    Dear Miss.Lauper,your music saved my life.There I lay in a deep,deep coma from a MX Racing accident.Doctors told my parents I was Brain Dead,three times.After play your beautiful song,'True Colours',my vitals improved.
    Every time your song was played beside my bed,I would make an improvement.
    Lost deep in a coma,your music would reach me,my brain hearing this beautiful music and giving me the will to live.
    I thank you for your wonderful music,it helped to save my life.Thank You.

    She never let fame go to her head and she is aging gracefully on top of that. These are all things Madonna lacks. Madonna was only cool in the early 80s, but Cyndi has been cool throughout all the decades.

    Cyndi is unbelievably talented. Cyndi you are so right when you said that people who are meant to get the message in 'Girl's just Wanna have fun' hear it. It's incredibly empowering to women not just in the past but now and it still will in the future as well. It crosses generations as it has many meanings at different levels. It's not often that an artist truly stays relevant in any time/generation. Thank you Cyndi, you are a beautiful person. Xx

    She is a real genuine Artist/Singer, perfectionist...not merely a performer.

    My mom taught me about rock bands? AC/DC Black Sabbath Dio and many more. So Cyndi? Was definitely in my life growing up. I’m 23. And it’s been my dream since I was a kid to be in a band either singer (then I found out I can’t sing) or guitar (anyone can learn it, it just takes time) like all my heroes. My sisters taught me about Cyndi. And I love her voice. And how empowering she is to younger women and girls. We need more artists like her. I hope to be one but as a guitarist.
