twitter.com/NYMag/status/1078335227246899202New York Magazine @nymag Cher even gave Adam Lambert a standing ovation nym.ag/2CBf9ChCher Cries, Doesn’t Disturb a Speck of Makeup, During Adam Lambert’s ‘Believe’ Cover There go those pesky Kennedy Center Honors reducing people to tears again. At the 2018 ceremony, which aired on Wednesday night after taking place earlier this month, Cher was among the honorees, along with Reba McEntire, Philip Glass, Wayne Shorter, and the team behind Hamilton. Adam Lambert, of American Idol and new Queen front man fame, was picked to perform Cher’s “Believe” in tribute to our national treasure. And in that AI spirit, he rearranged her hit so it’s a ballad, and do you know what ballads do to people??? Bring on the waterworks. Yes, indeed, Adam Lambert made Cher cry much like Aretha Franklin made Barack Obama cry at the Honors a few years ago. Obviously, Lambert’s was less of a moment, but still, it got to Cher. Cher! She can be seen wiping away her tears toward the end, without disturbing a speck of eye shadow of course, and giving him a standing ovation. Later in the night, Cyndi Lauper also paid tribute to Cher with a rendition of “If I Could Turn Back Time,” during which Cher can be heard shouting from the balcony, “You told me you were going to Los Angeles!” Cyndi shrugs, “I lied.” Well, that lying Lauper got everyone dancing and then got all the couples in the room in their feelings by joining Lambert for a duet of Sonny & Cher’s “I Got You Babe.” Little Big Town also performed a rousing Cher medley and Whoopi Goldberg celebrated Cher in full character as Cher, accent and outfit included. Naturally, Cher livetweeted the whole broadcast and tried to put her feelings into words, but it was no use. Just let the tears do the talking, queen!

So happy for all the accolades Adam is receiving for him performance of "Believe." And he always gets that reaction when he throws down and sings but unfortunately they don't get to hear him do that a lot on US tv. Maybe and hopefully this will be a turning point for him. Can't wait for his Queen influenced material cause I think he knows what the world wants and has been waiting for from him. He will deliver. But it is so great to see such a wonderful reaction for a man with talent that far exceeds what you get on the radio today. So happy for him. So from what we hear ABC, and CBS talked about and showed clips of Adam's performance. But NBC only did Kelly. Their loss cause everyone is talking about Adam. After ten years, Adam is still a hidden treasure. Hard to believe, isn't it? Somehow, when it comes to lots of network TV, he too often gets overlooked. This performance showed millions of people what they have been missing. So many people don't see him, don't hear him, don't get a chance to fall in love with him as we have. There is so much buzz about this performance. (lurleene, love your comment abut NBC only doing Kelly). Adam needs every breakthrough he can get. This audience in the room was full of A-list celebs, performers, politicians, etc. I think Adam left a profound impression on a lot of people. Maybe some new opportunities will come of it. Are you listening, Lin-Manuel Miranda? And the wonderful thing is he is getting all this praise in recognition of his talent, artistry and performance. Imo, that is the key to getting many other opportunities when you are not put in a niche artist bag. Some have tried real hard to put him there and keep him there. But I think the frontman duties for Queen and his huge talent have gone a long way in breaking down some of those barriers. Sorta hard to dismiss someone who is helping to fill arenas and stadiums around the world and making millions of dollars in the process. I remember how shocked some of the publications were when Adam topped the Forbes list of highest earning Idols over Kelly and Carrie. They were pretty stunned, lol.

I get so much pure joy watching "I Got You Babe" over and over and over again. They were so perfect together and Adam had so much fun with that song. I sit here grinning like a fool.
