Just when the world thought they heard the last of Cher “Believe” drops and becomes the biggest hit of her career. Song still sounds good. I still think she has another huge hit in her. This song hit #1 in 31 countries. It was a massive global hit. One of the best selling songs of all time. I know at the time it was the biggest selling song by a female artist in the UK. Not sure if it’s still holds that title. Brilliant piece of work. Love this song.

Cher was 52 when she dropped this one and now in her 70s she still doing concerts and sounding just as good! Amazing! ☮️❤️🙏😎

"Believe" changed it all for Cher! The beginning of the "Cher effect" a.k.a. use of autotune in such a way. Amazing. Love this song.

This is what I’m talking about: yes it’s auto tune, but it’s not to cover bad vocals, it’s pure style and pure Cher. It may seem cliche now but I think this is the first time anyone had ever heard Autotune, so this was revolutionary. And as a young closeted person who discovered this song at 12 back in 2001, this song absolutely helped me along my journey of self-discovery. Cher was my first concert when I was 14 and I’ll never forget it.

Never underestimate the power of Cher. She's everything and the great thing about this song is it uses auto tune in the right places and as an effect, not a way to make someone sound better. Cher can sing and this is really a strong empowerment song if people would take the time to read the lyrics. Will always love this song.

Absolutely love this song ,and it definitely really brought Cher back into the limelight ,and rightly so!! Cher is still belting them out today.Such an amazing voice.

Another great reaction! Cher is the ultimate bad ass. She went through so much in her life and always seemed to come out on top. Whenever I went through a break-up in my life, Cher was there for me.

She's sultry and GORGEOUS TOO 🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love this song! I love Cher! She’s incredible!!!🥰 For 60s 70s Cher, you should check out Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down, I Got You Babe, Dark Lady, or Gypsies Tramps And Thieves 😁 You should also check out Adam Lambert’s cover of Believe, when he honored Cher at the 2018 Kennedy Center Honors!! He literally made her cry!😦😭

Hey man, that's an unusual reaction, but yet I really feel it. I love Cher, seen her several times live. I guess we all experience that at some point, the prior and the present. I appreciate your comments.

Believe marks a deep transformation in Cher's personal life and her career. In pop music, Believe album was the hallway to more artists following the autotune effect in their performative work. Personally, I pretty much prefer her's rock/ballad vibes from the '80s. Believe song teaches us that all of us are resilient enough to survive after a heartbreak. Take care Anton :)

"Personally, I pretty much prefer her's rock/ballad vibes from the '80s." I concur.

I Remember hearing just a snippet of this song and called a friend and had her listen. I told her this is gonna be a huge hit. Tada! This is the first song and artist to ever use that auto-tune process. So you can thank Cher or be mad that she invented no talent singers. haha. BTW! Take a look at Adam Lambert singing this song at the Kennedy Center Honors Cher. It's a totally different take on the song and lyrics.

This song just brings genuine joy to my heart everytime I hear those opening moments.

Excited for this reaction!!! It was a HUGE club song and probably still is. XD

I love Cher! This is one of my favorites and I also love "If I Could Turn Back Time" Enjoyed your reaction!😉

Legend. We can never count someone out. Aretha did in mid 80's with "Freeway of Love" and a duet with George Michael "I knew you were waiting" HUGE. Natalie Cole, "Pink Cadillac" "Miss you like crazy" etc.....Then Cher. She also released "Strong enough" and we lost our minds on the dance floor. And a few years prior to "Believe" She released a Song Called "One" but it was a ballad. This was around the time when DJ's would take a ballad and remix the h$$ out of it. Toni Braxton, "Unbreak my heart" Deborah Cox, Tamia, and Mariah, Mariah, Mariah, Whitney Houston. They remixed Cher "One by One" The junior Vasquez mix - classic. calorie burner.

I love your reaction. My gosh, I heard that song playing at someone's Bat Mitzvah! I always loved her since I heard her first song with Sonny.

Adam Lambert did the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard. He sang this in front of Cher at the Kennedy Honors for her. It brought her to tears. It was totally amazing and so sensitive. Much slower pace. If you get a chance it would be a good comparison for you and your listeners.

