00:00It's always a love fest with this one.
00:03I don't know you yet, but I've seen you sing twice this week.
00:08I was okay.
00:10It was glorious. I love that song.
00:15But that's not the only song I love.
00:17And I know Ted Cruz, that's not the only song he loves either.
00:20But what I do want to say is, how has it been this week to be outperforming the song,
00:24sounding glorious, by the way, but then also going on vocal rest?
00:27Because you've got to perform again.
00:28So what's the balance been like to go through Grammy week, my brother?
00:31You don't talk.
00:32I'll do this performance and then I don't talk.
00:34My wife has been hating it.
00:36Actually, no, she likes it when I don't talk.
00:38She must love it, Alex.
00:40I'm a yapper, so I guess.
00:41It's funny, too, because I talk like this during talking at a camera right before singing,
00:46but my voice isn't this high.
00:47So everyone watches are like, he doesn't sound like that.
00:50It's just to save my voice.
00:51Yeah.
00:52No, I was just going to say that the first time I saw Alex perform live
00:56was at a very intimate showcase this week.
00:59And I was so blown away at the NMPA.
01:02And I was so blown away because it's lovely when you hear the album and it sounds great
01:09and then you hear it in person and it's better.
01:13Oh, so much.
01:14Better.
01:14I love that.
01:15I was feeling myself during that performance.
01:17That was a fun one.
01:18And I love that you've been so honest about, obviously, your grief, your parents, your family
01:21and everything like that.
01:22So to show up to the Grammys tonight, nominated, best new artist, how does it feel to carry
01:27them with you?
01:27Speaking of honesty, I've pooped three times now.
01:29I have the nervous poops.
01:30It's crazy.
01:31This is quite literally the most terrible.
01:34There's famous people rummaging around the halls.
01:37Yes, every single corner.
01:38Every corner you see a famous person.
01:40I'm about to do a glam bot, I think, or something.
01:42I am so ready to shut up and go back to my trip.
01:45I want a preview.
01:46What's the glam bot move?
01:47I don't know.
01:48Can you teach me something?
01:48I feel like you're maybe a smoldering kind of guy.
01:52You don't have to spin.
01:53Maybe start looking down and just give up and give a smolder.
01:56Practice right now.
01:58How do you feel about it, Layla?
01:59You think you can take that to the glam bot?
02:01I like that.
02:01I think he can take that.
02:02I think he can take that.
02:04What I want to know is after such a smash hit, what's the next song?
02:10I've been working on a few.
02:11I have a song about missing my parents and I have a song about falling in love.
02:14Shocker.
02:16So just stick into what works.
02:18And then you're about to go on tour as well.
02:20So what can fans expect out there?
02:22Oh, that's going to be a fun show.
02:23I'm really excited about it.
02:24I haven't done a proper tour to my album, so I'm going to be sprinkling in some new songs
02:27and then also just being able to really...
02:30It's going to be really magical.
02:32That's the one thing I'm really excited for.
02:33It's my live show.
02:34I have 10 people on stage with me.
02:36Oh, I love that.
02:37It's going to be really cool.
02:37All real music.
02:38Well, good luck tonight, man.
02:39You know I'm rooting for you, so I hope you go up there and kill it, bro.
02:42I got you, but I can't really let my heart.
02:44And I hope you feel your parents looking down on you tonight, especially, right?
02:49Yeah.
02:49Do you feel like they're here looking over your shoulder?
02:51I visited my parents' grave for the first time in a long time before I came here, so
02:54it's just been a nice day.
02:56And I talk to them all day.
02:58I love you, man.
02:59Good luck.
02:59I'll see you inside.
03:00I'll see you inside.
