Cher: 'Burlesque was not a good movie' (original) (raw)

Cher has slated her 2010 musical film Burlesque.

Burlesque starred Christina Aguilera as an aspiring dancer who attempted to launch her career at Hollywood club run by a veteran of the industry (Cher).

Cher reflected on Burlesque in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, and admitted that she was disappointed by the finished movie.

"It wasn't a good film. It had a few good moments, but I didn't even like my performance that much," the 'Woman's World' singer commented.

She added: "What, I don't have a brain? I'm old but I'm still pretty on top of everything."

Cher made headlines in 2011 by complaining that her Burlesque song 'You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me' did not receive an Oscar nomination.

The popstar recently released her new album Closer to the Truth in the US. The record will debut on October 14 in the UK.
