Cyndi Lauper turned back time and KILLED IT -- can we just consider the fact that when she performed this she was 65?! SIXTY-FIVE!!!!! Both Cher and Cyndi are LEGENDS!!!!
I love Cyndi lauper and she definitely has some of the most known songs ever but I personally wouldn’t consider her a legend because her career didn’t stand the test of time and her career isn’t as big as it once was unlike Cher who’s one of the greatest artists In history and she has stood the test of time
@Adam Efimoff no, im fairly positive that it isnt venessa Redgrave. I've seen her shown at a couple of other Kennedy center honors, though, and would love to know who she is!
It was the interesting people who did first. Kirsten Chenoweth did ( could not see who the woman in the West African clothing was). Dancer Carmen de Lavallade did too.
Seriously. I don’t think everyone understands her incredible talent. And not just her own songs… she can sing anything and has the most amazing and beautiful covers (they hardly feel like covers bc they are so unique)
The ones rocking out and pulling out their phones like they almost can't believe they're seeing Cyndi perform are amazing people and deserve only good vibes. 😂🎉❤
I love how you can clearly see Kristin Chenowith yelling at everyone to get up on their feet bc IT'S FREAKIN CYNDI LAUPER PERFORMING CHER AND EVERYONE SHOULD'VE BEEN ON THEIR FEET FROM THE FIRST NOTE
She was so underestimated when she first arrived on the scene in the 80s.. I don't think anyone in the industry realized how talented she actually is and the staying power shed have.
I admit I never thought she is a good singer. Only after hearing her "I drove all night" I realized that she has an outstanding voice that she can control like almost nobody else. I really don't remember who else could be compared to her skills.
She was underestimated, both as a singer and musician, but part of that I think was due to her persona, clownish, not someone to be taken seriously. I am not sure why she made that choice, as it took people quite a while to realize she is truly talented.
'I lied...' That's proof of many years of friendship, like a couple of teenagers. Love it. Pure talent on the balcony and on the stage. Cyndi killed it!
Im so Grateful that my mama introduced me to all the great artist and songs from the 60s 70s 80s 90s 00s from when she was growing up listening to. Still at the age of 33 i still would rather listen to all those artist and songs, instead of the music and artist in todays time.
These are true artists , true legends . They don't have an attitude , they're not afraid to show us their hearts,their emotions,their friendship. You realize how great artist Cindy is from the fact that she is 65 and the orchestra is leaning on her
Cyndi Lauper never disappoints. Her live performances are always memorable. A musical genuis who appears to get better with age. Her voice is just as impressive today as it was back in the 1980s. Such an honour for Cher to have Cyndi Lauper herself showing such respect and appreciation for Cher herself.
Oh my word, is that Mama Angelique Kidjo already on her feet at 0:53? Come on, mama - show these Americans there's no time to be in your seat when the chords got you!!! Love from South Africa.
My mama loved this song and she loved cyndi Lauper. ❤ I remember when we would be in the car and cyndi Lauper or any of the great singers from the 70s 80s 90s would come on the radio. We would be blasting it in the car while singing our lungs out. 😂❤
@@theevilascotcompany9255 but Tony just doesn't get much backlash for snubbing artists or actors as much as Grammys or Oscars. Personally, winning an Oscar is the most difficult to win especially that big five categories.
@@Chayenswee1 Yeah, but you don't need a big 5 category to win an Oscar to qualify for EGOT status, that's my point. Eminem has an Oscar, for instance. If he wrote a rap musical (which would be a great idea, I think) he'd probably get a Tony as well. You can also get an Oscar for financing/producing a low budget short film or short animated feature.
Cyndi nails it!! Cher looked well pleased. Both superstars!! Cher: You told me you were going to Los Angeles. Cyndi: I lied!! She wanted to surprise Cher!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Cyndi you made Cher very happy and everyone else!!! Such Joy!!
Idc who you are or what you say. The music, artist back than in the 60s 70s 80s 90s 00s was and always will be the greatest of all time, the best music, songs of all time, will always be the most greatest time, years of all the greatest songs, hits, and the most greatest artists. Today's music , artists won't ever be like back in the day.
I love this --- especially the beginning when Cher said she thought she was going to be in LA and true Cyndi - a great friend -- "I lied!" The music and singing is amazing, of course, but the friendship with "I lied" is the best!!!!
@@su-rv2uq Sonny was a great promoter for Cher. Cher's voice wasn't noteworthy in the beginning however Sonny made it happen. There's no doubt, that Cher a pretty young woman, with a great body and ambition, made Sonny's job easier.
Cyndi is so beautiful and vibrant. I lost track of her age so I looked it up. I cannot believe she is 66! She really knows how to get people moving and she's hilarious.
Loved how Cher called Cyndi out saying I thought you said that you were going to be in Los Angeles... Cyndi was like "I lied" 😂❤😂 I could see the two of them singing 'Girls just wanna have fun' song.
It seems like all the music and artists from the 60 70 80 90 00 will always be the greatest and best music to listen to into days time. It will always be a classic of music and artists from that time period.
Back in the day, singers can look all different act and dress weird but boy can they sing! And the songs? Absolute gems. They didnt need profanities. Just straight up words and music. Cindy looked fab!
IT is UNBELIEVABLE that Cjyndi can still rock it now just like she did back in the day. It shows great talent to get the room that was trying to be stuffy start loosening up> To see them all get up and start treating like the concert experience it was. Don't forget about Cher herself. It's unconceivable that so many people young, old, rockers, theater people, professionals, etc. all know the words to her songs. This tribute shows how beloved and relevant that Cher has been able to be. He career has spun decades and is still as relevant today as she was when she started out. The bridging of generational gaps, political divide and so many other things, is not something many artists can do. So awe inspiring both Cyndi and Cher.
There has been a deep friendship between Cher & Cyndi for quite a while. Cyndi has such a different voice to Cher but nailed this song perfectly. Cher certainly seemed to enjoy it
Cyndi has been such a bad ass for so many years! She is stunning and intelligent and one of my favorite vocalist from my youth that has stayed within my heart throughout my entire life.
I’ve seen Cyndi Lauper in concerts three times. She is phenomenal in front of a live audience. Up there with Bette Milder. Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand
Now, we need the Kennedy Center Honors to award Cyndi so we can have Cher singing "True Colors" in her honor. ❤️
Abso-freakin'-lutely!
Or Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
that'd be stunning
but can we handle True Colors that low??
Never been a truer thing said
That would be AMAZING!!
Cyndi Lauper turned back time and KILLED IT -- can we just consider the fact that when she performed this she was 65?! SIXTY-FIVE!!!!! Both Cher and Cyndi are LEGENDS!!!!
I love that she tried something out of her normal comfort zone and absolutely nailed the performance. So much fun to watch.
Their age disappears because they work hard to preserve their talent
You must be lying
I love Cyndi lauper and she definitely has some of the most known songs ever but I personally wouldn’t consider her a legend because her career didn’t stand the test of time and her career isn’t as big as it once was unlike Cher who’s one of the greatest artists In history and she has stood the test of time

