Alicia Keys
Alicia loves getting on stage because she doesn’t have to worry about every note: “Even when I’m singing on a record there’s a lot of times when I’ll fight for a bit of imperfection. I might not have quite hit the note to the perfect pitch but there was a soul in there and feeling that, to me, delivers the emotion of that moment. For me, doing a show, the excitement of singing live, and the possibility that you’re not gonna be perfect – that’s the thrill of it.”
Ana Matronic
The ‘Scissor Sisters’ singer says that while a lot goes in to live performances, nothing can beat it: “There is a lot of work involved with touring and it’s difficult being away from home. I do really enjoy being at home. I’m a gardener and I love being in the garden. It’s tough to leave. It’s so lovely to have someone at home who keeps you grounded. On the other hand, there is nowhere I would rather be than on the stage!”
Lady Gaga
Gaga says she simply lives for performing live because it’s where she feels the most like herself: ”When I’m not on stage I don’t feel alive. But when I hit the stage it’s like everything that I’m thinking and feeling, where I belong – that’s where it is.”
Katy Perry
Katy says she loves the challenge of live performances: ”I love being on stage and even though I went through some pretty tough times last year I had to separate that because I know my problems are my problems and they are not the audience’s problems. They are here to see a show and to be entertained, so I got on that lift, put a smile on my face and went up [on stage] with my t**s spinning!”
Slash
Guns & Roses’ Slash loves being on stage and it’s the main reason he joined the band: ”Live is predominantly what I got into this for. I love to write songs and I love recording them, but its all a means to an end and that is performing live. Playing live now, when it comes down to it not much has changed over the last 20 years, but I’m a little bit more coherent these days, and I’m a little bit of a better guitar player, so I guess it’s a little more fun.”
