Short filmTranscript
00:00She's a RuPaul's Drag Race legend, comedian, actor, recording artist, and now Shangela is
00:09shining bright as one of the stars in Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's new film, A Star
00:13is Born, and she's here today to talk to us all about it.
00:16Yes, I am.
00:17Halleloo, I'm back.
00:18Halleloo.
00:19Shangela, thank you so much for being here.
00:20Oh, baby.
00:21Thank you for having me.
00:22Of course.
00:23I saw the film.
00:24It was incredible.
00:25So let's get right into it.
00:26Okay.
00:27Let's talk about your role.
00:28How did it come to be that you're casting in this film?
00:29Well, originally, the role was for, went out for a Marilyn Monroe impersonator.
00:35Okay.
00:36Because that was one of the drag roles in it.
00:38And I just knew, honey, no matter how much time I spent out of the sun, I wasn't going
00:42to look like no Marilyn Monroe.
00:43Okay?
00:44So I was like, I'm not, I probably won't go in for this audition.
00:46It's not my role.
00:47Okay.
00:48And fast forward a few minutes or days after, I got an email from Lady Gaga's
00:54camp.
00:55And they were like, LG.
00:56That's Lady Gaga.
00:57Cool.
00:58The LG wanted to know why you didn't come in for the audition.
01:02She really wanted to see you for this role.
01:04Wow.
01:05And thinks you would be a great fit for it.
01:07And I said, oh, honey, well, if Lady Gaga is asking, I found the nearest blonde wig.
01:11Yeah.
01:12And white dress, honey, put my little beauty mark mole on.
01:15And I went in and I sang, I want to be loved by you, and did the audition.
01:19And then, they liked the audition so much, they decided, did not give me the lip sync
01:24drag role, but to actually offer me the role that had dialogue as the drag bar owner and
01:29MC.
01:30Wow.
01:31So that was really cool to be, you know, handpicked by Lady Gaga, and to be able to be in this film
01:35and have that opportunity.
01:36So I was like, woo, hallelujah.
01:38Yeah, that's incredible.
01:39I mean, so you didn't get to be Marilyn Monroe, but you got dialogue.
01:42You were handpicked by Lady Gaga.
01:44That must feel incredible, or it must have felt incredible.
01:47Tell me about the moment you found out you got offered the role and you were handpicked
01:51by Gaga herself.
01:52Well, I was, I mean, it's all bowing homage and worship to the Gaga, you know.
01:58I was just very thankful that she trusted me.
02:01She and Bradley Cooper both trusted me with this role and that I could do it.
02:05I remember showing up on set and, you know, it's like RuPaul bringing you back to drag
02:09race for me for season two to three.
02:11I just felt a great obligation to do a good job.
02:15Right.
02:16And you know I'm an actress.
02:17I want to come in and do my best job and be a pro.
02:19But I really felt, honey, you better be ultimate extra pro for this one.
02:22Right.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Absolutely.
02:25Now, how did the audition go?
02:27Tell me about the moment you were in front of the casting directors.
02:29Were you nervous at all?
02:30Well, I was sitting up there looking like Black Marilyn, okay?
02:33So that's number one.
02:35And, but you know what?
02:37I've been auditioning and working in Hollywood for a number of years.
02:41You know, I've done guest stars on everything from Two Broke Girls to Community Glee.
02:45Honey, I beat down an alien with my purse on the X-Files.
02:48I was a hooker with a heart of gold on a show called Terriers.
02:51So the audition room is no strange place to me.
02:54And especially when you go in and drag, you have an extra set of armor and confidence.
02:58Right.
02:59But I really want to do a great job every time.
03:01So I had to sing the song, I Want To Be Loved By You.
03:04And I was trying to give up.
03:05You had to sing it live?
03:06Yes.
03:07Oh my God.
03:08Wow.
03:09I was giving them chops.
03:10Yeah.
03:11I love that.
03:12But you know, also Jennifer Lewis had helped me to prepare for the role.
03:14Because you know I live in her basement.
03:15Right.
03:16Still to this day.
03:17You still live in Jennifer Lewis' basement?
03:18Yeah.
03:19Why not?
03:20I did a class in the artist known as Jennifer Lewis on a daily.
03:23That's incredible.
03:24We're great friends.
03:25And I'm not leaving until she kicks me out.
