Charo on Lady Gaga and Joan Rivers

Cuchi Cuchi girl, or should we say woman, Charo, appeared on Joy Behar on February 28th to discuss her scatalogical Lady Gaga comment: “I see Lady Gaga as Madonna with diarrhea.”

If you’ve ever watched Charo you know how difficult she is to understand, something she has capitalized on as much as the “cuchi cuchi” line. But we’re troupers and will try our best to decipher the conversation.

Joy asked Charo what she meant by the diarrhea remark. “It’s perfect English,” Charo said, “I don’t need any translation.”

“Well, explain it a little bit to me,” Joy said.

Charo said she respects impersonators. They are artists. Joy has one she saw and she has one called Quesadilla. But she feels that Lady Gaga has stolen Madonna’s style “step by step, move by move.”

“The voice of the girl is beautiful,” Charo said, “Please don’t misconscrew me, [yes, that is the way she pronounces misconstrue] but she should never copy another artist so yes, I say exactly the truth: Lady Gaga is Madonna with diarrhea.”

Joy still didn’t get it, so Charo explained: “People don’t copy exactly. When you got perfection, there will be another Madonna. But when something is missing, is when you got diarrhea, you got it?”

So we guess she is saying Lady Gaga is a sh*tty imitation of Madonna.

Charo said that she made a lot of money off “cuchi, cuchi” but one day she looked in the mirror and said “You bitch, you sold out” and she apparently feels that Lady Gaga is doing the same – using a gimmick when she has a real talent.

Charo is a classical guitarist who studied under Andrés Segovia for 7 years in their native Spain. She thinks Lady Gaga will still be around in 20 years if she reinvents herself.

“Maybe she can reinvent herself as Liza Minelli,” Joy said.

Joy Behar asked Charo if she knew what twitter was. Charo said she can’t twitter because she twitters with an accent. Joy said when people twitter they send messages like: “You look great. What kind of plastic surgery have you had.”

“Not yet,” the 60-year-old Charo said. Joy Behar who is actually older than Charo also denies plastic surgery but admits to botox. Charo said she is going to have it when everything starts “hanging down.” She said she passionately admires Joan Rivers:

“She was very cute before the plastic surgery. Now she look more beautiful but she used to be Jewish. Now she looks Chinese.”
