Karmin's Nick Noonan Talks 'Saturday Night Live' Performance, Meeting Steven Spielberg

Just last year, Karmin's Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan's only claim to fame was an awesome Chris Brown YouTube cover. Now, they've released an original album, performed on "Saturday Night Live," and met Steven Spielberg.

"At the very end of night, we went to say 'thank you' to to Lorne Michaels," Noonan told MTV. "We just wanted to shake his hand really quick, get out of his hair, and somebody from his table was trying to shake our hand. It was Spielberg. And he was like, 'Wow, you guys were incredible. That was fantastic. My favorite song was the second song.' It was pretty ridiculous."

As for the pop duo's album "Broken Hearted," which hit stores on February 7, Heidemann takes pride in how catchy it is. "It has those pop melodies, and tons of rap in the verses and the bridge... lots of catchy things," she said last month. "Things you won't be able to get of your head."

I am not going to give a kneejerk reaction to Noonan's "ridiculous" comment. i still don't know what he was referring to. But it certainly sounded like an insult directed at Spielberg. I do not idolize anyone, however...why the insult? It makes Nick Noonan look really small and petty.

I didn't take it as an insult. I think he meant to say surreal.

ridiculous is slang. It was very much NOT an insult.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge. Watching their performances and their talent, I'd say that these two have WAY more talent than Chris Brown does musically. About the only department I can see him besting these two in is dancing. As far as music goes though, Chris Brown can't touch these two.

This band is cringe inducing. Just because you can 'talk fast', I refuse to call what they do rapping, doesn't mean you should. It's just well-off kids co-opting a style that is for less well-off kids. How can these kids from a Nebraska know how to be 'hard' or whatever they rap about? they are hipsters who think they can do anything. ugh.

Yeah, I was wondering if random annoying white girl rap was now a "thing" or new genre. I saw them on SNL and lately hear these songs with out of place terrible excuses for rapping, almost always in some annoying white-girl voice ( even when the "artist" is non-white). Plus when I saw these kids on SNL this Nick guy didn't do anything except pose in a Hipster Stance. Is he like a silent Hype Man or Hipster-hop backup dancer?
