HAVE TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR WONDERFUL ALBUM, FOR THE GIRLS.
IT IS BRILLIANT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> James: IT IS GREAT COLLABORATIONSK TELL US ALL
ABOUT THE ALBUM.
>> FIRST MY FATHER WAS VERY UPSET WHEN HE SAW THIS BECAUSE
HE SAID YOU FORGOT YOUR PANTS BUT I DIDN'TED.
I WANTED TO CELEBRATE WOMEN WHO CAN BE-- LIKE DONNA WASHINGTON,
AND I THINK NOW ADAYS, WE'RE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT LENS, I
HAVE A VCE THAT KIND OF DOES A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND IT
HAS NEVER BEEN CELEBRATED BUT WITH THIS RECORD I GET TO HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT ALL.
AND YOU KNOW, I HAVE SOME GREAT GUEST TARS, DOLLY PARTON,
JENNIFER HUDSON, ARIANA.
>> I KNOW FROM THE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER THAT YOU ARE SUCH A
HUGE DOLLY PARTON FAN.
TELL ME ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE OF RECORDING A SONG WITH HER, WHAT
WAS THAT LIKE?
>> I'M NOT OVER IT.
NOT OVER IT.
I STILL WONDER IF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
THE FIRST TIME I HEARD SHE WAS GOING TO DO IT, I JUST UP AND
CRY CRIED.
I WAS IN A STUDIO.
AND THEN I DID IT AGAIN ONLY OH MY GOD, AND ONCE I HEARD THAT
RECORDING OF HER DOING IT WITH ME, I EMAILED HER A VIDEO, I
SAID I WAS CRYING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SPEAK PROPERLY.
I CAN'T BELIEVE, YOU-- AND SHE WROTE ME BACK, VIDEOED ME BACK,
I CAN'T TELL IF YOU ARE HAPPY OR SAD.
AND THAT'S, I JUST, YOU KNOW, LIKE REBBA JENNIFER, ARIANA, IT
IS JUST-- .
>> James: WELL, ST A GREAT RECORD AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE
PERFORMING FROM IT LATER.

EVER STAGE PERFORMANCES WAS IN A MUSICAL WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG, YOU
DID SINGING IN THE RAIN, RIGHT.
>> YES, I DID.

RAIN.
>> ME TOO.
>> IT WAS OKAY.
I MEAN YOU KNOW, IT WAS FINE.
I DID, YOU KNOW, I WASN'T GIVEN NECESSARILY A ROLE IN THIS HIGH
SCHOOL PRODUCTION.
SO THEY GAVE ME A SONG TO SING.

>> TERRIBLE.
>> James: OH REALLY.

I REMEMBER MY MOTHER AFTER MY FIRST PERFORMANCE, I CAME OFF
STAGE AND SHE GAVE ME A HUG AND SHE GOES OH MY GOD, COBIE TRK
