She’s the only artist who’s had a hit in the top ten in every decade for 60 years. She was 52 in that hat video. She pioneered that autotune effect in pop.
Cher was 52 when this came out. She'd proven her talent over and over again in the music industry, by breezing through all different types of styles of music in that time.
This song came out when auto-tune was very new with the effects and no one was doing it much. When this came out, it was an immediate bop. We would squeal and run to the dance floor. The lyrics are meant to empower anyone after a breakup or a doomed relationship. This is Cher's style. She is all about survival. This was in the Britney, NSYNC, Christina debut era. Cher was like hold my beer bitches. She has had a #1 single on a Billboard chart in SEVEN consecutive decades. She has won Emmy, Grammy and Oscar. I am sure if she did Broadway, she would get a Tony.
Song was an immediate hit 🎉 It came on and we made a dash to the dance floor 💃🏽🕺🏾 The beat, her voice, everything about this song made it a banger …. Cher is a star ⭐️
Pop, rock, disco, country, standards, she's done it all. She first hit in 1965. She was 52 when "Believe" hit #1, setting the record for the oldest female singer to hit #1. And it also set the record for longest span between first and most recent #1's for an artist, 33 years and 7 months.
Living legend. Cher has many sounds . She's been doing this since she was a teenager hanging out with Ronnie Spector. She'd sing backup for Phil Spectors music. Side note Cher is a phenomenal Oscar winning actress. ❤ your reactions. #peaceandstaywild
Not only did she use autotune PERFECTLY in her own unique style, but in the second chorus there is NO AUTOTUNE and it showcases she doesn't need it. It's amazing!
Wikipedia-Believe" is an upbeat dance-pop and electropop song and departed from Cher's previous music. It featured a pioneering use of the audio processing software Auto-Tune to distort her vocals, which was widely imitated and became known as the "Cher effect". The lyrics describe empowerment and self-sufficiency after a painful breakup. "Believe" received positive reviews; critics praised its production and catchiness, with some deeming it a highlight from the album. The song has been listed as one of Cher's most important releases. At the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards, it was nominated for Record of the Year and won Best Dance Recording, the first and only Grammy Award that Cher has won.
You should probably listen to a song by her from each decade, beginning with the 1960s, when she was part of a duo with her then-husband, Sonny. Start with "I Got You Babe." She has sung pop, rock, folk, disco, and club/dance music.
Cher began her career as a teen when she met Sonny Bono, and they performed as "Sonny and Cher." The two famous hits from that era are "I got You, Babe," and "The Beat goes on." They hosted a variety show in the 70's, full of silly comedy and guest appearances. The whole country watched every week. Cher caused "controversy" by showing her belly button on TV and by naming their only child "Chastity" -- a name fairly common now but skirting the edge of social acceptability at the time. ("Chastity" has since become a trans male, known as Chaz Bono.) After her divorce from Sonny, Cher had a solo show for a few years. Cher is also an actress, and won a "best actress" Academy Award for her great movie "Moonstruck. She's incredibly versatile. She's an icon. She's an activist for Human Rights issues. Heck, I didn't even know I knew this much interesting stuff about Cher... lol
Cher is one of those artists that transcends time. She's been at it for over 50 years and still going strong. What I love about this song is that it is perfect for those who are going through a tough breakup because it tells them that there is life after love. I know that Cher's music has helped me through a lot of heartbreak over the years.
You need to listen to Adam Lambert singing believe he’s voice is absolutely incredible Cher is obviously amazing singing this song but in my opinion Adam lambert just brings it another level
WOW, how do you not know of this song??? This song is the most played song of all time. The Romans played this between fights at the Coloseum thousands of years ago, it played while Jesus was serving fish, bread, & wine to his followers, it was on the radio when Noah was floating around on his raft with all of those animals, and even when Adam & Eve had their first date at the mall.😂❤
@mrbear1302 Hahaha! Giraffes swinging their heads up high, elephants holding their trunks up, monkeys swinging around from the rafters, parrots bopping their heads, peacocks waving their tail feathers, turtles doing back spins, bears standing on their back 2 legs waving their paws in the air… I bet that place was a zoo when this song came on.
You should listen to Adam Lambert’s performance of ‘believe” in front of Cher for the Kennedy Honors. His performance brought tears and cheers from Cher. His performance was in my top ten of all songs.
Cher has been around since the mid 60's and has covered every genre you can imagine. Check out "Take me home" the 70's Cher "Half Breed" "Hell on Wheels" 80's "I found someone" "we all sleep alone" Cher really has a 7 decade long Discography you would be impressed for sure
To see her versatility check out her with Carol Burnett. Or Sir Elton John. Can't remember specifics, but they will show her in a live setting and why she is a living legend
Love Cher. Its something about the music you can feel it in your body and soul. Chills and alive. Yes Cher Can sing and does not need auto tune so its was her choice to sprinkle it with the video.
If memory serves, when the song was first released the reactions were either love it or hate it, with very little middle ground, because it was so new and unusual. But it was always memorable!
