It had elements of Miles Davis and Billie Holiday and little horn pieces. The way he combined that, I was like, ?Hmm. I bet he would get where I?m trying to go with this record.? It was taking a chance. God knows if he would even do it because it was kind of his first time, I think, even venturing into the ?pop? world. I knew that it would be a different and new thing for him.
I watched the MTV Video Music Awards every year, telling myself that one day I'm going to be there, and it's like, finally - I made it!
But I'm not falling for their lies and neither should my fans or Britney's.
It's really sad to see that some tabloid magazines still have to manufacture ill will between Britney and me.
I hope for the best, it's great to be nominated even once in your life.
In this business, it's often all about hype, record sales, and a crazy schedule of traveling, performances, and it can be easy to get lost in all that.

Honestly, I just want to have a good time, listen to great singers and great music, and just use my instincts, as usual.
I'm very eclectic in what I like and what I listen to. But my favorite musical ever is "The Sound of Music." That was actually one that inspired me to sing.
I think that the best way you can get honesty across in your music to connect and relate to people is to be motivated by personal emotions, stories and feelings.
How could you not learn from Cher with her work ethic and the way she commands attention when she walks into a room, but exudes such peaceful tranquility and love for everyone. She just makes you feel warm and welcome and more inspired to do a better job because you want to step up to the plate.
I am very honest, even in interviews.
