TRL: She’s going to hold out on me. Well, news caught up with the dynamic
duo and we’re going to catch up with john norris with that little package.
John: Guys, thank you very much. While you are out at the beach house,
I’m here in phoenix where it’s 110 outside.
>> We have sung.
>> We do have sun.
>> It is hot. It’s hot.
John: It’s even hotter in here. Give you the two people who are bringing
you as “rolling stone” calls it the sexiest tour on earth. Welcome, guys.
>> How did we get that title?
>> I don’t know.
>> Justin –
John: Are you excited? I feel like i have been talking about there tour
for weeks now on trl. Are you ready to get out there?
>> I’m sorry.
>> No, it’s good. I think people care about it.
>> We’re so excited. He’s just tired today.
>> No, we’re definitely ecstatic about getting our stuff out there and
getting — sinking our teeth in.
John: Now, what was your reaction when they gave came up with the idea
of you pairing up this summer? Do you remember when they first brought
you the idea?
>> I think it was just good timing, both introducing ourselves as kind
of new artists making a solo record, rather and me as making a — you know,
a very personal record. Just the timing seemed right. We have known each
other for years. And just felt good.
John: Both kind of breakout records. As i mentioned to justin earlier
they both have been on the charts almost the same amount of time. You sold
almost exactly the same –
>> Yeah.
John: Weird karma is happening here. Definitely makes sense, right?
>> So it totally works. I have yet to see his show, and he has yet to
see me show.
John: Nor did you talk about it.
>> Yeah, we kind of treated it like a festival. She’s giving them her
and I’m giving them me.
>> As a coheadliner it’s better that way so we’re not together as a
team doing — you know what I mean? Very like we’re giving the audience
from one spectrum to the other, you know, and it goes through so many diverse
moves. Theatrical changes. It’s great. I’m really happy with it. Very nervous.
John: See more details about the show in a little bit. We’ll ask a big
question, will there be a christina/justin duet. Stick around, guys.
later..
TRL: Right now, we’re going to check it out with two of them one more
time. Let’s send it back out to the rehearsals. Check it out.
John: Thanks a lot. We’re back inside american west arena in phoenix.
Which is a long, long way from the mickey mouse club, isn’t it?
>> Oh, yeah.
[ Laughter ]
>> He lates that.
>> It’s a long way.
John: Did you ever think you’d be here –
>> We used to talk about this, man.
John: Yeah?
>> Oh, yeah, we hope you make it one day. No, no we hope youe it one
day.
>> No, we both recognized each other’s talents at an early age.
>> Yeah.
>> I don’t know. We joke around a lot, so you’ve got — I don’t know
what’s going to happen. I don’t know.
>> But it will be a fun summer.
>> So christina,our show –
>> A sexy summer.
John: You’re more of the stripped album and some of the first album?
>> I’m definitely reinventing some of the old songs to fit more appropriately
with where I’ve grown musically and definitely I’m doing a lot of what’s
on the stripped, taking it back to some eta james who i love. And also
some of my latin — my latin material which i cannot deny has found me.
Can’t leave that so, you know, itill te you through so mr. Different
places which is good.
John: I know you have beenut on the road already in the U. A modifiedversion
ofhat show?
>> Yeah. We cut it down a little bit. Just to make sure that everybody
has ample time. And, you know, I’m excited. It’s going to be great show
to see two completely different artists. My bodyguards are actually walking
backwards right now that’s the sound you hear.
The mechanical bodyguards. Yeah, thanks, guys.
John: Let me ask you the big question, will there be any kind of collaboration,
any duet on stage the two of you?
>> I mean, who knows? I think right now we have been so busy putting
our shows together that we haven’t had time to really sit down. I think
it would have to be something off the cuff and original for tha mat
>> If we’re just hanging out one day after the show or something, I
think he’ll whip out his guitar, needing antrument.
>> Or a cover or — we’ll see.
John: I’ve gotcha.
John: Well, we will kou posted on that. I’m looking forward tohi justified
and stripped starts in phoenix. S its way acrshe couny. Thank you so much.
