I do love singing. I wouldn't say I'm any good, but I definitely love it - especially jazz singing.

I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop.

I don't limit my taste. There's some jazz that I like and there's some opera. I've been listening to what was essentially country music, but it crossed over to rock.

My favorite music to sing would be my own songs, my original songs, just because I know them, you know I write the tunes, so my favorite songs are the newest ones that I write. That's what I like to sing the most, because it means something, it's real, it comes from me.

I like all kinds of music, though I tend to prefer jazz and classics.

My favorite type of music to sing and to listen to, you know, rock. It's not always metal, but you know, half the time it is. Metal's cool, you know? Not everybody on 'American Idol' listens to metal.

I love singing, and I came to absolutely adore it in the later part of my career.
