Personally I prefer Gospel music.

I started out doing covers.

I agree that a well groomed appearance or a slovenly appearance says a lot about one's character.

Well, I went through some emotionally abusive relationships and allowed myself to not be properly respected as a lady, as a human being even, though I tried everything I knew to be a lady.

Performing was easy because I believed that I could sing, but that was an outside thing.

Yes, too much emphasis is put on outward physical attributes in every area of American life.

Low self-esteem comes from who you assess yourself to be. It's about who you are, and I didn't think I was anything or anybody.
