#FALLON: WATCH CHRISTINA AGUILERA IMITATE BRITNEY SPEARS ON “THE TONIGHT SHOW”
I have ALWAYS loved Christina Aguilera, but this is just amazing! In addition to treating some incredibly-lucky Fans at Starbucks Rockefeller Centre to free Coffees, Selfies and Autographs last week, she’s promoting her return to NBC‘s The Voice with a bang. Aguilera just appeared on THE TONIGHT SHOW with Jimmy Fallon and always out to get us clicking “share”, Fallon had Aguilera play WHEEL OF MUSICAL IMPRESSIONS. You’ll never guess who she had to imitate!!
Just watch:
That was epic! I wonder what Britney is thinking…. Although they totally are Friends. She wouldn’t mind… right? RIGHT??
Aguilera is working with Pharrell on her eighth Album and comes fresh off a Grammy Win for her Collabo with A Great Big World on Say Something.

#SPOTTED: ELLA HENDERSON IN TORONTO FOR DEBUT ALBUM “CHAPTER ONE”
18-year-old singing sensation Ella Henderson made huge waves internationally in 2012 with a stunning cover of Cher‘s Believe, which had even the timeless Diva herself taking to Twitter to endorse the then-Contestant on The X Factor UK.
The buzz continued to build with the likes of Adele, Lily Allen and Stephen Fry professing their love for her and although ultimately jaws dropped when she didn’t win, Henderson gets the final say topping the charts with Ryan Tedder-penned Ghost, her debut Single. Her debut Disc Chapter One also would see similar success and now the vintage fashion-obsessed Songstress has her sights set stateside where she continues to gain airplay.
Henderson made a rare visit to Toronto today after a visit for Press in New York earlier this week. Although she was under the weather, she still did interviews at Rogers’ Headquarters including a sit-down on The Erin & Mike Show at CHFI. Unfortunately, a scheduled live performance on-air had to be withdrawn as she battles illness.
The lovely Henderson and I had a friendly exchange, her Publicist kind enough to introduce us. After seeing little Billy, her face lit up saying, “Oh! He looks so much like Trixie!”, referring to her own Shih-Poo back home.
If you haven’t yet experienced the phenomenal vocals of Henderson, you may do so by enjoying her new Single Ghost below:

#SPOTTED: CHER IN TORONTO FOR “DRESSED TO KILL” TOUR
If she could turn back time, you probably would notice she really hasn’t aged. It has always been a life dream of mine to see Cher in-concert and after kicking myself for missing her Farewell Tour, it is as if the gods opened up the clouds from the heavens and shined a light upon me, giving me one last chance to see her finally on this current round, the Dressed to Kill (D2K) Tour. I really wasn’t planning on going anywhere tonight other than to stay at home resting, but a Guardian Angel made it all possible for me.
Rather than making this an incoherent Post of “gaa“s, “OMG“s and happy sobbing ad nauseum, I will contain my composure for a quick moment to tell you that at age 67, Cher certainly still has got it. Her vocals were powerful and she certainly can still pack a punchline judging by the Audience’s reactions to her foul-mouthed quick wit. Physically, she professes she still can fit into that famous Bob Mackie-designed Outfit immortalized for randy Sailors of future generations to fantasize about in 1989’s If I Could Turn Back Time Video.
Cher‘s Career is nothing short of legendary. She is the only Artist ever to accomplish the feat of a number one Billboard Song in six consecutive decades. “I’ve given then Assh*les the best years of my life and all I get is a 6-pack of Dr. Pepper!”, she jokes. “I’m never coming back, I promise. This is my farewell, farewell, absolutely no doubt-never-going-to-happen-again Tour!” she says, fully aware of the jokes that have circulated about her last Tour allegedly being her last ever. Low and behold, she’s back and she’s more than able, so why the heck not?
Focussing more on newer material tonight including her 2013 Disc Closer to the Truth and selections from 2010’s cult-adored, but critically-panned Burlesque, Cher entertained a packed house at Air Canada Centre with a mixture of Hits, bridged together with prolonged musical interludes, bordering a bit on the ridiculous in terms of wait times. She did however, wow us costume change upon costume change and not many could say it wasn’t worth the wait!
She floated in air like a Saint blessing the Audience with her well wishes. She pumped-us-up in neon with a spirited rendition of Believe. She wowed us in her original If I Could Turn Back Time outfit, which had her Fans hopelessly enthused. Cher even delivered a Tribute to her late Ex-Husband Sonny Bono with I Got You Babe, surely a Song she’d probably rather never have to perform again.
The Oscar Winner started punctually and delivered almost two hours’ worth of eye-popping delight, understanding fully what her Fans expect and could ever want, leaving little to the imagination why they wouldn’t return for another Farewell, Farewell, Farewell Tour. And did I mention Rock Legend Pat Benatar opened the Show? Zipping through a Catalogue of Classics, she had the Audience amped-up in no time as she too prepares for a Summer Tour which will land in these parts.
On a side note, Cher rolled-into Toronto on Sunday from Connecticut, having a low-key weekend in Toronto, remaining at her five-star Hotel most of her stay.

