How nice the human voice is when it isn't singing.
I started singing about three years ago, I entered a local singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other people in the competition had been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches. I wasn't taking it too seriously at the time, I would just sing around the house. I was only 12 and I got second place.

I'm very soulful. I grew up singing in church. When I sing a song, I like to feel what I'm singing.
I've been wanting to sing for a long time. I've been singing all my life, and I've tried different record companies, but it seemed like - it was such a struggle and so hard to get out there. So, I said, 'I'm gonna go on American Idol and see how far it takes me.'

They look for the top note to end every song. They don't know what they are singing about. There is no style.
There will always be some kid who's the new Kurt Cobain writing great lyrics and singing from his soul. The problem is they're not marketing that anymore or putting it out there.
Children frequently sing meaningful phrases to themselves over and over again before they learn to make a distinction between singing and saying.
I like what it is to sing, or to be with the others singing, to make music, but the fuss and all the things that are the exterior part of a career, has never interested me.
I love singing, and I came to absolutely adore it in the later part of my career.