Believe me
I always come back here to listen
Cyndi saying “I lied” how sweet their friendship is
I love how Cyndi says it and laughingly shrugs it off then is all business & rocks out. Totally FAB!
It's adorable 😊
Their REAl friendship is so fun
I love it! Such a great moment
ahahaha i do the same thing!!! just for those secs at the begening :P
Lauper was BORN to sing this song
Pienso lo mismo....le queda maravillosamente!
The older Cher gets the sexier she becomes, the older Cyndi gets the cuter she becomes, I’m not afraid to grow old now 🥰
Living in Sherryville don’t let them fool you that’s a lot of surgeries between both of them just saying I love both of them but come on now.
Living in Sherryville truth truth truth
you gonna be good girl
UGO Girl...It ain't all that bad....sometimes. Ha! 63 Stay Safe!
I'm sorry but Cher is ugly, just a fact
I think Cyndi deserves a nod for rock hall of fame too
Absolutely!
@@NANA-bb1hd She will, all in due time :)
How powerful is Cher's voice that it can be heard without a mic like that!
Agreed, but also it's a theater. It's acoustically designed so that everything said could be heard.
@@PokojniToza1804 if it was not for the way the theater was designed. You could not hear cher she is to soft spoken but dam can she sing
❤️ Cindy ❤️
Well, you do see Cher motioning / calling for a mic
Well God can be heard from anywhere?
She's up there all by herself, no dancers, no crazy effects.... killing it! I love Cyndi!
I mean who else than Cyndi Lauper can get everyone on their feet and get them to dance? Talk about freaking talent.
I know. I had chills! Cyndi Lauper BABY!!!!!!!!!!
Every show she does! See her live. You'll love it.
Kristin Chenoweth got them up on their feet
What about cher? this is a song of hers right?
@Adam Efimoff no, im fairly positive that it isnt venessa Redgrave. I've seen her shown at a couple of other Kennedy center honors, though, and would love to know who she is!
This woman is a performer from her core. She's an icon. She's the moment. She's it. She's a damn fireball.
You've hit it on the head -- a fireball.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? The woman is almost 70 and rocked the house down!!
Cyndi sure did rock it .....love her so much she's amazing. ..
Almost 70 - wow! I would never have guessed. I thought she was far younger than that. Shows age is just a number.
@@anitagordon7688
Q
They’re just jelly …lol
it's because Cyndi lied to them
Listen to the thrill in the audience's cheers when she is first announced in the first few seconds. real joy.
I have really joy too when somebody announce Cyndi Lauper
"U told me you are in Los Angeles!" - "I lied" 🤣 looooove this 😁👍🏻

