I've never been this embarrassed in my life. It's the worst show I've ever done in my life.
They have the right name. They must be deaf if they don't hear me.

I'm so grounded, it's sad.
Women are dominating the charts, and women are doing it for themselves. We're kicking butt and taking no prisoners.
