Otherwise, why would they want to keep coming?" I want to make sure my shows always offer something new for the audiences. I thought it would be quite fun and unique.

"Back in those days, it's quite dangerous, because I was so high up above the stage and we weren't sure if the wires would be very secure.

So when you see me holding the microphone with both hands, it looks like I'm being extra earnest but, actually, it's because I need to stop myself from shaking," she says with a laugh.Įverything she does on stage, she emphasises, is for the fans.Īt all her shows, she continues to don polka dot dresses - her signature look - simply because that is what the fans have signalled that they want.

Upon hearing the news, disgruntled fans bombarded Biz Trends with calls and more than 1,000 e-mail messages to lobby for a ticketed show.
