It's weird that so many of the songs I truly loathe turn out to be written by her.... Graham 23:17, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I share your loathing, but I don't think it's weird at all. Bonalaw 20:26, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

"On her latest, Cher is reunited with the first lady of pop banality Diane Warren (who penned "If I Could Turn Back Time"). On "Body to Body, Heart to Heart," Cher sings about how she could drown in her lover's eyes and die in her lover's arms. If she's not careful, she will suffocate in Warren's drivel. Warren's quasi- erotic images are more silly than sexy here, especially when Cher coos, "I don't know where I end/Not sure where you start/When we're body to body, heart to heart."

"On the female empowerment tune, "When You Walk Away" (also written by Warren), Cher refuses to give you the right to make her cry. While she's strong enough to walk away from a bad situation, Cher proves once again that she is willing to dive head-first into a bad song. Warren's throwaway melodrama and the song's slickly produced but edgeless arrangement fail to capitalized on Cher's strong-willed, sultry persona." Craig Semon (2002, March 17). Cher still has the voice, offers `Living Proof' :[ALL Edition]. Telegram & Gazette,p. L2. Retrieved October 15, 2007, from Massachusetts Newsstand database.
