“I’m at a loss for what people really want from me? There is nothing I do that is good in your eyes. No matter what I do, it’s never right, and you always find fault. Have I offended you before? If I sing, you will say it it is not what my colleagues are singing and that it is an outdated genre. If I sing the kind of song you prefer, you will say I am too old for that kind of song. How can I possibly meet your expectations? What is the problem? Can’t you just let me be? LEAVE ME ALONE”.
Her remarks have since generated reactions online, with many fans debating the pressures musicians face in balancing originality with audience expectations.