03:26I love that.
03:27So I remember when I was getting ready for the audition, I asked her like, Jen, can
03:31you listen to me?
03:32You know?
03:33And she was like, okay.
03:34So I went up to do the thing and she stopped me on the way through.
03:36She said, honey, listen.
03:38Now, I'm Jennifer Lewis and my time is very valuable, baby.
03:43I'm a huge star.
03:45And I don't have time for you to waste my time.
03:47Now, if you aren't fully prepared, because I flubbed a couple lines in there.
03:50And so she was like, mm-mm.
03:52If Gaga asked you to do something, you don't half step.
03:55You full step.
03:56Full out.
03:57Yes.
03:58So she got me right together.
03:59I went and got my audition right together.
04:01And then I felt even more confident going in there.
04:03I love it.
04:04Now, talk to me about your character.
04:05Your name is Shangela in the movie.
04:07So you're playing a version of yourself, but you're also a drag bar owner.
04:10You are Lady Gaga's character's drag mother.
04:13Is this just a heightened version of who Shangela is or is there an added component to the character?
04:18Well, I really wanted to dive into the character.
04:21You know, being an actor, I wanted to give it that and offer the things that this character
04:26who owned this drag bar would be.
04:28However, you know, I'm on a 181 city tour this year.
04:31Honey, I've worked in drag bars around the world.
04:34The dressing room at a drag club, that's my scene, okay?
04:38So I really felt very comfortable there.
04:40And I was so thankful that Bradley Cooper, as an amazing director on this film,
04:45was so willing to let not only us come in there and feel comfortable, but also let us play a little bit
04:51and expand on some of the dialogue as well.
04:53He said, you know what, I'm going to let you go, go there and then go as far as you want
04:57and I'll pull you back if I feel I need to.
05:00And he was really open to us, you know, adding a couple little pieces here
05:03to make it more authentic and fabulous, you know.
05:06Great, yeah.
05:07I kind of felt like I was watching an episode of Drag Race when I was watching those scenes.
05:10Like it felt very real.
05:11Did he have to pull you back at all?
05:13Oh, I'm Shangela.
05:14Who's going to pull me back?
05:15No one can pull you back.
05:17No, you know what?
05:18He was just such a nurturing director.
05:21Yeah.
05:22You know, sometimes you go on a set and it's just very dun-dun-dun.
05:25But he knew what he was doing so well and he really, you could tell he really cared about this scene.
05:30Right.
05:31And these scenes.
05:32And allowed us to do our best work.
05:33And he understood that, you know, yes, there was a great dialogue.
05:37They've written a fantastic script.
05:38But to make it even more authentic, let the girls be.
05:41Right.
05:42And that's what we got to do.
05:43Even in watching it, I was like, you know what I mean?
05:44I was like, ooh, professional.
05:45That's me, girl.
05:46I'm a professional.
05:47So I just love it.
05:48And I had such a great time in there.
05:50And then also the chemistry between my character, you know, the drag bar owner, who is Lady Gaga's
05:55drag mother, and Gaga's character, Ally, in this film, really spoke to who we are and what
06:00we create in that back room.
06:02And, you know, a lot of drag queens will see this and know that in the drag world, the dressing room is a family.
06:08Right.
06:09And it's just like a family reunion or a holiday, a Thanksgiving.
06:11It felt like that in the film.
06:12There's going to be fights.
06:13There's going to be reading.
06:14There's going to be good times.
06:15And drunks.
06:16Okay.
06:17All of it.
06:18And all of that was in that film.
06:19I think that the two of us have just such a great love.
06:22I had a great love for her.
06:23She was my baby in the film.
06:25And it's really fun to see.
06:26Yeah.
06:27I felt that.
06:28Now, I love the way that you and the rest of the queens were introduced in the film.
06:31It really felt special.
06:32It felt like not only were you Gaga's family but Bradley's character who was so rugged and masculine.
06:38He immediately embraced you.
06:39In a time when portrayals of drag queens on television can, you know, sometimes are the butt of the jokes.
06:44Did this feel like a move in the right direction in terms of the narrative?
06:48One hundred percent yes.
06:50You know, it was very cool when we got the script and then to see it even the way it played out on screen.
06:56To see that, no, it wasn't a punch line.
06:58You know, a lot of times in drag, oh, let's see if that's a man.
