Speaker 1: You're listening to Jojasua now with me Joja Ciua, an
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio podcast. Welcome back to joonas here now. I hope
Speaker 1: you all have been having an incredible July. I have
Speaker 1: been having the July of a lifetime. Honestly, July twelfth,
Speaker 1: I think was the best day of my life. That
Speaker 1: is when my EP Guilty Pleasure came out with five
Speaker 1: new songs. Honestly, I'm surprised that I remember the date
Speaker 1: July twelfth. I all the time people will be like,
Speaker 1: when did Karma come out? And I literally look down
Speaker 1: because I have it on my hand tattooed four five,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, and so then I will never forget
Speaker 1: when Karma came out. I feel like I need to
Speaker 1: get Guilty Pleasure tattooed the date of it. I have
Speaker 1: my big old Teddy Bear tattooed. It's the Teddy Bear
Speaker 1: with wings, with the goggles, with the construction visitors, a
Speaker 1: whole thing on my arm. But I feel like I
Speaker 1: I feel like I gotta get the date on that too,
Speaker 1: just like a little song something. I also want to
Speaker 1: get a new tattoo, like right around my elbow on
Speaker 1: the front. I feel like, I gotta, like really keep
Speaker 1: this sleeve going, but I don't know what I want.
Speaker 1: If you have any tattoo suggestions, let me know. Anyways,
Speaker 1: not the point of this podcast. The point of this
Speaker 1: podcast is to talk about my golden goose egg, little
Speaker 1: tiny baby, perfect project Karma. Now, if you don't know,
Speaker 1: April fifth, Karma is the day that Karma came out,
Speaker 1: and that day truly changed my life. I don't think
Speaker 1: I necessarily expected Karma to do what it did. I
Speaker 1: mean it, it exploded, and it's unreal. It's unreal to
Speaker 1: see the response of Karma versus Guilty Pleasure, and I
Speaker 1: honestly enjoy it. I said, when Guilty Pleasure was coming out,
Speaker 1: everyone was like, what are your expectations? What are your
Speaker 1: number of expectations? And I was like, well, the thing
Speaker 1: is is I was like, everyone, of course is going
Speaker 1: to compare it to Karma, right, But Karma was so
Speaker 1: much more than just a music drop. Karma was a
Speaker 1: full career shift and it was such a big play
Speaker 1: and I I'm truly, so so so proud of that
Speaker 1: big play, but it was it was wild. It's wild
Speaker 1: for me to look back and think about because I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: I knew what I was getting myself into, but I
Speaker 1: don't think I really knew what I was getting myself into.
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It truly has become a piece
Speaker 1: of my life history and is one of the most
Speaker 1: significant moments in my career. Is the day that Karma
Speaker 1: came out. Anyways, today I want to take a trip
Speaker 1: down memory lane and I want to talk about five
Speaker 1: things about Karma that you don't know are hidden, are
Speaker 1: things that I've kept secret or I mean I got
Speaker 1: I got a whole list of things. I got five
Speaker 1: different things, some about the song, some about the video,
Speaker 1: and I think we should just freaking get right into it.
Speaker 1: So Karma. There's been a lot of controversy here surrounding
Speaker 1: this song, and one of the things that I would
Speaker 1: love to clear up and say very straightforward, I did
Speaker 1: not write Karma. This is not a song that I wrote.
