Sheryl Crow on Jacko: "He's Sad"
Sure, it's February, but Sheryl Crow still can "Soak Up The Sun" all she likes. At the 45th annual Grammy Awards — airing Sunday at 8 pm/ET on CBS — the songbird's nominated in no less than five categories for her latest platinum CD, C'mon, C'mon. (She's previously won eight times.) But long before her Grammy glory, the ex-music teacher got her first big break as a backup singer for the King of Pop!
"About 7 months after I moved out [to Los Angeles]," Crow recalls, "I got the Michael Jackson tour, so I put my stuff in storage and went on the road for 18 months."
Her fave Jackson song to sing? "I loved the old stuff," she says. "I thought, 'I'm really lucky that we get to do a lot of that old Jackson Five stuff.' And my favorite song to watch him do is 'Human Nature.' You know, no matter what you say about him, as a performer, he was definitely just mesmerizing. And every night, it was exciting to see him do the thing that he created that no one had ever seen before — the Moon Walk — and all those moves that kind of went along with it."
What does Crow — once rumored in the tabloids to be Jacko's lover — think of his current scandalous goings on? "He's, you know, kind of a sad character," she sighs, "but I think I got to see him on that tour before everything went spinning way out of control." — Daniel R. Coleridge with Shawna Malcom.