Not the best but pretty good. The original will never be topped.

This song/music video brings back memories of my younger days. I remember being at my first school dance dancing or singing to this song :)

Cher has had a #1 Single in EVERY DECADE for SIX DECADES in a row.

You should check out Adam Lambert's version that he performed for Cher at The Kennedy Center Honors. She cried. He turned it into a powerful ballad!

Great song and I’ve seen her in concert twice and she always be an awesome singer and puts on a great show, and she has many great hits you need to venture out to listen to them and she has had a top 10 hit in every decade since the 60’s

Such an amazing song 💜💜💜💜😍

I think when we hear songs in the moment when they come out, we don’t usually appreciate them until we’ve either gone through some sh*t or been in the same situation as the song and they take on a new meaning or make the connection. And other times the rip is out of our location and we get taken back to the moment we heard them and we can remember how our room was laid out and the clothes we were wearing even down to the scents we would use.

Anton, please follow this up with “strong enough” another great song by Cher.

On YT you can find the original demo. It was recorded on early 90's. It took almost a decade to release and some changes on the lyrics... its crazy!

This was my coming out song!!!

I started dying when you got hype at the chorus! XD The nostalgia and understanding as an adult when you hear music from your past makes it that much more enjoyable because you understand the words better.

You really should check out her earlier music made with Sonny Bono. They defined the word "hip" in the 1960's, and it was actually pretty good. "The Beat Goes ON' and "I Got You , Babe" are classic 60's.

Such an Awesome Song!! 🎵🎧❤👄

It's Cher... what's not to love? She's such an awesome lady and performer. I was a little kid in the late '60s when I first heard her voice [with Sonny Bono on "I Got You Babe"] and have been one of her adoring fans ever since. In my vision of Heaven, God puts me in a wilderness setting, with a nice log home 100 feet from a tranquil lake surrounded by forest and tall, snow-capped mountains. Cher and Dolly Parton are on the porch swing, singing and smiling as Beth Hart stands next to the canoe, yelling at me to hurry the hell up because it's my turn to paddle. As I start to get in, Lzzy Hale shows up with sandwiches and beer, which is cool because the canoe is big enough for three. Paradise, baby! ;)

Love this song

Living Legend!

Have Always enjoyed Cher! She doesn't need auto tune. Feel like I'm back in the NYC Clubs!! Ck out The Kennedy Honors Adam Lambert does this Song as a ballad. BTW..Those are cocktail straws in her hair!!

I love when you get deep about stuff. You don't just analyze the music, you really go into talks about life itself, including the difficult things. Very refreshing!

Anton, now you should watch Adam Lambert at the Kennedy Center Honors as he sings this song. Powerful is all I’ll say. Watch Cher’s reaction. 👍🏼❤️

Love it so many memories 😁

she imbodies the crone aspect of the trilogy. the wise one, the one who has lived her life her way and still burns with passion.

We called this one "Underwater Cher" because of the computer enhancement on the voice. :) She was amazing in concert and I met her twice. She's a genuinely nice person! She looked like a drag queen in her stage makeup which was cool to see.

She is very a few artists that my mom And I can enjoy together 😅

Yes this was some early use of auto tune, but it was only used to add a techno electronic effect to her voice as a special effect. Auto tune later got a bad rap for improving bad voices. But people forget that it has many uses where you can add special effects to voices for emphasis. This is actually a fantastic song with a lot of meaning.

I read somewhere that this may have been the first major song to be auto tuned, don’t know if that’s true they actually said they thought it was the first. The album is amazing I would suggest D’ove L’amore as a follow up

Please look at Adam Lambert's version , In front of Cher, at an Awards Show! He captivated Cher!!! Thanks for sharing your reactions, I Enjoy them!

