I FEEL HITLER IN THESE STREETS1

I'M DONE.
The Bette & Joan of their generation
I choose violence.

Cher is a legend.

The amount of botox and plastic in one picture - amazing
but all jokes aside - I think they are great.

Amazing, 2 legends coming together.

She peaked on the 80s as a singer and as an actress, she was not much known on the 60s, she did covers of hit songs with Sonny.
Dumb as f_ck.
Cher actually peaked in 1998 with "Believe." The success she had in the 60s and the success she experienced in the 80s is pretty similar.
You're so ignorant.
The new emoticons are

So, so ignorant. But this is nothing new from you.
Learn what Wikipedia is and make use of it.
Ice cold. I roll my eyes at you.

Exactly, and like I wrote earlier she clearly paved the way for Madonna.
Reinvention, flamboyant pe5b4rforming style, sexual empowerment, costume changes-these were things already done by Cher.
Madonna's real influence is in pop culture, but musically she has never ever been groundbreaking.

That's not true at all. She was huge in the late 60s and 70s with Sonny in music and TV. Sonny wrote most of her famous songs too, which ones were covers? She was the original artist on nearly all her big hits. She had a comeback in the 80s/90s.
Do you ever know what you're talking about?

Cher peaked several times in her career. That doesn't make her an 80's star. She's a 60's girl. Madonna peaked in the 90's but she's still known as an 80's legend

Well, you certainly can't disagree with the fact that Madonna was clearly not the first female pop star/artist to re-invent herself many times, perform/dress flamboyantly, or sing about sexuality.
I will say that her influence in pop culture and exploring sexual themes in music video could be seen as groundbreaking with the latter perhaps because of the fact that MTV did not exist before the early 1980s. Nevertheless, her use of sex appeal in music videos are highly influential and so is her business acumen.
But musically, she is not groundbreaking. That's an impossibility.

I love Cher but agree to disagree

Shes the original original pop star yes, even before Madonna.
If Madge is the Queen of Pop, then Cher is the undisputed Goddess. Her first album All I Really Want to Do debuted in 1965, more than 15 years before Madonna and her 80s peers like Cyndi Lauper, Janet Jackson, and Paula Abdul. Chers theatrical videos, sexual exploration, and controversial performance style was unprecedented in the pop space at the time. By default, she quite literally laid the groundwork for Madge and Jackson to make paths for Britney Spears, Beyonc, and todays pop stars.

Ehh not really.. Debbie, Chrissie and David did though. Cher wasn't outspoken until later in her career

Let's be clear, Cher clearly paved the way for Madonna.

She peaked on the 80s as a singer and as an actress, she was not much known on the 60s, she did covers of hit songs with Sonny.
"I feel you, pretty baby, feel me
Turn it up hot, lovin' you is free"

Cher is not an 80's pop star. She's from the 60's

Legends, if Cyndi was there we would have the top 3 80s female popstars there.
