Awesome Interview with Jermaine
Jermaine opened up to USA today in a nice, telling interview. Some of the highlights include:
Musical influences: “Donny Hathaway is No. 1; Phyllis Hyman, No. 2.”
Best judge’s compliment: “Ellen told me she loved me. And Kara said, ‘Jermaine, you are hot!’”
Criticism he needed to hear: “Song selection. Any time I pick a song, just make sure it’s from the heart.”
Song he’d love to sing that’s not a good fit: When he sang A Kiss From a Rose. “Simon said it was the worst rendition he’d ever heard.”
