The song "Beautiful People" by Cher from the movie Burlesque is a commentary on the desire for fame and beauty in society. The lyrics describe a group of people who are seemingly perfect and flawless, like something out of this world. The chorus repeats the phrase "beautiful people they want" and "beautiful people they flaunt," emphasizing the idea that everybody wants to be one of these beautiful people and show off their beauty to the world. The second verse addresses this desire for fame and sex appeal, urging listeners to be more "outrageous" to achieve that level of perfection. The song encourages listeners to aspire to be part of this glamorous group, but also suggests that underneath their perfect exterior, the beautiful people may be hiding problems and insecurities.
Overall, the song celebrates the beauty and allure of the glamorous elite, while also revealing the darker aspects of fame and the cost of chasing after an unattainable standard of beauty. It is a commentary on the obsession with celebrity culture and the pressure to conform to a certain image of perfection.
