After Clarkson pointed out that Cher was the only musician to have number 1 songs over seven decades, the Grammy Award winner noted that she and the Rolling Stones actually shared the accomplishment.

"Two of us have," Cher said. ""It took four of them to be one of me."

Cher is savage

"Can I just say one other thing?" Cher asked. "I changed music forever with ‘Believe.'"

Yup.

‘Believe’ is a trite song with her using a shitty autotuned voice.

How did it change anything for the better except escorting in a massive wave of more autotuned dross.

The auto tune isn’t supposed to be hidden, it’s used as an effect in the song. It’s obvious that it’s on purpose and anyone who thinks otherwise is really into huffing their own farts.

Now, it seems like Cher is taking credit for making dance music popular, which it already was. Believe didn’t change shit. That’s where Cher is huffing her own farts.

I never said it wasn’t on purpose but it’s still shit.

I think that's her point.

Although...she probably shouldn't compare herself to rock bands when the song she is most associated with---at least from a millennial standpoint---was written by half a dozen men (maybe... probably).

The rich and famous always forget how many people they had to step on to make it to the top, including in this case, her own fucking band. Cher and RRHoF are both shams.

She said nothing about making it better.
