Tell us about that recording session,

what was that like?

I mean, you know, she came to the studio,

and I had the beat.

And she came, I see she caught that bounce,

I knew it was goin', I knew it was ready.

All she had to do was put that voice on there.

- She just caught the bounce! - Yes, it was just ready to go.

- It was just ready to go, ready to vibe. - (LAUGHS) It was ready to go.

I feel like I really know you now.

INSTRUCTOR: Ooh, you gotta big show!

This is Glee, right?

This is the big Mariah Carey episode.

I am very humbled to be here to salute that amazing woman.

CRISS: What count is it on? I have no idea.

This is in... fabulous.

Meanwhile all my friends in drag are like... "You look like (bleep)".

place, so, yeah, so they can feel like they can

just come there. It's like their second home

And we tried to do some fan favorites

the last time around, and stuff like that.

nice for me, and stuff like that, so...
