Cher’s most recent: a daring denial of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! The pop icon recently showed her extreme contempt for the organization in an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, saying that they can basically “go you-know-what themselves.”
With seven decades’ worth of No. 1 hits under her belt, Cher jokingly noted that it took four Rolling Stones members to achieve what she had.
Cher was very clear in the open discussion that she wouldn’t consider being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, even if she were offered a million dollars. She laughed and said, “I will never change my mind.” They are free to do as they please.”
Cher joins the list of musicians who have publicly expressed their disapproval of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with this unfiltered response. The well-known singer expressed these feelings in a recent Consequence post.
Cher has never been nominated for a Rock Hall Induction
Surprisingly, Cher has never been nominated for a Rock Hall Induction despite being eligible for one since 1991, as Ultimate Classic Rock points out.
Cher’s contributions have not been honored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, despite her first No. 1 hit with the legendary Sonny and Cher song “I Got You, Babe” in 1965 and more recent success with “DJ Play a Christmas Song” topping the Billboard Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart in October.
When Cher states, “I transformed the music scene with ‘Believe,'” she is highlighting her significant influence on the music industry, and it’s pretty hard to argue with that. Even though Cher was not honored by the Rock Hall, she is still well-known in the music industry.
Notable people like Kate Bush, Rage Against the Machine, Willie Nelson, and Missy Elliott are among the 2023 Rock Hall inductees. Despite Cher’s lack of Hall of Fame recognition, her Christmas album, which includes songs with Stevie Wonder, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Bublé, and even Tyga, is still available.
Cher tases about ‘Mamma Mia 3’
Cher discussed her first Christmas album, “Christmas,” and her endearing reaction when she asked Stevie Wonder to work with her.
She also discusses what first prompted her to investigate the genre. The well-known singer examines her experiences as a dyslexic child and shares a personal journey. Cher also mentions the potential for “Mamma Mia 3!” and her acting comeback.
More about Cher
The American singer, actress, and television personality Cher is commonly referred to as the “Goddess of Pop” by the media. She is well known for standing for female independence in an area where men have traditionally held the majority of the authority.
Cher has made a name for herself in a number of entertainment industries thanks to her distinctive contralto singing voice and ability to rock a variety of looks and styles. She became well-known in 1965 as one-half of the folk-rock duo Sonny & Cher. She had a very prosperous solo career over the next sixty years.
Once Cher and Sonny Bono became successful, she went on to release her first two solo top-ten hits, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)” and “You Better Sit Down Kids.” With US Billboard Hot 100 number-one hits like “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves,” “Half-Breed,” and “Dark Lady,” she achieved chart-topping success in the 1970s, becoming the female solo artist with the most number-one singles in US history at the time.
With the release of the hit album “Take Me Home” in 1979, Cher made a successful disco comeback following her 1975 divorce from Bono.
With the release of rock-infused albums like “Cher” (1987), “Heart of Stone” (1989), and “Love Hurts” (1991), she experienced a musical comeback in 1987. These albums featured hit singles like “I Found Someone,” “If I Could Turn Back Time,” and “Save Up All Your Tears.”
