5. SOUNDBITE (English) Jimmy Jam, producer/past chair of the Recording Academy – on Lenny Kravitz being honored after stating he didn’t feel supported by Black awards shows:
“I'm optimistic about it only because a night like tonight where he will be honored in this room of greats, you know, and appreciate it. And I hope he feels the appreciation, and I hope he feels the love from the room, because I know he's going to get it.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Halle Bailey, recording artist/actor – on Mariah Carey being honored:
“Mariah’s a legend. She is part of the reason why I sing today. I'm so excited just to see her get her flowers. She means so much to a lot of us – all of us, yeah.”
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Tori Kelly, recording artist – on honoring Mariah Carey with a song at the Black Music Collective:
“Genre-wise, I always appreciated how she leaned in to different styles and I think I connect with her because I've never really felt like I fit into one genre, and I think she really showed, like, you don't have to just sing one thing. Like she was pop, she was R&B, she even did gospel."
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Jordin Sparks, recording artist – on memorable Mariah Carey songs:
“‘My All,’ just because it is so emotional and technically, it's very challenging and difficult. So, I can't do it on the spot but if I have practice, I'd be able to do it. And ‘Always Be My Baby’ is just a classic. My mom, my dad – I just have vivid memories of rolling the windows down and singing that song at the top of my lungs. So, that one's a favorite. And I sing it to my little one now.”
