I was always singing to myself, but I never ever performed, and I never told anyone I liked to sing. So it was a definitely a new adventure going in to audition for ‘Glee.’ – Jacob Artist
You’ve got a song you’re singing from your gut, you want that audience to feel it in their gut. And you’ve got to make them think that you’re one of them sitting out there with them too. They’ve got to be able to relate to what you’re doing. – Johnny Cash
Sometimes I just think that there are more things to be said to make the audience understand what I’m trying to do more. When I’m singing, I don’t want you to just hear the melody. I want you to relive the story, because most of the songs have pretty good storytelling. – B. B. King
I started playing guitar when I was 14 and eventually gained the confidence to start singing a little bit. – Jacob Whitesides

I tried to connect my singing voice to my guitar an’ my guitar to my singing voice. Like the two was talking to one another. – B. B. King
I don’t see Arijit Singh as a competition at all. That’s because we both have a very different style of singing. In fact, I really appreciate what he’s been able to bring to the playback singing industry. – Armaan Malik

Elton John can be a master of the sleight of hand. The arrangements make it seem like there are substantial melodies underneath the tracks – but almost nothing demands repeated listenings. Similarly, he always sounds like he’s singing up a storm, but his voice glosses over the material, reducing most things to an uninteresting sameness. – Jon Landau
Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin. Now, they are so subtle, they can milk you with two notes. They can make you feel like they told you the whole universe. But I don’t know that yet. All I got now is strength. Maybe if I keep singing, maybe I’ll get it. – Janis Joplin
