I can see what Cher's doing and I respect that, because while it's not particularly fresh in terms of what I/we know of black music, it is fresh for middle-England and if her auditions make it more Ok for undiluted Hiphop-infuenced performers to do well and get airplay in the Uk then that can only be a good thing. I also feel that if more acts refused to dilute themselves for the show then the producers then have to make sure the song choices reflect them on the live show...., because it would be a piss-take if an act like Cher mads the show then was forced to perform the stereotypical Whitney, Christina pop-ballad-stuff when she's clearly not on that. We'll have to just see how relevant/current the songs chosen for her are as the bulk of stuff that would suit her is in the chart now, not what was in the charts 5 years ago like usual -Britney week anyone?! that's not Cher's swag, nor should it be.
