However, their duet of Chers 1998 hit Believe received mix reactions online, with some branding Duas performance pitchy and underwhelming.

However, others pointed out that she may have been under-singing on purpose while her collaborator went full steam ahead.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote, Geez… Dua Lipa sounds terrible. If this was some singing competition, she would be out immediately.

Another added, Dua Lipa is quite literally singing live too that’s why we hear how awful most of it was.

Someone else agreed, Dua Lipa is me singing along with the radio.

A fourth stated, Anyone other than Cher singing these songs always sounds like bad karaoke, and that includes Dua Lipa, unfortunately. Cher’s voice totally blew her out of the water.

But a fifth rushed to her defense, asking, Am I the only one who thinks Dua Lipa was undersinging on purpose? Real Dua fans know she did not sing at full potential.

And a sixth pointed out, Dont forget that dua performed the day before for two hours in the royal Albert Hall.

Cher, herself, has admitted to using autotune on the track, admitting on The Jennifer Hudson Show this year: My record Believe was the first time auto-tune was ever used.

It was called pitch machine, and it happened because of an argument that I had with my producer.

The Turn Back Time songstress revealed she walked out on a studio session after being asked to sing it better over and over.

She added, But then he called me the next day, and he said, ‘Cher, I just got this thing in, it’s called a pitch machine. And I’m doing some things and give me a couple hours and then come in ‘cause I think I’ve got something really interesting.’”

After hearing the final product, the Grammy winner said, “We both jumped up and high-fived. It was just the emotion of it.”
