The American Idol winner performed a beautiful version of “Believe” as a tribute to Cher, 72, was a guest of honor at the services. Cyndi Lauper also stunned with her performance of “If I could Turn Back Time” before teaming up with Adam for a performance of Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe.”

Backed by a full orchestra performance, Adam’s performance of Billboard Hot 100 No.1 1998 pop number “Believe” impressed Cher and earned him a standing ovation from the crowd. His version of the dance club anthem was like a ballad. At one point, Cher even rubbed tears off her eyes during the performance.

After the soulful performance, an emotional Cher took to Twitter to share how she felt.

In response, Adam posted a heartfelt Tweet, saying it was an honor to perform during the show.

Cyndi and Adam were not the only ones to pay tribute to the iconic pop star. Little Big Town sang a medley of her songs. Whoopi Goldberg had something else in mind rather than a musical tribute--she dressed up like Cher and even tried to mimic her accent.
