Cher (born Cherilyn Sarkisian on May 20, 1946) is an American singer, actress, and television personality. Often referred to as the "Goddess of Pop” Cher is known for her distinctive contralto voice and her career spanning multiple decades and genres. My only criticism of her is that she used auto-tune on “Believe”( when she clearly didn’t need to) which was subsequently adopted by everyone and now we can’t get rid of it!