This video was uploaded on my birthday - what a lovely gift! 🙏 I fell in love with this song when I got the "Believe" album, back in ... it must have been Christmas of '98? I was nine years old. 😊 I know every song on that album by heart, heh. Cher is an absolute queen, for eternity! 💖 Oh and I have to say, the use of the auto-tune was very tastefully done, in that it was never used to get her voice in tune - because she wouldn't need help with that. But it gave the song as a whole an otherworldly feel in a way, and made it very, very contemporary too. Damn, so many memories flowing back to me now ... 🥲

Believe is ONE of her most famous. Cher's been making hits since the 60s. I Got You Babe was massive in the 60s, as was If I Could Turn Back Time in the 80s (I would call this one her most famous). Believe was her most famous 90s song though. Auto-Tune however was already being used - no, she WASN'T the first - to help correct the odd flat or sharp note by some vocalists. But if you weren't careful with its use, it would sound fake and robotic (like it does in Believe). So in Believe, they deliberately mis-use auto-tune to get that robotic effect you hear.

There are singers and there are entertainers, Cher (like Bette Midler) besides be a good singer understands performance which gives her the ability to take a song beyond what others might do with the same song.

One off my favourite songs Cher believe great song was 8 weeks at number in UK loved your reaction

I love your surprised reaction to this song. I especially enjoyed you getting into the song with head shaking, singing, and smiling. Great reaction. Thanks.

When this song came out I just broke up with someone and I started to realize that thier was more out there for me all though he kept trying to mess with my head and feelings. I realize it wasn't love it was control and I needed to be the one in control of my life not others

😘😘😘😘😘

In one of the live versions from VH1 Divas Live she sang it 100% live and did a fantastic job, no autotume involved

I actually agree with you by watching these reactions I’m actually now listening to the words that I never paid attention to in the past

Remember being 11yrs old when this came out & was instantly obsessed. Made my mum buy the cassette for me. If she ever suspected I was gay before then, that moment certainly sealed the deal in her mind. If you know and like the song chances are you’re a 90’s child, gay or both.

Cher said something like this about Madonna: I only use auto tune as an effect. Not all the time.

Cher used auto tune at first cuz she liked the way it made her voice sound, she liked the futuristic sound and wanted to go with it, it took them years to come out with this song

jejejejeje me encanta tu reacción y la comparto. es emocionante sentir y ver a Cher. provoca bailar!!! i love it!!!🙃

Believe this song is genial:) producer this music is genius:*

Anton do you believe!!!

Loved your reaction and dance moves! Hahaha

The only artist to have a number one song in seven consecutive decades. The first time auto tune was used for effect and it caught the music industry unaware. They kept the secret of how they did it for some time.

Beautiful deep analysis of the lyrics Anton (and sorry to hear about what happened with your cousin years ago) ❤️

24 years later and this still gets lots of play in the gay dance scene. She used auto-tune in this to show what could be done with it, but not because she needed it.

You have to listen to „You haven’t seen the last of me“ her most emotional and powerful song

your genuine enthusiasm analogy honesty is so infectious appealing interesting even on tracks i don't like (this NOT being one of them) as are your life experiences you speak about.as always your smile is so beautiful and genuine. Always a pleasure and always uplifting. Thank you.

The record sold millions!!

Adam Lambert did his take on this song for Cher’s Kennedy Center Honors tribute, you should check it out. Amazing.

"Believe" is the biggest-selling single by a female artist of all time! I guess CHER must have been doing something right throughout her amazing career!

You need to check out her 1975 album, STARS. To ME, this is some of her best work. Check it out!!!

Check out her jam “Bad Love” from the Foxes soundtrack….

Believe is one of my MANY fav Cher songs!! The other Cher songs you’ve reacted to r all also INCREDIBLE. I would definitely check out some songs from Living Proof, Song for the Lonely and Different Kind of Love Song are amazing songs and u can look up The Music’s No Good Without You, Alive Again, When the Moneys Gone, and Love one Another too and see what you think. I Walk Alone is from her Closer To the Truth album and I strongly recommend checking out Woman’s World and maybe Take it Like a Man and I Hope You Find It while your at it. From her Dancing Queen album, oh god, trying to think which ones u might like. Maybe Gimme Gimme Gimme a Man After Midnight. That’s a tremendous abba cover. And perhaps SOS too.