Speaker 1: It is my song, but it is not a song
Speaker 1: that I wrote. Now, the thing is, you can own
Speaker 1: a song without writing it. And a lot of people
Speaker 1: right now coming at me you steal your songs? Yeah,
Speaker 1: can it? With all my might? That is the most
Speaker 1: wild concept to me and me and all my industry
Speaker 1: friends look at those comments. I mean, we actually like
Speaker 1: laugh because it's just so funny. No one, no one
Speaker 1: truly understands how it works. And that's totally okay. But
Speaker 1: Karma was actually wrote twelve years ago for an artist,
Speaker 1: and this artist is a very very well known artist
Speaker 1: and was a part of the writing it. This person
Speaker 1: who was very very well known didn't want their name
Speaker 1: attached to it because they wanted me to have my
Speaker 1: own moment. And at first I questioned, like if that
Speaker 1: truly was the reason they didn't want to have their
Speaker 1: name attached to it, and it truly was, and I
Speaker 1: we had a great conversation about it, and I'm very
Speaker 1: very grateful for that because it would have it would
Speaker 1: have shifted the narrative of the song and of the
Speaker 1: moment of the career shift. And so for that, I
Speaker 1: am so grateful. And I'm just I'm I'm just I
Speaker 1: just I wish I wish I could say, but I
Speaker 1: can't say. But it's really freaking cool how this song
Speaker 1: came to be, the era of life and world for
Speaker 1: this person that was originally wrote for it came to be,
Speaker 1: and then how it fell into my lap is truly
Speaker 1: amazing and then you know, obviously people on the internet,
Speaker 1: there was another person that recorded a version of Karma
Speaker 1: after the very very original there's another person and this
Speaker 1: another person recorded it and never released it, did film
Speaker 1: a video for it, but never released it. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, I release Karma, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: there's another girl that is like, this is mine? What
Speaker 1: where did you come from? This is mine? And so
Speaker 1: even though she did it first, I guess it was
Speaker 1: not hers, she never rightfully owned it. And it is
Speaker 1: something that I wanted to rightfully own and so I
Speaker 1: do rightfully own and so that was a big thing.
Speaker 1: And then there's controversy of who wrote it. And the
Speaker 1: truth is the writers on the song are this team
Speaker 1: called rock Mafia. Now you know rock Mafia. You've heard
Speaker 1: them in some of your favorite songs. Can't Attended by
Speaker 1: Miley Syres and it says rock Mafia. There's a bunch
Speaker 1: of Selena songs, I say rock Mafia. You can hear
Speaker 1: their little added thing out of producer tag in so
Speaker 1: many songs. Another fun thing that's fun is if you
Speaker 1: look at the Descendants track that just came out, and
Speaker 1: you know the song off with their Heads lead read
Speaker 1: read read they did that song as well. They've done
Speaker 1: a ton of my songs. They've done my song yesterday smiles.
Speaker 1: Today they did this song. Obviously, they did Karma, and
Speaker 1: they've done oh my god. We have done five other
Speaker 1: songs together. We've done so much together that are just
Speaker 1: not out yet. Anyways. I remember the first time they
Speaker 1: ever played me Karma. And the girl's name is Antonina,
Speaker 1: and Antonina is a freaking magician in the music world.
Speaker 1: She is unreal. She's a genius and I love her
Speaker 1: with all my heart. First day that I ever recorded
Speaker 1: with her was for a total different song. It was
Speaker 1: a sad love song and it was really hard, was
Speaker 1: really emotionally draining, and I was like, I don't think
Speaker 1: I can come back to this, like now I associated
Speaker 1: with all these crazy memories, like this is wild. And
Speaker 1: then as I'm leaving, she was like, I have a
Speaker 1: song that I like think might fit your vibe and
Speaker 1: she played me Karma and she played me the original
Speaker 1: original demo of this person who I freaking loves voice
Speaker 1: on it, and I was like, holy cow, like yes,
Speaker 1: I want a song like this, like I would love this,
Speaker 1: like you can make this and she was like well,
Speaker 1: actually I did make this. She was like and like,
Speaker 1: it's never been out, like, do you want to put
Speaker 1: your voice on it? And scene? So I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: let's schedule a day, let's do it. So then I
Speaker 1: recorded Karma. I recorded a couple different versions of Karma
Speaker 1: because I wasn't ready to say I was a bad girl.
Speaker 1: I was not there yet in life. So I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, let's say she was a bad girl.
Speaker 1: Let's say you were a bad girl. And so we
Speaker 1: we recorded it in a lot of different ways, and
Speaker 1: then two years later, when it was finally time for
Speaker 1: it to be released, we had all these versions and
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I was a bad
Speaker 1: girl is the winner. It is strong, it is powerful,
Speaker 1: and that will make a statement, and it sure as
Speaker 1: hell did. I think that's one of the biggest things
Speaker 1: right now for me with my career, everything is about
Speaker 1: making a statement. Whether that be a good statement, a
Speaker 1: bad statement, a positive stavement, a negative statement. Let's just
Speaker 1: make a statement. It doesn't matter anyways. That is my
Speaker 1: story on writing Karma, which I did not do, but
Speaker 1: the amazing team of Rock Mafia did. The second thing
Speaker 1: that I want to talk about is actually the Karma
Speaker 1: music video. So the only music video that I've ever
Speaker 1: done prior to Karma that was a two day music
Speaker 1: video shoot was for my song High Top Shoes. Back
Speaker 1: of the Day. Everything else was only a one day.
