I remember this song well, while it's sad on subject matter, Cher did a great job. Thanks for the memories.
I liked her gypsies tramps & thieves a lot better.
Cher...a beautiful talented singer with a strong and unique voice. I believe all singing artists as they gain popularity will eventually sing of their trials and tribulations.
Cher's ancestry is complicated! She is half Armenian on her father's side, and a multitude of European backgrounds on her mom's side!
This song reminds me of Paul Revere and The Raiders song Cherokee Nation! This is a very powerful song that talks about racism and bullying!
We are all brothers and sisters people! Don't take it for granted because it may get taken away! Take care you all!
I always thought Cher's "Gypsies tramps & thieves" was autobiographical.😅🤣😂
Yet she pretends to be Native American for the song. Her mind is complicated.
@@rslambert1 When it comes to realizing the context of the times, you fail miserably. Back then Hollywood had caucasians playing the role of Indians in the movies, and society didn't bat an eyelash. Another example, Bing Crosby donning blackface in the movie Holiday Inn (1942).
I suggest in the future, before passing judgement, you take in account what the times were before spouting off.
@@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time It’s true she didn’t write the song. It would be kind of weird if she did.
She brought awareness to how stupid the times were in those days. Anyone who is mixed /biracial should always hold their head up high your as good as anyone. Thank goodness the time's have changed
The times have changed, just not enough
@@scottchapin2323 unfortunately you're right 🥺
Have they really changed. To me it seems as though they've injected more equations into the problem of division.
@@an.american Education is color blind??
Class and wealth is color blind??
The division is political not genetics 🧬🤔
Greed separates people!!!!!!!!!!
Tax the rich and feed the poor.."Alvin Lee"
She brought drama, where there wasn’t any. She isn’t even Native American. She is Eastern European, with different European Ancestries. She pretended to be Native American, and loves to play a victim, when she has had a life of plenty. Also Married into a so call “devil seed”. Anything for money, even faking your Ancestry.
This is very relevant for our times. When you think of how poorly we have treated indigenous people to this day, it is difficult not to recognize the point she is bringing up. She was from Southern California,and she certainly hasn´t suffered as the indigenous people have, but her bringing up this issue was certainly important.
Used to get teased, being called half-breed in school, when this song came out in the 70's. My mother had jet black hair, dark brown eyes, and olive complexion and looked native american indian, although she was an European mix including Greek, Italian, and Basque. I had my mothers black hair, but had greenish-grey eyes (not brown) growing up, so schoolmates whom seen me, then see my mother, and assume by looks alone I am part Native American Indian.
I was born with jet black hair with blue eyes and I am Native American too
It's it not amazing from then to now .
It’s a great show piece of her voice as you say her voice was unmistakable. It’s very well displayed in this song. I agree it’s bearable because she’s singing it. Your not afraid to be honest on your channel which makes you unique as well. God Bless you !! 🙏🏻✝️❤️
Call us what ever you want . We are proud of our heritage ✊🏽🪶
1970-1973 Indian culture was on the front burner in America. The book Bury my heart at Wounded Knee was a bestseller & banned in some places, Marlon Brando sent Sacheen Littlefeather to the Oscars to receive his Oscar that he refused for The Godfather, & this was a hit for Cher
FINALLY!!!!! A reaction where someone doesn't gush about how much they loved a song and how great it was. VERY refreshing to hear someone say they just didn't care for a song. Thank you so much for being honest. Me, I kinda felt the same way since the song came out.
I love her eighties phase but her cover song Dark lady from the 70s is amazing!
This...was...1975
Funny I am surprised u didn't like it. Kind of catchy and great vocals. Tells an interesting story too but to each his and her own. I used to play this on repeat as a kid!!
Cher sings a beautiful duet with Peter Cetera called "After All" from the 1989 film "Chances Are" which starred Cybil Shepherd, Ryan O'Neal and an early performance from Robert Downey Jr. It's a really cute film that is worth a watch. Cher's biggest song and my favorite from her is "Believe" from 1999 which is an awesome and really fun dance song.
Its definitely ok that you didnt care for this song. What exactly was it though that you didnt care for????