#DWTS: CHER AND ELIZABETH BERKLEY ON “DANCING WITH THE STARS”
Things just got super-emotional up in here! CHER was Guest Judge on ABC‘s Dancing with the Stars last night and in addition to a Performance of I Hope You Find It, originally recorded by Miley Cyrus, she was just WOW! with her deliberations. So entertaining and at times delightfully incohesive, including some praise for Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Saved by the Bell‘s Elizabeth Berkley which included the longest bleep-out ever. I am giddy as hell as a massive Fan of the campy Thriller Showgirls and of course Living Legend herself, CHER!
Although I couldn’t find it online anywhere there was one deliberation during the Show where CHER was in a complete daze when it came time to her announcing her score, and she in a confused stated blurted out “CHER!” when she meant to say “9!”.
See CHER and Berkley here:
This of course is a bit of a Full-Circle moment as not too long ago CHER was cheering on her now-Son Chaz Bono, who was a Contestant on the 13th Season of Series and he was seen in the Audience cheering for his Mother after her Performance.
If you haven’t had a chance to check-out CHER‘s amazing new Disc Closer to the Truth, then you must! Review here.

#NEWMUSIC: CHER TO PERFORM “WOMAN’S WORLD” ON SEASON FINALE OF “THE VOICE” & ALBUM RELEASE DATE
It’s about time! Cher finally is ready to launch her Comeback and she’s ready to do so with a live performance of her latest Single Woman’s World live on the Season Four Finale of NBC‘s The Voice. Although we heard the Single last November (listen here), it is officially getting a release next Tuesday, June 18, 2013.
Despite originally planning to release her 24th Studio Disc sooner, Cher recently announced that Warner Bros. had reschedule its release for September 24, 2013. P!nk, Lady Gaga, Jason Derülo, Timbaland and more are said to have contributed Tracks on the Disc.
Check-out the stunning Official Artwork for Woman’s World below:

#NEWMUSIC: CHER – “WOMAN’S WORLD”
How do you deny an Icon? I have loved Cher since time and always get a little excited to hear new Music from her. Always with-the-times, she beat-out the likes of Pirate Bay and Media Share Walls by leaking premiering her brand new Single Woman’s World first via her website to Fans who input their E-mail Addresses on her Database. Paul Oakenfold produces and he’s been rather quiet of late in the Mainstream since Madonna‘s Celebration.
Melodically this not Cher‘s strongest, but her legions of Gay Fans and empowered Women will have a hot, sweaty time on the Dancefloor with this. Curious to hear what else is on this forthcoming new Disc from Warner Music…
Download the Single guilt-free on Cher‘s Official Website here.

#NEWMUSIC: ELLA HENDERSON PERFORMS “BELIEVE” BY CHER ON “THE X FACTOR”
She’s been writing songs since she was 13 and was inspired to sing by her Grandpa Bill. Incredibly-talented 16-year-old Ella Henderson, a Contestant on The X Factor UK, has wowed Judges repeatedly on back-to-back appearances on the Reality Series – recently with an original Tune she wrote and now this mind-blowing Ballad Version of Cher‘s Believe.
Judge Nicole Scherzinger absolutely cannot stop crying and bit-o-grump Gary Barlow admits he’d pay lots of money to see her perform the Song live again. There is something remarkably Adele-esque about Henderson. Definitely one to keep an eye on; Scouts over at 19 Management/Syco/Sony Music would be throwing away a huge opportunity not consider developing her regardless of her future on the Series.
Although we know how Scherzinger and Barlow feel, no other Critique matters as much as that of Cher herself. See what the Legend herself had to say about Henderson:
