My inspirations include the Beatles - love, love, love them - Elton John, Carole King, and Stevie Wonder.

Oh, yeah, I've always thought of covering some of my influences like Billy Joel, Elton John, Stevie Wonder.

Nobody put the camera on the background singers who were singing. It was on Stevie Wonder. It was on Elton John. It was on whoever was the lead singer out front. We were 20 feet from stardom.

I love Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Brandi, Sade, Nat King Cole. I like the Beatles. I listen to a lot of that.

Elton John and Billy Joel, I find them both to be huge inspirations, those guys are so talented.

I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
