\t\t\t\t\tThe Rocket Man\u2019s Right Hand: How David Furnish Transformed Husband Elton John’s Business\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tDuring her appearance<\/a> on the Wednesday (July 10) episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show<\/em>, the \u201cSave the Best for Last\u201d singer shared some details about working with the pop legend for the show, which began its off-West End run<\/a> in Plymouth, England, on July 6. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am honored because I grew up listening to Elton John on my little transistor radio on my windowsill with my two antennae, listening to \u2018Bennie and the Jets\u2019 and [\u2018Goodbye Yellow Brick Road\u2019],\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s my childhood! So, to be able to work with him and have him write new songs that I get the chance to sing for him is pretty epic.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the show, Williams plays the titular role of Miranda Priestly<\/a>, the icy, high-powered editor-in-chief at the fashion magazine Runway<\/em>. In discussing her performance in the show, the actress gave Clarkson and her audience a tease of one of the show\u2019s pivotal numbers. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe script is very much based on the movie, so you see all the aspects of that, but it\u2019s amplified by the music. So, for instance, in the second act they\u2019re doing their fashion show and everyone thinks [Miranda] is on the outs,\u201d she explained, before launching into an a capella rendition of the song. \u201c\u2018You think that I can\u2019t see you\/ Smugly sitting there with glee\/ Eager for the ending you\u2019ve been waiting years to see\/ Today, she\u2019s getting ousted\/ Yet her final hour\u2019s nigh\/ \u2018Miranda\u2019s reign has run its course\u2019\/ That\u2019s what you think? Oh my.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWilliams also shared that thanks to John\u2019s musical sensibilities, the songs immediately lend themselves to broader cultural appeal. \u201cThis music takes the transition from the words and brings it to musical theater \u2014 but it\u2019s also pop, too, because that\u2019s Elton\u2019s background,\u201d she said. \u201cSo, there\u2019s going to be remixes on the radio from The Devil Wears Prada,<\/em> because he know what works in both genres.\u201d <\/p>\n
