Cher. A name everyone knows.

An artist whose music may not sit well with everyone’s taste but an artist everyone recognizes, nonetheless.

Cher and her former husband, Sonny Bono, were among the biggest names in the 60s. They were iconic, to say the least.

With a catchy duet entitled “I Got You Babe” and a popular variety show called “The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour”, the pair rose to fame quickly and became a household name.

There’s really no stopping Cher.

From a successful solo career to winning a Grammy and an Oscar, Cher has once more proved that there’s nothing she can’t do.

Beyond the many achievements tucked under her belt, there are also countless people who proudly declare her as their inspiration.

Singer and songwriter Adam Lambert expressed his admiration for Cher in the most remarkable way.

Taking one of Cher’s popular songs, “Believe,” Lambert took to the stage during the Annual Kennedy Center Honors and performed his own version.

If you’ve danced without care to “Believe,” you’ll want to sit down for this one and appreciate how different yet equally captivating Adam Lambert’s version is.

The heartfelt version was sung so beautifully that it brought tears to Cher’s eyes.

Even the audience was in awe, singing along.

And speaking of audience, the event was graced with the presence of equally amazing achievers in the music industry, such as Reba McEntire, Philip Glass, Wayne Shorter, and Lin Manuel-Miranda.

To be recognized at the Annual Kennedy Center Honors is a big deal.

The annual honors are given to outstanding individuals in the performing arts for their contributions to American culture.

In this event, the honorees are treated to recognition and gratitude from fellow artists through emotional tributes and incredible performances.

Adam Lambert did a stellar job of honoring Cher for her many accomplishments and contributions.

Cher was so blown over by the performance that she was rendered speechless.

With this performance, Cher’s contributions to American culture, and Adam Lambert’s unmatched singing skills were highlighted.

Viewers were definitely impressed. YouTube user Scotters wrote,

“This was truly one of the most amazing tributes that I have ever seen. Adam’s rendition and performance of ‘Believe’ was truly a love song straight from him to Cher and you could see that everyone in the audience was caught up in his loving tribute to Cher. Amazing moment.”

It won’t be long before Adam himself is recognized at the Annual Kennedy Center Honors.

Like Cher, Adam brings passion to all that he does. He doesn’t simply get up on stage, perform, and leave.

He brings out the emotions in songs in a way that only he knows how; he delivers flawlessly because of his genuine love for singing and performing.

He remains grounded and continues to express gratitude for those who have served as his inspiration to pursue excellence in the music industry.

Cher’s reaction says it all.

To be able to get up and do what you love in front of the whole world is a gift; to be met with nothing but love and appreciation from fellow artists and fans all over the world tells you you were meant for this.
