“even though to this day he swears that Ken sang the song”
-
And while the other nominated song from the movie won the Oscar, the performance of this song by Ryan, Mark, Wolf, Slash, the cameraman & co won the night/show.
-
A masterful example of having your own vision but putting aside ego and focusing on supporting the bigger picture
-
“blonde fragility” pops into my mind at random times, with or without the rest of the line or even the song. Just brilliant!
-
The instrumental track for the "Kenergy" section goes so hard
-
Mark Ronson is the greatest earworm composer of his generation. It's fascinating to watch this kind of "How it took shape" process, especially for those of us with NO musical ability at all.
-
Mark Ronson's voice is straight out of the 80's...when I looked him up I didn't even realize he was British-born. Thank you Rolling Stone for committing to such an incredible interview.
-
It is symptomatic that Ken would lose to Billie Eilish. Always number two, no matter what I do.
-
Mark wrote “Shallow” with Lady Gaga it won a Oscar for a star is born! What turned into a joke went center stage at the Oscars with “I’m just Ken”. I bet that production wins an EMMY 💖💖💖
-
This sure makes you appreciate this song. I never understood how incredible Mark Ronson is.
-
I love how he breaks the song down bit by bit and you can really hear the beauty of this song, the melody, each note.
-
What a PRODUCER! so gifted, the perfect temperament and awareness of his role.
-
Such a talented & modest man, no ‘main character’ syndrome, just a lovely human.
-
why did the ending, with his descripion of RG's full body takeover to sing the song, make me emotional? The beauty and power of art!
-
He’s very modest
-
More track breakdown content like this please Rolling Stone. Great video!
-
Now I get why Wolf was at the Oscar’s performance! What an epic, this behind the scenes is incredible
-
This kind of break down gives you a whole other level of appreciation for the song and all of the creative aspects of this and ANY movie really!
-
I just do not understand how a dude this amazing at what he does is like this. There's this almost wildly unaware humility to him, it's crazy.
-
I'm actually so impressed with this break-down and song overall. In particular Ryan's vocal is outstanding. Thank you Mark, Wolfgang,, Slash and Mark's team for making this happen!
