| Cher's recording career
has long taken a back seat to her acting pursuits, but with Believe she's
back with a vengeance as a throbbing disco diva. |
As a singer, Cher's a terrific
actress. With her suspect pitch and piercing tone, she gives the impression
that she couldn't carry a tune if it were tattooed to her butt. Still,
she's revived her musical career almost as often as Sinatra did his, scoring
18 Top 10 hits since her mid-'60s days with Sonny Bono.
The retrospective If I Could
Turn Back Time arrives in the wake of Cher's No. 1 single "Believe." True
to its title, it walks through her early-'90s to late-'80s power-ballad
period ("Just Like Jesse James," "We All Sleep Alone") to her 1979 disco
hit "Take Me Home," the tragicomic concoctions "Half Breed" and "Gypsys,
Tramps, & Thieves" and, finally, the original "I Got You Babe." One
almost dreads asking: Can a box set be far behind?

Hits [MCA] Cher

|
| "Part of my mother is very
much the insider. The other part is the outsider.
But I never worry about her. She's survivor and a fighter. Whatever she
wants to do, she'll find a way to do it." --Chastity Bono |

Believe
- Cher
|
| Believe is erratic (and sometimes
cheesy) as hell, but you gotta love how her Cher-ness shines. A tour de
force that summons mid-'70s images of strobe-lighted dance floors, sequined
miniskirts, and writhing bodies. |
