Cyndi on Helium

Well if you had ever wondered where that squeaky high pitched tone belonging to Cyndi Lauper came from – it is down to helium. The ‘Girl’s Just Wanna Have Fun’ singer was spotted backstage at the Hetrick-Martin benefit gala in New York last week sucking the voice distorting gas out of balloons.Hmmm. Should we feel like we have been disillusioned? Or do we not care enough? Yes, songs like Time After Time and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun will forever be in our memories due to their popularity at hen nights and birthday parties…but have you ever really heard the words “Cyndi Lauper has a fantastic singing voice”?

If you had you might be a bit upset that she cheats and uses helium. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure the woman has plenty of talent; I’m just not sure this revelation is something to get too excited about.

In the meantime Cyndi also upset her backing choir for the gig by introducing them as her “transgender choir”. One of the young singers fumed, “She keeps calling us transgender! We’re not f******g trannies!”

Oops Cyndi; careful what you say love.
