A Great Big World interview
Seacrest interviews A Great Big World during On Air With Ryan Seacrest. During the interview Seacrest questions them about their single Say Something. The band also covers R. Kelly’s Ignition. Ian:
That is the most vulnerable song we’ve ever written. And we felt so alone when we wrote it and it’s so crazy that that is the song that is doing this. We never thought that would be the single.
Chad:
There is actually another sort of Say Something on the album called I Don’t Want to Love Anybody Else. That’s like my Say Something. There’s no happy ending.
Iggy Azalea interview
Seacrest interviews Azalea during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about being on Jennifer Lopez’s album.
I love her. I definitely used to sit in my bedroom as a young girl and lip-sync Jennifer Lopez songs, so it’s very cool to have a song with her on her album. She actually only asked me about two weeks ago, so I didn’t have to keep the secret for too long. When I opened on tour for Beyonce, I had to keep that under wraps for months, which really killed me. So this is a breeze.
Romeo Santos interview
Seacrest interviews Santos during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his possible collaboration with Drake and Nicki Minaj.
To be honest with you, every time I’m gonna produce a new record, I’m thinking about artists and the caliber of Drake, Nicki, I have that fear, like ‘Ok, will they be able to adapt to what Bachata is?’ And to be honest, it’s always been their initiative, they always want to sing Spanish, and I find it incredible. The funny thing is they do it so simple, you would think they’ve been influenced or listen to Bachata for a while.
Katy Perry interview
Seacrest interviews Perry during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her style for the Prismatic tour.
I like movies, like Clueless, The Craft, Empire Records. All those movies kinds of inspired my style currently. But you know, it’s just kind of whatever I feel like when I wake up.
Justin Timberlake interview
Seacrest interviews Timberlake during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about re-working the single Love Never Felt So Good for the Michael Jackson Xscape project.
The demo is just Michael and a piano, so funny enough, when we got the track to work on, when you peeled everything away, you couldn’t separate Michael’s vocals from the piano. It was all on one track. We had numerous people dig through archives and this is the only existing demo we could find It makes you feel that early ’80s Off the Wall/Thriller right around that time when I’m sure he was recording a bunch of music.
Sam Smith interview
Seacrest interviews Smith during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his single Stay With Me.
There’s a rawness to that song, which I hope a lot people can connect with. I’m an emotional guy and I think unlike a lot of men in the industry and in music, I’m willing to show that emotional side. I don’t have an bravado to put in front, and I’m just showing my raw self.
Jordan Knight interview
Seacrest interviews Knight during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about album, Nick & Knight with Nick Carter.

Jennifer Lopez interview
Seacrest interviews Lopez during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her single First Love.
For me, it’s like that feeling when you find somebody that you are really are into, and you’re like, ‘Why didn’t I meet you years ago? I wouldn’t have had to go through all this crap. But in all seriousness, “It’s just one of those love songs, like ‘I love you, I’m happy that I found you’ type of thing.
Rixton interview

He’s [Nathan Sykes] a very good friend of mine. And he just put me in touch with Scooter and out of the blue, Scooter just flew to London and we just spent six hours with him in the studio. And from there, it just kinda of escalated that was like a year ago.
Nicki Minaj interview
Seacrest interviews Minaj during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about twerk video on Instagram.
We’ve got to stop using that word. That is not a twerking video. That is a whining video. I’m from Trinidad, we whine. We don’t twerk in Trinidad you’re whining your hips.
Ariana Grande interview
Seacrest interviews Grande during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her single Problem.
I’m so excited about it. As for the song’s “bipolar” message of a love-hate relationship, Ariana adds, “I feel like once you get to that point, it’s either you break up or you just work it out and you stay for a while.
Miley Cyrus interview
Seacrest interviews Cyrus during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her recent hospitalization.
I’m doing good, much better, happy to be on the phone with you guys. So basically I had gotten sick while I was on the road. After taking some doctor-prescribed medication for the flu, On the sixth day, I just woke up it was so scary I had basically been poisoning myself with something I didn’t know I was really scary allergic to.
Cameron Diaz interview
Seacrest interviews Diaz during On Air Wit Ryan Seacrest and questions her about working with Taylor Kinney on the film The Other Woman.
He’s so great. He is, first off, easy on the eyes. And then he’s just about the kindest, sweetest guy ever. I met his mother the other night and I told her how impressed we were by her son and how great of a job she did. He was always the one who would get up for all the girls [and ask] ‘Can I get you anything?’ and he always came back with waters for everybody. He’s such a gentleman.
Chelsea Kane interview
Seacrest interviews Kane during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about who she wants to win Dancing With The Stars.

R5 interview
Seacrest interviews R5 during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions them about their single I Can’t Forget About You.
It’s basically self-explanatory. It’s that night that you can’t remember all the details, but you remember the girl.
Ian Somerhalder interview
Seacrest interviews Somerhalder during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about possibly staring in the film 50 Shades Of Gray.
Potentially. I absolutely would be up for that. I have the book and I just started reading it. That would be a pretty incredible thing, and hopefully that could pan out, I think. Yes, beyond the shadow of a doubt I think that would be a phenomenal opportunity.
Calvin Harris interview
Seacrest interviews Harris during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about how he feels writing songs for other artist.
I had two albums out before this last one I used to sing every single song and it wasn’t until maybe three, four years ago where I wanted to write songs for other people, like I wrote the Rihanna We Found Love song. And since then, I realized maybe I can use other people’s voices who are much better singers than me. And if I have a song that I think suits my voice or I don’t see anyone else singing it, I’ll just do it myself. I think the majority of people still don’t know it’s me who sings, which is completely fine. I’m good just being the producer guy.
Zedd interview
Seacrest interviews Zedd during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about performing at the Wango Tango festival.
I’m psyched to be a part of it. And I’m psyched to experience it myself. It [Coachella] was great. It was amazing. I played Coachella two years ago and I played really early on that strong and I really loved the vibe, but you know it was really bright outside and it was super hot.
Katie Couric interview
Seacrest interviews Couric during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her book The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons from Extraordinary Lives.
About 116 people contributed to this book. This should be heartening for a lot of people, because I think one of the most prevalent things is how many of these people have failed. So much of success is about being able to pick yourself up and be resilient.
Joel McHale interview
Seacrest interviews McHale during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about playing Ryan Seacrest on Community.
I did get to play you two weeks ago on Community. I did not write that, but believe me I wish that I had. I turned into a Seacrest Hulk. I became the best looking person in the world in my mind, and there was a reaction to drugs and spray tan. I was at a bar mitzvah impersonating you with a bunch of celebrity impersonators, and I was doing you and then it was like a fake Oscars at a bar mitz and I did not win “Most Handsome” and so I went crazy and started beating up 13 year-old-boys. It’s ripped from the headlines.
