She doesn't delve into what you may initially think she would. For example, she doesn't throw any credence at the rumor that her label forced her to show her belly button for sex appeal, nor does she ever give any validity to the rumor about permanent damage to her singing voice. Maybe the rumors were false. Maybe the rumor about adopting a bad technique for awhile is the one that's true? 🤷 Who knows?! I really don't care, truly. I've heard some of her newest stuff and don't really hear any vocal strain. This is one of the best autobiographies I've ever read! She doesn't really give a play by play of her careers, but rather writes this as if she's recalling her memories to you in an in-person conversation. It's more than charming. It's alluring. She also shows growth and a willingness to laugh at herself,  which is very becoming. Maybe her vocal strain over a decade ago was a cry for help? It could have been because part of this book was about her facing her demons. It's also funny at parts. Especially how she describes the way she sings, LoL. 5 stars.
