The first time I heard a Billie Holiday record, I thought, 'What's so great about Billie Holiday?'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I thought the Billie Holiday comparison was beautiful. I think, Wow, what a wonderful, creative, helpful spirit. She's someone who wanted to help others by sharing her emotion. That's what I do, too, so I think that's a great comparison.
I had no desire to become a singer until I heard Billie Holiday. The first time I heard her on a record, it was a revelation. She sounded like a woman singing about herself.
If I hear a record once, I usually never listen to it again. I rarely listen to music - unless it's Billie Holiday.
The kid at 9 or 10 who knows who Billie Holiday is... that's the coolest thing ever.
I loved Billie Holiday more than any other person other than myself on the stage. Yeah, I do.
I was trying to do Billie Holiday, because she was the voice to be heard at that time.
Billie Holiday I never met, but I love her music.
I really like Billie Holiday's husky voice, and I'd definitely like to find out more about her.
The one thing about Billie is he will snap and rip your head off if you point anything out at all other than how beautiful he is and how nice he looks today.
When Billie Holiday sings a song, I hear the song, but I always hear her and her truth.
