bit harsh Nelson. It's the wrong way to deal with it but it must be a strange position to find yourself in suddenly. I'm still hoping she'll learn it only makes things worse.

tonights unconfirmed rumour - the album might have tracks called 'Dub on the track' and 'Blank pages' but don't shoot me if it hasn't. No idea what the album will be called yet tho.

Yeah I thought that as I typed it and was wondering if I should've used that choice of words, but I guess it was 'cause I commented right after seeing it. Either way I genuinely hope she learns not to respond to the haters soon, for her sake.

I take it you got those song titles from Twitter - seemingly the number 1 source for baseless speculation! Interesting anyway.

Cool. See what I did there? Good, wasn't it?

you got it. Completely baseless but you never know

Wow, the main forum is having a field day about Cheryl's departure lol. I think it's not true, but yanno'.

Also, Big fat gypsy wedding is apparently trying to convince Cher to do a mock episode for their finale. *Shrug* lol

Yeah I heard on Radio 1 that it hasn't been officially confirmed yet so it could yet be a publicity stunt or something. And I don't think Cher would do something like that, though I haven't actually watched the program tbh.

Anyway here's a picture that Cher uploaded earlier:

I think you'll all agree with me when I say: That is SICK! Love it.

Looks awesome, My bro wanted to audition for cher's video, but he was too younge, he's an amazing wee dancer.. maybe her next video lol then he can make friends with her, then i can be friends with her, then i will invite you all out for dinner so we can all be friends with her :L

OMG, CAN'T WAIT! Also, I haven't seen the show as well so that makes both of us.

Any rumors on when the single is out? D:

she'll not be on Big Fat GypsyWedding cos she's not a gypsy, she's not big, she's not fat, and she aint getting married, so they can eff off with that

still no date for the single...it's a long calm before the storm

Lmao, knowing Cher she'd probably showcase on it "Just for the lols".

little piece from popular English tabloid called The Sun, doesn't tell us much but there's a piccy

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG... EVERYDAY IS CLOSER TO WHEN I GET TO PLUG IN MY HEADPHONES AND HOPE I ENJOY THE SONG! (Which I hope I do lol).

Sorry, over excited there.

:yawn: slow news day, and iv'e not got any but someone has to post something

brave venture out onto the MF by Mozitski to advertise the single, we can now gauge a little of the sort of response it'll be getting...ah well. I'd got so used to the title i'd forgotten it seemed a bit crackers at first

Yeah when you think about it enough it can start to sound a bit daft, but hey, I think it's pretty cool. And don't take the opinions on this forum too seriously - if public opinion of Cher is anything like that of Cheryl, then it'll most likely be pretty disproportionate. But what the hey, let's see what's happened.

Lmao, I was bored and the appreciation thread wasn't helping Q_Q so I thought I'ma amuse myself and post an over-excited Cher Topic on MF and see what happens, Heh I didn't realize so many people didn't know the single's title. *Shrug*

alot of people aren't interested in her, which is fair enough, but it makes you wonder why the same people are so quick to throw their uninformed opinions about

anyhow, latest twitrumour - the album is all original material, no covers, so i hope nobody was hoping for 'Stay' or any of the XF stuff. I wasn't personally but some peeps prob were

cher was my fave last series, im really glad shes doing all new songs.

shes the only one i see getting lots of new fans and keeping the old ones.

Oh cool, I haven't seen you around before.

That's great news Joe, if I wanted to listen to 'Stay' again, I can pop over to youtube and just find the copy, heh? I'd rather hear interesting original music!

I know I'm going to sound like a noob but did Cher have any input in her new single, writing wise..

i think it's being credited as co-written, not sure what that means exactly. I'm not imagining she's capable of writing music at this stage so presumably some or all of the lyrics are hers.

I do remember Autumn replying to a Cher fan's tweet once and she said that Cher did have a part (didn't say how big so maybe a small part for now) in the writing. It makes sense that her writing role would grow in the future, say, for the second album. For example imo a few of Lady GaGa's tracks from her first album sounded a tad 'generic' I suppose (maybe not Bad Romance though ) but the tracks on her second album sound much more individual to me, if you know what I mean. I know it's probably pretty early to be comparing Cher to Lady GaGa but yeah, I reckon Cher's likely to find her feet as an artist more as time goes on.

It looks great! Thanks for sharing that image.

It works like this: Writer credits often reflect commercial rather than artistic matters. It not unusual for a big performing artist to take a co-writing credit on the songs they release even if they had no hand in the writing. Why? The publishing royalties are worth much more than the performing royalties - especially if the song becomes successful and gets covered by other artists.

So, in return for having their song performed by a big name, a songwriter will often give up some of the rights by sharing the credit. They'll usually agree these things in advance before the song's even written. How much each person really contributes is pretty irrelevant - they care more about it being a big hit.

In Cher's case I'm guessing you're right - she may be contributing some lyrics. But either way she's getting co-writing credits because (hopefully) she's got smart people looking after her interests.
