 Emotional Ride July 23, 2007
Martin A Hogan (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules))
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Cyndi Lauper pens most of her own tunes and she takes some of her best and rearranges them in somewhat pared down versions. Her 'less is more' approach works, mostly because it brings Lauper's great voice out to the forefront where it shines incredibly. A slower tempo on "Money Changes Everything" with Adam Lazzara, gives an entirely new feeling to the song. Its slightly more serious and less pop. Her 'duet' with Sarah McLachlan on "Time After Time" is emotionally satisfying with perfect pacing. "Sisters Of Avalon" is an emotional 'anthem-like' ride that almost seems like a fight for feminism. Lauper's timeless "True Colors" brings a lump to your throat with her earnest angst and honesty. And just when you're all emotionally spent, "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" springs upon you like a fuel injected slumber party. Its all good.
Time After Time... April 24, 2006

Cyndi Lauper's latest version of greatest hits/ prime cuts nostalgia features Ms Lauper (and her very many special guests) emoting to a pared-down acoustic background.
br /The hits come thick and fast and some seminal eighties tunes are more affecting in their basic format; Lauper having always had a curiously-touching voice.
br /"Time After Time" "True Colours" and other 1980s staples unite with her 1990s back catalogue and some of her more sparse hits from the 00s.
br /Once more successful than her arch-nemesis Madonna, Cyndi Lauper' s voice now has a deeper note and she seems to have lost her familiar "cartoony" squeeks. None-the-worse for that since ,with Whitney Houston, Cyndi had the definite voice of the 1980s.
br /Now 54, she looks amazingly youthful in the videos. Ms Lauper was originally one of MTVs biggest video icons.
br /Time has been kind to Cyndi Lauper; less kind to Madonna.
br /Her beautiful voice accompanied by Lauper playing the Dulcimer and Guitar has a haunting beauty .Time Afetr time must be one of the most recorded ballads.
br /Grammy-winner Cyndi, is back where she belongs and back with a vengeance.
br /She, her band and assorted guest artistes also seem to enjoy their craft 1
br /I know that we, the listeners do too.
br /We do not see (or hear) nearly enough of the very wonderful Cyndi Lauper and it would be nice, if a younger audence got to listen to and like her particular brand of M-U-S-I-C ...
Amazing renditions of the hits and 2 two top new tunes! March 4, 2006

Finally the whole of the UK gets a chance to hear brThe Body Acoustic, which was released in the US in Oct #x27;05. brThis is Cyndi#x27;s reinterpretation of some of her biggest hits(5 from her huge debut album #x27;She#x27;s So Unusual#x27;), overlooked gems and 2 gorgeous new ballads Above the Clouds and I#x27;ll Be Your River.brThe quality of this recording is fantastic and it very much has the feel of a live recording with masses of spontaneity.brCyndi teams up with some of her musician friends including Sarah Mclachlan, Jeff Beck, Ani DiFranco and Shaggy to produce an album that breathes new life into some great songs and showcases Cyndi#x27;s extensive vocal range. Good to see some of Cyndi#x27;s overlooked yet fantastic songs included here e.g Fearless from the #x27;Sisters of Avalon#x27; album and Shine and Water#x27;s Edge from the album #x27;SHINE#x27;(the latter feat Sarah McLachlan) brA MUST purchase for anyone remotely interested in Cyndi and for music lovers in general. The only reason I didn#x27;t give 5 stars is that i#x27;d like to have seen Change of Heart from the True Colors album added, along with a couple of songs from A Night To Remember and Hat Full of Stars. brOther highlights include Time After Time with Sarah Mclachlan, All Through the Night with Shaggy and (my personal favourite)a rousing Money Changes Everything with Adam LazzarabrThis album deserves to be HUGE. Buy it NOW!
She#x27;s so Unusual! March 20, 2006
Ran Tan (London)
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
Cyndi Lauper, the underestimated 80s Pop-Princess with an edge, finally returns with a collection of acoustic versions of her hits. The "stripped" style of this album is slightly disconcerting at first, particularly if you remember these tracks the first time round. However, the simplicity of production actually makes the beauty of Cyndi#x27;s vocal and the accomplishment of the songwriting more apparent than it ever has been. Afterall, this is the woman that had vied for chart success with Madonna once upon a decade. She was the Christina Aguilera to Madonna#x27;s Britney. In the chart battle Ms Lauper ultimatly lost, but what #x27;The Body Acoustic#x27; is testament to is that, unlike Madonna, this woman can actually write and sing! And boy can she sing! pAs well as all the old favourites (with a difference) there are a couple of great new tracks and some brilliant guest vocals (Sarah Mclachlan, Ani Di Franco, Vivian Green, Shaggy, Jeff Beck, Adam Lazzara, Puffy Ami Yumi). This is a fab album from an amazing artist. Don#x27;t go away again!