You were going to Los Angeles
That type of friendship. 🤣
The amount of times I've come back here just to see Cyndi say, "I lied." 😂 It's the cutest thing ever.
YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE GOING TO LOS ANGELES!
I lied 💁🏼♀️
Even the woman behind her was mouthing what Cher said
"I lied."
And she gets the entire crowd on their feet!
Girl just wanna have fun 🤷
I love that that happened 🥰 CHER AND CYNDI FOREVER !!
STAND UP PEOPLE! IT'S CYNDI LAUPER, FOR GOD'S SAKE!

Seriously!! It was like they had no idea who or what they were in presence of. Stand up!!
@@whutvr2 EXACTLY!!!!!!
Kind of a lot of retired people in the audience, so maybe Cindy's music wasn't their music in their earlier years.....
Can we please acknowledge that this 65yr old badass is SINGING?!!! No lip syncing...actually SINGING.
yah these younger artists are short changing us at their concerts 😢
Finally one of the most talented and strongest women in music paying a very deserved tribute to a legend, although Cindy is a legend herself.
One of the most talented and strongest women in music listening to a legend.
Agreed! Don’t think anyone else could’ve done it better❤️
That would be Cyndi

They are both legends
She was so underestimated when she first arrived on the scene in the 80s.. I don't think anyone in the industry realized how talented she actually is and the staying power shed have.

