WHY ?

• She made her songs out of her feelings towards something. The lyrics remind me of her life, her career, her struggle to fight lupus, her smoking habit, her relationship with her guy (or her fans)... her.
• Listening to her songs, I feel like she's here by my side, painting how she feels about things on my heart as her paper (even though what I get doesn't always mean the same thing to her or other people). She's a very talented artist.
• She's young, very beautiful, even if I were a woman, I'd like her. She's mesmerising, gorgeous woman (girl, if she prefers it). I don't just have a crush on her, I love her.