Speaker 1: Boomerang was one day, Knagaanster one day, Hold the Drama
Speaker 1: one day, Every music video was one day. However, High
Speaker 1: Top Shoes was a double double day music video shoot
Speaker 1: and we did it over my birthday. It was so
Speaker 1: much fun. I got to have my best friends in it.
Speaker 1: It was a blast. Also, something crazy that's really random
Speaker 1: right now is because Kelly Sweeney's dance is going viral
Speaker 1: right now. She's the one and I just talked about
Speaker 1: it doing the red Dance from Descendants because she's like
Speaker 1: been going so viral and she's been social media. She's
Speaker 1: crushing it on social media. Her dances crush it, like
Speaker 1: all of it. It's so fun to me because I
Speaker 1: remember Kelly was actually a dancer of mine for years
Speaker 1: and and she did so much with me. But High
Speaker 1: Top Shoes music video was one that she was in.
Speaker 1: She was in the High Top Shoes music video and
Speaker 1: like we were twelve and like I anyways, it's just
Speaker 1: it's fun to see how everyone's growing up and everyone's
Speaker 1: path that they're taking, and it's fun to see people
Speaker 1: that you know be successful. And it makes me really
Speaker 1: happy whenever I see people that I know be successful. Anyways,
Speaker 1: back to the point. Point was music video Shoes two days.
Speaker 1: So our first day was everything you see on the boat,
Speaker 1: so everything in white, all of that, all the like
Speaker 1: white costume, all of that, and then also when I'm underwater,
Speaker 1: so it was everything we did in white. And then
Speaker 1: there's also the stuff in the pool. So we actually
Speaker 1: shot the pool stuff at my director's house. Oddly enough,
Speaker 1: in his pool, it was freezing outside. Luckily the director
Speaker 1: had heated as pool. He heated it to ninety for me,
Speaker 1: so it was like a hot tub, but outside it
Speaker 1: was like hypothermic cold, Like it was so cool outside.
Speaker 1: But I mean, it was so fun. And then our
Speaker 1: second day, day two was our beast stuff. So anything
Speaker 1: in the Black Beast costume, when I'm in the water,
Speaker 1: when I'm in the tank, in the Black Beast costume,
Speaker 1: everything on land, all of the Black Beast costume happened
Speaker 1: on day two. And I arranged the shoot like that
Speaker 1: because I knew I was gonna have more fun in
Speaker 1: the Black Beast costume, because don't get me wrong, Like
Speaker 1: I like looking cool, I like looking girly and pretty whatever,
Speaker 1: but I like to look like radical and freaking epic
Speaker 1: and like wild. And so when I knew what I
Speaker 1: was gonna get to be in that Black Beast look,
Speaker 1: that I was really gonna like it. So we saved
Speaker 1: that for day two, and boy, oh boy, was I right.
Speaker 1: That was so much freaking fun. The water that we
Speaker 1: used in the tank on the day of the Black
Speaker 1: Beast shoot was freezzing. It was only about you see us,
Speaker 1: like how we're like dancing in the ocean that was
Speaker 1: really only about two inches deep of water, maybe even
Speaker 1: an inch and a half deep. And I mean, the
Speaker 1: special effects team on my music videos is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1: The fact that they literally make it look like we
Speaker 1: are on an island when we were in a set
Speaker 1: in the middle of oh gosh, see me Valley somewhere
Speaker 1: like crazy. They're freaking brilliant, and it's fascinating to get
Speaker 1: to be a part of. It's so weird because it
Speaker 1: feels like like we're creeping up on the one year
Speaker 1: anniversary of filming Karma. It feels like I just got
Speaker 1: home from that video shoot yesterday, and like that makes
Speaker 1: me feel so excited for the future. Like I'm literally
Speaker 1: gonna feel like I have kids tomorrow and that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I love how that's when my brain goes having kids
Speaker 1: and users the last thing on that day of the
Speaker 1: music video, I remember we went so far over time,
Speaker 1: and because I'm the one who pays for all my
Speaker 1: music videos, so they're my projects, they're my babies, and
Speaker 1: I invest everything in them, and I am responsible for
Speaker 1: the financials and I love that because then it's it's
Speaker 1: my set, you know what I mean, And so paying
Speaker 1: for it that means I also if we go over time,
Speaker 1: I am paying for it. And overtime is a lot
Speaker 1: of money per minute. It is wild how it works. Uh,
Speaker 1: But we were going overtime on Karma, and I just
Speaker 1: kept joking with the director. I was like, well, guys,
Speaker 1: everyone's getting over time tonight because we're not done. And
Speaker 1: he told me, he was like, we can end now,
Speaker 1: but like we don't have everything we need, Like it's
Speaker 1: up to you. I told him. I was like, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna we made it this far, Like we're not
Speaker 1: gonna havel ass. The last bit now, like we were
Speaker 1: gonna eliminate the shot of me coming out of the water.
