- "When people hear me talk, they start to laugh," says
- Michel'le. "They can't believe I'm 19." When they hear her
- sing, though, they cheer. Her speaking voice is as high and
- soft as a child's, but she belts a full-throated ballad like
- nobody's business. She once wanted to be a lawyer, but at
- twelve, began performing on a small scale, putting on shows in
- her folks' Los Angeles garage and charging neighbors 50 cents.
- One album and a hot song (No More Lies) later, newcomer
- Michel'le has a growing audience. How far can she go? "If I get
- big that's fine, but it's not my goal," says no-nonsense
- Michel'le. "I'm not looking to be Michael Jackson." Or sound
- like him either.
