If you know me personally, we have probably had a conversation about how much I love Cher. I dream about her headdresses, am in awe of her weird vibrato, and love that she looks just like my mom (before having all that plastic surgery, of course). Cher’s different stages since going solo are crazy to think about. I don’t know another artist who has gone from hippie pop to gypsy to Cherokee pride to disco and been successful through it all. Needless to say, when I saw that she would be on The Voice as a guest mentor to Blake Shelton’s team, I made sure that my DVR was working. FYI: I had a major fan girl moment during this last week’s episodes every time she came on. I might have a problem.
“Dark Lady” is a song with a quality that always gets me in a gypsy mood. I can’t help but want to put bells on my feet, grow my hair to my waist, and dance around a fire in an embroidered skirt with fringe trim. It would be like that scene in Elizabethtown when Orlando Bloom is dancing in the forest, fist pumping in the air without a care in the world.
