People saw me as just a singer - yeah, a pretty face who could sing - and not more than that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Originally I considered myself a singer.
I was always one of those fortunate people who never wanted to be anything other than a singer and an actor. Most people know me as a singer, but I am also an actor.
People have always had these weird things about how you have to be really good looking to be a singer.
There are a lot of people who would laugh at the idea of me being a good singer.
I always thought I was a singer, but I really am not.
I never really wanted to be a singer, because I was a super-shy kid. Singing made me feel awkward, and I was really insecure.
It didn't matter as much because I'm a singer, not an actress, but my face is more acceptable in a way now than when I first came on the scene, because I'm part black.
There are a lot of people who look great but can't sing.
I was never much of a singer. I was terrible. It's embarrassing: I was trying to sound like everybody else. I went through a big Cure phase, so I was trying to do that kind of dramatic voice.
I never saw myself as a singer; I never really thought I had the voice for it.
