Toni Braxton "Another Sad Love Song"

"Another Sad Love Song" played that March morning in 1998 when Toni Braxton walked onto the set of The Oprah Winfrey Show.  Braxton was on the show to discuss, among other things, her bankruptcy.  Having sold more than 20 million albums, no one could comprehend Braxton's money woes...including Oprah.  Oprah questioned Braxton's spending habits and accountability (Oprah couldn't comprehend why Braxton needed Gucci silverware).  During Braxton's Behind the Music episode on VH-1, Braxton discussed her interview with Oprah and claimed Oprah was "so frickin' mean" to her and the interview caused people to look down on her.  If you have a spare 18 minutes, take a look and see if Oprah was "so frickin' mean" or just showing her some tough love.  I'm gonna side with Oprah on this one...

Cher - "Love & Understanding"

During the taping of one of VH-1's Behind The Music series, Cher said that after a nuclear holocaust the only things that would remain would be cockroaches and Cher.  It's hard to believe that in 1991, Cher was releasing her 20th album.  Her "Love Hurts" album gave us the hits "Save Up All Your Years", "The Shoop Shoop Song", and "Love & Understanding."  The latter sounded like it came from the soundtrack of an epic Hollywood blockbuster with its heavy melodies and strings.  The song climbed to #3 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Chart, but now only gets played on Cher's numerous farewell tours.
