If you believe the article it sounds like this is a done deal. I have never heard of Pharrell Williams but that doesn't mean much as I often haven't heard of urban type artists. He looks pretty young to me. I would guess under 30. Article says he is tight with both Randy and Mariah.
Well, Lance, I had no knowledge of him either, BUT I did check him out some . . .
He's 39 and will turn 40 during the next season of AI. He is "professionally known as Pharrell, is an American rapper, singer, record producer, composer, and fashion designer." (from Wikipedia). You can read more about him here (I read enough in the first line):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharrell_Williams
And if you are curious about his style of singing (falsetto on this one), here's a link to one of his individual songs featuring Jay-Z (he also records with Snoop Dogg, er Snoop Lion, among others) that has had over 6 million views:
Frontin'

Oh, and if you like it so much that you want to play it again and sing/rap along, here are the lyrics:
"Frontin'"
(feat. Jay-Z)
[Verse: Pharrell Williams]
Don't wanna sound full of myself or rude
But you ain't looking at no other dudes cause you love me
(I'm sorry but.. so sexy)
So you think about a chance
You find yourself trying to do my dance
Maybe cause you love me (Uh, you do it well)
So then we tried - singing it slow now
Because you weren't used to how fast we touched (fast we touched)
Then we locked eyes - and I knew I was in there
And I was gonna tear your *** up (tear your *** up)
[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
I know that I'm carrying on, nevermind if I'm showing off
I was just fronting (you know I want your babe)
I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
But you know I want your (you should stop fronting babe)
[Verse: Pharrell Williams]
Trying to be the best girlfriend you could be
But still you sneak and look at me, and girl I love it
Then you give your other girl a show
Tell her you gonna call her *** how it was
And she's gonna love it (whoa-oh whoa, yeah yeah)
So then we tried - singing it slow now
Because you weren't used to how fast we touched (fast we touched)
Then we locked eyes - and I knew I was in there
And I was gonna tear your *** up (tear your *** up)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[J:] We got another one Pha-real [Pharrell]
[P:] Dance, oh oh
[J:] I call you Pha-real cause you're the truth, ha ha, Young!
[P:] Whoa-oh, oh oh
[J:] Uh, yeah
[P:] Dance, oh oh
[J:] Yeah, lemme talk to em
[P:] Whoa-oh, oh oh
[J:] I'm a keep it real
[Verse: Jay-Z]
Everytime your name was brought up
I would act all nonchalant in front of an audience
Like if you was just another shorty I put the naughty on
But uh, truth be told you do me for a loop, this Hov
I'm too old to be fronting when I'm feeling Denzel
And you acting like you ain't appealing but you are
Stunting like you ain't my only girl but you are (I was just fronting)
I'm ready to stop when you are
[Chorus]
[Outro: Pharrell Williams]
Dance, oh oh
Whoa-oh, oh oh
Dance, oh oh
Whoa-oh, oh oh
I'm a redhead. Deal with it! |
