AARRON: Hello! Welcome to Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta, Georgia!

Next, Howard (left) and Aarron (right) are seated next to each other facing the camera.

HOWARD: You had rehearsals on Friday, right?

AARRON: Yes, that's right.

HOWARD: Can you share what that experience was like, and with whom?

AARRON: I rehearsed with Gladys Knight and Chloe X Halle. They were amazing! The challenge is with their prolonged notes.

HOWARD: What do you mean "prolonged"?

AARRON: There are parts where they sing longer notes and they repeat the lyrics. But I rehearsed enough to know both of their styles.

HOWARD: So, when you say the song prolongs and the lyrics repeat -- do you mean the entire song changes?

AARRON: Only parts of the song -- on their minor notes. Some of their notes are faster than others. They also repeat a lyric one or two times, so that's new to me. It's all good though.
