I really like the thing I did with Martina McBride. I had that song sitting around for a long time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Country singers put a lot of soul into their songs, and I enjoy that.
I've had this song in a drawer for a long time, maybe seven or eight years. Every time I'd do an album, I'd take it out and listen to it, and always liked what it had to say. Plus when Garth came in and sang on it, that made it really special.
My go-to karaoke? 'Alone' by Celine Dion.
The only song I can sing is 'Lady in Red' so that must tell you how great it must have been.
I'm a big singer. I really love it.
When I performed at 'Open Mic U.K.' I had this connection with the audience that I'd never felt before, and I loved it. It was my first big thing, and looking out into the crowd... was just amazing.
I love singing, and I came to absolutely adore it in the later part of my career.
I have two favorite songs. My first is called 'Dance of The Robe' and it's a very powerful number where she is feeling the pressure from her people to take on the responsibility of leading them.
As far as favorite 'overall package' record of all time, I'd have to say 'My Girl' by The Temptations. I like everything about it, not only the composition - but the arrangement, the production, the lead vocals, the background vocals, the horns, the strings. That one I listen to over and over again.
I wrote 'Oath' for Cher Lloyd because there were really no best-friend anthems out there. Not only did she love it, she wanted me to rap on it, too!
