Barbra Streisand, for one, is one of my idols. I've listened to her since I was a little kid - the first album I ever bought was 'A Star is Born' with Kris Kristofferson.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love Barbra Streisand. Anybody who knows me knows I just love her, love her, love her!
Phil Ramone is very special. Barbra Streisand or Diana Ross... they are the best.
Barbra Streisand is without a doubt one of the most honest people I have ever known. There is no doubt in my mind that she will not be doing any more concerts. Of course, she still will be making records and starring and directing in movies.
Barbra Streisand has always been an inspiration for me. I admire Jennifer Lopez because she's been against all the odds, and she's made such a name for herself, and she can put her name on anything and it sells, and I admire that about her, but Barbara Streisand and Woody Allen are my favorites.
Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.
Beyonce's the only contemporary artist that I really, really idolize.
My idols are Janis Joplin and Annie Lennox, who are neither of them from the typical pop culture.
Billie Holiday I never met, but I love her music.
I love Barbra Streisand and Sade who've both had careers in soul and I want my music to have that timeless quality that isn't necessarily now.
I guess something people wouldn't expect me to listen to are artists like Alicia Keys. But she is so incredibly talented. She has this huge voice and great work ethic, which I really respect in an artist. She is also very humble and gracious and devoted to her skill.
