The thought of bringing a cake into a dance music show is a bizarre one. The idea of rafting on top of people is just as bizarre as well.

My Auntie CeCe – I can kind of joke and say all I need to do is pray. But that’s literally what she does… She lives what she sings. I’ve learned a lot about her in that way, so in bringing her to the stage, I knew what sort of demeanor she needed to have. Her songs are very reflective of who she is in real life.

It’s better for candidates to suggest ideas that are responsible, not ones that are incapable of being executed. People are influenced by what their leaders tell them. And bringing the level of rhetoric down brings the temperature down.
If a girl is smiling and is bringing positive energy and she’s happy, that’s what I notice right away – and her teeth.