07:01You know, different jokes.
07:03It wasn't that.
07:04And his character came into our experience in that world.
07:08He stumbled in not knowing what he was walking into and then openly just took it for what it was.
07:14He embraced it.
07:15Exactly.
07:16It was a slice of life.
07:17And I think that more people hopefully will be inspired to even be more accepting and respectful.
07:24And also understand this just is sometimes a real slice of life.
07:28It wasn't, it didn't seem forced like they're trying to make you feel a certain way.
07:32It's just a cut out of someone's experience.
07:35And that's my experience a lot of times from RuPaul's Drag Race.
07:38We have so many fans that come from so many different walks of life.
07:41We have, you know, fabulous members of our LGBTQ community.
07:44We have straight community as well.
07:47Women come with their husbands.
07:48They're like, my husband and I'll watch the show together, the kids.
07:51So, this was a part of that.
07:53Yeah.
07:54I love that.
07:55Now, this is a big deal.
07:56Not only is it a huge feature film, but you're working with two huge A-listers.
08:00How did you prep for your first day on set?
08:02Were you nervous at all?
08:03I wasn't nervous, but I did want to rise to the occasion.
08:07Yeah.
08:08You know, I prepare and then honey.
08:09For this one, I was prepared.
08:11Okay.
08:12I said, I'm going to walk in here and I want, I just kind of psyched myself up in the mirror.
08:16Like, okay, come on.
08:17Come on, fish.
08:18You're going to walk in here.
08:19You're going to get this together.
08:20And you're going, you know, because you have greats.
08:22I mean, these are people who are at the top of their game.
08:25Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga, people who have established themselves as icons.
08:30These are award-winning people.
08:32But you can't let all that play into your head.
08:34They hired me to do a job.
08:35I'm an actress, fish, and I'm about to come in here and do my job.
08:38And that's what I did.
08:39You did.
08:40Now, without giving away too much, this really isn't a flash in the pan cameo.
08:43You have a good amount of screen time.
08:45I was surprised.
08:46Yeah, and I understand that Lady Gaga actually requested for you and your Drag Race pal,
08:51Willem, to come back to film an additional scene.
08:53Well, she and Bradley both, and the writers on this film, I think they just knew that we
08:59had a great chemistry thing working.
09:01Yeah.
09:02And some of the script got expanded a little, and that was really awesome to see.
09:06But they all worked together to make that happen.
09:08They have so many great people working on this film that are the masterminds behind it.
09:12And you know, when any of them call, if Bradley Cooper or Lady Gaga asks, honey, I shall deliver.
09:16And I surely did.
09:17It was awesome.
09:18You absolutely did.
09:19It was also really fun to see you and Willem on screen together.
09:22What was it like working with him on this?
09:24Oh, well, you know, Willem and I have a great time together.
09:27Yeah.
09:28We've worked together in the Hurricane Bianca 1 movie.
09:31We've toured together.
09:32And it's funny watching it back because even things that I have forgotten that we either
09:37said or looked, those are real natural.
09:39Right.
09:40Because Willem is the kind of character, on and off screen, that pushes boundaries and
09:45goes the extra mile.
09:46And you know me, I'm professional fish.
09:48And I'm like, here she goes again, trying to get this man a sign.
09:51Oh, Lord, here we go.
09:52And so it was very natural.
09:54Yeah.
09:55You know, the chemistry that we have together.
09:56So I'm always excited to work with her.
09:58She's fun.
09:59Totally.
10:00Now, how would you describe the chemistry between Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper?
10:03You were fortunate enough to work in scenes that involved both of them.
10:06Mm-hmm.
10:07Honey, I thought my lace front was gonna come loose from all the steam.
10:10They, you know, they have such a magnetic chemistry together and also as individuals.
10:17They have great presence.
10:18Bradley walks into a room and you're like, ooh, hello, Mr. Cooper.
10:21You know, fabulous and fine and talented.
10:24And the same with Gaga.
10:25And Gaga has this kind of like magical presence that's just also so honest and authentic.
10:34And it breaks down your walls and makes you feel as in within 30 seconds that y'all are just homegirls.
10:40Like your family.
10:41Yeah.
10:42So basically, she probably, if I remember correctly, had to tell me, all right, that's enough.
10:45Because I was just going on and on like, girl.
