My voice does take on different expressions in my songs. I feel it when it’s coming out. I never plan anything.
“It’s different singing songs that are hits over and over than it is trying to do the same show over and over. You want to change all that up just for the color of it.
When you’ve got your songs, sometimes I’ll sing it a little bit different.
But I’ve also had fans say, ‘I don’t like it when you change the tune,’ because they’re used to hearing it like it is on the record. And people, they don’t like a change in something that they love.
So I try to be as true to the songs as I can, but you never get really tired of singing the songs that are hits, because you see the reaction that it gets and it gives you a feeling of great pride.
You’d think singing ‘I Will Always Love You’ or one of those songs 2,000 times in your life or more that you would get tired, but they’re always different because your audience is different, and that night, your mood is different.
I mean, it’s like, you don’t feel the same every day. Something might have happened to someone you love or you might be going through something personal.
Now my voice does take on different expressions in my songs. I feel it when it’s coming out. I never plan anything.
I think that they mean something different all the time.
But you never get tired of your hits because they’re the ones making you the money.”
