“He or she may have a beautiful voice but if it is not connected to a passionate heart, which the listener can feel within themselves, then the passion will only be larynx-deep. To me, being a great singer means being able to communicate not only through the voice but through the face and body. To be called "great" you have to be an excellent interpreter of the music and the text.”
