  • Not many people know that. -Did you sing in school?

  • They were called the Madrigals. It was a group.

  • And I would sing, like -- You would get solos.

  • You would try out for solos, but everybody got a solo.

  • It wasn't like -- Everybody, like --

  • They gave all the kids solos.

  • But I did get "All I Want for Christmas is You" solo once.

  • And I was really excited -- really excited -- because also --

  • In school, it's, like, the most terrifying thing to sing,

  • because you have crushes in school.

  • So I was like, "I have to sing this solo in front of my crush."

  • And then I -- I was, like, really working on it,

  • and I really belted it out.

  • And then his feedback -- Apparently, he told his friends

  • that I was too loud and it was too powerful.
