There's so many singers, you watch them and a lot of it is waving around. You don't get this feeling that they're really thinking about what they're saying.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can sometimes get your own feelings across more strongly if you pretend that you're singing it from someone else's angle. But it's always from me. It's just a new way of framing it.
It's tough hearing your voice on the radio, on a chorus, and knowing that people think it's another artist.
I'm not a huge musical fan. It's like when people just jump out singing; it's not real.
It's so crazy to see people singing along to songs that aren't even released yet. I'm like, 'How do you even know the lyrics? Have you been watching YouTube?'
It's such a rush doing a concert and seeing people actually mouthing the lyrics.
When you raise your voice in song to express what's going on deep inside of you, I think people just react to that because it's so truthful. It's so raw.
You can't explain the feeling of singing hit songs to an audience - it's like being a genuine sports star at the peak of their powers.
I don't think I'm a singer, I think I'm an expressionist. But it takes time to put it in people's minds that this guy is not singing, 'Baby, I want to have you.' This guy is actually thinking about what he's saying. This guy has something to say.
A lot of artists don't like the sound of their voice. They're put off by it.
Music tells you about the artist and what they were thinking about at the time, because the person has to think about it to sing it.
