If I'm going to release anything into the world, I want it to have a positive message. So I think that 'Sit Still, Look Pretty' and 'Hide Away' were two upbeat pieces, and their messages really uplift me the most.
I like to listen to Beyonce or any type of upbeat music when I am working out. Gospel music always motivates me.
I don't need anything to get me up at the gym other than 'Metallica' and 'AC/DC'.
I wanna hear some Diana Ross, I wanna hear some Marvin Gaye. I wanna hear a song that reminds me of a better day.
As I grew up, a lot of the music was made to uplift the spirit.
I've loved Patti LaBelle since I was a little girl. I love her so much because she's spontaneous. I love Shirley Murdock, Keyshia Cole, Jazmine Sullivan and Tweet and Faith Evans. Faith's songs got me through a lot.
We all need songs that bring out our inner swagger just listening to it.
I think having the right music can really help you have fun while staying in shape. Make a great playlist that motivates you!
I know that Annie Lennox has saved my life quite a few times, and I never forget that.
I love inspirational R&B, like Mary J. Blige and Jennifer Hudson. I want to do that. That kind of music stays with you.
My pump-up songs before I compete are not the usual. They're more girly songs. I love 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus. It's about the journey and savoring every moment. I have 'The World's Greatest' by R. Kelly on my playlist, too.
We don't make music for people to take drugs to, we make music for people to live their life.
