Over and Over…. Is Keyshia Cole the new Mary J ? According to Keyshia, the answer is no when it comes to the woman who inspired her..
“I feel like we are very similar based on everything we’ve been through in our personal lives. It’s helped make us sing the way we sing. Because she didn’t have a vocal coach, and neither did I. And when I met her I told her, “You winning all those Grammy’s-congratulations-it gives me inspiration to this day that maybe I can do the same thing.” You know, it’s just a real big life circle. I think there are a lot of things that she could tell me that’d help me. I’m not trying to take nobody’s place or nothing like that. But I’m just saying, as a woman-as a young Black woman-if she knows some of the answers, Give ’em to me!” (Essence)
