April 29, 2007: Please...D'you know...? There was always something awkward 'bout Cher....Con't know if it is that she looks like a man in drag, her image is so plastic or that her music had a peak and then never again. She should really stick to acting since she has a voice but doesn't know how to use it. In the music business ruled by Madonna there is no space for silly wanna-be's like Cher
