br \/><strong>Cover band:<\/strong> May or may not dress like the band\/singer but plays\/sings exactly like the records or live performances.<br \/><strong>Tribute:<\/strong> Plays\/sings similar to records or live performances but infuses songs with something new, an original spin on arrangements or something of one\u2019s own personality. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The sex switch:<\/strong> Mistress of the Dark is a tribute band in my mind because these gals don\u2019t just dress like Black Sabbath but they re-interpret Black Sabbath songs as a girl band; whereas most male impersonators just dress\/act\/lip-sync like their celebrity. They suppress themselves beneath the celebrity persona. Dark Lady is an impersonator\/cover artist bordering on tribute due to the originality of the arrangements and Jimmy&#8217;s phrasing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Dance remakes <em>by the original artists<\/em> walk a fine line. You have to infuse the song with some punch without messing up the basic pathos of the piece. Don\u2019t make a sad song too happy, in other words, just because I\u2019m dancin!<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t sure this fake Cher would be able to hold my attention over two CDs. Unless it\u2019s a funny remix of a golden oldie (somebody please remix \u201cWhere Do You Go!\u201d), I\u2019m not a big dance-mix fan. I mean how many ways can you stretch out \u201cThe Music\u2019s No Good Without You\u201d or \u201cWhen The Money\u2019s Gone?\u201d After a while, the stretch marks start to show. And I don\u2019t like the \u201cbeat off to eternity\u201d that most dance songs end with. It feels like extra fabric left over.<\/p>\n<p>The first tracks are better than the later ones. \u201cSong for the Lonely\u201d sounds a little awkward but I loved the bridge. The voice-box effect on \u201cBelieve\u201d is a little irritating and Jimmy seems to find the Cher falsetto in \u201cOne by One\u201d harder to sing. Maddeningly, you still can\u2019t understand what the washed-out sounding back-ups are singing in the intro of that song. Will some backup singer (or computer programmer) please come forward and resolve this decade-old mystery for us?<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t finished the second disc yet, which mainly contains all the same songs on disc one but revamped as \u201cReturn to the Five and Dime\u201d remixes by DJ Ross Alexander. Oh and they all run together on disc two which makes for one supercalifragilistic Cher party! Alexander also includes \u201cLove and Understanding\u201d and \u201cThe Shoop Shoop Song\u201d on disc two. If he can make these two stinkers sound good, God bless him.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, this disappointing product purchase turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I hope my next attempt at Thai cooking will do the same.<br \/>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a really miserable week last week.