10:47Telling her your life story.
10:48Totally.
10:49She got my whole life story.
10:50Oh, my God.
10:51But we had a great time together.
10:52And the two of them together, it's hot.
10:54And then now watching the film, it translates so well into it.
10:57Yes.
10:58Very sexy.
10:59Mm-hmm.
11:00Allelu.
11:01What was the downtime?
11:02You said you were able to chat with Gaga for a little bit.
11:04But were you able to like kick it and like have fun with them?
11:07Yes.
11:08More so Gaga than Bradley Cooper, who was also very fun.
11:11But you know, he was working.
11:12Yeah.
11:13When they were switching around cameras.
11:14He's directing.
11:15He's back there directing, doing his thing.
11:16And Gaga, I thought, you know, she would just pack it up and go to her trailer when they
11:20call cut to move the cameras and stuff around.
11:22But no.
11:23She hung out with the doll, honey.
11:25Yes.
11:26And you know me.
11:27I went into full on let me ask questions.
11:29Let me, I'm doing Oprah moments and everything.
11:31Because I was just, it was so, you have to remember, for Gaga, I'm a fan first.
11:36Right.
11:37And co-star in this film with her second.
11:39I've seen every tour, I've seen every performance, Coachella, Super Bowl, all of it.
11:45So I'm sitting there and I'm like, Gaga.
11:47How did you hold it together if you're such a big fan?
11:49Oh, well, I'm Shangela.
11:50You know, I've done all that too.
11:51No kidding.
11:52But to be honest, I was like, I'm not going to waste this moment.
11:55And plus, you know, she's a fun-loving person.
11:58And I was just telling her stories.
12:00I was like, girl, you know, how is it working with Beyonce?
12:03You know, y'all have worked together three times.
12:05And she's like, no, Sharon, I think we've worked together two.
12:08And I'm like, no, three.
12:09And she's like, no, two.
12:11Video, phone, telephone.
12:13And I'm like, no.
12:14See, what you don't know is, one time I was booked as a guest star in the show Bones.
12:18And, girl, they told me I was going to be performing Run the World.
12:20So I had the whole Beyonce, the blonde costume made.
12:23I had the Beyonce hair, Beyonce boots.
12:25I show up to set.
12:26They couldn't clear Run the World.
12:28But they did get to clear Just Dance.
12:30So they told me, you'll be doing Lady Gaga Just Dance.
12:32Well, I love Just Dance too.
12:34But I told a girl for that one, I was dressed as Beyonce.
12:37Singing Lady Gaga.
12:38Singing Lady Gaga.
12:39That's your third collaboration.
12:40Well, she thought that was hilarious.
12:41She loved it.
12:42Shan.
12:43I love that she calls you Shan.
12:44She does, me too.
12:45I'm having tattooed on me somewhere.
12:47Oh my god, yes.
12:48And her handwriting.
12:49Oh.
12:50At one of these premieres, you have to get her to write it on your body.
12:52Well, that's only if I get close enough again.
12:54Yeah.
12:55Because at this past London premiere, I was all over her, honey, like honey, on a piece of
13:00toast, on a Popeye's biscuit.
13:01I was like, Gaga!
13:03But she was so wonderful.
13:05She looked, you know, she had on the McQueen, Shakespearean, like, doll look.
13:09She looked incredible.
13:10Yes, she did.
13:11And I looked alright, too.
13:12No, you looked stunning.
13:13That hair was...
13:14No, stop.
13:15No, stop.
13:16No, stop.
13:17Now, you worked with Lady Gaga on the lyric video for her 2013 song, Applause.
13:22Yes.
13:23What was that experience like versus A Star Is Born?
13:25Well, the Applause music video, it was, everything seemed like a full on blur because I got the
13:32call earlier that day from my friend Perry Meek, who at the time was working with her as a tour costume
13:37stylist.
13:38And he was like, the lady has requested.
13:40That's Gaga.
13:41The lady.
13:42The lady has requested that you, if you and Courtney act, would be interested in being in her
13:48Applause lyric video.
13:49The song just came out.
13:50The album just dropped today.
13:52You need to learn the song and perform it tonight.
13:54Okay.
13:55Lip Sync Assassin to finish.
13:56Let's get it together.
13:57So, I had to learn the album as well as doing the art pop makeup, you know, with the white
14:01and the smear, the Kunz look.
