I never thought I could sing. I still don't.
I was very honored to get to be part of 'American Idol.'
If you love attention and have a pretty decent voice, that's a pretty good combination.
A couple of days working with Joe Jonas, I thought, 'This guy is a slayer of a singer; he's really funny, goofy, and sexy. We need to write that.' And that led to 'Cake By The Ocean.'
I have had people telling me that they liked my screen presence and my voice, so I guess that's my strength.
For the first 25 years of my career, I did nothing but sing and dance.
I don't think it's important to be that good at singing. I think people who are good at singing sing backing vocals for pop stars. It's about how you project. I wouldn't consider myself to be a singer.
When you are up close to an opera singer, hearing this incredible volume of noise coming from a human being - it's beyond belief.
I like to see myself as a composer first and only then as a singer.
I think Usher is a bonafide superstar because he's very honest in his songs, and people can relate to that, especially in the feelings and textures of his voice. He is one of the best.
Everyone tried to be a singer other than just a player. We had four voices in The Moody Blues.
I've always wanted to sing. I don't think I have a great voice, but I just think that I get the emotion. It's very authentic. Whatever emotion I'm feeling, I can sing it, and you can feel it.
I'm not the best cruise ship crooner. I'm not the best karaoke guy.
We do not seem to be finding tomorrow's Toscas.
When I was young, I had a beautiful singing voice.
Playback singing has always been my dream.
Coming from the U.K., I can think of so many great songs and musical moments that didn't require a belter of a voice; my favorite singer is Kate Bush and she's not a belter, or PJ Harvey... I'm definitely more of an alternative girl.
With great artists like Elvis, sometimes the songs weren't the greatest thing about him. When I tried to perform some of the songs, I noticed some of the tunes weren't all that brilliant, but it was the performance that sold them.
There are lots of reasons people come to Beyonce shows. There's the music, her dancing; all in all a bedazzling show. She's a great performer and singer.
The best vocalists I can think of are female.
Jamie Foxx does a good rendition of me. It's a real gift, mimicry of that kind, the tonal thing. It's sort of like having a talent for playing an instrument.
I don't know if I should say this, but I feel more like a singer than an artist.
I think that Frank Sinatra was maybe the greatest pop singer.
I say I'm not a singer, so that means I can't sing. But - doesn't it?
I think it was just an opera. Now, you go to opera, you expect to see and hear what the opera is. So, it was Catfish Row. It was singers. Marvelous voices. It didn't make no difference what color they were.
