PEOPLE SAY, IT'S A MINNESOTA
THING AND CONTINUES THAT
TRADITION.
IT IS MORE CHALLENGING.
THAT'S ALL I CAN CATCH.
OUR NEXT QUESTION HAS TO DO
WITH SINGING.
FIRST OFF, HEATHER, WE MUST
THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE SO
BRAVE FOR TACKLING THIS ONE.
YOU REALLY DOVE INTO IT.
TAKE A LOOK.
♪ CAUSE BABY THERE AIN'T NO
MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH ♪ AIN'T
NO VALLEY LOW ENOUGH ♪
I LOVE IT!
I WISH CHRIS WOULD HAVE TAKEN
WITH YOU, TOO.
HEATHER DID HER OWN VERSION OF
"CARPOOL KARAOKE."
YOU ALSO PERFORMED BEFORE A
CROWD AT OTTER'S SALOON IN THE
NAME OF JOURNALISM TO ANSWER
THIS QUESTION, WHY CAN'T SOME
PEOPLE SING VERY WELL?
FIRST OF ALL, YOUR VOICE WAS
NOT MAD -- BAD.
YOU MADE IT SOUND LIKE YOU
WOULD BE TERRIBLE.
YOU HIT THE NOTES.
YOU'VE GOT THE SWAGGER.
I GREW UP IN MUSICAL THEATER
AND SO BADLY WANTED TO BE ON
BROADWAY.
MOM AND DAD, THANK YOU SO MUCH,
YOU PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO
SINGING LESSONS AND I AM STILL
THE WORST SINGER THAT YOU WILL
EVER HEAR.
WHY?
WE'VE GOT TO GET YOU TO
OTTER'S SALOON.
EVERYBODY SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD
AT OTTER'S SALOON.
PART OF IT IS YOUR
INSTRUMENT THAT YOU ARE BORN
WITH.
IS IT JUST THE VOCAL CORDS?
IT'S THE LUNG, CAPACITY,
READING CAPABILITY THAT COMES
UP INTO YOUR LARYNX AND VOCAL
FOLDS.
THERE IS A WHOLE BUNCH OF
DIFFERENT THINGS.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE BEING AN
ATHLETE.
YOU EITHER HAVE IT OR DON'T
AND YOU HAVE TO MAXIMIZE WHAT
YOU HAVE.
YOU COULD TEACH YOUR SELF.
SURE.
BUT YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY TEACH
YOUR SELF TO BE ADELE.
I KEEP TRYING IN THE SHOWER.
REALLY CLOSE.
THINK BACK TO MICHAEL
JORDAN.
HE WAS BORN WITH A NATURAL
SKILL THAT WORKS REALLY, REALLY
HARD TO BE THE VERY BEST.
FUNNY YOU SAY THAT, AS A
KID, I SANG ALSO AND USED TO
HAVE A PRETTY GOOD VOICE.
NOW I DON'T.
IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE NOT
PRACTICED, I HAVE NOT TRAINED.
WHY, THOUGH?
BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE
VOCAL CONTROL THAT YOU ONCE
HAD.
SOME OF IT HAS TO DO WITH WHAT
WE HEAR.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD I AM
A BAD LISTENER BEFORE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
SOME OF IT IS THERE IS A
SMALL GROUP OF US THAT JUST
CANNOT HEAR PITCH.
JUST CANNOT.
BUT THERE IS A LARGER GROUP OF
US THAT CAN BE TAUGHT TO FIGURE
OUT PITCH, A LOT OF THESE
SINGERS KNOW IT RIGHT AWAY,
THEY CAN HEAR THAT "A" NOTE AND
GO RIGHT AT IT.
YOU CAN BE TRAINED TO BECOME A
BETTER SINGER BUT YOU CANNOT
TRAIN UNLESS YOU ARE BORN WITH
IT TO BECOME A FANTASTIC
SINGER.
DO YOU WISH THAT YOU HAD A
COUPLE OF DAYS TO PRACTICE?
I WISH THAT I HAD TAKEN A
COUPLE OF SINGING LESSONS.
BUT YOU GO BACK TO THE WHOLE
THING, TOO.
A LOT OF IT IS PRACTICE AND
CONFIDENCE.
YOU'VE GOT TO GET OUT THERE AND
BELTED OUT.
IF YOU HAVE EVER QUESTIONED MY
DEDICATION TO THE QUESTION, YOU
SAW IT RIGHT THERE.
THERE WAS NO HOLDING BACK WITH
THAT "AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH
ENOUGH."
I DON'T THINK WE ARE DONE
LOOKING AT IT.
I WISH THAT WE COULD SEE A
LITTLE BIT MORE.
♪ ARE YOU OKAY, AND THE ♪ ♪
YOU'VE BEEN STRUCK BY A SMOOTH
CRIMINAL ♪
THAT THE DUDE WITH THE
COWBOY HAT BEHIND YOU IS REALLY
FEELING IT, HEATHER.
[ LAUGHTER ]
FIRST OF ALL, WHY DID I
CHOOSE THAT SONG?
THAT'S WHAT I'M WONDERING.
PREGNANCY DOES NOT USUALLY
AFFECT MY JOB BUT I WANT TO
REMIND PEOPLE, I AM REALLY
PREGNANT.
IT AFFECTED YOUR LUNG CAPACITY.
BREATHING AND SINGING IN A
BAR ON A TUESDAY AT 10:30 AT
NIGHT.
BUT, THE FOLKS AT OTTER'S
SALOON WERE FANTASTIC.
THEY WERE SO GREAT AND
EVERYBODY IN THERE WAS REALLY
COOL.
WE WANT EVERYBODY TO TEST
