Kenny Lattimore Duet With Heather Headley. Not just a good singer, that would be too easy. And overall, I hope people think I was a good person. That would be a great thing for me in the end. I hope people say we love the woman she became the mother that she was (one day). Nelson Mandela touches people’s lives now, and it would be a dream for me to do that too. Nowadays we don’t care if Sidney Poitier acts anymore we just want to hear what he wants to say. And that it wouldn’t be about my voice so much, but my spirit. I would love to go places and have people want to hear my thoughts on things. I think Oprah is so wonderful these days because she’s stands for something more than just a personality. But also as somebody who stood for something. So I want to be a versatile performer who did everything.

I hope that I have a 20-year music career, but in this MTV/BET world, by the time you’re 40 they’ve had enough. That said, how do you wish to be remembered? I hope that people will accept that it’s about the beat and the groove but also about the lyrics and the way it’s sung. Sometimes I watch MTV, VH1, and 106 & Park on BET and I go, ‘Lord Jesus, OK?’ I would hope that there are people who will think I can put this I wanted the album to be well sung and produced. Many of today’s R&B chart-toppers are mediocre singers who have more beats to their songs than voice. All I could remember was that I just made a complete fool of myself on Broadway. The audience is looking at me like, ‘Did you just speak Nubian and we didn’t know?’ My conductor is looking at me like I’m plum crazy and I’m just making up my own language. The whole stage has moved in corners laughing at me. I made up my own language, and finally I sang the words, ‘I do not know…’ the entire cast turns upstage, all the slaves are laughing at me. And I just started singing nonsense words, made up words after it. But my brain tells me if I sing the vowels or something, it will all come back to me because this is how my brain works. I was singing the third verse of the song, ‘The future is a barren land…’ and I forgot every word after that. At some point during the show, I started thinking about lunch and what I was gonna eat after this song. Doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo Oh, my, where do, how do I begin To answer the question I know you been show more. I’m standing at Aida doing the first song, which is a sad one describing how Aida is taken from her land.
