When Lambert and Lauper Breathe New Life into the Classic ‘I Got You Babe’

Released in 1965, “I Got You Babe” by Sonny and Cher topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and became an anthem of the early hippie movement. Decades later, Adam Lambert and Cyndi Lauper performed this classic song at an awards ceremony honoring Cher, whose illustrious career has continued to shine.

Adam and Cyndi delivered a performance that left the audience in awe, instantly captivating the crowd. People rose to their feet, singing and dancing along to the iconic tune. Adam, known for his powerful high notes, chose to stay true to the original melody, creating a beautiful rendition that showcased the chemistry between the two performers.

Cher herself was in attendance, and like the audience, she was absolutely delighted by the duet. The legendary singer was visibly moved, joining the crowd in a standing ovation and cheering enthusiastically for Adam and Cyndi.

This rendition was captivating, thanks to the incredible talent of the performers. At over 60, Cyndi Lauper has enjoyed a long and successful career in the entertainment industry, nearly as lengthy as Cher’s. Her 1983 hit “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” is still celebrated as one of the best music videos of the decade.

On the other hand, Adam Lambert, who shot to fame as the runner-up on *American Idol* in 2009, has quickly ascended to stardom with his dramatic flair and impressive vocal range. He has performed alongside major stars like Queen and Rihanna, further solidifying his place in the music world.
