anyone would really want to distance themselves from lizzo. if it can hurt -- i mean, beyoncé is on tour. if it can hurt her image to include lizzo's name in a lyric -- and these are pretty serious allegations. obviously, the weight shaming at the body shaming is not great. but in addition to that, the sexual harassment and misconduct allegations are pretty serious. so, i could see why someone famous would not want to be aligned with that. >> how about other dancers who are currently or formerly working with her? other employees? anyone else come out for or against lizzo or these plaintiffs here? >> so, after the allegations from her three former dancers, a filmmaker and director who worked with lizzo a couple years ago, i think back in 2019, came out and said that she also quit working on the documentary

song writer josh groban. >> josh, thanks for joining us, especially under these circumstances. we just played some of that due wet with tony performing this is all i ask. what can you tell us what it was like recording with him? >> singing with tony bennett was a master class, to say the least. he came from an era where everything was in the room, that listening was the most important thing, that everything was about the interpretation. everything was about telling the story in the most honest and organic way possible. so that clip was not a set up. that was our session. all the musicians were in there with us. you will notice also we didn't have any headphones on. he likes to hear everything in the room. we had a few little speakers in there, but otherwise he wanted to hear it as we were doing it. and couldn't think of a more fitting lyric than that one you just played for the way that he
country singer jason aldean is facing criticism over the music video for his latest single "try that in a small town." country music television has pulled the video from rotation because of the controversy. the song was released in may, to criticism that the lyrics evoke racism and vigilanteism that increased when the video was released a little more than a week ago. some scenes were shot at a courthouse where a black man named henry was lynched in 1927. now in a statement posted on twitter, aldean said in part, i have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song. there is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it. aldean goes on to say, there isn't a single video clip that isn't real news footage but cnn
