I watched the interview w/Diane Sawyer last week.
Lisa seems to be very down to earth and up front about everything. She even explained the Michael Jackson marriage, and how she did love him at the time and how she got sucked in to that whole fantasy thing with him. I don't recall her mentioning anything about MJ helping her with her singing career, but I could've been in the kitchen or something.
She was supposed to become the 'heir to her father's fortune' when she turned 25, but decided to wait until she was 30, which I thought was a very mature thing to do. She also mentioned that she was like a bull in her mother's china shop! She seems/seemed very rebellious, and doesn't like anyone telling her what to do!
Face it....I don't think she's singing for the money! She has plenty of it, and so will her kids, and their kids, and their kids!
And as far as her singing ability....IMHO...there isn't a whole lot of it there. Her voice reminds me of Cher's, very deep and not very appealing...again...IMHO. There were alot of background singers trying to blend in with hers, and thus covering it up.
If she makes it, good for her. But most of the listening population will be comparing her to Elvis...and nothing will ever change that.
