Adam Lambert's Impression Of Cher Singing 'The Muffin Man' Is Way Better Than It Should Be
Adam Lambert proved he was up to the task of smashing the competition when he participated in a challenge on Jimmy Fallon's That's My Jam game show.
The American Idol alum and accomplished solo artist appeared on Monday night's episode of Fallon's show inspired by the popular musical segment featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Lambert slayed when he sang "The Muffin Man" while impersonating Cher–a combo that was generated for him after spinning "The Wheel of Musical Impressions."
When Fallon asked Lambert, "Do you have a Cher in you?" he confidently responded:
"I got it. I got it."
You can watch the performance here.
Lambert flawlessly demonstrated to the audience he was born for this moment.
He stepped up to the mic and channeled the iconic singer. The accompanying live band played Cher's 1998 hit, "Believe" as the backing track for Lambert's rousing rendition of the traditional children's nursery rhyme.
Fans were blown away by a performance that was supposed to be a silly moment.
