Cyndi Lauper: Live...At Last Video 2004
I grew up listening to Cyndi and still have several of her albums. Everyone must evolve, and in many ways, Cyndi has evolved for the better. However, there is a major problem with this album. A few classic songs are executed very well by Cyndi, sung straightforwardly. On the other hand, some tracks are experimental and distort the original feel with extra warbling and la-di-dah. For the ones that aren't distorted and are classics, you find yourself saying, “Now who sings that?” instead of listening to Cyndi. In “Walk on by,” someone is making raspy sounds on the drum loud enough to make you stop and check for a flat tire.
She will challenge, and maybe even best, the original with “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.” I am proud that she can sing in English, even if the title is in French. And there is a pamphlet that explains her strange mix of songs on this album.