14:02Right.
14:03And so, I remember we were rushing to get there.
14:06And then Courtney and I literally had to go right on because they were like, Gaga just
14:09arrived.
14:10And so, it's going to be chaos and madness out there.
14:12Let's do this right now.
14:13So, we run on and the light is so bright on the stages at Mickey's and West Hollywood.
14:18And the light is so bright that all I could see was darkness out there, but I was looking
14:22for Gaga.
14:23So, I saw blonde and sunglasses over here.
14:25So, I said, blowing kisses.
14:27You know, bowing as I'm doing the video.
14:30Well, the cameraman, if this is okay for me to tell this quick story.
14:33The cameraman's on stage, right?
14:35And he's all in my face with this camera and I said, baby, thank you, but I'm trying
14:39to perform for Gaga.
14:40So, I just cordially, you know, shifted him to the side.
14:43Push him out of the way.
14:44Just cordially shifted him so I could do Gaga.
14:46And so.
14:47Did she notice?
14:48Well, I'm doing the whole thing and then I noticed that the audience is filming with their
14:53cell phones.
14:54The cameraman.
14:55I was like, why the hell did they fit?
14:56So, I turned, because I'm also on stage, hello?
14:58Right.
14:59I'm trying to twirl for Gaga.
15:00I turned, girl, Gaga was the cameraman.
15:03No.
15:04She had dyed her hair brown.
15:05Yes.
15:06She had the updo with the cropped bang and the back shave.
15:08You pushed Gaga out of the way.
15:10Babe, cordially shifted.
15:12Okay.
15:13Cordially shifted, Gaga out of the way.
15:14So, now I'm like, oh Lord, I'm never going to get a book in again.
15:17So, I start, you know, bowing and homage and like, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
15:21It's all in the video.
15:22But truly, you know, she was so kind after that and went upstairs with us and chatted
15:26with us and was like, I've been waiting to get back to the club.
15:29And it was just awesome.
15:30She kicked it with the girls and she hasn't changed.
15:32That's one thing that stayed the same from the applause lyric video to filming A Star
15:36Is Born.
15:37But this time I got to see her in a different light.
15:39Right.
15:40She's on set.
15:41She's an actress.
15:42She's so good.
15:43And it was like watching a master class, you know, one of those Oprah master classes,
15:47you know.
15:48And she was very focused but also very light and fun.
15:52And it made us all feel more comfortable on the set to do our best work as well.
15:56If there's anything you've learned from working with Lady Gaga, what would you say
15:59it is?
16:00To be honest, you know, she really, you can tell that even when she's in her character,
16:08she puts her heart into it and it makes it so authentic.
16:11It just comes out smooth, you know, like butter.
16:14It's just like mmm.
16:15So that's how I really want to be.
16:17And also to just go there.
16:21You know, even in watching the film back now, seeing the whole thing, she really goes
16:25there.
16:26And, you know, even though she's an entertainer and she's Gaga and she's all around the world
16:30and she's a great musician and a singer, she also puts her heart into acting.
16:34So it says, don't just put yourself into this one box.
16:37Yes, I'm a drag entertaining diva, but also if you're going to be an actor, be a good actor
16:41and put the work in.
16:42Yeah, absolutely.
16:43Well, you are definitely putting in the work.
16:44You're in the middle of a 181 city world tour.
16:47You're promoting a film.
16:49How do you maintain stamina and what motivates you to keep going?
16:53Well, Starbucks, number one.
16:57And also, you know what, the fans around the world are so electric.
17:03That's how you feel it.
17:04Sometimes you go on stage and you can feel they're screaming so loud.
17:08Especially in those clubs in like Brazil.
17:10You know, I've been everywhere from Curitiba to Sao Paulo, Rio, Belo Horizonte.
17:15Sometimes they party late, but the clubs are so small and there's so many people packed in there.
17:20You feel the energy on the stage and that's what really keeps me going.
17:24I give a high energy show, but the fans give me so much energy and life back.
17:29It makes me, I'm not tired at all.
17:31Honey, next?
17:32Honey, next?
17:33What's next?
17:34No, the world has obviously gotten to know you as Shangela, but underneath all this fabulosity is Mr. DJ Pierce.
17:39Are you actively looking for roles out of drag as well?
17:42I know you've had some in the past.
