- Summary: FLORENCE WELCH ON RED CARPET (SOUNDBITE) (English) FLORENCE WELCH, SAYING "Kind of amazing because I recognize it. You know from like photos, I've never been, but like from photos of people on the red carpet. I recognize the chandeliers, the background. And I'm looking around and I go, 'Oh! I'm here. Physically here.' It's amazing." EVA LONGORIA ON RED CARPET SEAL AND HEIDI KLUM ON RED CARPET JEWEL ON RED CARPET (SOUNDBITE) (English) JAY SEAN, SAYING "That's what I'm saying. I'm a big believer in that. How can there not be if you're sitting next to so many talented people and they're all in one room. There's vibes going on there, you know what I'm saying? And I believe in that. Sometimes when you go into a studio with someone and the producer just gives you an off vibe, the song's not going to come out good. But the you meet .. you know what I'm talking about. People have auras about them." MYA TALKING TO REPORTER (SOUNDBITE) (English) MYA, SAYING "It's a great place to be. Great week to be a part of. Lots of festivities, philanthropic causes, events, functions, dinners, parties, performances. The list goes on and on before and after the Grammys but I'm just looking forward to the performances tonight."
