I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...I remember seeing her on star search when It came on Tv and I thought WOW this little girl can really belt it out! She is great at picking songs to put on her CD's for dancing and exercising. She is completely HOT! I like her for real. I dont know her personally but I feel like I do because of the media and her input throughout her career. She is human just like us. She is brave and is not ashamed of her beauty. I just love her! I know she is a legend and I can appreciate that she is the best at what she does!