Speaker 1: So the shot that like you see me rise out
Speaker 1: of the water, that's the shot where we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to eliminate. And I was like absolutely not, like we
Speaker 1: we have to have that, and thank god we did,
Speaker 1: because that is one of the things that like the
Speaker 1: Internet was like WHOA, what is this? And I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for that. Now. The next thing that
Speaker 1: I want to talk about is kind of in the
Speaker 1: same context but a little different. The crew on Karma.
Speaker 1: There was over ninety people working on this project of
Speaker 1: the Karma music video, which is crazy when you think
Speaker 1: about it. Honestly, I actually there might even be over
Speaker 1: one hundred because we counted ninety, but we only count
Speaker 1: a crew. We didn't count dancers, and so it was
Speaker 1: a little over ninety with crew, but dancers. There was
Speaker 1: six dancers, There was the people on the boat, so
Speaker 1: there was well over one hundred because on the boat
Speaker 1: for extras, I think we had twenty extras plus the
Speaker 1: six dancers plus the two girls, So well over one
Speaker 1: hundred people working on the Karma music video. And truly
Speaker 1: some of the crew, I mean I I've worked with
Speaker 1: some of the crew for years. Of course, we had
Speaker 1: my choreographer Richie, who I've worked with since I was nine.
Speaker 1: On my first TV show he was a judge, but
Speaker 1: then he started working with me on my career when
Speaker 1: I was fourteen, So we have been together now for
Speaker 1: seven years, which is just crazy. He does all my
Speaker 1: music videos, all my live performances, everything. He's a brilliant
Speaker 1: choreographer and creative director. He's brilliant. He's done Gaga for
Speaker 1: the last decades like he's looking genius and I love
Speaker 1: that man with all my heart. The music video director,
Speaker 1: his name is Mark Klassfield. Mark has done all of
Speaker 1: my music videos also since I was fourteen. Oh my gosh, wait,
Speaker 1: that's so cute. Ritchie and Mark actually started with me
Speaker 1: at the same time on the same video. They both
Speaker 1: did Dear Eam as their first jojo project. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that. But Mark has done all
Speaker 1: my music videos since then. He he is brilliant And
Speaker 1: when it came time to Karma, he actually wasn't the
Speaker 1: first person that we called. We talked with some other people,
Speaker 1: branched out a little bit, had some suggestions from other people,
Speaker 1: and then I was like, what about the guy that
Speaker 1: used to do my music videos? Mark? Like why are
Speaker 1: we not talking to him? And my mom was like, well,
Speaker 1: let's take a call with him. And Mark was like,
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this one. Let's go. Because Mark
Speaker 1: had done Britney Spears, he had done some carcass like
Speaker 1: he he has done so much over the years, and
Speaker 1: so he had been waiting. And I feel like Mark
Speaker 1: was one of those people who worked with me when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, so that way he could work
Speaker 1: with me when I was adult. And I'm so grateful
Speaker 1: for that because he is a freaking brilliant human being.
Speaker 1: Kat the photographer on that set of Karma. She she
Speaker 1: is a She has an eye like no other. She
Speaker 1: was the first person that has kind of brought an
Speaker 1: element to me that I was like, wait, you came
Speaker 1: up with that and I and that's crazy. I don't
Speaker 1: know so that could happen because I normally come up
Speaker 1: with all my own ideas. But she is she Okay,
Speaker 1: she does. She does all of Ariana Grande's photography. And
Speaker 1: when I found that out and I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: she wants to worry with me? What I was like
Speaker 1: there's literally no freaking way, and she did, and I
Speaker 1: am so grateful for that because she truly has an
Speaker 1: eye for art that I have never seen anything like.
