Pharrell Williams: "It's Hillary time in 2016".

[JaneyVee]

Singer Pharrell Williams said on Monday that he plans to vote for Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton next year.

“I just feel like it is Hillary time,” the "Happy" performer said on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show." "It’s time for a woman to be in there.”

“Women think about things in a holistic way,” Williams said. "It’s not so individual."

“[It is] not that I don’t love our current president,” he added of President Obama. “If we had someone looking after our country as a whole, I just feel like it would be different.”

Williams argued that he is endorsing Clinton’s White House run because she has a "serious tone."

1. Well, I'm Happy!

[left-of-center2012]

2. Who?

... he is endorsing Clinton’s White House run because she has a "serious tone."
Hmm

[Cheese Sandwich]

3. Who would wear a shirt that says "I'm a Billionaire"? And wears it a lot.

[sufrommich]

6. That's the name of one of his clothing lines. nt

[Cheese Sandwich]

12. But why? What kind of person flaunts their wealth like that?

[sufrommich]

14. This kind of person:

50. I actually do like Pharrell though

That shirt is dumb but on TV he's great. I watch his show every week, never miss it.

[JaneyVee]

11. Yeah I heard Bernie is supposed to appear on it soon.

Might want to check your local listings.

[yeoman6987]

40. He is huge among millenials.

[yeoman6987]

46. Lol. Never would I presume such a thing

[redstateblues]

54. You need to get out more:o)

[Iliyah]

5. K & R

I am HAPPY - LOL

[Number23]

7. Obscure rapper that no one ever heard of endorses x candidate, it's cheers

One of the biggest forces in hip hop of the last 20 years who has produced everything and everybody, has his own fashion line, and then had one of the most prolific songs of the last decade last year with "Happy" endorses Hillary, and it's "who?"

This seems entirely appropriate for this thread. Video of Congressman John Lewis dancing to "Happy"

[sufrommich]

9. Yeah,I noticed that too.

[Number23]

45. Yeah I'm going "who??" to most of the "artists" being brought up to "counter" Pharrell's endorsement

[sufrommich]

47. Meh,I know who a lot of them are.I don't see the point of arguing

musical superiority when it comes to endorsements.Their ability to reach massive audiences is more important.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. I'll raise you a Bonnie Raitt.

Endorsed Bernie.

[JaneyVee]

10. I'll raise you a Christina Aguilera and Rob Reiner.

[stillwaiting]

15. You can HAVE Christina Aguilera. My God, she's such a horrible egotist and narcissist.

Oh yeah, and you have the billionaire Salma Hayek on your side too!

[Warren DeMontague]

25. You want to reason with someone who thinks they can "raise" a bonnie raitt with a C. Aguilerra?

Good luck.

[stillwaiting]

27. Touché. And I absolutely agree.

I rarely ever get involved in things of this nature.

Christina Aguilera gets under my skin almost as much as Kim Kardashian does though. I couldn't help myself. I'll try harder next time.

[JaneyVee]

28. She has one of the best voices in the world.

[stillwaiting]

29. That says nothing about the content of her character. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

24. WOW! Christina Aguilera? Has anyone found out who Britney is supporting, yet?

Whats funny is, Hillary's camp probably thinks that's the route to appealing to "young voters"-- blissfully unaware that to the folks hitting voting age now, Christina Aguilera is "like, somebody's mom"

[JaneyVee]

32. Enjoy!:

[Warren DeMontague]

37. ...AND mary kate and ashley!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/04/28/things-only-90s-kids-will-get-mary-kate-and-ashley-went-to-a-clinton-fundraiser/

Smells like inevitability, to me!

[Motown_Johnny]

13. More visceral support. Never any rational reason to support her.

I just feel like it is Hillary time


Typical of a Hillary supporter.

[JaneyVee]

17. I'm sure insulting Hillary supporters will have them

Rushing to the polls to vote for Bernie if he wins the primary.

[artislife]

16. If you follow The Voice, you would know he never picks the winner.

[JaneyVee]

18. I guess you don't follow the Voice. He won last season.

In 2015.

[leftofcool]

20. He won last season.

Try again.

[Blue_In_AK]

23. Two words.

Sawyer Fredericks, 2015.

I don't agree with his endorsement, but it's his to give.

[quickesst]

26. haha...

He won last year.
"Teenage champion! Sawyer Fredericks, 16, wins The Voice in star-studded finale as proud coach Pharrell Williams cheers away"

[artislife]

39. You are right lol

But Hillary is no Sawyer! !

[quickesst]

44. I have to admit...

...Hillary may not have a great singing voice, but then, I would be remiss in making that assertion without proper verification. I have never heard her sing.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. I guess he's been forgiven for doing that song with the d-bag guy, then?

You know, the one whose nsfw video had some people losing their freaking minds.

[Warren DeMontague]

22. Jello Biafra. Steve Earle. Susan Sarandon. Jeff Tweedy. Margaret Cho. David Crosby.

And can Pharrell play a vacuum cleaner like this guy? I think not.

[madwivoter]

30. Great pic!

I'm a huge Phish fan and always enjoyed it when Jon would play a little tune on the ol' vaccuum!

[Warren DeMontague]

35. I go back and forth with em, myself.

Old school deadhead, here.

I saw phish play to about 300 people in a bar in 1990 or so- they positively blew the roof off of the place. Plus trey did a great job at Soldier field.

[JaneyVee]

31. Pharrell can play like 20 instruments.

And Beyonce endorsed Hillary as well.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. I didnt ask that, i asked about the vacuum cleaner.

If you want to fill up your ipod with pharrell and beyonce, i cant help you.

[JaneyVee]

34. Ok this is getting silly.

[Warren DeMontague]

36. Sure, most serious thread about who an entertainer endorses. Serious, now.

Do carry on.

[mhatrw]

38. That's because he's happy.

The vast majority of us are not.

[Buns_of_Fire]

42. I want to know who Miley Cyrus is going to be twerking for! nt

[JaneyVee]

43. LOL good one.

[leftofcool]

48. LMAO

[retrowire]

49. says the guy who performed "happy"

live at a Walmart investors board meeting. lmao

www.spin.com/2014/06/pharrell-happy-wal-mart-stockholders-performance-stream/

how lame and establishmentarian can you get?

meh, he's an artist and a businessman, what would anyone expect? lol

[ladjf]

51. If so, that's too bad for America. nt

[JaneyVee]

52. Nice comeback!

[ladjf]

53. I should have included the obligatory "IMO".

But, I'm depressed to see a dud like Mrs. Clinton ascend to the Presidency. We've got thousands of people in America more qualified.
The same could have been said for George Bush or any of the Republican candidates.
Obviously, our election system isn't working well.
