Cyndi Lauper could release Mary Had A Little Lamb and you know it would still be brilliant!

I love Cyndi, but that last dance thing she released was just god-awful.

....but the world goes 'round

Wasn't my cup of tea, but it had some decent songs on it. It's cool that she is covering so many different genres--she's a truly diverse artist.

"Memphis Blues is a disappointment because it doesn't play to Lauper's considerable strengths. She remains a vocalist of phenomenal depth and power, but she sounds lost in this material and in these arrangements. Her out-of-control, sloppy performance of "Just Your Fool" on the finale of Celebrity Apprentice was an unfortunate harbinger. Lauper has deserved a mainstream comeback for some time now, but Memphis Blues is unlikely to be the album to make that happen."

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I adore Cyn and have no desire to pigeon-hole her, but I don't care for Memphis Blues and I've listened several times. I also hated Brink Ya To the Brink, except for Into The Night.

It just doesn't resonate for me at all, but I love that she is experimenting in new realms.

Can she please just release another rock album? She needs to show off her voice while she still has it! I haven't downloaded the album yet and I'm not really in any hurry to either... :-/