Saw Sonny and Cher at the Michigan State Fair 1968, I've been a CHER fan ever since, she's been around for decades and is still going strong. Shon Great Reaction👍 she's also an Oscar winner a Great Actress! GOAT! 😊✌️Peace ☮️ Gary your 70 year old forever Young Hippie💃🕺more Cher please 🙏
Cher is an icon and living legend.. She doesn't give a flyjng "f>?" what anyone thinks of her, and she's 78 years old! Name one other pop star who had gained this reptation. I'll wait............I was never a fan of hers early on (didn't hate, didn't like), but then a friend took me to her concert in Miami years and years ago...............I totally became a fan.
Great reactions bro! The fact youre conscious of the fact that the song could be a great happy song or a sad song depending on the approach to it makes for a great reaction
You should start with 'I Got You Babe', then 'Gypsies, Tramps, & Thieves', 'Half-Breed', 'Dark Lady'. Then you'll have the proper foundation to check out her post 1970's music.
Cher's style evolves which makes her always interesting. Think David Bowie! Check out Cher and Bowie on her show from years past. Always lovely to watch your reactions.
So many times, we thought Cher was over. And got dayum if she wouldn't come back with another hit. This was by far the most remarkable. She was a 50 something with a club hit!
Cher's mother told her when she was young that she needed to settle down and marry a rich man. She told her mom, I am a rich man. Cher takes no crap and does things her way. A true icon.
She was an old woman here, singing for decades. She reinvented herself over and over. You should here her from all those decades to decide who she was.
Cher......"The Shoop Shoop Song"( video from the movie, Mermaids). "Fernando" ( video from the movie, Mama Mia, here we Go Again). ( Fernando is an ABBA song). "Gypsies, Tramps and Theives". ( video). Cher and Tina Turner duet..." Shame, Shame Shame" ( video from The Cher Show) Cher started out as a late teenager and was a,back up singer. She was back up on the Righteous Brothers "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". Video Then she teamed up with Sonny Bono in the 60's and they had a tv show....comedy/ variety/singing....." The Beat Goes On". & " I Got You Bsbe". 2 of their big hits. Cher has also acted in several movies, Silkwood, The Mask, Mermaids The Witches of Eastwick, Moonstruck, Mama Mia, Here We Go Again,; and equally great in dramatic roles and musical movies. She hss won an Oscar . She is still doing concerts in her late 70's.
Cher has set a Billboard music chart record. She has had at least one #1 song on any one their charts every decade since the 60’s. This song was her comeback song and new direction away from pop music
Would you believe that she was 52 when this song came out? She has had a huge career, and she had a resurgence in the late 90s. She was making music in the 70s with her first husband Sonny Bono, and they were known as Sonny and Cher. Oh, and you were right, it's pronounced like, "Share".
Cher was using a type of auto-tune on her voice to create the unique sound we hear. When Kid Rock did the same thing on his track "Only God Knows Why" he was criticized because he was doing the same thing but because people thought he was using it on the track to correct his voice .
You have to watch Adam Lambert do a cover of this song at The Kennedy Center Honors that was doing a tribute to Cher, who was in the audience. His rendition was amazing!
Times, when Auto-Tune was used in a correct way! :) Great sound, great song! I used to dance to this song - in my younger years - at the disco *fun ... it was a big hit back then!
You absolutely have to review the "Believe" cover by Adam Lambert at the Kennedy Center tribute show for Cher. She was brought to tears by his unique version of this song - and he can sing!!
There was a video on Tik Tok, I believe at Red Rocks, CO. The venue played this song in an attempt to move the crowd out. It turned into a massive dance party 🤣🤣🤣
She was married to Sonny Bono and they had the Sonny and Cher comedy hour, check it out, and she was also married to Gregg Allmon from the Allmon Brothers!
Love Cher!! Check out the iconic song I've Got You Babe by her and Sonny Bono (her ex husband) to see how far her sound has come since she was young. Great reaction!! 😊
Now you should listen to Adam Lambert’s version he performed for Cher at The Kennedy Honors Center! He brought Cher to tears with his rendition 🙂 And as others have suggested, check out Just Like Jesse James by Cher’s… you’ll love it!
Shon. The line is Do you believe in LIFE after love. You should watch the video again and follow the story. Cher saves the girls life by stopping her from jumping off the building.
I think Shon will dig the story-line of that song because I've seen him react to other songs that have strong storylines, like El Paso, by Marty Robbins. As I remember, he really enjoys that in songs.
Shon, everyone will tell you to delve into her past hit 'I got you babe' with her husband and other half of 'Sonny and Cher', Sonny Bono. But I think you should listen to Cher's first time singing non backup, and SOLO (with a little help from Sonny because she was so nervous) and it just happens to be their first song! The song is called 'BABY DON'T GO'! It is absolutely one of my favorites from them. And in my mind better than 'I got you babe'. Baby don't go!! Peace out people...
As far as I can remember, this is the song that first used auto-tune to this crazy amount. It started it all. Auto-tune had been used to hide issues but never as a creative choice.
Cher doesn't have a typical sound. She's sung everything over her very long career.
1st song ever with auto-tune yall. HISTORIC. She revolutionized the world with this. Her style is her voice, it’s unique. It’s her sound
She’s the only artist who’s had a hit in the top ten in every decade for 60 years. She was 52 in that hat video. She pioneered that autotune effect in pop.