She’s just one award away from an EGOT. A Legend in her own right
Cyndi rocked the house down! Hard to believe she’s turning 70 this year!
'I lied...' That's proof of many years of friendship, like a couple of teenagers. Love it. Pure talent on the balcony and on the stage. Cyndi killed it!
Cindy makes me believe you're never too '' old'' to be a perfect girl.
She's got charme, talent and beauty. She's awesome
They don't make the music and artists like that anymore. That actually put their soul and life into their music. Will always beat today's music.
At 65, most women would be grandmothers rocking their grandchildren to sleep. This woman looks and feels like a 20+ rocking the stage. What energy!
I don’t know what impresses more her voice or how she rocks those stilettos at 65!
I say both!
You can see it in Cher’s expression and smile Cyndi truly is a friend she loves and is happy to see. She really enjoyed watching her.
Cyndi Lauper is probably one of the few iconic artists still going strong today. Her performances are always memorable.
If it couldn't be Cher singing Cher, Cyndi Lauper singing Cher is a brilliant choice!
Im so Grateful that my mama introduced me to all the great artist and songs from the 60s 70s 80s 90s 00s from when she was growing up listening to. Still at the age of 33 i still would rather listen to all those artist and songs, instead of the music and artist in todays time.
I have lost count on how many times I have watched this, Cyndi Lauper is AMAZING and when she says "I lied" everyone is right it's so her.
Eu também perdi a conta nunca me canto de assistir.

and then Cindy's I Lied so Awesomely awkward but funny
So happy for Cher seeing her good friend belt out that song for her - they are both amazing 🤩 but I really love Cher 👏👏👍🇦🇺2022 January
Cyndi Lauper never disappoints. Her live performances are always memorable. A musical genuis who appears to get better with age. Her voice is just as impressive today as it was back in the 1980s. Such an honour for Cher to have Cyndi Lauper herself showing such respect and appreciation for Cher herself.
I never thought anyone could do this song except Cher but cyndi is knocking it out of the park
Who dares insult Cyndi!? This 42 y o sends curses! She was a mega star from before internet era, have some respect!😡
Gge was born in 1953, so 64 or 65 at in 2018.
Oh my word, is that Mama Angelique Kidjo already on her feet at 0:53?
Come on, mama - show these Americans there's no time to be in your seat when the chords got you!!!

Hear voice has not changed since her first album, “She’s So Unusual “. She is amazing.
I've ALWAYS loved Ms. Lauper.
Cyndi only needs to win an Oscar to have EGOT status...
And Cher only needs a Tony for EGOT.
The Tony's the hardest to win because there are so few categories. Cyndi could just write a song for a Disney movie and get her Oscar.
Somebody PLEASE just start getting Cyndi to write and perform for films. This woman is a gem - what an inspiration.

Shoutout to the woman who get everyone to stand up
‘That’ woman is Kristin Chenoweth... Quite a talented powerhouse herself...
I mean If Kristin Chenoweth told me to stand up you could put money on the fact that my ass would be out of that seat so fast.
Just in case you don't know Kristin Chenoweth is Glenda from wicked, among other roles she has played

Are you kidding me!?!?! I had no idea! Wow, a fabulous talent and beautiful.

She always looked younger. In fact, she was 30 when she came up with her solo debut.
Cyndi!!! You are magic. A true performance artist with a voice for the ages. You got everyone out of their seats and you can just see their joy ❤
Lauper is so special. Love her.
I'm in love since the 80s. Cindy and i grow old together. Even Cindy seems not to age like us normal mortals.
It took the audience long enough to finally get out of their seats to enjoy a legend on stage doing a tribute to another legend.

Cyndi Lauper retained her voice. Her voice did not age!
I saw Cyndi open for Cher in concert a few years back. It was legendary…the whole night! They just don’t make em like they used to.
Cyndi has been such a bad ass for so many years! She is stunning and intelligent and one of my favorite vocalist from my youth that has stayed within my heart throughout my entire life.
As someone somewhere already wrote, Cyndi is like your favorite cool quirky aunt that smuggles beer to teenage kids at family reunions.
Only the legend could pay a tribute for the legend....
How can anyone not love Cher I am 58 years old and i have loved her since i first saw her on the Sonny and Cher show when i was 10 years old
Cyndi gave a hell of a performance most of artist's of her time can't perform like this anymore Thank you Cyndi thank you Cher ❤️
I love her!
It's Cindy Lauper, a living Legend.

This is actually *REALLY* good. When I ran across this, I really didn't know what to think. 😍😎👏
After seeing this - don't tell me women are not as stunning, beautiful and talented when they grow old! Loved this sooooo much 😍
