I am lucky to have the greatest band and when you add a symphony orchestra to the mix it brings all of my songs to a whole new level. I wouldn't say I really change what I do but, having those talented musicians behind me, along with my band, really makes the songs so much bigger and more fun to sing.

A few years ago I appeared on GLEE and, Jane Lynch and I did a remake of the song that was very popular - someone told me it was in the Top 100 when it was released. First, walking on the set of GLEE the day we filmed it was surreal as they had recreated the entire original set from the music video. It was bizarre - but fun.

As for the industry, it has certainly changed. I think with all of these television shows and YouTube and the internet, you have so much less time to develop as an artist and perfect your craft. So many things today are instant and, that's not always a good thing.

John Farrar, my dear friend and songwriter/producer of most of my hits (he wrote You're The One That I Want and Hopelessly Devoted to You, among others), wrote the song [I Think You Might Like It] and it captures so much fun and joy! Having that reunion as well, with John and John - made the project even more special!
