Cher the moment
Daisy Kay
Divas, don't you just love 'em? The oldies are far superior to the younger wannabes. Diana Ross towers over J.Lo while Cher, the queen of sequins, leaves Britney Spears running back to her momma.
Famous for the number of drag queens that idolise her, Cher flashed her derrière more provocatively than Kylie and Beyonce have had microbiotic meals.
And now the old gal is back in Glasgow, of all places, for her Final Farewell world tour.
"Cher, 58 next Thursday, not only squeezed into a sequin-perfect replica of the spangly black lace hanky she wore when winning her Best Actress Oscar for Moonstruck 17 years ago, but looked pretty great in it," The Daily Telegraph says.
"When she vowed that 'After the nuclear holocaust, there'll be thingyroaches left and there'll be Cher,' it's possible that she was making a statement of intent as much as a joke."
But more than 8,000 fans were 'wowed' by her endless costume changes and a sweaty routine of camp classics spanning an amazing 40 years.
By all accounts, Cher kicked ass and is more than happy to let the generation following her know who is boss.
"Christina, J.Lo... all I've got to say to them is: follow this, you b**ches!"
Yee-hah!
Behind the glitterball that is Cher, a giant screen flashed through her career, from her Sonny and Cher days to her performances in Silkwood and Mask.
"The complexity and frequency of the singer's costume changes meant that the appearance of a song was as welcome as a slice of pepperoni on a under-topped pizza," the paper comments.
She may still want to Turn Back Time, judging by her wrinkle-free face and body, but Cher will always manage to out-live the younger divas, simply because she refuses to live in the present.
