She is absolutely breath taking! I have been in love with this woman since I was 8 years old. I’m 34 now, and I swear one day I will meet her…
Waiting for her next tour. I’ve been a fan since your first recording.
You are beautifully human…your skin is dark, and appears to be sun kissed! Gorgeous!
Congratulations on your honor to perform at the Kennedy Center. Wish you much joy and peace.
Eagerly awaiting your next performance in DC..for the general public.
Stay light.
