It remains to be seen, of course, if this year was a breakthrough or an opportunistic exception. In the meantime, the production itself, divided as always into five distinct segments and directed by Glenn Weiss, unfolded as a kind of superstore of acts, mostly musical but some spoken or comic. Gloria Estefan, a 2017 honoree, served as master of ceremonies for a cast that included such luminaries as Renée Fleming, Cyndi Lauper, Herbie Hancock, Kristin Chenoweth, S. Epatha Merkerson, Amanda Seyfried, Adam Lambert, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Koh, Esperanza Spalding and St. Vincent.
[Adam] Lambert, turning up for the Cher tribute, made an event high point of Cher’s 1998 hit “Believe,” and Lauper materialized immediately after and got the audience on its feet to bop along with “If I Could Turn Back Time.” From the Opera House box that the winners shared with such officials as Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., a glowing Cher could be seen, tearfully taking in the moment.
What a wonderful Sunday it was.
ReplyDeleteHappy Hanukkah Adam!
Adam was definitely "an event highlight!" Glad we Glamberts aren't the only ones to think so. Wow! That boy can SING! Love the fact that he was performing in front of a star-studded audience, filled with show biz celebs and political figures as well.
ReplyDeleteSure wish he'd crack a smile a bit on the red carpet. LOL
Delighted to see Adam was a "highlight"...as usual. He always makes any song his own! I'm sure Cher was pleased.
ReplyDeleteBut I agree with you, Dee R Gee, he needs to show his warmth, charisma and brilliant smile more in the red carpet photos... He seems a bit "withdrawn" here, and also in other recent red carpet events, IMO.
Can't wait to see this, Adam always leaves a mark or in this case highlight anywhere he performs where the public are not Glamberts. Just perfection.
ReplyDeleteAdam is inimitable as always!!!!
ReplyDeleteAdam looks fabulous....to die for him.
