The fans who watched this performance cannot stop talking about how much she inspires them. They mentioned that seeing her perform gives every woman the encouragement they need to stay strong. She truly is a “kick ass icon” who knows how to rule the world.
Before she was dancing to disco again, she was in a studio in London trying out a sound that the music industry had never heard. She decided to use a computer program to make her voice sound robotic and sharp on a song called Believe. Her record label hated the idea and told her to take it off, but she stood firm.
