THR Full Oscar Songwriters Roundtable: Justin Timberlake, John Legend, Alicia Keys & More! 

Same

Right

Ikr.

Same

Same!!!!

Shut up

He is like one of my best dreams

I have so much respect for him, as he depicts himself as a person first and an artist second although he's an EGOT he sure don't act like it

@@supreme5580 Wow! Very talented!

John Is insane humanist lol

LET S NOT FORGET PRINCE & THAT SPEAKING VOICE SO SOFT

Musicians have to be quite so they can create. Or so it can be easier for them to create. Especially song writer's..

Strong people don’t lead by ego.

Great point. The quite, soft spoken ones, are the reflective ones. The ones that observe and intake...and then speak, except maybe JT lol.

Musicians? All play instruments?

Ironically, she stepped down from her position and gave that position to one of those two male hosts from the previous interviews. variety.com/2017/biz/news/janice-min-out-hollywood-reporter-1201979092/

Well they need to get her back. She brilliantly lead the discussion and asked great questions. Once again the people with the money show how far their heads are up their asses.

Amen! She was brilliant at facilitating an interesting discussion between the artists we wanted to hear from instead of dominating it like that awful English host.

The other great female moderator, Stacy something... left THR as well. I wonder if it had something to do with not getting the good opportunities despite being much more capable than Galloway and co.

If only Justine would let Tori speak

the best interview I´ve ever heard in these roundtables, by the way what´s her name?

@@maryaccentidiomes6414 Janice Min, as in: Belloni wrote, taking over her position: “Very excited for this new challenge, big thanks to @janicemin for, well, everything.”

My favorite kind of interviewer. The guy that sometimes does the round tables likes interrupting and I get so annoyed by it. What gems are we missing when he cuts people off?

That's because you're not a millennial, ie: you actually know who Sting is.

I had to laugh when JT was trying to make the Trolls movie sound deeper than it really was😂

Alicia's one beautiful woman.

Would love another roundtable with Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, David Foster, Baby Face, Diane Warren and Max Martin

I have no idea why everyone in the comment section is hating on JT. He’s a legend and most of these artist have publicly said they respect and admire him and his work.

Wish I could like this comment a million times...

Even without make-up. She's a natural beauty!

She is such a beautiful soul.

Keyes will go down as a Queen, and one of the greats! great episode! any one wanna write a song with me?

agree!

She has a fantastic smile.

Yup. But in my case, wasn't just my heart that "tightened"

I know I'm genuinely surprised how pretty she is with no makeup! Easy to do no makeup if one is that pretty.

Relatable, have a nice day. She always speaks with passion and it's inspiring.

She resembles my cousin like crazy!

lmao I was tryin to figure that out too

@@bilimbilin braaa.... i know wtf is that?

Same!!

I think it’s his hair

It's some hairdo style, he left a section of his hair to be styled differently..

they're not the vessels, they're the creators. they have to access creativity and produce. actors have to tap into something else to accurately portray a certain character in the right way. makes sense that these guys seem more serene and insightful

+Mvntis. Yup you are right. That explains it.

Mvntis well said

Totally agree. Singers are like actors. They have to put forward a feeling and emotion to accurately get the song across. These are artists at this table. These are songwriters and producers who sing. Big difference.

@Reub C and @Seba Zeb thanks!

I don't know... As a parent, you do search out entertainment that has some lessons and context and Trolls did a good job of telling the story about unlikely friendships and coming together. It might just be that the movie was deeper than you recognized.

and I'm completely,utterly,sincerely….sure EVERYONE at the table thought the same thing although it may had been a fleeting one...lol..like his point.lol

Did he even mention that Max Martin, and Shellback co wrote the song. Mega hit maker Max Martin.Guess I must have missed that. I wish I got credit for suggesting the tiny amount that Justin contributes to the song writing process. Will the day ever come when he writes totally be himself. I wont hold my breath waiting.

@@advocacynaccountablity no kid aspires to look like a troll or teletubby so the part about progress from the troll being a role model for girls bc of having a belly and weird hair?

