So, Im open to things like that.
This year there are a couple things that we are going do that do fit that mold.
But were talking about having that movie represented in one way or another on the show.
Electric dance music will get its due
We dont ever really do well with EDM.
It doesnt work on television, Ehrlich says.
But its become a huge factor in the world of music.
Were going do it in a way that people again have never seen.
The insurance is Justin Bieber.
A Kanye West performance?
Outlook hazy
Were talking.
Thats all I can say, Ehrlich admits.
Weve probably had as much to do with his success as anybody.
He broke through because he came on our stage and did Jesus Walks.
And then the next year he did the thing with Jamie Foxx.
I think hes really an interesting artist.
Thats just hard for me.
