In the “That’s My Jam” episode, the Hollywood singer spun a wheel that prompted him to make a musical impression.

Adam knew how to wow everyone.

Upon seeing what was chosen for him, Lambert burst into joyous laughter.

“Do you have a Cher in you?” asked Jimmy. Adam immediately answered, “I got it, I got it.”

It was an unpredictable performance.

Adam started by easing out to the tune of Cher’s famous dance song “Believe” while the Jam Band played its chords in the background.

He started singing while using the lyrics from The Muffin Man song.

The host, together with Chloe Bailey, Simu Liu, and Halle Bailey, could not figure out how the singer-songwriter could so easily pull it off.

He really is a true American Idol.

After winning in the eighth season of the singing television series, Adam released some albums, earning a Grammy award nomination.

He also became the lead singer of Queen in 2012 and has been constantly touring the globe to showcase his talent.

Lambert was inspired by many singers like Lady Gaga and Freddie Mercury, and undoubtedly by Cher herself.

He’s the best kind of fan.

Despite being asked to deliver a spot-on performance inspired by a known American singer, Adam flawlessly put a spin on Cher’s song while performing The Muffin Man at the same time.

The Muffin Man song was first noted in a British manuscript from the 1800s.

The man who was brought to life in the song was thought to be a person who delivers English muffins or baked goods to Victorian households.

Even Cher couldn’t help but praise Adam.

A tribute to Cher was done in 2018 at the 41st Annual Kennedy Center, where Lambert was also one of the performers.

Adam nailed this off-the-cuff performance, and it was so moving that Cher left a tweet about it on her profile.

It’s impossible not to love.

I mean, not anyone could channel the “goddess of pop” and hold up to the expectations.

Plus, you have to be pretty creative to make use of “The Muffin Man” lyrics the way he did.

Yet, Adam was able to do all of it and appear as if he was just having the time of his life on stage.

He’s still a rock star.

His previous performances and trademark definitely show how great he can be.
