Cyndi Lauper means a lot to me. She was my daughter's FAVORITE singer, especially the "Girls just want to have fun song." My daughter was 10 yrs old at the time. Sadly my daughter passed away suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 33yrs. When I hear Cyndi Lauper sing, I close my eyes and remember the fun-fun times that I had watching my daughter dance around and pretend to sing like Cyndi. thank you Jimmy Kimmel for having Cyndi on your show this evening, enjoyed it very much.

Cyndi rocked the Johnny Carson show in her early days. A true stand out and unique star! It's good to see her doing well.
I didn’t realize it until halfway through the interview that I was smiling. I love interviews that make me smile. Cyndi was and still is so uplifting. She is the true essence of fun. 🎉
Cyndi Lauper is my favourite part of "We Are the World." She has such a brilliant catalog and deserves all the love in the world. "True Colors," "My First Night Without You," and "Who Let in the Rain" are three songs worth your time! Go, Cyndi! ❤

Loved how she would do someone else's song better than them. Roy Orbison had a wonderful voice, but Lauper's "I Drove All Night" was the best. And that time she was in Central Park and did the Beatles "Strawberry Fields Forever!"
What a legend!!!! her music, her presence, her energy, everything is top level. And how come she looks the same if not better? ❤
Cyndi’s vocal part in We Are The World is certainly the highlight of the song!
“Time After Time “ never gets old. One of the most beautiful pop songs of all time.
80's Ladies are the best!!!!!!
I went to Cher's farewell tour years ago and Cyndi opened the show. She came right into the audience up a side aisle where I was sitting. I still remember that moment!
You would never ever say that Cyndi Lauper is almost 71 years old ! She looks like she is in her late 30s to early 40s ! Absolutely stunning !!! 💯😘🥰😊👍👌
Nearly 71 years old. She's still *beautiful* 😍
Been jamming to her and enjoying her music for decades. She looks like nothing more than a 38-year-old wannabee teenager, just phenomenal!

I'm 51, and grew up not caring about what people thought of me because of artists like Cyndi. I'm 51, and I still dress how I want to dress. Wear my hair the way I want, and my makeup according to how I feel that day. Be yourself unapologetically. Own your look, and walk with confidence anywhere you go. Fashion is so hilarious that people will soon be wearing your look, anyway. I'm a rocker chick, too. My hair is still down to my tail bone at 51. I'm judged for my hair being so long for my age. Do you know what I did? I grew it longer. 😂

She didn't explain (I think on purpose) why the documentary was named "Let the Canary Sing". Blue Angel's manager and contract owner sued her for big $ and the only way out for her was to declare bankruptcy; the judge granted the bankruptcy so she could move on with her career by saying ... Let the Canary Sing.
Cyndi you definitely are an icon that deserves all the respect! I used to love her look back in the day she was so cool!
I lived in downtown Minneapolis in 1984 and Cyndi Lauper was on fire with her music! Omg absolutely love you Cyndi, best of 80’s music! Thanks for your music…and you absolute nailed it in We Are The World!!! ♥️😘

There is no one like her. Truly a one of a kind!!!
I was walking around the supermarket the other day and they were playing Time After Time on the sound system~that song makes me cry every time, "... The second hand unwinds, if you're lost you can look...." Sigh!
I love that "girl just wanna have fun" a lot, her face still looks like before when she was young, not that much change. that's good.
💜 Everything about her !
One of the best live performers! She would go right up in the stadium’s & sing going throgh the crowd & even talk to people a bit. She has always just been ready to share her talents & herwonderful personality & opinions to. She is a dynamite entertainer❤💜💖💘🩷❤️❤️💓💘
I LOVE Cindy to pieces! She's been my uplifting support for decades! God bless her! Can't wait to see her in concert and have a fantastic time as the girls wanna have fun!
I'm 62 and therefore fortunate enough to have witnessed Cyndi Lauper come onto the music scene and become incredibly popular. I love her music and I have a ton of respect for her and others too who felt comfortable enough or courageous enough to just be themselves.
Her mindset is everything. When you live like you're not bound by anyone's expectations, just being kind and real , it sets the tone for everything. She's really cool. I love it.
Love ya Jimmy!

We used to go see Blue Angel at the Meadowbrook in NJ. Years later I saw her in concert and still to this day it was the absolute best concert I've ever seen. And I've been to many concerts back in the day, the Stones, Bob Marley, Bonnie Raitt etc. Her voice is amazingly powerful.
I still can't believe I'm gonna see her in September ❤ I bought the tickets to Rock in Rio before I knew she was doing a farewell tour, I just had a feeling this would be my only chance to see her perform live.

The most cringeworthy thing you can say about a woman. We don't say that about men. Why? Because the presumption is that mature woman=not attractive, and yet society claims men get more attractive with age.
Hard to believe she's 70! Her skin is incredible!
Saw her 11 years ago at the Warner Theatre in D.C. First time I saw her in concert and she was amazing!! She told stories in between her songs and it was just fabulous. When she first came out, many had their phones up, recording. She stopped singing and said, "Look; if I let you record me for this first song, would you then please put your f*cking phones away?". Everyone laughed and just as she asked, the rest of the concert, 99.9% of the people put their phones away.
I graduated in 1986! Cyndi lauper was on of my faves as a teen. We watched her on mtv all summer! This is when mtv first came out! Love her still
