Kendrick Lamar is the real deal. He's a real artist, and he's gonna be here for awhile because this guy is seriously talented.
The sexiest woman musician is Alicia Keys.
Derek Trucks is a real good new artist. He's a young guy.
John Legend is, in my opinion, classic. He is one of the best finds that has come along in a long time.
The only guest star I really wanted to get but didn't was Bruce Springsteen.
My favorite singer is Lauryn Hill - all time, hands down. She was my biggest inspiration growing up.
Ralph Stanley is like an uncle to us and now that all my uncles are gone, Ralph's singing is even more precious. This album of classic folk songs is one of his best.
Everybody knows who Reba is. She has one name, for goodness sakes! There's only, like, six people in the world that have one name.
I'm happy to have been around greatness like Kendrick Lamar.
I love Adele. Adele is my favorite artist. She's British. She's funny. She's just an amazing, incredible voice, and I love to sing as well.
Babyface is definitely a big inspiration.
Cee Lo is the coolest human being I have ever met in my life.
I love Sam Smith a lot.
Everybody ought to listen to Benny [Carter]. He's a whole musical education.
Sting! I mean, come on - whoe doesn't love Sting? Even if you love Megadeath, you have respect for Sting. If you love Pokemon, you'll find out who Sting is someday.
John Legend is a cool guy. He likes to chill, is easy to talk to and hang out with. He's also inspiring on a musical level.
For Black Music Month, I would definitely want to celebrate Isaac Hayes.
I think Ed Sheeran would be a great collaboration.
I've been a fan of Adele since her first project.
Celine Dion, she's magnificent. She has the voice of an angel.
Steinberg is great. I should like to meet him.
Dallas Austin... where do I begin? I adore him - he is one of the kindest people I know.
Frank Ocean - I have so much respect for him.
When I think of CeeLo Green, I think about previous collaborations, like 'Tears of Joy.'
Carole King is one of my all-time favorite songwriters.
