It’s no secret that Adam Lambert is one of the greatest modern vocal talents, but this performance truly pushed his skills to new heights! Jimmy Fallon dared Lambert to cover “The Muffin Man” in the style of Cher, a request that had the pop star bursting into laughter. Undeterred, Lambert embraced the challenge, delivering the nursery rhyme to the tune of Cher’s megahit “Believe.”
As expected, Lambert not only aced it vocally but also brought the comedic flair, leaving Fallon and the entire audience in stitches. His opening line had everyone in the room doubled over with laughter, and the energy was electric as Lambert effortlessly owned the performance. Known for his vocal mastery, this time it was equally thrilling to see him showcase his comedic timing—he truly nailed it with this cheeky, unforgettable rendition!
The pure joy on everyone’s faces—both onstage and in the crowd—during Adam Lambert’s performance really spoke volumes. Lambert brought his Cher impression to life on Wheel of Musical Impressions during a Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon episode, which was uploaded to YouTube on April 17, 2023. The clip quickly became a fan favorite, with an impressive 4.6 million views, and for good reason.
Fans were in awe of Lambert’s flawless delivery, with comments like, “Adam Lambert is still hands down one of the most phenomenal male singers of all time. There’s nothing he can’t sing,” and “His laugh in the middle of singing just gets me every time. It shows how much fun singing is for him, and I love his passion.” Lambert clearly enjoyed his time on Fallon, as he later brought the playful mashup of “The Muffin Man” and “Believe” to his show at the Summertime Ball on June 11, 2023, proving once again that he can truly make anything unforgettable!
Cher released “Believe” on October 19, 1998, as the lead single from her 22nd studio album of the same name. The song, written by a team of seven songwriters, featured Cher’s personal contribution to the lyrics in the second verse. Despite her significant input, she was not credited as a songwriter, a decision she later regretted in 2023, wishing she had requested a credit. The song went on to achieve massive success, topping the charts in 23 countries and selling over 11 million units worldwide. Known as Cher’s signature song, “Believe” remains the highest-selling single ever by a female solo artist, solidifying its place in music history.
