Pop icon is currently performing as part of her farewell tour. Cyndi Lauper’s fans have defended the pop-rock singer after a clip of a recent performance went viral, as she continues on the final tour of her career. The footage, which was shared by a user on X/Twitter, showed the Grammy-winning star, 71, singing her 1985 hit “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough” and dancing enthusiastically while wearing a metallic silver outfit.
“Wtf happened to Cyndi Lauper?” they asked. Fans immediately jumped to the singer’s defence. “She dropped multiple hits, made many albums, aged, and had a career that resulted in a fanbase that she’s still performing for decades later,” wrote music critic and internet personality Anthony Fantano.
“Will you be able to do the same? Does being a dumba** on Twitter see the same longevity?”. “Dude, she’s 71 years old,” another fan agreed. “I hope I’m hopping around like that at 71.”. Another chimed in: “She’s had a great career. She loves what she’s doing. Why’d you all always gotta be negative?”.
“I think she looks frikkin amazing, and she sounds pretty good,” one fan wrote. Another remarked: “It’s Cyndi Lauper, whose career and talent has earned her the right to a classier response than mere misogyny and ageism.”. Lauper rose to fame in the early Eighties, when she became the first woman in history to achieve four top-five singles from a debut album.
