Generation Quote by Leslie Uggams
“Mariah Carey has a gorgeous, high, high voice. She can hit those notes and she lets people hear them. It's that generation - that's what they're used to. When you come to my show, I'm not that generation. I love lyrics and I make sure people know the story I'm telling.”
