"I went there with my own ideas about who she was from watching her videos and listening to her music.I thought she was gonna be kind of a bada**, a kind of hard edged, rocker, pop woman. Nothing could have been farther from the truth," the talk show host said. "She was thoughtful. She was very emotional. She was vulnerable."
