HOME IS GOING.
♪ I WILL SURVIVE ♪
>> Fiona: THERE SHE IS.
GLORIA GAYNOR HERSELF IS HER
GRAMMY-WINNING ARTIST.
DID YOU EVER THINK THAT WOULD BE
ONE OF THE MOST GO-TO KARAOKE
SONGS?
>> I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT IN
REGARDS TO THAT SONG, NO.
>> Mike: AGAIN, EVERYBODY
KNOWS IT.
EVEN THOSE OF US WHO SING VERY
BADLY.
WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU WERE PREWARNED.
BUT THAT GIVES YOU A LITTLE
SMILE WHEN EVERYBODY SINGS THAT
SONG.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
IT LETS ME KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN
BLESSED WITH SOMETHING THAT IS
BRINGING HOME AND ENCOURAGEMENT
AN POWER TO EVERY NATIONALITY,
RACE, CREED, COLOR, AND AGE
GROUP.
>> Fiona: IT IS SUCH A SONG OF
EMPOWERMENT.
EVEN BAC THEN, FOR WOMEN.
AND EVEN NOW BECAUSE YOU HAVE
CHANGED THE LYRICS, IT'S STILL A
SONG OF EMPOWERMENT.
>> Mike: AND YOU TOOK IT A
STEP FURTHER TO HELP OUT THOSE
AFFECTED BY HARVEY.
>> I WAS TOUCHED BY WHAT WAS
HAPPENING TO THEM ON TV AND FELT
I NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING MORE
THAN JUST CALL AN ORGANIZATION
AND GIVE A CHECK.
>> Mike: WELL, CAN YOU PLEASE?
THERE'S A MICROPHONE.
WOULD YOU PLEASE SING A LITTLE
FOR US?
THAT ONE RIGHT THERE.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
>> Fiona: YES!
>> Mike: THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
FANTASTIC.
AND, LIKE YOU SAID, IN OTHER
TRAGEDIES LIKE HURRICANE KATRINA
YOU WERE OUT OF THE COUNTRY BUT
YOU FELT COMPELLED TO GO THERE.
YOU SAID YOU WERE IN HOUSTON
YESTERDAY.
>> I WAS IN HOUSTON YESTERDAY
AND I WAS GIVING THESE T-SHIRTS
AT DIFFERENT HOMELESS SHELTERS
AND PLACES LIKE THAT.
WE SANG AT A CHURCH.
AND THESE T-SHIRTS ARE AVAILABLE
IWILLSURVIVE.ORG AND 100% OF
THE PROCEEDS ARE GOING TO THE
PEOPLE IN TEXAS.
>> Mike: YOU SAID SINGING IN
NURSING HOMES.
>> IT WAS SO HEART WRENCHING TO
SEE THEM THERE.
THEY NEED ENOUGH HELP AS IT IS,
BUT WHEN THEY ARE GOING THROUGH
SOMETHING LIKE THAT IT'S EVEN
MORE.
AND I'M PROPOSING TO HELP THEM
EVEN MORE BY HAVING DONE A NEW
GOSPEL ALBUM.
THIS ALBUM TELLS ABOUT THE HELP
AND THE SUPPORT AND THE LOVE AND
THE MERCY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.
AND IT'S CALLED "TESTIMONY" AND
I'M HOPING THAT WILL BRING AS
MUCH HOPE A ENCOURAGEMENT.
>> Mike: IT' AT LA CANTERA
TONIGHT.
YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THAT
SALIVE.COM.
YOUR FAVORITE SONG IS --
>> IT'S CALLED I WILL SURVIVE.
I CHANGED THE TITLE SO PEOPLE
WOULDN'T THINK IT WAS THE SAME
SONG.
IT'S CALLED "I WILL SURVIVE" BUT
I CHANGED IT TO "HE GAVE ME
LIFE."
IT'S ABOUT THE LOVE OF GOD AND
HOW HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU.
>> Fiona: YO HAVE PERFORMED
"I WILL SURVIVE" AT STUDIO 54
AND YOU WERE TELLING ME A CUTE
STORY ABOUT JULIO.
>> I WENT UP AND SANG "I WILL
SURVIVE" IN SPANISH.
[SINGING IN SPANISH
>> Fiona: WOO!
I LOVE THAT!
>> Mike: THAT IS FANTASTIC.
AND THAT WAS JUST STRICTLY
GOING, OKAY.
I'LL JUMP UP ON STAGE.
>> YEAH.
>> Fiona: SO JULIO GOT SHY AND
YOU STEPPED UP.
>> Mike: THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
WONDERFUL.
WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING?
>> WHAT KEEPS ME GOING IS THE
ABILITY -- KNOWING THAT I'M
STILL ABLE TO BE RELEVANT AND
I'M STILL ABLE TO BE OF SERVICE
TO OTHER PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, WE SAY I DON'T WANT
ANYBODY TO USE ME.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE USED.
WE JUST DON'T WANT TO BE
MISUSED.
WE WANT TO BE USEFUL.
THE ONLY SIGN OF LIFE IS GROWTH.
SO LEARNING AND GROWING AND
GIVING AND BEING OF SERVICE TO
OTHER PEOPLE IS WHAT KEEPS ME
GOING.
>> Mike: THAT'S FANTASTIC.
AND YOUR VOICE.
I MEAN, THE VIDEO FROM WAY BACK
WHEN TO TODAY, IT'S JUST SO
WONDERFUL.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Mike: WELL, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
IT HAS JUST BEEN AN HONOR.
SHE'S GOING TO BE OUT AT LA
CANTERA AT THE -- I MISSED IT
AGAIN.
LUXURY WEEKEND AT 8:00 TONIGHT.
