1:06
Mm. Ooh. Very nice of you. Mm. Maybe don't take it away because I really like that
1:14
The naughtiest thing I have ever done was probably when I was three
1:20
I grabbed my mum's phone, ran into the toilet and dropped it down the toilet
1:23
But so I want to know, what is the naughtiest thing you've ever done
1:28
What is the naughtiest thing I've ever done? I play practical jokes
1:32
I detuned my band's instruments one time before a show. And that was actually quite mean because, yeah, they were horrified when they picked up their instruments and they were all out of tune
1:42
Very interesting You written some really good songs What the one song you really wish you wrote Have you ever heard of the song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John Do you know who Elton John is
1:56
Yeah, I know who Elton John is. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is, you know, such a great song. I wish I had written that song
2:02
That was written by Elton and his partner Bernie Taupin. Is it one of your favourite songs
2:08
It's one of my favourite songs, yeah. What about you? What's your favourite song? I like a good, you know, Queen
2:12
No, I never heard of them. I was just thinking. See, that was a naughty thing that I just did
2:18
Yes, I've heard of Queen, yes. Because one of my favourite songs is Bohemian Rhapsody
2:23
Oh yeah, that's a great one. And We Will Rock You, of course, the classic one
2:27
And We Will Rock You. Good choices. If you had to pick three people to join your girl band, who would you choose
2:35
Miley Cyrus. Do you know who that is? I've heard of the name. I think if you gave me a song, I probably wouldn't know her
2:40
Flowers. Do you know the song Flowers? Ah, yes, I know her now. Okay. I would pick Amy Winehouse and I would pick Sia
2:48
Someone who I thought you would actually pick is Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton
2:52
I would pick Dolly Parton too. This is a picture of you as a kid
2:57
Yep. So what would... You are correct. What would you say to your younger self
3:03
I would say... Get braces. But I would say to my younger self
3:12
There's a whole world ahead of you and good luck. I'm proud of my younger self
3:17
Much like you, I was very interested in, you know, the performing arts in general
3:21
Yeah. Do you, are you, do you play an instrument? I can play an instrument, yes
3:25
Oh, which one? I can play the ukulele and bass. Oh. Was it true you started singing in bars when you were younger than me This is true I started singing in bars when I was eight years old Eight years old Yes So that was a lot of pressure It was uncomfortable First of all a non because there was so much thick smoke cigarette smoke
3:45
A lot of alcohol. People were mostly intoxicated. And as a child, you're not allowed in the bars
3:51
Pass the specific time. Exactly. So I could only go in once they stopped serving alcohol, which was only at midnight
3:57
And then I had school the next day. What about, how do you do your, you know, career and your work when you have school
4:05
Well, we've just finished our, I mean, primary, so we've just finished our main exam, SATs
4:10
Yes. But I have missed a bit of school because of this. Yes, well, you're pretty smart. I'm sure you'll catch up
4:15
Can you tell me the time when something went wrong on stage? Yes, there's been a few things that have gone wrong on stage
4:22
I've fallen on stage a few times. Fallen? Yes, that's really tough
4:26
I had a treadmill on my stage one time as part of my show
4:31
and I forgot that it was still running, and I walked over it, and it just flipped me up on my butt
4:37
Wow. Or back off onto my butt. I'm not sure which direction
4:41
Too confusing for you. Yes, too confusing. I tumbled. Let's put it that way
4:45
I fell off a treadmill before. I think you and I should just stay off the treadmills
4:50
You have won five Grammy Awards. So what do you do with all the awards
4:55
For a very long time, I never displayed my awards. I didn't have them out. When I go home, I like to forget who I am and just be a person. I mean, Shania Twain is a person, but you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, you get it. Because you know, you're in this business too. My son said, Mom, I don't think I've even ever seen one of your Grammys. Where are they? And I realized that they were all packed away somewhere that in a box, you know, never to be seen again
5:20
So now I dedicated space where I archive all of my awards and my clothing like my leopard print outfit things like that so they don deteriorate and get forgotten or lost
5:35
Can I have one? You've got a lot of, you're kind of bold and that's good
5:41
I like that about you. Did you come out of the womb wearing leopard print
5:46
No, but maybe in my last life I was a leopard. I don't understand my love for leopard
5:51
but it is what I call my go-to colour. Ah. You know, I'm like
5:55
it's my favourite colour. Do you have a favourite colour? I have colours that I prefer. Oh, like
6:00
On like the blue, purple more that side. I get it. Yeah, you like the cool colours. Yeah
6:05
Because you're cool. Did you really have a red truck and was it called
6:09
rosy? So you're referring to my song Dirty Rosie which is a
6:13
song I wrote about the my first driving when I was 10 years old and that was my dad's old red work truck and when a an old truck fades it fades into
6:26
a rosy color and this truck was always dirty because it was a work truck so her name is dirty
6:32
rosy what did your dad do to make it dirty we were planting trees working in the forest
6:38
so we were always on muddy roads and sandy roads and you know driving through slushy snow and
6:46
banging up the truck and we didn't have money when I was a child when I was your age and we
6:51
would never be able to afford a new truck anyway so it was always going to be an old dirty truck
6:56
dirty Rosie thank you oh well thank you Finley that was awesome that was a lot of fun
