It was just such a great memory
0:02
I would do it all over again. I'm glad I had the balls to do it and wear the f***ing taps
0:07
And it was a great time. Christina and Stephen, welcome to Heart's Evening Show
0:12
How are you? Thank you. Wonderful. Awesome. Happy to be together. We're super excited
0:17
Burlesque is a brand new home here at the Savoy Theatre in London. You guys have obviously collaborated for the original film, Burlesque, back in 2010
0:25
I just want to say it feels amazing being on stage right now, sort of seeing it start to come to life
0:30
But please talk to me about the process of bringing Burlesque to the stage
0:35
We always talked about it being on the stage and it started on the stage really with Christina
0:42
So many years ago when I saw Christina just did one night with the cat Dolls
0:47
or maybe it was two nights. I'm trying to remember. So fun. I was filming it at the Rock Seat
0:52
There were only 300 people in the audience and I saw Christina in the show
0:57
and I realized that this is a movie, you know? So really, Christina inspired it all so long ago
1:04
And we always talked about it coming to the stage, and we've been talking about it now for eight years
1:08
and here we are. And it was a long process and an incredible process
1:11
with an unbelievable mentor and leader, Christina, and who made the movie happen
1:18
and now made the live stage musical happen. Well, he definitely drew me in, too
1:23
whenever he was like, you get to do Etta James music. something's got a hold on me and even embodying tough lover it was so fun and also i am a good
1:34
girl that was so fun because it's so like cutie i fell in love with that when i first saw it at
1:39
crazy horse in paris so that was so fun to sort of be able to do myself and and bring it to life
1:47
and it's so fun so fun this is obviously like way more intimate as well than you might be used to
1:52
performing in front of a stadium compared to a theatre. Talk to me about that. Is that more enjoyable
1:58
A different experience for you? It's definitely different, but I think you feel the energy
2:03
of different audiences and you respond differently When it a bigger audience of course I get more boisterous It just you know you feeling all of that energy come at you at once and
2:15
you want to connect with it and give back and, you know, it's a larger than life moment. And then
2:19
being in a theater environment, you're able to sort of draw in a little bit more, connect with
2:25
them on a more intimate level. So I really, really love, I love both worlds, but being able to be in
2:30
a theatre setting it's gorgeous and it's so beautiful and I love seeing the Queen's box over
2:36
there. Well Christina you have given us some iconic moments over the years if it's all right
2:42
I just wanted to share like some of my favourites. Sure. If we could start off back in 1999 like
2:47
Genie in a Bottle a fantastic look in fact can I just give you a quick reminder just in case you've
2:51
forgotten it's a double dead in look a bold choice for the beach um but did you have any idea like if
2:57
you just take me back to that moment you finished recording it the song's about to come out did you
3:01
have any idea it was going to become as huge and iconic as it has i mean you can only hope for that
3:06
you're hoping to connect with people and to be a part of their lives and and you know i was i was
3:12
born to entertain you know it's it's a part of my my dna it's it's where i sing from and it's just
3:18
a gut feeling and reaction and and the the want for uh being able to you know give people a sense
3:25
of fun and release or, you know, have a moment of, you know, for the ballads, you know, connecting
3:32
with themselves and being a part of their lives. It's just, it's a beautiful thing. And I never
3:36
take that for granted. And looking back at, you know, the body of work and being able to have fans
3:41
over time in a career and, you know, who stand by you through motherhood and, you know, all the
3:46
things, it's just, it's so beautiful. So you can only wish and hope for the best, but I'm so grateful
3:52
that it happened. Let's fast forward to 2002. Dirty featuring Redman. Now, I lost my mind
4:02
the first time I saw the music video for this as a young man. What was the concept behind this
4:07
Was the mood board like biker, fight club, mud wrestling? Was it and all the above I mean it was with David LaChapelle who is one of my favorites And he so fun to work with because it just it can be wacky and sexy
4:22
And it's just his, you know, photography and visuals are so captivating and electric
4:27
That creating this sort of underground world where you get all these cast of characters
4:33
plushies, like all these things. It was just, you know, outrageous and fun
4:38
But it was one of the best times I've ever had on a music video
4:42
I loved doing that on the motorcycle and in the shower scene with the girls
4:46
It was just honestly so fun. It was just such a great memory
4:52
I would do it all over again. I'm glad I had the balls to do it and wear the f***ing chaps
4:58
It was a great time. It's funny you mentioned the chaps. That's such an iconic look
5:03
Do you know that's available as a fancy dress Halloween outfit? I know, I'm obsessed
5:09
I love seeing it. I love seeing people dressed as the dirty, you know, outfits with the chaps and all of it
5:16
The black and blonde hair. I love seeing people reinvent and have fun with, you know, different creative free choices I've made
5:23
So it's a really beautiful thing. I love that. Well, one of your biggest collaborations is with Maroon 5, Moves Like Jagger
5:32
Got a fun statistic. You know, it's been streamed over 1.8 billion times, which is roughly one eighth of the world's population
5:39
That's fun, isn't it? Wow, that is fun. Yeah. Have you ever heard from Mick Jagger about that song
5:44
Is he flattered by it? I haven't actually. I worked with him before that on a documentary they shot
5:52
And it was just, he was so electric and alive to perform with
5:56
I mean, nobody compares to the Mick Jagger. You know, you can try to move like him, but nobody moves like Mick Jagger
6:04
So it was just so fun to work with him and the way he kind of picked me up off my feet
6:10
during the performance unexpectedly. I was like, oh! So it was just, that was the experience I had with him
6:15
Who knows what he thinks about the song, but. Steve do you have a favorite Christina iconic moment or look from over the years Probably I mean look there so many but back to basics And you know just because it really speaks to everything that I love
6:32
And it's not, and I know we overuse this word iconic, but it is iconic
6:38
And it really inspired me. You know, I mean, I've just been, you know
6:43
everything Christina does inspires me because it's just other level. Finally, guys, I have a question I like to ask
6:49
all of my guests. it's called please stop asking me it's like the one question you think comes up quite a lot and
6:56
we're not saying these are good or bad questions just like this point in your career you feel like
7:00
you've probably answered it enough yeah do you have a question like that a please stop asking
7:05
i mean for me i think after a while i'm just like enough about me like what about you like i'm always
7:12
interested because i feel like i'm always sharing like in interviews or like even you know i'm in
7:17
glam or you know my team it's just like sometimes I want to know the gossip about them I'm like
7:23
enough about me yes I want to know about your personal eyes give me the dirt give me the juice
7:27
give me the tea yes I did have a guess at one of the questions which is the story behind the song
7:34
beautiful it's actually one of my favorite stories about how a song was made so the legend is
7:38
you did it in one take and you were lying down while you did it as well is there any truth to
7:43
lying down I might have I don't know whether I was coming up or down or whatever but it was
7:51
it was it was a special moment just because also I had somebody in the booth with me and I was like
7:57
feeling a little bit insecure which taps into the song and the vulnerability of the moment and that's
8:02
where the beginning goes don't look at me and that was the don't look at me moment because it was real
8:07
and it was authentic and it was raw in the moment and she and Linda kept it in the song
8:11
which actually embodies it perfectly because it's just like introducing like I'm insecure
8:18
but trying to look at the positive and optimism of you know
8:22
I'm beautiful no matter what incredible guys thank you pleasure pleasure
