You knew I couldn’t not report on Cher coming out of retirement to perform at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and WoW was it impressive! We did a Hot Take video of the news leading up to her performance, and it has been one of our most viewed videos on YouTube to date.
Like we do every year, my family gathered around the TV to (albeit with my kid’s eyes glued to their phones) and watched the entire parade. When Cher came out we bumped her new song “DJ Play a Christmas Song”, which I’m pretty sure will become a holiday staple of radio stations and playlists every Christmas season.
In an interview with Billboard magazine Cher insists “They’re not ‘Christmas Christmas’ songs, OK? They’re just great songs. And I never say that because I almost never like what I do,” Cher told the publication. “But I mean, people love it and I’m happy. I’m so particular, but I love the songs and everyone who hears them loves them.”
“DJ Play a Christmas Song” is the 1st single off of Cher’s first holiday music album entitled “Christmas.”
At 77 years young Cher’s still got it! Although one can probably presume her doctors may have had a hand in her good looks. During her performance she danced and belted out her new song to a crowd who were eating it up. Even Public Enemy’s Flavor Flav was feeling it as he watched from the crowd (random, but ok then).
Next up for Cher will be a performance at NBC’s Christmas tree lighting at New York City’s Rockefeller Center on Thursday, November 30.
Hmmm, I wonder what song she’ll play. 😉
