I really do like Bruno Mars. I think he's very good. And I love Maroon 5.

I really love hip hop. My cousin Nas came out with an album 'Life Is Good,' and I love that album, but I also love Maroon 5.

There are so many great singers out there.

People see you on TV every day, they start knowing your name. You know, I was always just the guy from Maroon 5 until I became myself.

I think there are rock stars within every subgenre, and for people who are obsessed with musical theater Sutton Foster and Audra MacDonald are like Beyonce to them. I'm sure the a cappella world has their own version of that, and that exists in every geeky subculture.

Country music is worldwide - it's not just Nashville and Texas.

Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross and the Jackson 5, that's what I grew up on.

Some of my favorite artists are Jason Mraz, Eric Hutchinson, Ben Folds, Bruno Mars, Mumford and Sons, Maroon 5 - their vibe is slightly different from all the pop stuff on 'Glee,' although some do fall into that genre.

I have a lot of different influences. Everything from Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani, The Clash, Kanye West - just a lot of different artists.

There are so many great songs yet to sing.
