When the Wheel of Musical Impressions landed on Cher, Adam Lambert didn’t just rise to the challenge—he elevated a childhood nursery rhyme into a full-blown diva moment. The instant the iconic deep, smoky vibrato kicked in, Lambert became Cher—head tilt, dramatic pauses, and all—transforming “Do you know the Muffin Man?” into a sultry, slow-burning anthem. Dressed in head-to-toe sleek black, he leaned into every exaggerated vowel, tossing in playful growls, spoken-word purrs, and even a flawless Cher-esque side-eye that sent Jimmy Fallon (and the entire audience) into fits of laughter.
The band dialed up the camp with moody synths and a slinky, seductive groove, while Lambert hammed it up like a Vegas-era Cher trapped in a Drury Lane fever dream.
By the time he drawled the final “…who lives on Drury Lane?” with peak Cher drama, it was clear: Nobody else could turn a silly kids’ song into a vocal tour de force—and make it look this effortless. Comedy? Check. Vocal sorcery? Double-check. Just another night in the gloriously extra world of Adam Lambert.
