I see myself in the contestants. I'm not the one to tell people, 'You have to sing this way or that way.' Talent is something God gave you when you were born. I don't want to give them technical advice. I love mistakes. When talking about art, the most important thing is to not be perfect,... I want to be a fan, and to be a fan you have to conquer my heart. I don't want to give marketing advice.
