I would sing along to oldies songs :) When I was 6 or 7 I joined a children's theatre group, and that was where I got my first taste of REAL singing.

I think it may have been NKOTB - but Hanson inspired me to become a > band! Ally: Hanson. I have always loved singing, but never thought I had a chance at "becoming a singer" or doing it professionally until Hanson came around.

Oh, and I want a car. ..I would also consider donating some to > charity... to a suicidal teen cause. Ally: I haven't thought about that... I always want lots of space so I'd probably go for a very big house. A great studio of my own would be nice. I have a problem with shopping when I see something I want, so I know I would blow a lot of money on clothes whether I intended to or not. And, of course, I'd be generous and give some to my family, friends, and charity. |
