I prefer Princess. I would love to be known as a diva later on in life when I've had far more experiences.
I wanted to do Dreamgirls. If they're doing a stage production of Sparkle, I think that would be hot.
I've always been switching around the show to accommodate the audience, and you know it really makes it a lot more fun for me and keeps it fresh so that I'm not complacent with the same show every night and with every audience.
So I did 'Something Happened on the Way to Heaven' and the original version is a ballad. The original Phil record is uptempo but we slowed it down and made it a ballad.
From beginning to end it's about keeping the energy and the intensity of the story and not doing too much and not doing too little, but just enough so people stay interested and stay involved in the characters.
It's really a grand old, legendary theatre where the spirits of like Judy Garland and all these great performers have been. The clubs are way more underground.
The record was only released in the UK, and then when the idea for the remixed album came about, which was an idea that I've had for the longest time, I said this would be great song to remix as well, and so we did it.
People see that I have my own voice, my own opinion, my own likes. The album really reflects that.
They've got the singles and some people have burnt them from different web sites and stuff. So it was something that we talked about for a long, long time, and I just wanted to make sure that this remix album to be really special.
When I first heard that song, it was a ballad but it had a lot more. It felt like a gospel song when I first heard it and it just moved me.
Where every moment is about truth and I think it's a great challenge every night. That's what really drove me to wanting to do theatre, and it's great.
We don't have choices about when we feel it. But we do have choices about what we do with it.
We're hoping this Tuesday that there will be even more people coming out. We are hoping for communitywide support for as long as she is in the competition.
When you're angry, you know your needs, rights and opinions in a way that you don't at any other time. When you're happy or sad, you're not necessarily as aware of your individual stake in things as you are when you're angry.
