13.791 - 16.338 Matt Gourley

Hi, Lucy. Welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan.

0

17.2 - 18.664 Lucy Yegazarian

Hello. Lucy.

0

18.83 - 20.412 Conan O'Brien

Hi, Lucy. How are you?

0

20.432 - 22.394 Lucy Yegazarian

Hi, Sona. Hi, Conan.

22.674 - 27.179 Conan O'Brien

I'm great. How are you? I'm guessing you already know Sona. Is that right?

27.359 - 38.692 Lucy Yegazarian

I know her. Yeah, you know, it's a small world when you're an Armenian. But, you know, but I wanted to make sure that I met you not through Sona, you know, to avoid any kind of nepotism.

39.052 - 53.732 Sona Movsesian

Yeah, I just found out today. But also, it's funny. Nobody asked her if she knows me because they didn't want to seem like racist. Or, you know, act like, oh, you're Armenian, so you must know Sona. But we actually haven't met before.

53.752 - 58.079 Lucy Yegazarian

That's so funny. And I didn't tell them that I knew you. So this is good. This is good.

Chapter 2: How did Lucy Yegazarian start her journey as a jazz singer?

338.802 - 351.793 Conan O'Brien

And that makes me very happy. I'm very happy you're in our country. You're clearly very cool and extremely talented. And I wish I could do what you do. I don't know...

0

351.773 - 358.043 Unknown

Yeah, but you don't know if I'm any good at it. What's that? You don't know if I'm any good at it. Sona's raving about you.

0

358.163 - 379.134 Conan O'Brien

She says you're terrific. And you know what? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, because you seem like a humble person. You don't seem like a self-promoter. I imagine you're very good at this. I really do. So I'm going to have Sona get me some of your music and I'll listen to it. But before I do that, I'd like a lesson from you. How would I sing?

0

379.174 - 397.155 Conan O'Brien

I just want to, let's say I want to, you know, these careers, they come and go. I might need to get into jazz singing late in my life. And this would be the time when you're the perfect person to, hey, I taught you to speak English. You teach me jazz singing.

0

397.175 - 402.822 Lucy Yegazarian

Jazz singing. Okay, so I guess... The most common, you know, thing people associate with jazz singing is scat singing, right?

403.122 - 403.803 Unknown

Scat, uh-huh.

403.823 - 407.047 Lucy Yegazarian

Which most people are really bad at it, especially singers themselves.

407.387 - 407.607 Unknown

Right.

407.627 - 420.362 Lucy Yegazarian

But I think the easiest approach to it is to think like if you were drunk at a bar. Yep. And there's this song you remembered and you want to remind the guy next to you at the bar, like, you know this song, it goes, and how would you sing the melody?

Chapter 3: What unique experiences shaped Lucy's music career?

500.057 - 501.659 Lucy Yegazarian

No, like a mellow kind of drunk.

0

501.679 - 502.46 Conan O'Brien

Oh, I see. Okay.

0

502.48 - 516.696 Lucy Yegazarian

Not like a psychotic Irishman drunk. Okay, that's too much. Everything I do is wrong. No, no, that was good. Now go right in between the first one and that one.

516.929 - 533.875 Conan O'Brien

Hey!

0

535.272 - 536.754 Lucy Yegazarian

It had moments.

536.774 - 539.458 Conan O'Brien

Why are you crying? You're crying.

540.299 - 541.28 Sona Movsesian

It had moments.

541.4 - 543.824 Conan O'Brien

And you're hurting yourself.

543.904 - 546.107 Matt Gourley

It was built with various moments.

Chapter 4: How does Lucy define scat singing?

1073.782 - 1078.414 Conan O'Brien

My wife will not speak to me on Valentine's Day. She says, don't even think about it.

0

1079.377 - 1080.901 Sona Movsesian

She's busy with her boyfriend.

1082.545 - 1110.426 Conan O'Brien

Man, that guy's a looker. Thank you, that guy. Thank you. Okay, you just ruined it. Now it's not believable. Well, Lucy, thank you so much for reaching out to us. I do get, I get great energy talking to people like you, very positive, very talented. And you've, you've given me a lift and you're really funny. So thank you very much.

1110.625 - 1114.571 Lucy Yegazarian

Thank you. Thank you for teaching me English, Conan, even though you didn't mean to.

1114.931 - 1116.914 Conan O'Brien

And Sona, don't you want to thank me, too?

1117.295 - 1118.477 Lucy Yegazarian

No, I'm OK.

1118.657 - 1122.122 Sona Movsesian

I'm good. Thank you. No, I mean, no, thank you.

1122.282 - 1122.903 Conan O'Brien

I'm good.
