Shakira is a talented singer, and I am a huge fan of her.
I listen to music mostly in the evening. I've come to love what is called world music, like the Zimbabwean Oliver Mtukudzi and the Colombian singer Marta Gomez. I also love the Irish folk singer Mary Black. Other favorites include Chet Baker, Eva Cassidy, and Billie Holiday.
I found my voice singing pop and ballads, almost all of them Colombian artists. When I was 16, my family gave me a recording session with some Colombian producers, and that's where I started my career.
At the end of the day, all people want to do is hear a great singer sing a great song. They don't care about what vocal changes it went through. You can't screw up a great song and a great singer.
I don't think a good singer or a great singer is either of those things without a great song.
A great song can make a terrible singer sound good, but a good singer - you put a great song on top of that, you're really in great shape!
I did record a bunch of stuff, but the thing that usually stops me from doing that is that I'm a terrible singer. I made a bunch of instrumental music, and it feels really good, but just as a singer, I'm not good.
It doesn't feel great to be compared to Genelia or anyone. I don't want to be compared, and I would like to think I am different.
I was in Barcelona working with Shakira, and it was an amazing experience. She's a great artist, and I learned a lot while working with her.
All I've ever wanted to do is master my craft. I'm a singer, and I want to be a great singer.
I'm saying that she (Whitney Houston) looks great for a singer... the way Courtney Love is a singer.
It's kind of great being a group without a lead singer, because the possibilities are sky high. Odd things become the lead singer, noises become the lead singer. It actually makes the thing much more flexible.
Van Morrison remains a singer who can be compared to no other in the history of modern popular music.
It feels great, definitely feels great to have your number called and be a part of the offense.
When I finally put my guitar in the case the last time, I want to be remembered just as a singer, not as a country singer or pops singer - just a singer.
I could go on to speak of sanity as compared with insanity, decency as compared with vandalism, friendship as compared with rabies.
