EnyaI will be singing primarily all the songs from the musicals that I have been in from over the years.

Gary CheroneI don't know if I could write songs if it wasn't for the female race, to be honest with you.
Christian KaneI don't want to be 35 years old and still popping out songs in miniskirts and la-la-la.
