John Legend

Really? I know, like, a couple songs from, like, Lady Gaga.

I know all of me by John Legend.

I like

how you do unemployed activities when you're,

That's what men want.

John Legend had this song says, "Just give me the green light."

Mm-hmm.

So a man that's going to pursue you is going to pursue.

And just as I'd given up-

See ya, John

...

All Day delivered.

You memorize it, and you come in and you do those verses.

And then if you're good, you kind of make a bit of stuff off the cuff as y- while you're there.

Uh, John Legend's wife, Chrissy Teigen, posted it and said, "He sounds like a magician." I was at a pub across from the Tower of London.

The bartender's going, "Don't I know you from a YouTube video? Are y- are you Snipes?" E- even every workplace I've been in, eventually, like, eventually someone goes, "Hold on a minute." When the whole TikTok thing happened after COVID, it gained new life.

All

right, next we got, before we get to these wins and losses, A.B. Pharrell announces that he got brand new projects coming out with Pusha T as a solo joint, The Clips, and also he working on the John Legend joint.

I heard something that Pharrell just did.

That shit was amazing.

Nuts.

With John Legend? No, it was a song.

I can't think of what it was, but it was something he just put out with somebody.

It might have been Lil Baby.

We got a

John Legend album entirely produced by Pharrell coming out two weeks after this.

Okay.

Yeah.

Who were the, the judges on The Voice when you were on this spring?

It was John Legend, Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson.

Yeah.

It was three.

So, um, well, you do a lot of interviews on the show, and they constantly ask you this question, like, constantly.

It's probably, like, one of the only questions that they ask.

Um, I feel like I always thought I was gonna choose Team Legend if I had the chance to because I felt like John Legend, like, his, the way that he sings and performs his songs is, is something that, like, I look up to a lot, but also I was thinking, like, Kelly Clarkson, like, she's so incredible, but, like, I know all the good people are gonna get on her team, and I, if I go on her team, I'm gonna be scared, and I'm not, like, I'm, I have to go up against the people that are on my team.

So, um, I j- I just thought of it, like, a little bit that way, but I looked at John, like, more of, like, admiration, whereas Adam Levine, I felt like he was really poppy to me and, like, really, like, kind of rock star energy, and I wasn't really giving that at the moment.

Won and been nominated, uh, with the, in the Latin Grammys before, but also to translate that into, you know, the, the general universal Grammys, it was a l- a lot of fun.

And to be able to be nominated with amazing artists like John Legend that year and, uh, you know, Alice Cooper and some others, it, it was just a really, uh, exciting thing for us, and to actually win it was, like, amazing of course.

Um, but yeah.

And then now with, uh, uh, the latest record, Hasta Lavista, Baby!, it's taking that, you know, the same approach of, of songs that are really enjoyable, fun for everyone to l- to listen to and, uh, and be able to translate that fun that we have in the studio to the audience has been great.

Yeah, we're in an interesting time, you know? We're, we're...

Especially with how easily accessible everyone seems to be with social media, right? We can go to...

We could pull up, you know, Ariana Grande or, or John Legend or any of... any artist that, that we like, like right now, you know, if you wanted to pull them up, and you could s- you could send a message to them or like, you know, feel like you're having that, that interaction with, with the artist.

And, and it's n- it's kind of, in a way, you know, superficial because w- there's no real depth to, to that because it's just very easy, very, y- you know, here we go, here we are.

Some other ones.

John Legend, A Good Night.

The very first line, he's like, I think I just met my wife.

That Elton John, Britney Spears, Hold Me Closer.
