What was your reaction to seeing her be so moved by your performance? It was so much fun.įor your final performance, you sang “Invisible” by Hunter Hayes. Nicole Scherzinger was tearing up over the performance. It was like this gigantic King Kong gorilla. There’s so much padding and muscles on it. I recently just shot something at my house with it, and my dancers were there and they’re like, “It’s so much bigger in real life than it looks.” It makes me look like I’m seven feet tall. I was rehearsing it every single time because I wanted to see what I was capable of and push the boundaries of what the costume designers even thought I could do when I said to them, “I think I want to do a split in the circus number.” They were like, “What?” I was like, “I really think I can do it.” It was just fun to keep evolving, keep pushing the boundaries, and asking for permission to go off the walls and do ridiculous things in that a huge costume because it’s massive. Sometimes they’d be like, you don’t have to rehearse in the costume. I just wanted to be able to dance, and I just kept challenging myself and playing in the costume. So many people are great at that, but I don’t think that’s what makes me as an artist special. Because the audience is a huge part of the voting factor, and I wanted them to feel something in the room and bring something different to it than just standing and thinking about it. So dancing was difficult, but once I figured out how to move in my hooves and how to trust that I wish that I could follow my light and that I wouldn’t fall off the stage, I just started challenging myself every single week because I felt like if this were a game of chess my strategy would be to infuse my singing ability with my performance ability and my dance background. In the first couple of episodes, I was a little bit nervous because you can’t really see out of the costume and the feet add about six inches to my actual foot. But I just am one of those people that if I’m going to do something, I’m all in 100 million percent. The hooves were a little bit difficult to do the dance thing and hold the microphone with the hoove. Todrick Hall: I’m so grateful that I got a costume with two legs and two arms, first of all. What was it like performing in that costume? Performing in a costume of this magnitude is a little bit different than probably what you’re used to. You were definitely one of the most memorable performers I think we’ve ever had on the show. With me getting ready to go on my next world tour and releasing new music next year, I just thought it was a great opportunity to introduce myself to a bunch of people who might not have ever heard of me. Like, definitely take advantage of the opportunities. But because the pandemic was so difficult for us as performers, I just said, you know what, when things open up again, when you get opportunities don’t take them for granted like you did pre-COVID. For me to lose sleep and be stressing out for weeks and weeks and weeks on end about how my voice is going to sound because I’ve always had a naturally raspy voice. I’m also very, very shy about singing and so nervous. So when they called and asked, I decided to jump on board. One of my dreams was to be a costume character at Disney World or Six Flags, and I never got to live out that dream. I also have always been fascinated since I was a child… before I ever took dance class I learned how to dance from watching the Disney Christmas parade. Todrick Hall: I have seen so many of my friends do the show from Tori Kelly to Wayne Brady to Kandi Burruss to Jojo Siwa, so many of my friends have done it and talked about what a great experience it was.
