THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
WHAT A CHRISTMAS TREAT TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE.
PHARRELL, I WANT TO START BY CONGRATULATING YOU.
YOU ARE NOMINATED FOR ANOTHER GRAMMY, PRODUCER OF THE YEAR.
YOU'VE WORKED ON SO MUCH INCREDIBLE MUSIC THIS YEAR.
WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT 2018, WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS YOU'RE MOST
PROUD OF?
( LAUGHTER ) >> SO MANY THINGS.
YEAH, THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS.
I THINK I SPENT MORE TIME JUST BEING, LIKE, APPRECIATIVE, YOU
KNOW, AND JUST MORE AWARE OF, LIKE, HOW BLESSED I AM.
I TRIED TO SPEND MOST OF MY TIME DOING THAT WHEN I WASN'T
WORKING.
>> James: SURE, BUT ARE YOU EVER SOMEONE WHO EVER LOOKS BACK
AT WHAT THEY'VE DONE OR ARE YOU MOSTLY LOOKING FORWARD?
>> I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD, YEAH.
( APPLAUSE ) >> James: DO YOU EVER THINK
THERE WILL BE A TIME WHEN YOU MIGHT DECIDE TO GO, WELL, MAYBE
I'LL GO BACK AND LOOK AT SOME OF THIS INCREDIBLE WORK I'VE DONE?
>> I ALMOST FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER IS WHEN
YOU'RE DONE.
>> I FEEL LIKE IF YOU LOOKED BACK YOU WOULD HAVE A HEART
ATTACK BECAUSE YOU'RE SO RAD.
( APPLAUSE ) >> James: YOU'VE WORKED
TOGETHER ON MASSIVE SONGS, HAUL IT BACK, GIRL.
WIND IT UP.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> I'M GOING TO CRY.
FOR REAL, I'M CRYING.
>> James: WHAT'S IT LIKE WHEN YOU'RE IN THE STUDIO WITH
PHARRELL?
WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR YOU AS AN ARTIST?
>> I FEEL LIKE IT'S A CULTURAL COLLISION.
AT FIRST, WE WERE COMING FROM SUCH DIFFERENT WORLDS, BUT WE
WERE SO SIMILAR IN SO MANY WAYS.
WE HAD THE SAME INTERESTS FOR LOVE, LIFE, ART, MUSIC, AND
TELLING A STORY AND GETTING OUR FEELINGS OUT.
IT WAS AN AMAZING MASHUP OF PEOPLE TO BE TOGETHER.
I FEEL LIKE HE ALWAYS GAVE ME THIS CRAZY CONFIDENCE AND HE
BELIEVED IN ME AND I DIDN'T SEE MYSELF THE WAY HE SAW ME.
I DON'T KNOW, WE WOULD JUST TRY CRAZY STUFF ALL THE TIME.
>> James: THERE WAS SO MUCH GREAT STUFF.
YOU DID YODELING ON THAT TRACK.
>> HE'S STILL MAD AT ME FOR THAT.
I FEEL YOU'RE GOING TO BE ON MY SIDE ABOUT THIS, BUT I'M A
MASSIVE SOUND OF MUSIC FAN.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> RIGHT?
>> James: SURE.
YOU'RE NOT?
>> James: I LOVE IT.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MUSICAL.
>> James: THERE ARE A LOT OF SHOWS I WOULD TAKE OVER THE
"SOUND OF MUSIC."
>> SORRY, JULIE ANDREWS.
>> James: IT'S NOT BAD.
I WAS A HUGE FAN AND I WAS DOING A FASHION SHOW FASHION
WEEK AND WE HAD JUST WRITTEN A SONG, AND THEY DID A MASHUP.
IT WAS MY IDEA.
I WAS SUCH A FAN.
I HAD TO CONVINCE HIM.
HE WAS, LIKE, THERE'S NO WAY, IT'S SO LAME.
IT'S HORRIBLE.
NONET WHY YOU SAID IT'S OKAY.
>> BECAUSE IT'S YOUR SONG.
>> James: WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST THE OWEDLE?
>> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST OWED LING.
I JUST DIDN'T SENSE THE MAGIC IN IT, BUT THEN I CAME AROUND
BECAUSE THE MAGIC IN IT WAS KIND OF LIKE HER BEING LIT UP ABOUT
IT.
SHE WOULD BE JUST SO EXCITED.
>> I WAS SO EXCITED.
>> James: I'M, LIKE, WOW, THIS IS ONE OF MY SENSES IS JUST NOT
WORKING.
SO LET ME JUST DEFER TO HER BECAUSE IT LIT HER UP, YOU KNOW.
>> James: CAN YOU GIVE US A YODLE NOW?
HAVE WE STILL GOT IT IN THE TANK?
>> I THINK PHARRELL WILL BE SO EMBARRASSED.
>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
COME ON.
YOU HAVE TO DO IT NOW.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> OKAY.
OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING.
>> James: READY?