Speaker 1: She is the most chill but the most chill vibes.
Speaker 1: She is just like, yeah, dude, we can do whatever,
Speaker 1: like we'll make it sick. All of a sudden, I
Speaker 1: showed up at my studio the next day and there
Speaker 1: was a full photo shoot set up, people with walkie talkings,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you planned all this and she
Speaker 1: was like, yes, my team. And I was like, you
Speaker 1: are the coolest human being literally ever, and so like, yeah,
Speaker 1: all the photo shoot ideas those are all hers. It
Speaker 1: was like, just show up where you're costume, to your
Speaker 1: hand makeup and we will be good. And I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, trusting the process and it was beyond my expectations.
Speaker 1: The last person that I just want to highlight on
Speaker 1: the team is my makeup artist. Actually, so typically I
Speaker 1: do all my own hair and makeup. Okay, that's a lie.
Speaker 1: I don't do my own hair. Typically, I do all
Speaker 1: my own makeup, But for the Karma music video, it
Speaker 1: didn't really work out timing wise for me to be
Speaker 1: able to do my own makeup because when I do
Speaker 1: it has to go makeup and then hair, and so
Speaker 1: we didn't really have enough time to do that, so
Speaker 1: they had to be done at the same time. So
Speaker 1: we're like, all right, let's hire a makeup artist. Makeup
Speaker 1: artist that we hired. Her name is Caitlin and she
Speaker 1: actually did my makeup on Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition when
Speaker 1: I was nine years old. So she worked with me
Speaker 1: on my first show, and she worked with me on
Speaker 1: Karma and she is freaking awesome. She she has. She
Speaker 1: brought so many brilliant ideas to the team. She is
Speaker 1: a genius. She's so talented in her work. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I remember sitting there just being like, man, you're really
Speaker 1: good at what you do. Oh my gosh. There was
Speaker 1: a disaster though, when we did the beast makeup, right,
Speaker 1: so you know how you have the beasties started to
Speaker 1: splatter pait my face and you would have thought, I
Speaker 1: like you would have thought, like the world was coming
Speaker 1: crashing down on me. I was like, what are we doing?
Speaker 1: And she was like what it looks cool and I
Speaker 1: was like no, And thank god we ended up taking
Speaker 1: it off because everything worked out the exact way it
Speaker 1: was supposed to do. But it was just a very
Speaker 1: funny set memory where I was like, ah, all right,
Speaker 1: I got two more things for you. First one the
Speaker 1: dance that you know as Karma dance with the shake
Speaker 1: with the jolt, that was not the original step. I
Speaker 1: just saw a video of me doing the Karma dance
Speaker 1: in Karma rehearsals and I was like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: this was the version that we did in the video.
Speaker 1: And I sent it to my choreographer, Richie and I
Speaker 1: was like, Richie, there's no way and he was like, yeah, Judge,
Speaker 1: n that's how it started. And I was like, when
Speaker 1: did a transition to what it is now? And he
Speaker 1: was like, I have no idea, but I love it,
Speaker 1: and like He's like, you took it and ran with it,
Speaker 1: and it's it was just a very more tame version
Speaker 1: than what it is now. But what it is now
Speaker 1: is it freaking works, and I will take it. But
Speaker 1: it's so funny for me to being like, damn, really
Speaker 1: we really go real full out now, But if you
Speaker 1: look at the original version that I have, it's not
Speaker 1: that extreme. And I'm like, man, we look like we're
Speaker 1: marking it. We look like we can breathe. This is
Speaker 1: kind of crazy, all right. The last thing that I
Speaker 1: want to talk about is the timing of when we
Speaker 1: filmed Karma. So it was a little crazy, and by
Speaker 1: a little crazy, I mean a lot crazy. So basically,
Speaker 1: I went from Karma rehearsal, Karma rehearsal, Karma Video, Shoot,
Speaker 1: Karma video, Shoot, Karma photo shoot, Dick Van Dyke rehearsal,
Speaker 1: Dick Van Dyke rehearsal, Dick Van Dyke Rehearsal, Dick Van
Speaker 1: Dyke Shoot Hawaii for my Mom's birthday. So it was
Speaker 1: nine days in a row of back to back, NonStop. Now,
