Kristine, congratulations on “Stars”<br />
climbing to #1!<br />
Kristine: It’s pretty exciting stuff. It was<br />
a nail biter. I don’t generally put out a<br />
song in the fourth quarter. Everybody<br />
and their dog puts out records this<br />
time of year, so I took a leap of faith.<br />
I just thought this song was going to<br />
do it, and it happened. It’s my first #1<br />
record in seven years. My team and I<br />
are over the moon.<br />
I bet! So Carson, you’ve done<br />
everything in the world...<br />
Carson: Everyone or everything?<br />
Both.<br />
Carson: I like to do fun and interesting<br />
things. I’ve been so blessed to do a<br />
lot of television projects, from “Queer<br />
Eye” to “Drag Race.” Sometimes when<br />
stage opportunities like this come<br />
along, they are so out of your normal<br />
wheelhouse, you say, “That can be<br />
really fun.” It’s also a bit terrifying, but<br />
this sounded like something too fun<br />
not to do. I’ve always wanted to do<br />
a standup show, but I didn’t want to<br />
do it alone. So doing the show with<br />
Kristine, adding classics to comedy in a<br />
cabaret setting, seems like the perfect<br />
combination.<br />
Joe’s Pub is a cool, intimate venue.<br />
What are you looking forward to<br />
most about the show? What do you<br />
think the audience will most react to<br />
and love?<br />
Carson: Well, everyone reacts to<br />
Kristine’s music, because it’s just been<br />
part of our lives for so long, and she is<br />
such a talent.<br />
Kristine: Aww, you are such a<br />
sweetheart, Carson. I think it’s nice for<br />
people to hear songs that they’ve been<br />
dancing to at tea dances and big circuit<br />
parties. I think the thing that has drawn<br />
people to my music for years is that I<br />
always try to have a message in there.<br />
I try to make it a song that can be<br />
applied to people and situations. Fans<br />
can take the messages and call it their<br />
own. I’ve always thought that music<br />
was such good medicine for people.<br />
“Straight Up With a Twist” is going<br />
to be a really fun time for everyone.<br />
The audience can sing along, they<br />
can reminisce. I’m looking forward to<br />
asking people, “Hey, what were you<br />
doing when ‘Feel What You Want’<br />
came out?”.<br />
Carson: I was always doing something,<br />
but I can’t remember.
