“… If you count this year, Kate and I have known her for 13 years, and I think I should have told you many times that I only met her after she was picked up by Kate when she was away from home for Christmas that year.” says Let's be honest Anne, you don't think I would have been like when I was 4 years old, I don't know where my life would have turned if it hadn't been picked up by Kate, so fate is really hard pondering…”
"... At least until that night, I didn't think Jesse would confess to me. We have been classmates for 5 years and have been friends for 5 years, but I know very well that there are other vague feelings besides friends, but I don't know what she's thinking, so I keep this feeling in my heart. Just before that moment, I just made up my mind to be only friends, so when I listen to her sincere words, I really don't know what to do. How to say no! Even if the relationship with Kate was clear at that time…”
"...I can't describe the feeling between Nat and I, Annie, have you ever been in love? Have you ever felt that way? The kind of when you first saw her and found out that you had fallen in love early on. The other side! Yes, early, you heard that word right, Nat is the only one who made me want to take possession without even thinking about the other person's feelings, in fact I did. God bless I She restrained herself in time, and although she hated me for a while, she was still friends with me, and finally accepted me after that trip…”
Angela sank into the single sofa, closed her eyes and covered her forehead with her hands. After a while, she sighed and looked at Annie: "Annie, am I being hypocritical and selfish?"
Annie, who had been quietly listening to her, bit her lip and hesitated before saying, "You know, Angie, the truth is very hurtful."
The girl suddenly smiled: "It seems that the answer is already there."
"No, Angie just wants to say that there is a little bit, but it's definitely not all of you. As someone around you, I still know a little bit. You are definitely not that kind of person, it's just... just..." Annie calmed down and thought about it carefully, Then he took a deep breath: "I haven't been in a relationship, I haven't even dated a boy, I don't know what to do between gays, I just think it's not fair to them, at least in my opinion they all love with all their hearts I'm following you, but you... can't..."
"Yeah, it's not fair..." Gila sighed deeply, "This is probably the difference between men and women."
"The difference between a man and a woman?" Annie was a little puzzled. "What are you talking about? Are you not a woman?"
Of course, I have been my own woman for more than ten years, but I have never been a real woman. Some things can never be forgotten. No matter how well Al plays, he is not the real godfather. The girl laughed self-deprecatingly: "I mean, in this regard, I'm more like a man who wants to hug each other, always want to take everything in his hands, yes, and like women."
Hearing the last sentence, Annie couldn't help but burst out laughing. After realizing it was wrong, he quickly put away his smile, seeing that Angela didn't take offense and was still a little unhappy, so he said again: "I can't interfere with your decision, Anji, I just want to say that you can now because you are a public figure, no Dare to open up your homosexuality to cover up all this, but you can't cover it up for the rest of your life. Not to mention the three of them, what will your loving parents think of you when they find out about these things?"
Angela was silent, and after a while, she looked at Annie again: "You wouldn't tell anyone, would you?"
"Yes." Annie nodded earnestly, "Just like before."
"I don't believe it!" Angela said suddenly, then got up and grabbed the girl's shoulders and leaned down to stare at her, "I once heard people say that there are only two ways for a woman to keep a secret, one is to kill her, and the other is to let a woman keep a secret. She becomes her own woman!"
Annie immediately leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair. She didn't even dare to show a pretty face, and her face was even whiter. Angela, who had achieved her goal, giggled immediately: "Okay, I'm joking."
But Annie was still hesitant, and Angela couldn't help but laugh at the current appearance of the enemy: "I said it was a joke, if you do this again, I will really pick you up and throw you on the bed!"
"Got it, got it." Annie muttered and sat up straight, pouting her lips, which made Angela want to laugh again.
"You know, Annie, it's really pretty when you don't laugh or get angry," the girl said jokingly, and then changed the conversation again, "But if you laugh... it's very ugly!"
"Ann! Ji! La!" Annie couldn't help glaring, but in exchange it was the other party's laughter.
"This is not a joke, dear Annie, so you can only smile in the future, understand!" After Angela had laughed enough, she reached out her hands to hold Annie's left hand, and said softly, "Thank you, Annie, It's more comfortable to have someone share one's secrets than to fight it alone."
