Cyndi Lauper Has a Helium Habit
December 4th, 2007 by Evil Beet
Oh, aging is such a sad process.
The saggy boobs. The flabby vagina. The menopause. The weight gain. The lowering of your annoyingly squeaky voice.
Fortunately, Cyndi Lauper’s found a cure for the last item.
Pop survivor Cyndi Lauper has one of the most unusual pre-performance warmups.
An amused source backstage at last week’s benefit for the Hetrick-Martin Institute said she sucked the gas out of two helium balloons, to create her trademark squeaky voice, before belting out hits like “Time After Time.”
Something tells me it’s not just before shows that this woman’s sucking on helium …

Your retarded – its not helium – its a vocal excersize…what a twat
Get your facts right !!!!
Yeah, you not too bright. Its not uncommon for this to be done
Yeah, wouldn’t the helium wear off after about 2 minutes?

asshole
Seriously, even if this is true, you don’t need to be talking shit about people living the life you wish you had. And aging is a part of life, one day the same thing will happen to you, other than the fame, fortune, and amazing talent! But seriously, cool your jets and take some time to think about what others might think about you for a change! She’s really an amazing singer, and you need to think about that for a while. Just because you don’t have a life at all, and have the time to talk shit about everyone with better lives than you, doesn’t mean you need to go and lie to everyone, or tell people about their PERSONAL LIVES!
sorry but i dont believe cyndi lauper would ever have a drug problem, i love her and have the highest respect for her
Whoever wrote this shitty blog is retarded ashole.
Ha ha! Squeaky voice! She has a 4 Octave range. She can sing where she wants. Blowing up balloons is a great exercise to build diaphragm strength, and she has never tried to conceal the fact that she uses singing exercises to maintain her voice. Aside from the fact that she isn’t as young as she was, she damaged her vocal chords years ago and had to completely retrain her voice again. I would imagine that takes work.
Sad that this is what ‘reporting’ has become. As was mentioned, sucking helium from a balloon (Aside from being dangerous) would only last a few seconds anyway. Even a moron should have been able to poke holes in this bit of ‘fact finding’ in a few seconds. Good luck reaching the level of moron.
dont say that about cyndi. that was really mean thing to say. she has been blessed by someone of much higher status than yourself you should respect that and learn that you have not been placed with the power to judge. her blessing comes from helping others be stronger and to grow spiritually. she is not a sheep like madonna. she has a real personality and she is an O.G. because she is not a material girl superficial like other celebrities. she keeps it real and stays true to herself. she realizes that this world we live in aint the only one. shes an inspiration to those who need it.
if u can understand here are some words….shine ill stand by u. and dont try and push me away im just gonna stay. you can shine i wont deny u. and dont be afraid itll all be ok.
do u know my name? well i aint gonna take those big time line wont be beat by a lie. gonna call out to these embers waiting to ignite gonna pull u up by your love and tell you shine. i can see the frown u wear all around like some faded crown like a watch overwound gonna call down to this diamond buried underground gonna pull u up. when its said and done what u need will come and time wont let me let u let me waste it this time.
you with the sad eyes. dont be discouraged oh i realise its hard to take courage. with a world full of people u can lose sight of it all and the darkness inside u makes ya feel so small. but i can see your true colors come shing thru. so show me a smile if this world makes ya crazy and youve taken all u can bear. just call me up because u know ill be there.
and p.s. everybody gets old einstein. when we die our bodies wither into dust but your spirit will live on. its all depends on what we chose to do in this precious short time that we have. cyndy choses to use hers to inspire strength truth and courage. its not all about material girl its about whats inside you yu should try connecting with yours.
cyndi has an esoteric voice of an angel.
Cyndi Lauper will go down in history as one of the greatest entertainers/humanitarians of all time. What will you be remembered for?
OK… YOUR COMMENT SUCKS! CYNDI IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS EVER… but the best part of this matter is…let me whisper in your ear….. SHE DOESN’T GIVE A RAT’S ASS FOR WHATEVER WE SAY HERE!!!!! She already passed the time proof… and she can do whatever she wants, sing the hell she likes or dress like chinese umbrella… like this photo up here says, she, the hell can do it!