That video is from a TV show that added that flame sound and imagery in the beginning, there is no such sound in the original song, so that's a little annoying. I always like this song and Cher's voice is powerful. I will only add that the horse and costume is a bit over the top, but Cher had the body to pull it off. I'll leave it there. :)
Someone older in my family had this record. I was born loving music at a very young age found this record. Loved the intro/drums and beat. And I do have to respect your honesty. ✨
👏🏻👏🏻😃 She is a complete star, round artist! 🌹🌹🌹
I love this song. So many people from my area have native American heritage. Love Cher.
This is Awesome and Timeless in it's subject matter
I guess it's to be expected of today's generation not to appreciate the complete storyline of such a POWERFUL Song when you see what they consider to be talent ....can anyone say Rihanna's "sex with me or her song work work work. That's what is considered to be a a good song.😢 Shout out to CHER
I love this song and for me, it's the other way around. My mother married a Cherokee , My dad
I loved this when I was a kid! Still got the 45!! lol
Her "Gypsies tramps & thieves" is a lot better.
It's a very important song as a half breed some people expect you and some really don't....
Beats anything out there by a country mile that's for sure.
Love it cause I love Cher
But what did you think about the song's message? Was it something you knew about, or was it new to you? Times are somewhat improved now, so it may be something new to you.
I agree. I thought I would like it more. Cher's voice, angry lyrics but I could hear this once a decade and it does not grab you.
Her biggest song was 'Believe'. 7 weeks at #1, up for best song of '98.
I have to agree with you....this song doesn't do anything for me. I'd much rather hear "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves." The key change at the start of the third verse is epic.
Love an honest reaction. The song meant a lot to me when it first came out (i thought Cher might be biracial). Years later I saw the video and never felt the same about the song
Wow, this is one of her four or five biggest hits going all the way to #1. I'm really surprised as you are in the minority.
Although Cher was far from being a 'half breed', she did bring awareness
Don't apologize if you didn't like it. It's not one of those songs that capture people's attention decades later.
I was 10 when this came out. I just remember use loving Sonny and Cher and this song. There was a lot of Native American (called Indians during that time) themed songs, movies and commercials back in the 70s.
Mildred...she's wrong on this. She's taking the subject too negativite...and some songs grow on you.
This song is about the true story of Cher's mother.
It looked like you were concentrating on the lyrics which is not a bad. Thought you might not like it because you weren't dancing.
You gave an honest opinion, and that's how you felt about it. That's ok.
As a older person 65 its important to understand the time and political need for entertainers to step out and address what was a real problem of the era. The song writer chose Cherokee but could have any mix because that point in history it was frowned on from both and truely rejected by both families. America 40-50 yrs later has evolved to the point this likely is such a non issue the song has no meaning. But at the time it did . I tell my daughter before judging the past try watching old shows to get insight as to the cultural norms . Watch andy griffin(sheriff) teach Obey a little boy how to fight a bully . Today thats not how we teach . Just a example
I DIdn't care for it when it came out...As a half-Black /half Japanese I was getting called that already--didn't need to hear it on the radio too! (sigh). But my dad was ex-Airborne Ranger- my mom, a brown belt in Akido..They knew from thier own marraige it was gonna be rough for me, so they taught me well..Haters got lessons free. Now hearing the song again ..Well, maybe it was just something that needed to be sang/said at the time.
Good lord makes me feel like I'm at hogwarts talking to Hagrid about pure bloods. Cogswaller I say. Ant no thing such as a pure bloods, so sing it loud Cher.
I'm with you on this one Angela..its very repetitive and a bit preachy although when it was released I can imagine it caused discussion on the subject which would have been good..can you phrase review Criticise by Alexander O'Neill and Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls..🇬🇧💞🙏✝️👍👏🇺🇸
Have you heard Mean Mary singing "Iron Horse" ?
It's understandable not to vibe with the song .
I on the other hand completely understand it and the message it convey.
I too have been in her place of not wanted by either side of my two races in a time when multi racial was not acceptable.
It's a song that touches on a forgotten form of racism mix races.
Unfortunately people still only see with their eyes the dominant pigment on the outside and not the two or more cultures that reside inside.
Perhaps one day we will all be judged by what's inside each one of us and not the packaging we are wrap in .
Thank you for your reaction to halfbreed .
She always was georgous, i am rather glad she changed her singing style though. She used to dwell on that nasal tone, now she doesn't, she sounds so much better.
