19 DEC 2023 · Cher's Reaction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Snub: A Symphony of Sarcasm and Sass Cher's absence from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been a long-standing source of debate and, well, Cher-level shade. The iconic singer, with a career spanning seven decades and countless hits, has never been inducted, despite being eligible since 1999. Her response to this ongoing snub has been a masterclass in self-assuredness, sarcasm, and good old-fashioned Cher-ness. Early Days: Confusion and Disbelief: Initially, Cher seemed puzzled by the exclusion. In 2012, she expressed surprise during an interview, stating, "I don't really understand this rock and roll thing. I mean, I'm in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame of England already, so I don't know what's the matter with their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame here." Turning Up the Sass: As the years passed and the snub continued, Cher's responses grew more pointed and playful. In 2017, she tweeted, "Just found out I'm not nominated for the Rock Hall again. Maybe next year... (If not, I'm starting my own museum called 'Cher’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame')" Refusing to Play the Game: When Kelly Clarkson asked her about the snub on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in 2023, Cher's response was emphatic and unapologetic. "You know what," she said, "I wouldn't be in it now if they gave me a million dollars. I'm never gonna change my mind. I mean, they can just you-know-what themselves." Beyond the Snub: Confidence and Legacy: While the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame may not recognize Cher, her impact on music and pop culture is undeniable. With a career that seamlessly shifted through genres like pop, rock, disco, and funk, she's earned Grammys, Oscars, and a loyal fanbase spanning generations. A Complex Relationship: Cher's relationship with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame remains a fascinating point of contention. While some argue her influence and musical achievements warrant induction, others question whether her diverse career fits neatly into the institution's definition of "rock and roll." Whether or not the Hall eventually welcomes Cher into its fold, one thing is certain: she's already built her own Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the hearts of millions of fans. And that, as Cher would say, is all that matters. Bonus Information:
- Cher is one of only four artists to have a No. 1 hit in each of the past seven decades, alongside the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, and Madonna.
- She has sold over 100 million records worldwide.
- Her 1998 hit "Believe" is one of the best-selling singles of all time.
