When ARETHA FRANKLIN shares the stage with you/covers your songs in concert (Hero, Touch My Body), When STEVIE WONDER names you as one of the only 3 people he has met "who had a truly wonderful voice and spirit to match" & When PATTI LABELLE praises your talent and accepts you as her goddaughter, you turn from MARIAH CAREY to MESS-IAH LEGEND-AREY. KEEP HATING.