17:44Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm just the makeup wipe away from a man.
17:48But I will say, yes, I've been fortunate to work in and out of drag in shows like, you know,
17:54movies like Hurricane Bianca 1 and 2 and on 2 Broke Girls and a pilot that Michael Patrick
17:59King did as well.
18:01I want to do it all.
18:02I say there's probably eight people living up in my head.
18:04Honey, they all have to pay rent.
18:06So whatever I can do, I've learned to never give up on yourself.
18:10You know, I came in season two, a drag race with, you know, a dream and no makeup on basically.
18:15And now here I am.
18:17And I want to explore every option possible.
18:19So I'm hoping to, you know, work with great people like writers like Lena Way, who I love to death in L.A.
18:24Shonda Rhimes, you know, I'm a scandal, how to get away with murder kind of a diva.
18:27Give Shanji a call.
18:28Yes, call me up.
18:29And even maybe even hosting the Oscars one day.
18:32Yes, the Oscars.
18:33Give me a gown, honey.
18:35I love it.
18:36Well, speaking of the Oscars, A Star is Born is getting a lot of Oscar buzz.
18:40How does that feel to be a part of such an acclaimed project that's already expected to do so well this award season?
18:46It's a lot to take in, to be honest, but it's very, very cool.
18:51I just am happy to see that we did a great job, even in the scenes, but also to be a part of this magic.
18:57It's really cool.
18:59That's all.
19:00It's really cool.
19:01And I hope that we get nominated for an Oscar.
19:03I hope Lady Gaga and Bradley and everyone gets nominated.
19:06But also, if I don't get an invitation, honey, I will still be there.
19:09If I have to be the bathroom attendant in my gown, handing out mints and listening to the door for our name.
19:15You'll do it.
19:16A halleloo.
19:17I will be hallelooing from the back, bitch.
19:18I will be so excited.
19:19Halleloo.
19:20All right, well, since the film is getting so much Oscar buzz, I thought it would only be fitting that you do an Oscar-worthy performance of your season three RuPaul's Drag Race monologue, Sugar Daddy.
19:31What?
19:32Right here, right now in studio.
19:33What do you think?
19:34Well, I'm not rehearsed.
19:35Of course I am, darling.
19:36Find me the light.
19:37Find me the light.
19:38I have a script.
19:39Oh, I don't need it.
19:40Really?
19:41Mm-mm.
19:42Professional.
19:43I will be playing the role of Mimi.
19:44I'm first.
19:45Oh, that's good.
19:46Okay, good.
19:47Let me envision you there.
19:48All right, yes.
19:49Love to Mimi.
19:50Let's send some love to Mimi.
19:51All right.
19:52All right.
19:53I'm going to start out with the supermodel Rodeo Drive line.
19:55Mm-hmm.
19:56Mm-hmm.
19:57You can come down the runway and look like you've stepped off Rodeo Drive like a supermodel.
20:00I will never look like that.
20:02True.
20:03You will never be glamour.
20:04Just because you've got a sugar daddy who pays for everything for you, like...
20:08Awww.
20:09That's everybody else in the room.
20:11Awww.
20:12Hold up, sweetheart.
20:13Time out.
20:14Hold up.
20:15Let's get it together before you want to read.
20:17I don't have a sugar daddy.
20:19I never had a sugar daddy.
20:20If I wanted a sugar daddy, yes, I'd probably go out and get one because I am what?
20:24Sickening.
20:25You could never have a sugar daddy because you are not that kind of girl.
20:27Everything I have, I've worked for.
20:28I've built myself on the ground up.
20:29You bitch!
20:30Oh, my God.
20:31And then we throw drinks at each other.
20:32Well, yeah.
20:33I should have brought some props.
20:35Oh, not with this outfit.
20:36Absolutely not.
20:37Should I win the award?
20:40And the Oscar goes to Shangela.
20:42You already won an Oscar and you haven't even attended yet.
20:45Well, honey, all I can say is two halleloo's way up.
20:48Two halleloo's.
20:49Shangela, thank you so much for being here.
20:50I really appreciate it.
20:51I appreciate you giving the performance of a lifetime right here in our studio.
20:55And you guys need to check out Shangela.
20:57Give another outstanding performance in A Star Is Born, which is in theaters now.
21:01Yeah.
21:02Yes.