😂😂😂😂😂

Didn't it!!? Interesting...

She can definitely command when she wants.

Timestamp please?

Like a kid throwing a tantrum. You just gotta let them cry themselves tired🤣

tori amos is ;)

icexplura - Tori's the most interesting artist on this table and the only one whom I have records from.

John Constantine Marinakis Kipps disagree. I only have one record by her and everyone at that table is interesting

@SUN ZAHO YEP.

I would LOVE to see Sting get more talk time

@@fuchsiasfusionshow tf would you know? Y’all pick any reason to attack this man and it’s TIRED. Buncha bullies.

She’s a fairy!

Omg yes agreed, sometimes beautiful people just shine.

She seems really depressed though, poor her.

I know. It made me so happy that Justin loves her as much as I do. Everyone at the table loved her by the end of the roundtable as well. Those dimples radiate positivity.

Hmmm…… it’s u for me

JusticeBlackened Well, at this generation it is, however I'm 54 yrs old. So, I have seen some greatest music artist in my time!

Watch the one with Jeff Bridges = Phenomenal

she meant that this might be the best interview, not the best Musiicians ;)

Alicia's one beautiful woman.

YES I would love that

Great idea.

Thats why im here in the comments to figure out what it is lol

😂😂😂😂💯

no really tho lmao @@chrisjfox8715

lmao!!!!!

I’m sooooooo distracted by that!! What the heck? Do we know?

Wisdom is friendly with age, and is far less fond of youth. Youth is more eager to express what it knows and what it's all about. I don't know how this was cut, but I notice how Sting just bides his time and finally spoke up. I'd like to see those two interviewed more at length. (By the way Sting has had an Oscar nominated song or two, also.)

They are easily the most experienced people at the table - musically and life-wise. But they are humble and eager to hear what others say.

It's called maturity and wisdom because they've heard it all before

@@adsensedd well they are the oldest there....

Cause nobody else showed respect😂

You just discoverd basic human thought didn't you🤣. Here is basically what you said. " I love how she said red is red because it's red"

Its tough to express as a guy, but she really had an effect on me as well. I heard little Earthquakes for the first time I was 14. I came from a totally destroyed home, drugs, abuse, etc. I had been recruited to a high school for my athletic ability (though I was very smart as well). Add on I never had a mother (she died in childbirth in 1980). She was the first female that ever spoke to me on a real level. When she sang "First my left foot then my right behind the other" I felt like an angel was out there and understood how it all seemed so fake and how lightly I had to tread. Of course she wasn't talking about my situation, but someone out there was seeing it in their own way too. That empowered me to follow my heart.. not to mention everything else she wrote. Within 2 years I'd quit all the nonsense and transferred to an art school. I found myself and though I never got famous or made a million dollars, I learned to love myself. And it wouldn't have happened without Tori.

@@billhicks6449 that’s beautiful. So strange that men stop themselves from connecting to a female’s point of view/ voice/ vision…. Tori does have a power to connect if you let it. Thanks for sharing ♥️

@@billhicks6449 that’s hard but something amazing came from that.

@@beebee242 hey Jupiter!

@@billhicks6449 …🎶Nothing's been the same.. ♥️♥️

i skipped only to watch her smile

Then she speaks. Mind blown, beautiful brain and soul to match her exterior.

Ive been staring at her since she dropped song in a minor

Cliche AF

No such thing as “your truth” there is only “the truth” and “a lie”

@@crewdawg9730 it’s her quote.. not yours lol

@@lessismore8533 and a stupidly wrong one that only people that don't know how to do things honestly say. It's basically umbrella term form " i'm gonna do what I want because I can even if it makes no logical sense at all and makes me look like an idiot".🤣

yes, yes yes yes yes,,

Agreed!!!

UWCB She is absolutely awful and borderline has no intellect nor basic ability to talk about anything meanful, and had condescending remarks the entire interview.

Ernie Nab - Me too! I wish I could just hear her parts and not hear everybody else yap and yap.

