'Remember the Time' and 'You Rock My World' from Michael Jackson were two of my favorite songs ever. My mom used to bump them all the time.
Two songs I like are 'High Flying Adored' and 'Another Suitcase Another Hall,' both from 'Evita.'
The audience wants to hear 'Rock n' Me,' 'Space Cowboy,' 'Living in the U.S.A.' When you start to play something else, you can feel the interest and enthusiasm go; the steam goes out of room. They are really 'Greatest Hits' fans and that's what they want to hear. It's disappointing that it's this way in the U.S.
I think when you finish an album, you tend to have your favorites, where a lot of the time are not the singles.
Some of my favorite songs--and I don't know if this is the right terminology--are white-boy classics.
A lot of people pretty much only listen to the chorus.
To me, there's two types of songs, good and bad. And I just like to stick with the good ones.
I like a lot of weird songs.
Every artist wants some sort of feedback, because you make this music and you hope people love it and you want to hear if they love it and what they love about it, what their favorite song is, what they think the next single should be. I like to hear those things.
When the second album came out, everybody gravitated immediately to the three and a half minute rock tunes and ignored the ballads. They thought all the Raspberries were was players of high-energy rock songs.
Sometimes I want to hear something fun to cook or bake to; other times, I need specific songs to to lift me up.
The male gay community seems to be very into female singers. I think it could be the songs we sing. They're more open with their feelings. And they have good taste!
I see myself as a serious artist, but yeah, when people come to my shows, they want to hear 'What Was I Thinkin',' 'Drunk on a Plane,' and lots of up-tempo, fun songs.
I quite like childlike songs, which sometimes cross over.
I loved doing Cee Lo’s Bright Lights in the Big City. That was definitely a favorite of mine, because I love to get all soulful. And a close second would be Flo Rida’s Right Round, because I could rap, which I’ve never really done before.
