I have about 4 albums of Disney songs, but the embarrassing part is that I know each song word for word, and have dances choreographed for most.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always try to think of a vocabulary to match different musical situations.
The one thing I've always demanded of the records I've made is that they be danceable.
But anyone who's done a musical knows; whether you're dancing or not, physically it's the most difficult thing you can do.
I think I'm going to put together a compilation under Disney's name of my songs that I've done for them - because I've done six or seven by now! The latest was for the Princess Diaries 2 soundtrack. So that's the next thing that's coming out.
I have a whole lot of songs.
Every song has a bouquet, which is the music. If you can put words with something that is really apt, then you've done it.
We went through this business of me writing out all the parts for these old songs from Gravity and Speechless and we'd been performing that, but we don't do that any more.
It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.
I'd like to be able to recall every J. Lo music video dance routine ever, naturally.
Attempting to write vocal oriented songs to me felt like going through the motions and if you are going to go through the motions you might as well just do any gig that caused you to do repetitive motions like banging a hammer or serving fries.
