Cyndi Lauper

by **Dreams** » Thu May 21, 2009 11:20 pm

Don't feel bad, IT ISN'T THAT GOOD. It's where she really grew as a songwriter and a conceptual artist but a lot of the songs are more than dreary and lack any sort of real MELODY.

I do very much like these songs off of HFOS:

"Who Let in the Rain?"
"Sally's Pigeons"
"Like I Used to"
"Hat Full of Stars"

the rest ranges from quite poor to just average.

In fact the "Who Let in the Rain?" b-side entitled "COLD" is better than half of the songs on the album....

1 True Colors
2 Hat Full Of Stars
3 She's So Unusual
4 A Night To Remember
5 The Body Acoustic
6 Bring Ya To The Brink
7 Sisters Of Avalon
8 Blue Angel
9 Shine
10 At Last

I really love 'Hat Full Of Stars', definitely one of her best! That's What I Think is probably my favourite Cyndi single. But you're right, Cold is better than most of the songs on the album :lol:

I Also love the Twelve Deadly Cyns....and then some Album with the 3 new tracks when it came out, Her highest ranking album position in the UK at No 2.

Cyndi Has been going 25 Years this year since GJWHF was Released I was hopeing that she would be celebrating that! There is another greatest hits album out next month in the uk Cyndi Lauper Gold: True Colors. Hope that is not the milestone album!

Another GH?! Wooo! :lol:

by **Dreams** » Mon May 25, 2009 5:58 pm

I wish they would just release a second PROPER greatest hits and not these cheap, budget GH that don't ever go anywhere.

I think something like this would do well if promoted and given support by the label:

poor Cyndi. Is that some sort of immune reaction to something or a sunburn?

by **DaBoi** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:39 pm

That's an awful photo but it's not such a big deal she just had a chemical peel and she's not allowed to put any make-up on for a little while.

I love Cyndi but some of the comments I read elsewhere were hilarious. Someone said she looked like their dead grandmother... the way she looks NOW :lol:

I wish Cyndi would return to her pop and/or dance roots. Not feeling the love for her jazz album. She is amazing, still producing music since her fantastic debut in 1983!

Great article about Cyndi touring in Australia.

She needs to bring a tour to the UK.

Never saw that photo until now.

Well I've been listening a lot to Bring Ya to The Brink (2008) lately. She needs to do another pop album. Memphis Blues is ok. But not what we want from Cyndi.

by **Wayne** » Tue Dec 20, 2011 12:36 am

Bring Ya To The Brink is an outstanding record.

I hope Cyndi's better now...

I just saw The Goonies for the first time since I was a little boy today (I did some babysitting) and it re-ignited the love I had for Cyndi's music.

What's your top five favorite songs from Cyndi...

by **Wayne** » Tue Dec 20, 2011 12:53 am

1. I'm Gonna Be Strong
2. Into The Nightlife
3. Same Ol' Story
4. Echo
5. True Colours

by **NothingFails** » Tue Dec 20, 2011 2:41 am

1. Time After Time
2. When You Were Mine (IMO she owns the song not Prince, I know its an unpopular opinion, but I like his version too, but she makes the song epic)
3. I Drove All Night
4. Change Of Heart
5. You Don't Know

by **Brad** » Tue Dec 20, 2011 6:02 am

1. I'm Gonna Be Strong
2. Rain On Me
3. Echo
4. Shine
5. Who Let In The Rain

Hard to choose, I'd really need a top 15.

She Bop
Change Of Heart
Girls
Time After Time
World Is Stone
