Cindy Birdsong suffers from Dementia but I am not sure how advanced it is at the moment. I feel she will go before Diana Ross. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, seeing her sing it beats everything. That little wink! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,661 Posted January 17, 2022 Actually, I take that back. Just watched a video she posted on Facebook on 3rd Jan. She looks like shit. 66 but looks 80. Very wrinkled, brown teeth. Complains about her mental health, and asks her followers to send her money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice to see someone confident to be seen au naturel with no filters, no photoshopping. Bet she looks great when she dresses up, does her hair and puts a bit of slap on. Hope she recovers well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, that doesn't reserve me the right to hold the opinion that she looks like she hasn't taken care of herself. My mum and all my aunts are in their mid-60s and look infinitely better than her. I mean, her teeth are almost black. Just an observation, but you seem to look for offence in everything @TheKeysOfMarinus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, her teeth are almost black. Huge exaggeration. Gleaming white teeth cost money which she clearly doesn't have. A visit to the hygienist costs me nearly £70 and doesn't affect the appearance of my teeth much. Tooth whitening - purely cosmetic - is much more expensive and isn't permanent. She probably drinks a lot of coffee, that's the usual culprit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just thought it was a very sour comment esp about mental health. As for almost black teeth, you must be joking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
