Sometimes you have to listen to a CD over and over before you really get it, but as soon as I heard the first NOTE of R&B ARTIST Chrisette Michele's DEBUT CD, I was blown away. Her voice is playful but pretty, LIGHT but strong - the woman's got soul.

The PROFESSIONAL CHILDREN's School, it's for professional KIDS, so if you wanted to DITCH, you could just WRITE, Audition on a note and leave. I didn't really like school all that much.

Joachim Alcine does CERTAIN things in the ring that I've seen and TAKEN NOTE of. There are some things I believe I can take advantage of.

I was just OBSESSED with soul singers who had these big powerful VOICES. I used to LISTEN to Aretha, Whitney, Mariah and TRY and imitate them, note for note and riff for riff.

I have a HUGE rib CAGE, which is why I can hold a note out until I'm blue in the FACE... because I have such a big lung capacity.
