- You have the most precious child, River, I just met.
- I win. She's so great. - Oh, my God.
- Yeah. - She is adorable.
- Yeah. I love her.
Ah!
I mean, are you serious? I know. She's so cute.
I mean, every picture. We have so many pictures of her.
Look at that! What's happening? What's happening?
- She's constantly just, like, pounding around.
Be like, "Yeah!" - Is she in the studio there?
She's recording? - She--yeah.
We've already started her young.
- Yeah. - She will work and get paid.
- She will pay us back for what she cause us.
- Me. No us about it, y'all.
Un-uh. - No, it's all you.
- Yeah, it's all me. - Yeah.
So you were here-- she really is precious.
I mean, that--oh, she's gonna fall down.
And you--you met her backstage.
She's such a light. She's such a--
She loves everyone. She smiles.
She does this thing where you-- - I know. She smiles.
- Yeah. - She's absolutely adorable.
And then you were recording this
during the time you were pregnant as well.
- Yes. - How did that happen?
How could you sing while you were pregnant?
- She's just--I mean, it takes up all the room,
so you can't get enough breath. - Yeah.
And so, then I would just start hitting notes
my musical director, who's known me since Idol,
we'd both be, like--
like, he's be, like, "Oh, my God. You suck."
Like--it's like-- we were, like, "God, that was horrible."
Like, I just couldn't hit notes.
I just couldn't carry it.
Like, I didn't have enough air, but yeah.
- Wow. And yet you still debuted at number one,
so congratulations. - Yeah. No, I'm good now.
I'm good now.
[applause]
- Ah.
No, I know. - Air is--I'm good now.
- What--you're going to be here, and we're gonna talk again
after this, and you're gonna sing.
- Okay. - But I want to address--
I-I know that you have been getting
a lot of criticism, and I just--
- I know. Well, I think--
I love that people think that's new.
- Yeah. Well, so. - Welcome to the past 13 years.
- Yeah. Right. - Yeah.
- Was that, like, first of all,
because you did all of a sudden become very famous suddenly...
- Yeah. - Because of "American Idol."
And then, so, you've been dealing
with criticism off and on. - Yeah, I was the biggest girl
in the show, too, so--
And I wasn't big, but people would call me big.
- Right. - 'Cause I was the biggest one
on Idol, and I've kinda always gotten that,
so I'm, like--I'm like-- like, people, like,
"I'm so sorry that lady in London was so mean to you."
I'm, like, "Are you serious?"
Like, "Get in line." Yeah.
- So, what--I mean, but really, it does.
I mean, I-I can tell you I don't pay attention
to the stuff, either. - Yeah.
- But if I happen to hear something...
- Yeah. - It does hurt my feelings
'cause-- - Well, it hurts your feelings
more if it's someone else that you like.
You know, if it's you, you're just, like, "Whatever."
But, like, if it's, like, somebody--
I think what hurts my feelings for people
is then I'll go-- I'll have, like, a meet and greet
after a show, and a girl that's, like,
bigger than me will be in the meet and greet, and be, like,
"Oh, God," and they'll say, "If they think you're big,
they must--I must be, like, so fat to them,"
and it's, like, "You're just who you are."
Like, we are who we are, and whatever size.
[applause]
And it doesn't mean you're going to be that forever.
Like, that's--that's the thing. Like, it doesn't--
sometimes, you know, we're more fit.
Like, some--especially me. I'm such a creative person.
I yo-yo. Like, sometimes I'm more fit,
and I get, like, into kickboxing hardcore.
And then sometimes I don't. - Yeah.
- And I'm, like, "I'd rather have wine."
- Yeah. - Yep.
[laughter]
Yeah.
- Well, and I think that-- that's totally fine
as long as what-- whatever makes you--
as long as you're happy. - Exactly.
- And as long as you feel like you're taking care of yourself.
- Yeah. - You're healthy.
And I want you to be able to have your wine...
- I do, too. - And--and be able to carry
your baby around, so I got you a little gift.
So here's River's juice over here, okay, so...
- She can sippy already. - Yeah.
- That's great. - And then--
- For her wine? - Then you have
mommy's juice here.
And so you have-- let's see what side--
that's red wine right here. - No.
I love you! - There you are. You're welcome.
