I have always looked up to Adele and Christina Aguilera as singers ever since I was very young, and now my favorite male singer is Hozier.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are so many great singers out there.
I'm a big fan of skilled singers. Some of my favorites are Cee-Lo Green, Donny Hathaway, James Fauntleroy, and Kim Burrell.
Aretha Franklin, she's just the most amazing singer ever. But I think there are so many singers that I just loved and sang along to on the radio. I guess I just enjoy trying out different styles along the way.
I've always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers - whether female singers or just like music from this country in general.
Lauryn Hill's always been a hero of mine. And Bruno Mars, Janelle Monae and Adele, those are the current artists I would reference in terms of who's been able to do really amazing pop records with really cool, organic throwback elements of soul in there as well.
There weren't a lot of girl singers around. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the guys I looked up to.
I do know a good singer when I hear one.
My idols are Janis Joplin and Annie Lennox, who are neither of them from the typical pop culture.
My favorite singer is Lauryn Hill - all time, hands down. She was my biggest inspiration growing up.
I've always looked up to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey for their outstanding vocal performances. I've always been inspired by them.
