The girls will surely be all over you when u have the cash to back yourself up. But when it's gone, u are on your own

Even after stopping for 2 years it still did not encourage her to quit singing permenently. She is indeed a music star!

The award should be what will make her return to music a complete move. Her story is inspiring.

Death can make us do what we don't want to do sometimes. Rest in peace to her dad. Too bad.

Music is deep and it was worth the break she took. But she has to just do her best now to be at the top of her game.
