Cher

Cher (/ˈʃɛər/; born Cherilyn Sarkisian on May 20, 1946) is an American singer and actress. Described as embodying female autonomy in a male-dominated industry, she is known for her distinctive contralto singing voice and for having worked in numerous areas of entertainment, as well as adopting a variety of styles and appearances during her five-decade-long career, which has led to her being nicknamed the Goddess of Pop.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband-wife duo Sonny & Cher after their song "I Got You Babe" reached number one on the American and British charts. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)". She became a television personality in the 1970s with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She emerged as a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping singles "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves", "Half-Breed", and "Dark Lady". After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher launched a comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 198082 residency show in Las Vegas.

    Plot

    Cherilyn "Cher" Horowitz is a good-natured but superficial girl who is attractive, popular, and extremely wealthy. A few months shy of her sixteenth birthday, she has risen to the top of the high school social scene. She lives in a Beverly Hills mansion with her father Mel, a ferocious $500-an-hour litigator; her mother died from a freak accident during a routine liposuction procedure when Cher was a baby. Cher's best friend is Dionne Davenport, who is also rich, pretty, and hip, and understands what it's like to be envied. Though Dionne has a long-term relationship with popular student Murray, Cher claims that it is a pointless endeavor.

    You Will Never Be

    by: Julia Sheer

    How did we ever come to this?
    I never thought you'd be
    Someone I'd have to miss
    And there I was,
    Caught in your game.
    Needing answers
    That never came
    So we took a chance
    You said you were strong
    Strong enough
    But you were wrong
    And now I'm...
    CHORUS:
    Deafened by your silence
    blinded by the tears
    if you're looking for forgiveness
    you won't find that here
    cause you lied your way to heartbreak
    and now its all too clear
    that you will never be....
    Look at her
    she won't ever compare
    you can say you're sorry
    but I still don't care
    was she worth this mess
    was she worth this pain
    you can say it's her fault
    but you're both to blame
    And now I'm ....
    Deafened by your silence
    blinded by the tears
    if you're looking for forgiveness
    you won't find that here
    cause you lied your way to heartbreak
    and now its all too clear
    that you will never be....
    Looking back it was all so easy
    I hope you know you're my last mistake
    Don't come around and say you need me
    I won't stay
    Now I know that you were so deceiving
    was it fun for you to walk away
    I hope you liked it
    cause she's so damn easy
    you won't change
    Deafened by your silence
    blinded by the tears
    if you're looking for forgiveness
    you won't find that here
    cause you lied your way to heartbreak
    and now its all too clear
    that you will never be....
