20. Sunny (Chér, 1966)
“Upon discovering Cher singing “Sunny” (and other songs) she gives them a style all her own! I was impressed on how she delivered this song its almost as if she was singing about Sonny Bono! wow! what a tribute it would make!”
19. Alive Again (Living Proof, 2001)
“If you have not listened to this song – listen to it – strong vocals from Cher – as usual – great distinctive voice that should get more respect than it does – this woman has one of the most powerful voices as well as one of the most smooth voices – all around talent”
18. Dov’e L’amore (Believe, 1998)
“I adore this song. It’s a really exciting song that gets you pumping! This song is Unforgettable and my favorite. Cher old and without any complexes marked a real hit (another one in her career) for the new generations..”
17. All or Nothing (Believe, 1998)
“This was the first use of Autotune and Cher did it awesome. Unfortunately it gave rise to artists like T.Pain who built their whole career on Autotune. Now everyone seems to use it and it has flooded the industry with people who can’t sing and their producer uses it to manufacture a voice and sound.”

16. After All (Heart of Stone, 1989)
“Cher is clearly a very talented singer with a unique voice. I really enjoy this duet. I have heard it on the radio occasionally for years and was happy to find it available as a single to buy for my Kindle Fire. A nice romantic song.”
15. Song for the Lonely (Living Proof, 2001)
“Cher has reinvented herself throughout her career. I have seen her go from one extreme to the other and back. Her music has changed for the better over time. She has grown and matured, rocked everyone well and picked a few of us up off the ground. This is not only a feel good song, but it’s a song of hope and faith as well. She is saying that no matter what life hands you, you are not alone in this world. “
14. Take Me Home (Take Me Home, 1979)
“Cher’s voice has always been her most distinctive (and most easily lampooned) quality, but it’s also what’s allowed her to have such a long and genre-spanning career. Her voice, deep and powerful and marble-mouthed, isn’t a comfortable fit in any genre (with the possible exception of her 80s rock phase), but she still sounds perfectly at ease whatever she’s doing.”
13. Walking in Memphis (It’s a Man’s World, 1995)
“I love many songs from amazing Cher but “Walking in Memphis” is my personal favorite track. I love its sound, melody, lyrics. And the video was great”
12. Just Like Jesse James (Heart of Stone, 1989)
I love Cher and her music. Just Like Jesse James is the best song and I play it over and over again. Definitely one of my favorite songs of all time!
11. The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s In His Kiss) (Mermaids, 1990)
“Absolutely wonderful song. Cher is an awesome artist and this song is one of the most memorable tracks from her. Great for playing when you’re getting ready for a night out– loudly.”
10. Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) (The Sonny Side of Chér, 1966)
“This is one of the best songs ever written during human history. Up you go! It’s not weird at all that this became one of the greatest hits ever and it has been covered a lot of times”
9. You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me (Burlesque, 2010)
“Just the positive message. I just wish that I had the ability to have this as the official song of a walk that I have created – The Walk for Mental Health Awareness – Houston. It’s really a strong song & it has a very sweet message that if you’re down, you’ll get up again. It makes you not lose hope.”
8. Half-Breed (Half-Breed, 1973)
“This song was ahead of its time with the bi-racial theme and has a great melody. Interesting video of Cher dressed in Indian garb on a horse as she wails out the vocal. Catchy but powerful song and lyrics. Great vocals. A true Cher classic.”
7. Strong Enough (Believe, 1998)
“Strong Enough”‘s a great song, in my opinion better than believe. The beat and melody are much hotter and i just feel like stopping everything and dancing when i hear it!”

6. I Found Someone (Cher 1987)
“Perfect comeback song for Cher, who never needed to make a comeback this woman has been around almost 7 decades – she’s never been ‘gone’ this woman is a survivor and her mouth on this song proves it – EXCELLENT”
5. Dark Lady (Half-Breed 1973)
“A lot of people dismiss this period in Cher’s career, but she entertained people with this music–and that’s the whole point. It isn’t always about impressing critics. Even so, anyone who listens to songs like “Dark Lady” and “Train of Thought” can never honestly say that the lady cannot sing. She knows exactly how to make the most of her limited contralto range, and that’s what impresses ME the most about her. She puts it to superb use in the aforementioned songs.”
4. Save Up All Your Tears (Love Hurts, 1991)
“I love this song, even though its kinda cheesy, it reminds me of when I was little, I loved it, I used to annoy my parents playing it over and over!. lol! As for the meaning… I think its kinda obvious… She’s left someone and they don’t seem bothered, but she knows they’ll start to miss her and want her back.”
3. Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves (Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, 1971)
“Cher’s voice could cut through cement at this point in her career – also on this album is her cover of James Taylor’s Fire & Rain – listen to it – Cher’s voice on that track is silk her voice is that smooth on that cover – if she would have covered that song today the same way she’d be a heroine for ‘singing out of the box’ way ahead of her time – way ahead of her time”
2. If I Could Turn Back Time (Heart of Stone, 1989)
“Cher-my favorite-sings it so well. She has inspired so many people it is unbelievable. I really wish to meet Cher. This song speaks volumes to me. It has such a good message and I could listen to it over and over again. This song is great, not only it’s rock power but also the video it’s very cool.”
1. Believe (Believe, 1998)
“Believe is definitely one of my most favourites I remember when I was 7 years of age I remember seeing it on top of the pops. I wish more and more people will understand what a real Legend Cher is she is one of the best strongest female artists in all pop music Incredibly influential and a great actress as well Cher you are a Goddess never forget how amazing you are”
