No one in the world can beat Ella Fitzgerald as a riff singer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of my biggest musical influences is definitely Ella Fitzgerald as a vocalist.
I feel there must be an enormous amount of really talented songwriters out there who can't sing.
I never was a very good singer.
We're in the dark ages if J-Lo can have a music career because of her ass. And let's face it, that's it.
Most performers don't get a chance to sing in Los Angeles.
I want to sing like Aretha Franklin. Before her I wanted the technical ability of Ella Fitzgerald.
I've never played a character that would sing.
I've never been a jam-band sort of musician.
By no means, I can't sing any rock and roll.
Sitting next to Olivia Newton-John, I was like, 'Do not sing one song from Grease.' That's all I was telling my brain at all times: 'Do not sing Hopelessly Devoted. Don't do it.'
