Yes, I was very nervous going up there and, again, I really wanted to tell the
story and I didn't wanna miss any words
preparing for it was quite difficult because the...the workload this week
was...was
pretty intense. We're doing a lot of the Cover Girl shoots,
and video...
for the promo and there was so much homework
to do and very little time to rehearse, so yeah, I definitely had the nerves
going on tonight.
Well I actually heard about that
after the fact, thank you, Jesus! Because, actually, I was in agreement
with him
all week long I was going, "oh my God, this song is so hard.
There's so many notes and so many turns and curves, and the words, and the story, and how
am I gonna do this
without the time that it really takes to dedicate
to learn a song and own it? How? How? How? So uh...
and I love this song, so it was so...I was like passionate about delivering that
message
but for Simon to say
basically, "You did good, girl!"
That just...you know, that just makes me stand up so tall, it makes me realize
that
maybe maybe maybe he's seeing, finally
that I...I do have a place in this market, that I can compete.
That there are a lot of girls in here, a lot of people can come up to bat
a home run.
Give me a chance, Simon,
give me a chance. I can do this. My inspiration in music,
you know, I love...I always talk about Michael Jackson, every week,
because he's so...he's so diverse, he's
so huge, and just the stories,
stories, stories. Change the World, stories, and so I really...
I love him. I really do
and
Donnie McClurkin, I'm probably saying his name wrong,
but he sing, Holy Holy Holy, I gotta practice on how to say his name,
but he's amazing because he touches my soul,
when he...when he sings. CeCe Winans,
I could go on, and on, and on. I mean Patti LaBelle,
listen to the vocals on this woman!
Kelly Rowland is a diva,
let's just get it right. Her voice is amazing!
Her stage presence, her... just everything about her.
I can give you a list. I could go on. Hello, angels
I tell you that I love you every week and...
and that's because that's really how I feel, and I just,
I can't...I wouldn't be here without you, I couldn't go further without you.
I don't wanna do this alone.
Thank you so much, I...I would never let you down, you know my mission I wrote
about it
and I know together we can...we can achieve something great and make a
difference
for the children, it's all about the children.
I love you so much!