It's a song of it's time. Wait and see how uncomfortable we'll feel fifty years from now about the things that are popular now when we look back at these things we're applauding right now. BTW the lyrics got it backwards. Cherokee's are matrilineal, meaning if the mother is Cherokee, the children are considered full Cherokee. I think that's pretty much true of all the Native American tribes. (You'd think they'd have bothered to check)
Still waiting for you to listen to Sweet Life by Paul Davis. Keep Smiling ✌️
The lyrics are enough to give a Liberal a heart attack !
Being from a county in Oklahoma where almost everyone was a halfbreed, I never cared for the song.
It wasn’t one of her best songs but I love Cher’s music
Unfortunately terms like that were still being used a bit then. By having Cher sing it, the song points out how stupid that was.
Hole, Celebrity Skin
Here's a good choice for Friday night, these girls rock. I like Cher but she sounded flat tonight. Thanks Angela.
It's good you don't go nuts for every song. Constant praise is insincere praise.
It was standard part of her show where she would always appear half undressed, something to keep the men viewers always interested. 😆😅🤣😂
Swedish group 'Blue Swede' made a cover of this song right after Cher's version came out; in my (maybe biased) opinion their version is far better than the original. ruclips.net/video/GTvI9fvcsMI/видео.html The following year the band had a worldwide megahit with 'Hooked in a Feeling'.
Angela, I think you're wrong on this. It will catch on. I think you might have thot of the darkness of the song.,.I mean this was maybe no. 1. And I think you're in the real low minority that doesn't care for the song. So remember to go for who the artist is and the quality of the voice. And the words are life...this not so good life now
While the song was originally meant to shine light on the unfair, societal derision that mixed-race people face day-to-day, Cher's rendition (not to mention the feathery getup she'd wear when she performed it) hasn't aged well. The cultural appropriation, widely accepted back in the early 70's, doesn't hold up well against today's racial awareness.
Never grabbed me either Angela. Cher claimed to be 1/16th Cherokee at the time. Of course that was just fake showbusiness hype.
The song was more about the message.
listen to vincent by don mclean
......this song is an example of racial appropriation. Cher is not American Indian, she is Armenian. She is wearing a stereotypical 'sexy Native woman' Hollywood fantasy outfit and made a lot of bux for herself and her label, etc..... 🤠
No problem about not being crazy about the song. Melody-wise, it's nothing special. I'd have liked your take on the lyrics, though, since they're clearly distinctive and personal to her.
Interesting belly. Patient horse. Unhappy reactor. Thumbs up, for the belly.
Dark lady, just like Jesse James, heart of stone, turn back time....good ones to check out
Not sure she could get away with this today. it isn't true at all. her dad is Armenian and her mother does have some Cherokee blood in her, but not much at all.
U check out many many soungs u arnt going to like them all i always yry to guess if song is phone worthy
Ok?
Ya'll ain't gonna like this. Squaw means where
Watching your reaction, it seemed that it made you very uncomfortable. Both the lyrics and visually.
Yeah. I understand the Statement of this. But not a particularly well Structured tune! Doesn't really Grab you, and make you care! Thank Heavens for LED ZEPPELIN, Who were BIG at this time.
Typical Cher tune from that era. I remember Rolling Stone magazine giving it the “worst lyrics of the year” award.
Can NOT even stand Cher....she got too political. She's wayyyyy overrated. IMHO
I'm not going to argue with you there...just wish musicians and actors would stay the hell out of politics. Now sports is politicised. I haven't watched TV for 8 years now, so it's no longer an issue, but I do know what's going on in the world. Cheers!
@@gigantor62 I haven't watched ANY news since the 2020 selection. I research...
Cher’s great but that song sucks. Love you though!
it hit number 1 in billboard charts though....
The song lyrics are too repetitive.
The video imagery is demeaning.
The song title is offensive.
Better this "song" is forgotten.
Blah! Blah! Blah! Go listen to Adele the most vapid wretch on the planet along with that marketed waste of skin Billie Eilish.
@@rocco... I don't listen to either of that crap they call "singing".
@@athos1974 😁👍
Don't forget when this was made. People weren't as easily offended by everything back then like they are now. Native Americans may have been and rightfully so. I was 10 when this song came out and I don't recall any negative feedback from it. Many songs are repetitive so I'm not sure why it being repetitive was any mentioned.
