“While I have their attention, I want to give them that advice from life experiences that they can tap into,” the Kennedy Center Honors alum explained.
“The music and the melody are technical things that I don’t have,” she argued. “I’m not a perfectionist, so it doesn’t really matter to me if it’s a little flat or sharp.”
“If you put your heart and soul into it and I felt something, then we did our job.”
