The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

And it was kind of just my...

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

Yeah, she's my muse, so.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

Yes, yes.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

I don't know if I fully digested it.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

I, it's like some girls, they wait and they plan and they've got Pinterest boards for their wedding.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

And that is just like the peak of their existence.

But this, when Tom, my manager told me about it, I was like, Tom, well, you're being way too nonchalant about this.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

This is like the peak of this is, this is the best thing I'm ever going to be asked to do because Ella Fitzgerald's everything to me.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

So, um, I'm just so excited.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

And she like, well,

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

To give some background of my ear training, and it's Ella Fitzgerald largely, but before that, it was Gershwin and Debussy and Chopin and all of these classical, not that I played, but I have four older brothers.

Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

And...

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

The one that's just older than me, he was probably the one that I was listening to practice the most.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

And he would get up at 5 a.m.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

and practice every single... He was just very, very dedicated.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

And he would practice these passages for these very long and difficult, complicated songs over and over and over again.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast   

And it would annoy him so bad, but I knew what came next.

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast

The Glenn Beck Program
Ep 278 | The Next Adele, Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Eilish?! | Emma Nissen | The Glenn Beck Podcast
