SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:59 Min.
For the 2018 sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, Cher duets with co-star Andy Garcia on this cover of the classic ABBA hit.
REVIEW:
There’s no mistaking that it’s Cher. Though it doesn’t surpass her original hits, like 1989’s “If I Could Turn Back Time,” this effort is still relatively good. Bolstered by stellar instrumentals, her flamboyant rendition of “Fernando” delivers some pleasant ear candy. The problem is qualifying this song as an actual duet. At most, Andy Garcia’s minor contribution is that of a back-up singer, as Cher’s performance drowns him out (intentionally or not). While this cover isn’t even a remote threat to ABBA’s original, it is worth hearing on occasion.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5½ Stars