Speaker 1: the reason why I wanted to bring this up is
Speaker 1: because during the Karma filming, I had gotten a video
Speaker 1: of the Dick Van Dyke Step in Time choreography that
Speaker 1: I was going to be doing on the Dick Van
Speaker 1: Dyke TV special. And now here's why I'm so excited
Speaker 1: to talk about this because Step in Time, the number
Speaker 1: that I did on the TV special, just got nominated
Speaker 1: for a freaking Emmy for Outstanding Choreography, And that blows
Speaker 1: my mind. I literally when I tell you, I was
Speaker 1: on set of Karma running Step in Time, and everyone
Speaker 1: was like Jojo, what are you doing? And I was like,
Speaker 1: you don't understand. Like, I have this big TV special
Speaker 1: that I'm doing is for Dick Van Dyke, He's gonna
Speaker 1: be there. I'm performing step in Time, dancing, singing, like
Speaker 1: I have to have this down, like I need to
Speaker 1: learn it off the videos, Like yes, I have rehearsals,
Speaker 1: but like I need to know more, like I need
Speaker 1: to learn it so I go prepared. And long story short,
Speaker 1: it was just really fun to see me in the
Speaker 1: Black Beast costume practicing Step in Time. It was a
Speaker 1: little whack, but yeah. Just got nominated for an Emmy
Speaker 1: for Best Choreography. The choreographer Alison Folk. She is so brilliant.
Speaker 1: She had such a vision for this choreography and such
Speaker 1: a vision. I remember when I took the call initially
Speaker 1: about doing the Dick Van Dyke special. There was no
Speaker 1: talk of me actually dance. It was only me singing.
Speaker 1: And I was like, wait a second. I was like,
Speaker 1: you're talking like Dick Van Dyke and like step in Time, right,
Speaker 1: and they were like yeah. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I need a dance and they were like you know,
Speaker 1: you're like you're the artist on it and I was like,
Speaker 1: ro right, but like that's part of what I can do.
Speaker 1: I was like, I can just stand there and sing.
Speaker 1: But I was like, but let's like really dance and
Speaker 1: they were like what do you mean? And I was like,
Speaker 1: let let me dance, like give me the steps and
Speaker 1: like let's make a big number out of it. And
Speaker 1: I was like, also, I can tap. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I think it'd be really cool to put a little
Speaker 1: tap section in the Dick Van Dike Special. And they
Speaker 1: were like, wait, like you would be down to do
Speaker 1: all this and like down to really go in. And
Speaker 1: I was like, please, please let me go all the
Speaker 1: way in, and so I showed up to rehearsals, showed
Speaker 1: up prepared it it. The videos of me doing Step
Speaker 1: in Time in the Beast costume are just fascinating, and
Speaker 1: so that's why I wanted to kind of talk about it,
Speaker 1: cause the timing of everything and the way that it
Speaker 1: was like the like two most extreme opposite projects happening
Speaker 1: at once in my life. Like here I am Karma,
Speaker 1: black bet like new jumping in water, like going crazy
Speaker 1: I'm an adult now to like step in Time, Steffen Time,
Speaker 1: Come on, Mighty, Step in Time, flop like a party,
Speaker 1: like the context blew my mind. I remember posting on
Speaker 1: my close friend's story like today and yesterday. The difference
Speaker 1: was crazy. But I loved both projects. And I am
Speaker 1: so honored that I was able to bring Allison's choreography
Speaker 1: to life, the production and producer and Dick Van Dyke's
Speaker 1: vision to life. I mean to have them trust me
Speaker 1: to let me be on that stage performing that number,
Speaker 1: and that's the one that got nominated for the Emmy
Speaker 1: is actually crazy and and mind blowing, and I am
Speaker 1: just I'm so grateful. Anyone from the Academy, if you're
Speaker 1: listening to this, please vote for step in Time to
Speaker 1: win that Choreography Emmy. Allison deserves it, Dick Van Dyke,
Speaker 1: everyone on the team deserves it. But either way, I
Speaker 1: can't wait. I'm just I'm just so grateful. What a
Speaker 1: freaking life it is, right, What a life I have?
Speaker 1: What a life we all have? This It's like, if
Speaker 1: I can give you all any advice. Time goes fast,
Speaker 1: which is why I actually wrote the song Yesterday's tomorrows today,
