Chappell Rosan was appointed to give an award speech at Cyndi Lauper's induction at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Rock Hall) which was held at Peacock Theater, Los Angeles last weekend.

Roan started his speech with a firm statement. The 27-year-old singer said Lauper had shown how best art came from authentic people.

In my opinion, we all agree that the best works of art come from the most authentic people. When artists stay loyal to themselves, even when some say they are too over, too harsh, too eccentric, or all, honesty is their greatest strength," said Rosan.

The 'Good Luck, Babe!' singer said what Lauper has done through his music career has inspired many people to be more daring to be themselves.

That courage is what not only creates extraordinary art, but also gives permission to everyone who experiences it to be themselves. It opens their hearts, changes their minds, and that's the power," said Rosan.

Tonight, we respect a woman who redefined what pop star looks like, sounds, sings, and becomes. A musical legend whose authenticity has inspired us over the past four decades with a vocal reach of four of his octaves, the outstanding Cyndi Lauper," he continued.

"It's not enough there, Rosan conveys further respect for Lauper. Cyndi realizes every quality of an artist that I admire," he said.

He is a true performer and revolutionary songwriter, an icon of eternal fashion, as well as a advocate and a persistent ally. And from the start, he had every inch of himself' beaded and panicked hair, all the fingerless gloves that were cool, and vocals layered, dynamic, and uniquely unique... Can I hear a bit of noise for his vocals?

Taking a personal point of view, Rosan also reminisced about how Lauper had had an impact on the start of his career. "One of Cyndi's most inspiring songs for me personally was True Colors. When I was 14 years old, I performed True Colors at a talent search event in my hometown of Missouri. It was the first time I won a singing competition, and it was very important to me since then."

Furthermore, Rosan shared Lauper's musical journey, starting from the beginning of his career in the cover band, then to Blue Angel, to achieving great success as a soloist. In addition, he also mentioned several roles of Lauper that inspired many people.

As a form of respect, Lauper, who appears authentic as usual, sang True Colors as part of the multi-artisic performance segment.

In his acceptance speech, Lauper highlighted how his musical journey could not be separated from other female musicians who preceded him.

"I just want to say that I know I stand on the shoulders of women in the industry who came before me, and my shoulders are wide enough to accommodate the women who came after I stood on my shoulders," Lauper said.

"And the other thing that I think is so important" that's why I really came here tonight was to tell you that a child in me still believes rock 'n' roll can save the world, "he concluded.
