I'm trying to be a professional singer. . . . I've never been given the chance before. But here's hoping it'll change.
Will Young. He's a great white soul singer. But he was slightly disappointing when I met him - not that friendly. Perhaps he was having a bad day. I love Take That, they're terrific. Gary Barlow is so talented. I've always hated punk rock and I'm not mad about rapping, but then it's not really for my age group.
I'm very fond of the Talent series, and also the Crystal Singer trio.
I was not going to be a stupid girl singer. I was going to be way more than that.
I met someone the other night who's 28 years old, and he hasn't worked a day since he left college because he's pursuing a dream he'll never, ever realize: He thinks he's a great singer. Actually, he's crap.
Having to sing makes me feel like a singer. And I don't view myself as a singer, but I guess I now am, because I am singing every day.
I'm a chameleon. I can change my voice a lot. I always was able to, because in my family's music I was a harmony singer, and harmony singing is really hard.
A jazz musician is a combination orator, dialectician, mathematician, athlete, entertainer, poet, singer, dancer, diplomat, educator, student, comedian, artist, seducer, public masturbator, and general all-round good fellow.
It's the singer not the song that makes the music move along.
On stage, generally speaking, the story is stopped or held back by songs, because that's the convention. Audiences enjoy the song and the singer, that's the point.
A great singer has to learn how to inhabit a song.
I used to be a street singer in San Francisco.
All I ever want to do is what I am: a singer.
People saw me as just a singer - yeah, a pretty face who could sing - and not more than that.
The key to being a singer - try to do it audibly.
I just don't think I'm a very good singer.
In hip-hop, I wasn't very focused on delivering a message. It was just a string of lines that didn't connect. What I wanted to do is write stories. . . and affect someone's emotions with that song. I think as a soul singer, I'm able to accomplish that.
My singing wasn't horrible, but my dancing really made it look silly. It's not like I'm a horrible singer that can't sing. But I don't have the consistency or the presentation skills that a good performer has.
I want to be a soul singer.
I'm a horrible karaoke singer.
