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 caps
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 but please talk to me about the process of bringing burlesque
0:34
to the stage we always talked about it being on the stage and it started on the stage really with
0:41
christina um so many years ago when i saw christina just did one night with the cat dolls or
0:47
maybe it was two nights i'm trying to remember and i was fun i was filming it um at the roxy there
0:52
were only 300 people in the audience. And I saw Christina in the show and I realized that this is
1:00
a movie, you know, so really Christina inspired it all so long ago. And we always talked about it
1:05
coming to the stage and we've been talking about it now for eight years. And, and here we are. And
1:09
it was a long process and an incredible process and with an unbelievable mentor and leader
1:16
Christina, and who made the movie happen and now made the stage, live stage musical happen
1:22
Well, he definitely drew me in too whenever he was like, you get to do Etta James music
1:28
Something's got a hold on me. And even embodying Tough Lover, it was so fun
1:33
And also, I am a good girl. That was so fun because it's so like, you see, I fell in love with that when I first saw it at Crazy Horse in Paris
1:42
So that was so fun to sort of be able to do myself 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 performing in front of a stadium compared to a theatre
1:55
Talk to me about that. Is that more enjoyable, a different experience for you
1:59
It definitely different but I think you feel the energy 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
2:15
and you want to connect with it and give back. And, you know, it's a larger than life moment
2:19
And then being in a theater environment, you're able to sort of draw in a little bit more
2:24
connect with them on a more intimate level. So I really, really love, I love both worlds
2:29
but being able to be in a theater setting, it's gorgeous and it's so beautiful and I love seeing the Queen's box over there
2:37
Well Christina you have given us some iconic moments over the years if it's all right I just
2:42
wanted to share like some of my favorites. Sure. If we could start off back in 1999 like Genie in a
2:47
bottle a fantastic look in fact can I just give you a quick reminder just in case you've forgotten
2:51
it's a double denim look a bold choice for the beach um but did you have any idea like if you
2:57
Just take me back to that moment. You finished recording it. The song's about to come out. Did you have any idea it was going to become as huge and iconic as it has
3:05
I mean, you can only hope for that. You're hoping to connect with people and to be a part of their lives
3:10
And, you know, I was born to entertain. You know, it's a part of my DNA
3:16
It's where I sing from. And it's just a gut feeling and reaction and the want for being able to, you know
3:24
give people a sense of fun and release or, you know, have a moment of, you know, for the ballads
3:31
you know, connecting with themselves and being a part of their lives. It's just, it's a beautiful
3:36
thing. And I never take that for granted. And looking back at, you know, the body of work and
3:40
being able to have fans over time in a career and, you know, who stand by you through motherhood and
3:45
you know, all the things. It's just, it's so beautiful. So you can only wish and hope for
3:51
the best but i'm so grateful that um that it happened let's fast forward to 2002 dirty featuring
4:00
red man now i lost my mind the first time i saw the music video for this as a young man
4:05
what was the concept behind this was the mood board like biker fight club uh mud wrestling
4:11
was it and all the above i mean it was with david la chapelle 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. Oh
5:40
Wow, that is fun. Yeah. Have you ever heard from Mick Jagger about that song
5:45
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
6:02
But nobody moves like Mick Jagger. So it was just so fun to work with him
6:07
and the way he kind of picked me up off my feet during the performance unexpectedly
6:11
I was like, ooh! 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
6:20
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 and it really inspired me
6:41
You know, I mean, I've just been, you know, everything Christina does inspires me
6:45
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 at 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
that lying down I might have I don't know whether I was coming up or down or whatever but it was uh
7:52
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 um which
8:12
actually embodies it perfectly because it's just like introducing like I'm insecure but trying to
8:19
look at the positive and optimism of you know I'm beautiful no matter what incredible guys thank you
