Pharrell Williams Tells Ellen "It's Hillary Time"
/Ellen Degeneres has already endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in 2016. And Ellen used her talk show yesterday to give Pharrell Williams a podium for announcing -- not only his own support for a Hillary Clinton candidacy -- but his reflections on women leading differently.
The singer and judge for 'The Voice' said: "It;s time for a woman to be in there. Women think about things in a holistic way; it's not so individual."
"I'm saying I'm happy being a man, but I love women. The thing is, if we had somebody looking after our country that thought about things as a whole, I just feel like it just would be different.”
In a break with television's political pundits, Williams found Clinton's "serious tone" to be a key to her success. Acknowledging that Americans tend to be "so easily sensationalized", the children's book author who talks his new Penguin book 'Happy' explained: "Not that I don't love our current president, I just feel that it's Hillary time. People are like ‘OK, we need a president that we can play Scrabble and Celebrity with,’ but that’s not who’s gonna solve your problems. You need someone that’s gonna take it serious.”
Pharrell Williams also played his Oscar-winning song 'Freedom' on 'Ellen'.
