Eternally grateful to Sonny Bono for seeing the potential in this gal, and giving us an icon. Cher has been around in one incarnation after the other for every decade of my life.

Cher is so adorable. She has a beautiful spirit

[FireAndLightning]

She's amazing! 70 years young and equally fantastic as 40 years ago. I can't believe she thought that about Turn Back Time!

Only Cher could do 2 takes and come out with “If I Could Turn Back Time”! She really is so amazing!!!

Cher's wry, laconic sense of humor is still just as sharp as ever. Love her comment on being cheered because she's not dead yet.

"Everyone's clapping cause I'm not dead". Oh I'm 28 and she looks better than a lot of these young girls running around, I'd take Cher to pound town.
