Sir Elton John wants to introduce a new sound in his music-one you would not expect from the legendary man. The flamboyant singer says he would like to record somewhat of a hip-hop album. He admits he wants to overhaul his sound and introduce more "beat" to his music after being inspired by rap music-oddly enough.

"I want to bring my songs and melodies to hip-hop beats, like 'No Diggity' by Blackstreet," he said.

Ellen Degeneres kicked off the fourth season of her nationwide popular talk show on Monday with a pop singer who has fans drooling for a taste of the "SexyBack" star. 10,000 fans lined up to see Ellen interview Justin Timberlake and ask him juicy questions about his love life.

Before his interview, Rapper Timbaland joined Justin on stage as he performed his hit single "SexyBack" from his much anticipated new album, "Future Sex/Love Sounds."
