Franco has its own rhythm it’s very hard
to when you sing it’s gotta be always
within that same rhythm you can’t sing
it literally you know it’s gotta be
always in that contra you know that’s
why we do the palace and everything you
also need to give it the character that
it has that’s what’s that’s the hardest
thing I can hear what we say Cathy oh
that’s when you hear it looks like you
know it looks like it’s hurting it looks
like it you know what I mean you’re
saying if I make a lot of people say
what is he hurting because it goes you
know so that’s what’s hard to to think
so we saw you dancing you’re a senior
and advancer which one do you like the
best dancing makes me another another
thing which is the physical aspect the
exhaustion the the letting out
everything you have you know and that
intensity but then again you’re limited
in the places you can do it you know
good thing about being a singers you can
sing everywhere you can practice in your
car you can practice on the street
that’s very good too and a lot of times
I felt really either sad or different
kinds of and singing is gotten me out of
that