Tori leaves me breathless everytime 😍

Incredible artist.

Note how proud she looks and fascinated while listening to Alicia -- I thought that was beautiful.

hahaha, people dont go on tv without make up so i dont know what you mean by almost no makeup/... she has enough make up on for it to take hours done by professional and not by yourself in a bathroom with cheat makeup... this is high end stuff... come on now...

@@bjvu9460 Alicia keys doesn’t wear makeup at all... so what are you even talking about

@@bjvu9460 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GmbFPPiK6D8.html

B Jvu alicia keys doesn’t wear makeup... bye

@@isabelthurlow412 like it’s literally obvious too lmao but men are clueless lmaoo

Bruh yall these day put people on such a useless undeserved pedastal it's ridiculous🤣

@@mjedits8357 I was just thinking that about Tori Amos like something about her just seems so pretentious as she tries to conceal that as best as she can. Like she's all like ''well my audience doesn't know they're contributing to my shows'' well yeah it's because you dont look all that inviting for people to be themselves LOL

agreed

RoLayne Flo ya it's pretty cool that none of them have any thing to prove and also they are involved with a different industry so they have to be humble and listen

Except for Justin.

Sting is in a different league.

She is and always has been simply amazing. We the public are lucky to have her giving us her music

These are all peers except Sting. He’s in a whole different league from the others.

@@peterbigblock Exactly!!!

They’re all in some league, and they’re all legit in their own path

Thank you for the update. Let's all do what we can so this doesn't happen again

it is such a tragedy

This video piqued my interest in the girls' stories but my headspace is currently not in the right place to be diving into such atmosphere.

Oh my goodness I watched their story on Netflix a few years ago...and was so angry and shocked and revolted and could not believe such a thing could have been allowed to happen!! Am so so sad to hear Daisy took her life after such a horrible ordeal and the fact she was still copying with it all years after!! And she then looses her Mom who fought against everyone in that town... I hope the family can find peace of mind and manage to go on!!!

Right!! Isn't it disgusting!! I haven't seen the documentary.... going to do that now though lol! But I've seen too many instances like this and it's just horrifying!!

🤣🤣😆😆😂😂🤣🤣😆😆😆

boo to you

They need a booster seat for him at this table.

And in that way, I can relate to his jitteriness, impostor syndrome innit.

Legendary

That would an hour each! Lol absolutely legendary

Good choices

David Foster would be the Justin Timberlake....not in terms of writing thou 😃

YES!!

The older you get, the more you just listen.

Ana Barajas...I think it’s quite telling that the elder two had the least to say.

I also hated the complete disregard for Sting by the interviewer, then saying Pharell and John were the biggest stars on the table! Like bitch, do you even know anything about this man's career?! She seemed really ignorant to be honest and not one of the better hosts.

The Sufi M.D Exactly some of these interviews are oblivious to who they really have at the table

Me too. But they have been in the business so long there music speaks for them.

To the world really, her energy is pure and joyful

Alicia is a gift to the world. I am really impressed by her.

I must be tired, I read that as Africa is a gift to the music industry lol

Get out of your bubble kid, and have higher standards.

Sting had a VERY different energy as young - turbo add and adhd

Would have loved to hear more from him.

He the only actual musican On this line up. He has the least to proove and talk about. The rest are desperate for attention.

I agree 100%. And he was going over a lot of their heads with some of the things he was saying. Alicia and Tori were kind of understanding it, but John Legend was looking at him like he grew two heads.

@@KFordVideos Yeah he was using a lot of esoteric jargon, like the aether and the difference between the ego and the self. You can tell John was like the e what is my university now?! XD is he speakin alien? Sting, Tori and Alicia defo get it. I'm actually surprised at how into it Pherell is, I had no idea how spiritual he was, as he isn't really my kinda artist.

Absolutely agree. Can't agree on that hair choice. I have to believe it is not a conscious choice. I don't like being critiqued, but if I ever do that, or anything of the sorts, please call me out. One man to another. We have to bond together lol.

is he fuck..