This came in perfect time when millenials enter in clubs😉😉
Song was an immediate hit 🎉
It came on and we made a dash to the dance floor 💃🏽🕺🏾
The beat, her voice, everything about this song made it a banger
….

I loved her movie Moonstruck as a kid!
The great thing about Cher using autotune is she doesn't need it!
Gypsies Tramps and thieves, is an absolute must listen to by Cher. Oh and half breed! I've been a big fan of cher's hits since the 70s. 🇬🇧💙
The original title of that song was gypsies tramps and white trash. Cher and her producer didn't like the white trash part so they changed it.
I got you babe is a good one
How about "Walking in Memphis"? Loved that! 🙂
My two favorites!!❤
Yes! Those two 70s songs and her incredible Bob Mackie outfits will blow his mind.
Who doesn't love Cher?! Her career has been remarkable.
Not only did she use autotune PERFECTLY in her own unique style, but in the second chorus there is NO AUTOTUNE and it showcases she doesn't need it. It's amazing!
This song is a key example of proper effect use. Coupled with her vocal ability, it sounds like glitter or twinkling lights.
That's...accurate. 🤩
Cher can cross genres, she can do it all. 🎼🎶

*She is 52 years old here. She's now 78 and STILL killing it, bro! She has no "typical sound." Sings in every genre!!*
Cher has reinvented herself over and over since the 60s she is 78 still going strong. She is amazing
Just like Jesse James by Cher is one of my fave songs ever!!!!
My absolute favorite
You should probably listen to a song by her from each decade, beginning with the 1960s, when she was part of a duo with her then-husband, Sonny. Start with "I Got You Babe." She has sung pop, rock, folk, disco, and club/dance music.
That is why she is 👇
CHER 💋
This was the VERY first song to use auto-tune! It was used only in parts. Most of it is all her. You can catch when it changes. Brilliance!
She has had a Billboard #1 hit 7 decades in row.
Cher began her career as a teen when she met Sonny Bono, and they performed as "Sonny and Cher." The two famous hits from that era are "I got You, Babe," and "The Beat goes on."

You beat me to it. 🙂 Adam brought her to tears with his version -- an incredible tribute to her, sung live, NO autotune, a true tour de force!
Yes please 🙏 Adam and Cher at the Kenedy Center Honors, Peace 😊✌️ Gary
The music definitely gives club vibes. Very danceable.
WOW, how do you not know of this song??? This song is the most played song of all time.

😆
😂😂😂
I have a visual of all of the animals dancing on the Ark!

@@blindsurvival8570 🤣🤣🤣
"Dark Lady" has an unexpected twist.
I love Dark Lady
You should listen to Adam Lambert’s performance of ‘believe” in front of Cher for the Kennedy Honors. His performance brought tears and cheers from Cher. His performance was in my top ten of all songs.
Life After Love was the first #1 hit to feature autotune. In this case it was used as a electronic gimmick since Cher had perfect pitch!😮😊
Dark lady by her is amazing!
Cher does not have a signature sound. She has done it all, started as a teen.
Cher has been around since the mid 60's and has covered every genre you can imagine. Check out "Take me home" the 70's Cher "Half Breed" "Hell on Wheels" 80's "I found someone" "we all sleep alone" Cher really has a 7 decade long Discography you would be impressed for sure
To see her versatility check out her with Carol Burnett. Or Sir Elton John. Can't remember specifics, but they will show her in a live setting and why she is a living legend
Love Cher. Its something about the music you can feel it in your body and soul. Chills and alive. Yes Cher Can sing and does not need auto tune so its was her choice to sprinkle it with the video.
Sonny & Cher/I Got You Babe😮😊
Cher has had a #1 in each of the last 70 decades. She constantly reinvents herself. She is also an Oscar winning actress.
Cher, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING
Dude, She has a lot of great songs and this one is awesome! Hope you check out some of her other songs that folks are suggesting. Have fun!
Cher has more Eras then any artist absolutely no typical sound from her just morphing into the next generation with style
If memory serves, when the song was first released the reactions were either love it or hate it, with very little middle ground, because it was so new and unusual. But it was always memorable!
She can have fun with the auto-tune....because she really can sing, unlike many others who use auto-tune.
🇬🇧
I LOVE this song. I think this was the very first song that auto tune was used. 💃🕺🎼🎶
It was!
... and the end of believing that singers could actually sing.
Her record company didn't want to use the auto tune. But she fought to keep it in.
Saw Sonny and Cher at the Michigan State Fair 1968, I've been a CHER fan ever since, she's been around for decades and is still going strong. Shon Great Reaction👍 she's also an Oscar winner a Great Actress! GOAT! 😊✌️Peace ☮️ Gary your 70 year old forever Young Hippie💃🕺more Cher please 🙏

