Deborah Cox Cia Quotations

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.

Both songs are really, really intense when it comes to performing them, and very draining at the same time.

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.

People see that I have my own voice, my own opinion, my own likes. The album really reflects that.

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.

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.

I never take on anything that is just for the money or just for, you know. I always have to connect with it in a very personal way because I believe the audience will sense whether I'm into it or not, so I don't take on projects that I'm not really passionate about.

It really just puts me right in that moment of the struggle that these people have been through, and I think the story of Aida represents a lot.

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.

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.

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.

I wanted to do Dreamgirls. If they're doing a stage production of Sparkle, I think that would be hot.

I prefer Princess. I would love to be known as a diva later on in life when I've had far more experiences.

The song came out to be a gem, just came out to be a really, really interesting rendition of it.

I think it's his perception of knowing how to make a record build, keeping the integrity of the song in the music and really adding a lot of musical elements to compliment my voice and to compliment the song.

I wanted it to feel like you were in the club and on the dance floor, so that was the approach and I think we accomplished that mission.

I'm at a point where I'm going where the journey leads me. I've set goals but I don't get really hung up if I don't achieve those goals right away or in my time, you know what I mean?

Whatever you feel is going to be truthful and maybe some artists don't feel like their songs are, have the same impact when they're remixed.

I had this instinct and I just knew it. It was a very strange thing and as soon as I finished recording it, we were all in the studio saying we have something really special here.

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.

I've done that I was touring a couple of years ago with R. Kelly and the Lillith Fair, I would do the late night underground gigs as well because it's always around those times that there was a hot song, either on the radio or in the clubs, it would just be simultaneous.

Oh, it was amazing. The energy from the people, the warmth of the audience was great and it really was a really, really good show.

I just bought a bunch of CDs and downloaded them into my I-pod. I bought the Seal record, a Swahili drum album, and there's some original African drums that I listen to before the show.