He’s one of those lol....pharell😂

Are you the Michel my bro?

That's strange because she comes off as a complete idiot.

@@shannonbegood587 You are just a racist insecure woman who feels threatened by asians. Get over it.

@@michelrenaud3431 Thats not true. My maid is asian and she is very efficient at her job. She has worked for my family for at least 17 years. Even her kids would help her sweep, mop, and dust my family's home. A racist is something I am not.

I disagree. Shes stiff, awkward and changes topics right after 1 or 2 answers like she forgot the topic

lmao

I just paused it when he started talking about it to 1)stop watching 2)see if anyone else in the comments felt the same

@@priscillamarcia4081 he said "hold on we have a female protagonist that has a BeLly" and I couldn't stop laughinggg the man is talking about a fictional troll

Right lmao I cringed

😂😂😂

Agreed. Love watching these actors and entertainers so open

Dylan Blue yeah, me too! I'm a makeup artist (a certified one lol) and I always thought that I had to use makeup everyday. She showed me that's not the case!

Dylan Blue my problem was that she only did it once she got rid of her acne and her skin was clear. I wish she had talked about that when she talked about why she stopped wearing makeup.

Dylan Blue she does say though beauty is different to everyone and make up is still beautiful she isn't bashing women who wear it she is just expressing her true self think that's important

Dylan Blue I respect the message but truthfully I don't respect her movement because I don't think it's genuine. Alicia was proactive spokesperson who dealt with acne for a long time, I would've respected it so much more if she would have done this back then.

Babe With A Stack well it's not as if people are fixed in a certain mentality all of their life. Not that she's had her fair share of success she probably doesn't care about endorsements and other things

Why is it empty

I see what you did there ;)

diovi rae tumampos ... mind blowing !!!!

Wow! That really should be something!

Same thought I had like even if just a few decided to colloborate...wow. Yah musicians are really serious about their craft.

And they are so genuine with each other, no jealousy whatsoever, even praising another's work. Beautiful stuff.

Hello Christmas number 1.

me too! THR is the best

This comment about JT aged very well 😂

Fakes/nothings/losers

R8-TV I agree! Some feel good music

Justin, Pharell, Timbaland, AND Max Martin are in the process of doing his next album

Well here it is now man. Curious what your thoughts are, cause everyone is parroting the critics rn and to me there are some dope songs on that album tbh

For real. He's always been outgoing and "loud", it's not like he's being selfish. He has that bright personality.

Yes u r right..hes the legend

A legend he said 😂

his "legend" does not exclude his being disrespectful which is noticeable if you watch the whole thing

He appropriated black culture but let a REAL LEGEND Janet Jackson take the blame at the superbowl and let media crusify her career for 15 years! He's a snake!

It was rude that she did ask Sting first about when was the first time he started having an admiration for music.

54:28 "Zip it, and listen." I think Tori is speaking to you, Justin hahaha

That's because they were waiting for her to say something profound and enlightening, sadly that never happened because she said a whole lot of nothing.

But JT and Pharell interrupted her captivating story just to make silly joke. Another Man again, another mannequin. Haha we are laughing

Sting had that same face.

@genelle .ge You're reading into her facial expressions your own bias. I'm quite CERTAIN she respects all the incredibly talented and wonderful artists she's sitting with. It's one thing to idolize an artist you love, its quite another to ascribe your silly idolatry to their thoughts a feelings. In fact, if you *really* loved and respected Tori, the last thing you should do is assume whats going on in their mind for them. Sorry, but this was a completely stupid comment.

neo7th So is Pharrell.

neo7th he was listening, which is a sign of his age and maturity plus he is surrounded by these kids who were in grade. School or high school when The Police had there greatest hits. He even points out how he is the oldest on this panel.

He was quality over quantity. The few times he spoke were excellent.

MrDaryllv Pharrell is a boy compared to Sting and what he did with the Police

Sting is a legend because he controls his ego. He spoke when he was ready to speak. A wise man always knows when to listen..queue my eye roll at JT

She seemed really shy, timid.
