When we talk about my music, it's a cross between Tina Turner, Alanis Morrisette, and Diana Ross. It's the glamour and the showiness of Diana Ross; the ferociousness and pain of Tina Turner; and the vocals of Alanis.
I would love to do a biopic of a famous singer, like Diana Ross or Donna Summer, or an old jazz story that we haven't seen before. I would love to do that! I would love to play Diana Ross 'cause she's an icon. I'm salivating to do that.
I think that I sound a lot better than Diana Ross.
My earliest influence was Quincy Jones. I thought 'The Wiz' soundtrack was the most amazing thing I'd ever heard. It was my first record and you had Michael Jackson, Ted Ross, Nipsey Russell and Diana Ross on it. I even took it to show and tell in third grade!
She is always going to be Diana Ross; she doesn't have to put out another album to keep at it. I'm not Diana, but people know me from the stuff that I've done. And that stuff, those videos, live forever and will continue to be discovered by a new users.
Diana Ross... she's the bomb.
My ultimate beauty icon is Diana Ross.
I think I popped out of the womb singing Diana Ross.
My favorite style inspirations are between Rihanna and Diana Ross.
Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross and the Jackson 5, that's what I grew up on.
You can always tell where Diana Ross has been by the hair that's left behind!
I'm very inspired by a lot of things from the past, from Cher to Diana Ross.
Phil Ramone is very special. Barbra Streisand or Diana Ross... they are the best.
I always loved James Brown, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke.
Even before coming into the industry, I was a big fan of Motown, the Jackson 5, Gladys Knight, the Temptations, Diana Ross and The Supremes.
My mum used to listen to Motown. Diana Ross was my first singing teacher, really. I'd just sing along all the time.
