Cyndi Lauper on We Are the World, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour & New Documentary

[@patnorrad1964]

Cyndi Lauper means a lot to me. She was my daughter's FAVORITE singer, especially the "Girls just want to have fun song." My daughter was 10 yrs old at the time. Sadly my daughter passed away suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 33yrs. When I hear Cyndi Lauper sing, I close my eyes and remember the fun-fun times that I had watching my daughter dance around and pretend to sing like Cyndi. thank you Jimmy Kimmel for having Cyndi on your show this evening, enjoyed it very much.

[@cynthiarosiek4098]

I played Girls Just Wanna Have Fun to my 8-year old daughter last year. It's now her favorite song. She loves the video. We sing it out loud every time we're in the car!

Hello. Good afternoon. My name is Brian López. Yeah, my favorite Cyndi Lauper song is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Its music video accompaniment has plenty of visual effects.

Cyndi’s vocal part in We Are The World is certainly the highlight of the song!

“Time After Time “ never gets old. One of the most beautiful pop songs of all time.

[@drewjacobs1990]

[@Ernie1978]

Cyndi Lauper is my favourite part of "We Are the World." She has such a brilliant catalog and deserves all the love in the world. "True Colors," "My First Night Without You," and "Who Let in the Rain" are three songs worth your time! Go, Cyndi! ❤

[@EinsteinsHair]

Loved how she would do someone else's song better than them. Roy Orbison had a wonderful voice, but Lauper's "I Drove All Night" was the best. And that time she was in Central Park and did the Beatles "Strawberry Fields Forever!"

[@zaksmith4523]

80's Ladies are the best!!!!!!

Her mindset is everything. When you live like you're not bound by anyone's expectations, just being kind and real , it sets the tone for everything. She's really cool. I love it.

[@Peppers19781978]

That music video turns 39 today, June 6th 1985. BTW Cyndi hated the song. She stopped performing it for 17 years and it finally returned to her setlist in 2004 thankfully. One of her best.

[@Peppers19781978]

@@mm369 She did and from 1987-2004 stopped performing it but has performed it ever since. I think she has changed her opinion on it. Even at shows she has had clips from the video playing onstage when she performed it. Hopefully it still remains in her farewell tour setlist.

I'm 51, and grew up not caring about what people thought of me because of artists like Cyndi. I'm 51, and I still dress how I want to dress. Wear my hair the way I want, and my makeup according to how I feel that day. Be yourself unapologetically. Own your look, and walk with confidence anywhere you go. Fashion is so hilarious that people will soon be wearing your look, anyway. I'm a rocker chick, too. My hair is still down to my tail bone at 51. I'm judged for my hair being so long for my age. Do you know what I did? I grew it longer. 😂

[@nomadsouldrmr]

She didn't explain (I think on purpose) why the documentary was named "Let the Canary Sing". Blue Angel's manager and contract owner sued her for big $ and the only way out for her was to declare bankruptcy; the judge granted the bankruptcy so she could move on with her career by saying ... Let the Canary Sing.

"Girls Just Want To Have Fun" hit the radio when I was 10 years old. Wow, this gal sounded punchy, looked bold, and impressed me at a young age. I sang that song on the playground at school, it then followed me though years of growth, whims, experiments, and both good and bad life experiences. When I hear that song now (at age 51) I taste a few sweet kisses of that playground/childhood energy. I still enjoy (and sing along with) most of Cyndi's popular songs, and I look forward to seeing this farewell concert. I will probably cry some while there, but in a good way.
