I'm not the best singer - like, I know I'm not Celine Dion.

I know I'm not going to sing like Aretha Franklin or Elvis Presley or any of those people.

I've been getting into different gospel artists; Aretha Franklin is someone I've been listening to a lot of.

I want to sing like Aretha Franklin. Before her I wanted the technical ability of Ella Fitzgerald.

If you think about it, Aretha did basically the same things that I do.

There was just something about me she did not like.

There was a time in American history when almost every white person knew who Aretha Franklin was.

I never was a very good singer.