Annie also sighed softly, and her right hand was also held together, looking at Angela and said seriously: "I know something in the future and I will not hide it from you again. Similarly, if you have anything you want to talk about, you can talk about it. Find me, I will be your most loyal listener, I will always stand by your side, I promise!"
Fans' favorite month is probably August, because their Royal Highnesses and Miss Genius choose to release their new albums in mid-August every year, almost without exception - except this year.
For some reason, seeing that the release time of the new album is coming, and the title song has already started to hit the charts, Disney suddenly announced that the release time will be postponed, and the explanation given is that Angela wants to do it better, although many people feel Confused, plus all kinds of gossip - there are even claims that Miss Genius is planning to terminate her contract with the record company because of something! However, after Angela also admitted the reason for delaying the release in pursuit of perfection, fans put their hearts back again. Anyway, the release time was only delayed by about ten days and it was still within August. Of course, anxiety was inevitable.
That's why the new album sold 280,000 copies on the day it was released! Almost 10 times as much as when she released her first album! It simply broke the record on the first day of the album. Angela signed more than 3,700 copies when it was signed at Wilshere Plaza that day. In the end, her hands were swollen and she had to apply ice for several days.
I have to say that Disney is very good at publicity. Even if they agreed to Angela's request to postpone the new song when it was about to hit the charts, it did a little trick to attract the public's attention, and at the same time made them feel itchy. , In addition, Angela has never spent much time on music, and she has no intention of opening a large-scale concert after her debut for so long. The enthusiasm of the fans is like a turbulent torrent stopped by a dam, and can only be vented through several channels. , so there is such an amazing first-day sales!
Of course, the acclaim was as good as ever, and Los Angeles Times music critic Carlos Fleming praised Angela's cover of "Loving you": "It's less ethereal than Shanice's version, but more ethereal. And light, as if coming from outside the sky and incomprehensible, Angela's singing skills are perfectly reflected in this song, I think Miss Genius is at least half better than Shanice!"
But the debate over Loving you continues, with a reporter for the Chicago Tribune writing: "It's a different style than Maria Kelly's original Miss Gila, similar but different. Mind you, it's hard to tell who's doing better, but there's no denying they're all great!"
In fact, this is not bad. Some people even confuse Minnie Repton, Shanice Wilson, Maria Kelly and Angela. At the end of writing, it is almost impossible to tell who is who. Such an article can still be published in a newspaper, I really don't know what the editor is thinking.
Angela was very happy that the cover of "Loving you" was affirmed. In the talk show, she also generously admitted that it was the result of countless recordings. If you want to sing live, it may not achieve the same effect as in the CD.
"To be honest, I really want to hear Maria Kelly sing "Loving you". With her ability, I can definitely sing a more beautiful version. Maybe I can learn her singing skills to be more confident when singing this song live!" Angela said that when she mentioned "To Mother", she nodded and admitted that it was a song dedicated to her mother, and she did not hesitate to talk about the car accident a few months ago.
"As I said in my apology, I was thinking about my mother's car accident, but I didn't think that I might cause a car accident at any time, and the other party could also be a mother, which made me sad and made me reflect. There are many ways for a mother to express her love, but there is no need to take extreme actions! So I wrote this song, and the metaphor between the lines can be seen by any child who loves his mother." Allah's confession Very sincere, after the show was broadcast, the public's favor naturally increased again, and even within a week, it had sales close to triple platinum.
But at the same time as the praise, the criticism this time is also more severe and sharp than all together!
"To put it nicely, any style is Angela's style; but to put it badly, Angela has no style at all! If only the first and second albums at the beginning contained songs of various styles , if we are surprised and happy, this can only make people tired for so long. A mature singer must have a music style that he is familiar with and good at. He can try different music styles on different albums, but he should not be in the same music style. Trying a variety of styles on this album, everyone who likes music will have their own focus, trying to please everyone, and the result will only be empty!" - "USA Today", James Sumpter.
This is the most representative of all the critical articles. In short, they are all disappointed with the hodgepodge, even if it is a delicious hodgepodge, even the fans interviewed on the street admitted: "Angela's song is of course very good. Great, I love her, I love her country comfort music the most! What? Oh, sure, I'd love her if she'd put out a country album!"
