(chimes tinkling)
00:02
- All right, thank you, Jimmy.
00:06
Our next speaker is CEO of the Azoff Company
00:09
and a producer and manager of some of the biggest artists
00:13
we all know and love, and he was recently selected
00:15
for his own Walk of Fame star.
00:18
He's gonna get it next year in 2024.
00:20
Welcome Irving Azoff.
00:21
(audience cheering)
00:29
- I love you! - I love you too.
00:32
When Gwen Stefani walks in a room,
00:34
you know you're in the presence of greatness.
00:36
(audience cheering)
00:37
No one works harder or deserves more
00:40
to be the worldwide icon and role model
00:42
she has become than Gwen.
00:44
She burst onto the music scene as the lead singer
00:47
of the Orange County ska band No Doubt
00:49
and took them to the top of the charts
00:51
and worldwide fame with her singing and writing talent,
00:54
her incredible stage presence, and that it factor
00:57
that defines taste and trend-setting,
01:00
and that was just the beginning.
01:02
Gwen has more than earned her star
01:04
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
01:06
for the indelible mark she's left on the world
01:08
as a pop diva, a fashion icon, a musical mentor
01:12
through her great work at The Voice,
01:14
a successful entrepreneur,
01:16
and a role model for women worldwide.
01:19
For all of these reasons,
01:20
I've always been proud to call Gwen a client,
01:23
but my happiness today is far more personal
01:25
'cause Gwen has never been just a girl
01:28
and she's never been just a client either.
01:30
For years, even before she was a client,
01:32
she's been a trusted member of the Azoff family
01:35
and the nicest one of us by a healthy margin.
01:38
(audience laughing)
01:40
I knew that The Voice was gonna be a great move for Gwen,
01:43
but even I am not farsighted enough to have known
01:47
how much it was going to ultimately change her life.
01:50
Gwen once wrote, "I'm just an Orange County girl
01:53
"living in an extraordinary world."
01:55
But even then, I bet she couldn't have imagined
01:57
that extraordinary world would eventually include
02:00
a cowboy husband and life on a ranch
02:03
and of all places, Tishomingo, Oklahoma.
02:06
(audience cheering)
02:08
Who knew that flannel and camo
02:10
could be so fashionable and compatible?
02:14
As unlikely as their pairing may have seemed at one point,
02:17
it's clear that Gwen is never happier
02:19
when she's on the ranch with her boys,
02:21
husband Blake Shelton, and what Gwen would say
02:23
is her greatest accomplishment, her three sons,
02:26
Kingston, a budding musician on his own right,
02:30
Zuma, and Apollo.
02:31
(audience cheering)
02:34
But today, we are a long way from Tishomingo
02:37
so that Gwen can join Blake on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
02:41
Amazing they put him up here, but anyway,
02:44
there are a number of famous couples here,
02:45
Bogie and Bacall, Lucy and Desi, Liz and Richard,
02:49
and now we have Gwen and Blake.
02:51
(audience cheering)
02:54
It's my extreme honor and pleasure today
02:56
to represent the entire Azoff company and family
02:59
to welcome our Gwen to her very well-deserved place
03:02
among the stars of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
03:04
The street's already looking a thousand times better
03:07
with her in the neighborhood.
03:08
(audience cheering)
03:19
Okay.
