Adam Lambert left the whole room in tears with his emotional cover of Cher‘s “Believe” performed at the 2018 Kennedy Center Honors, which aired last night on CBS.
Seriously, the whole room. As well as living rooms across America.
Adam Lambert sang that song like the love of his life just left him before he walked on stage. He was amazing BRAVO #KCHonors #KennedyCenterHonors pic.twitter.com/tB9To0jeLb

Is there a genre @adamlambert can't interpret or has one not been invented yet? #KennedyCenterHonors

.@adamlambert's incredible version of @Cher's "Believe" on #KennedyCenterHonors is proof that all of those of us who obsessed about him on American Idol can say, "We told you so." So there.

The 41st annual celebration of the arts was held on December 2 and hosted by Gloria Estefan. It aired last night on CBS.
In addition to Cher, the 2018 Honorees included none other than country music superstar Reba McEntire, composer and pianist Philip Glass, jazz saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter, and the three co-creators of the hit Broadway musical Hamilton.
Performers from the night included Cyndi Lauper and Kelly Clarkson among others. But it was Adam Lambert who stole the show and left everyone, including Cher, speechless.
Tried 2 write Feelings About Adam Lambert Singing
Believe In Words,but Cant seem 2.When Your senses are Overwhelmed All Can you feel with your ??.
I Was Shocked AND Over The MOON When Cindi (Lauper) came out Rocking the house.
Shocked Because SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS IN LA,— Cher (@cher) December 27, 2018

Gloria is a republican surprised Cher wasn’t triggered by that and had to boycott.
jquintice
This isn’t about politics it’s honoring a great entertainer
iamru2
J luckily for us all you don’t get to dictate what people say in the comments section. Btw how many sock puppets you got goin on there buddy?
GetOffMyInternets
@iamru2 Actually no, Gloria is NOT a Republican nor is she a Democrat or even an Independent…in her own words:
“I don’t know where they’re getting this… I hate boxes, really, quite honestly. I’m not affiliated. People can assume things from things they hear me say, but I am not Republican. I’m not a Democrat. I’m not even an Independent. I’m not affiliated just in case nobody knew.”
Anyone else’s political affiliation we need to know about so we can fact check?
batesmotel
She’s not a Democrat and has never uttered anything in support against the Democrats. This led people to assume oh then she must be the other one. A Republican. As if there are only two parties that are people in. Some people aren’t either. And some people are Independents, Green, Libertarians.

Cher and Gloria both have class unlike Trump.
fredo777
Brilliant. An unexpectedly reserved rendition, compared to his take during his run on ‘Idol’ (although, I like both covers).
ElPillo
It was a very nice rendition indeed, but I wasn’t moved. It didn’t project the feeling she can.
fur_hunter
Aahhhh……Excuse me!!!!!! ‘Video NOT Available’….What is that?????
ElPillo
Queerty muy ban and delete these types that advertise.
Mack
I agree Elpillo, Queerty allows bots to post advertisement but if you say something wrong you get banned. So you know they “police” the site. I guess their “parent” company needs the money.
misterjack
WOW! That was wonderful!

Adam Lambert, one helluva entertainer. Like him or not, the man is talented. Really should have won Idol back in the day. Great tribute to Cher, a true Idol and Diva.
DuMaurier
Sometimes I see the raves on these event performances before watching the clip and when I see it I’m like, “Eh….okay but nothing like what everyone’s saying.”
Not this time! Beautiful to a supernatural, unearthly level.
avesraggiana
Soooo….was Trump at the Kennedy Centre Awards? Hmmmm?
BigJohnSF
He sang it in her key. Very impressive. When’s he gonna have a hit?
bvick1636
Her own record company will not support her. Then for some reason, her singles always do great on the dance club singles chart (most times reaching #1) but radio DJ’s will not put her songs on their stations so the hits can be on the HOT 100. This is directly the result of WB not pushing and promoting her singles. Many from the BELIEVE album had millions of views on You Tube but they weren’t even released as singles by WB. She owes them one more album, then hopefully she signs with another label.

Really really good. Great set of pipes.
seaguy
It looked like the Diva approved of Glambert’s cover of Beleive so that is good.

” Would Love to see a T.V. Special with Cher & Adam in kind’a a Sonny & Cher, type variety show. I think them together doing duets & some type of comedy would be Television GOLD, Not to mention the Gay Population to View it.”