Such a joy to watch your reactions to these songs for the first time.😁❤
He’s a wonderful guy.
I believe she is saying "do you believe in life after love?"
Dark Or Black Lady. or further back, Bang Bang, from back in the Sonny and Cher days. She also did one with Meatloaf.
Cher is awesome! A great video is We are the world 25 for Haiti. I love your channel. going to subscribe now.🙂
Great reactions bro! The fact youre conscious of the fact that the song could be a great happy song or a sad song depending on the approach to it makes for a great reaction
You should start with 'I Got You Babe', then 'Gypsies, Tramps, & Thieves', 'Half-Breed', 'Dark Lady'. Then you'll have the proper foundation to check out her post 1970's music.
"Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" next Please!
Cher...unique and unrepeatable!
My favorite song of hers!! It helped me get through some tough times!!!
Cher's style evolves which makes her always interesting. Think David Bowie! Check out Cher and Bowie on her show from years past. Always lovely to watch your reactions.
So many times, we thought Cher was over. And got dayum if she wouldn't come back with another hit. This was by far the most remarkable. She was a 50 something with a club hit!
I just got Cher's autobiography and I can't wait to read it!!
She was the first. #1 in 23 countries. Global smash.
Cher just gets better and better and better and better!!
Cher's mother told her when she was young that she needed to settle down and marry a rich man. She told her mom, I am a rich man. Cher takes no crap and does things her way. A true icon.
All right, now you gotta jump back to the sixties. "I got you, babe." Sonny and Cher
My favorite song from Cher😊😊😊😊
This a jam shonraho
This was HUGE when it came out, and the vocorder usage was pretty new. This was one of her comebacks!
Shame pretty that pretty much every pop song the vocalist gets put through auto tune, may as well let AI sing
In 1998 Believe was nominated for Record of the Year and won Best Dance Recording, the first and only Grammy Award that Cher has won.
Which is a crime
Epitome of a legendary diva.
Thanks!
She also did a song with Peter cetera
She was an old woman here, singing for decades. She reinvented herself over and over. You should here her from all those decades to decide who she was.
GREAT REACTION SHON!

She walked out on her first husband (Sony Bono) with only the clothes on he back and no money.
Have always loved Cher 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would you believe that she was 52 when this song came out? She has had a huge career, and she had a resurgence in the late 90s. She was making music in the 70s with her first husband Sonny Bono, and they were known as Sonny and Cher. Oh, and you were right, it's pronounced like, "Share".

I’m pretty sure the lyric is, “do you believe in life after love?”
I believe she was the first artist to use the electronic modulation of the voice.
She was married to Sonny Bono and they had the Sonny and Cher comedy hour, check it out, and she was also married to Gregg Allmon from the Allmon Brothers!
Sonny and Cher, I got you babe you need to listen to
They dont make them as good as Cher anymore!!
Good things she’s still around 😉
Love Cher!! Check out the iconic song I've Got You Babe by her and Sonny Bono (her ex husband) to see how far her sound has come since she was young. Great reaction!! 😊
Now you should listen to Adam Lambert’s version he performed for Cher at The Kennedy Honors Center! He brought Cher to tears with his rendition 🙂

You need to do some Tony Toni Tone Whatever you want or It never rains in southern California
Cher doesn't need autotune.
try gypsy tramps and thieves, that was her sound for decades.
I think Shon will dig the story-line of that song because I've seen him react to other songs that have strong storylines, like El Paso, by Marty Robbins. As I remember, he really enjoys that in songs.
Do Lisa Lisa &Cult Jam---- All cried out from 1986
Shon, everyone will tell you to delve into her past hit 'I got you babe' with her husband and other half of 'Sonny and Cher', Sonny Bono.

Cher introduced the world with the first autotune
As far as I can remember, this is the song that first used auto-tune to this crazy amount. It started it all. Auto-tune had been used to hide issues but never as a creative choice.
Should watch when she did this in vegas. people dropping from the ceiling
Just like Jesse James
I dont think it can be stated how huge this was in the club scenes. It was played non-stop.
Dark Lady, Jesse James, the list of her awesome hits is soooo long from 7 decades of music.
