I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The short answer is, yes, I think I have become a better singer.
To stay a great singer or guitar player, you've got to do it 24/7. That's what I do.
You always have to work to become a better singer, songwriter and performer.
If you want to be a singer, you've got to concentrate on it twenty-four hours a day. You can't be a well driller, too. You've got to concentrate on the business of entertaining and writing songs. Always think different from the next person. Don't ever do a song as you heard somebody else do it.
Obviously I'm not the best singer; obviously I'm not the best piano player or the best songwriter, but I'm doing my best on all of 'em. Once you have all those things in place, then I think everything falls the way it should.
A lot of what I have always done is do other singers.
I don't think I'm a great singer myself. I'm all right. I've worked with different writers, different producers... I've just been blessed with the caliber of people I've been able to work with.
I hope someone thinks I sing good. I'm always working hard to sing better. I sound the way I sound, but I can always be better. I work hard at singing and being a better recording artist.
A lot of the way I sing is playing off other musicians. It's what I love to do the most.
So don't think in reality I am a singer, I think I am a human being that has sung always all her life, and has learned a little to sing, and has found herself in the middle of a career.