Adam Lambert's version is what Cher WANTED this song to be. But the bosses made her make it into a dance track.

The auto tune was intentional. But if you noticed was not in the chorus.

Did you react to Cher’s “Strong Enough” yet or “One By One”?

The one where a certain part Armenian songstress 'swallowed' a computer and became more of a hit!

Believe was her best album in my opinion!

You need to do We All Sleep Alone!!

Great reaction Anton. Someone may have already mentioned this, but auto-tune was still pretty new at this time. This song is well known for the auto-tuning, because Cher was the first artist (I think) to use it in this way for "special effects" or the overall mysterious sound (for lack of a better word). It was not improve her actual voice; she certainly didn't need it for that!

"One By One" or "Love and Understanding" next.

But the European One by One or the dance remix. Not the watered down American LP version.

I usually like one or two song here and there. It's rare for me to like multiple songs from an artist. However, the entire Living Proof album was amazing. It came out a couple of years after this one.

Reacts "Strong Enough" ....The Best Single

Cher's voice is gorgeous without the auto-tune but it seems that all artists at some point in the late 90's early 2000s did a song or two in auto tune.

Interesting thing about this song, it was the very first song that used auto tune. She used it to enhance the sound rather than to cover for bad vocals. The entire industry was outed because basically no one outside of the industry knew Auto tune even existed.

Cher walking in memphis or One by one

I think the auto tune works for this song! It isn't classical music it's a huge club song!!

According to her interview with Kelly Clarkson she did autotune because the chorus was horrible without autotune. And her and her producer tried so hard to figure out what was missing and mark her producer played with the pitch machine and that’s how autotune became a thing. Look up Chers interview on believe with Kelly Clarkson and Cher gives a whole history on how they made believe. Also Cher was dropped from her record label prior to working with mark and making believe.

Funny thing is that they knew that Cher would not need the autotuner to correct her singing. They just decided to go over the top with it by using extreme settings for the clipping effect. Littlle did they know that they released a genie out of the bottle to be the bane of every pop song there would be, but it isn't their fault. The song is structured to a decent pop song format. Verse - bridge - chorus - b- part - slowing down a bit, back to chorus - out.

Awesome Song Dude!! You are Beautiful!💋❤🎶🎵🎧

Another huge comeback in a career full of them. Can't count the number of times she's been written off as done. Remarkable to have the biggest hit of her career at that age. Think she was 52 at the time. Easily the oldest female to have a #1 and that still holds true today. Things had improved in the 80's with Tina, Dionne, Aretha, and others having hits in their 40's, but we've backslid again with all the youth worship. In general, if you're a woman, turning 40 is the death knell for your hit making days.

Amo vc 🇧🇷🇧🇷

In 1998, with this song, Cher earned the title of "oldest female to have a #1 hit song on the charts". She still holds that title today, 24 years later. It's pretty bad that she was about 52 at the time and there hasn't been a single woman older than that to get a #1 hit in that time. It shows the industry's ageism towarda women.

Hello! Please make reactions to "music's no good without you", "you haven't seen the last of me", "all or nothing", "song for the lonely", "alive again", "Dov'e L'amore" of Cher

So glad you finally got to this one! Cher's global hit, bigger than just about any other artist...sold over 100 million singles / downloads. AutoTune is sometimes derided as designed for singers with weaker or substandard voices....Cher certainly doesn't fit that metric, but she decided to use it first and made a universal hit out of it. Others have followed using it, many with weaker voices. Cher, as only Cher can do let everyone know, through her decades of vocal mastery, chose to use this effect to enhance, not cover up....

What was this her fifth Come back? Wonderful pop song love you

It's not auto tune It's a vocoder. Auto tune is used to correct a singers vocals.

Cher started the Autotune this was her comeback song and Disco

Yes it uses autone...but if you listen closely most of it is her actual deep voice. Like the chorus isn't autoned. They do it heavy anyone's live in the chorus because it the hardest part to sing. This song to me actually has the best balance of anyone and actual voice. Plus even during the autone, you can still hear a hint of her real voice behind it.

Shhh .You´re screaming!!! 🤣😂
