Well?

Nicki gives me confidence that I can find a legitimate audience in hip-hop/r&b despite being a gay male. She also inspires me to remain innovative, selective, and critical of my own work.

How about you guys?

Poll added.

Yes. Janet overcame so much psychological trauma etc. And Katy for how hard she worked/works to get/stay where she is

Yes, Nicki inspires me to stay ambitious while still having fun. She also comes from an islander family so I can relate to her alot.

Donald Glover is constantly reminding that being black isn't a script you have to follow. I'll continue to break stereotypes while also appreciating my cultural roots. I want to live my life in a way that's satisfying for me, I'm not gonna conform to satisfy people's perceptions of how I should act or behave.

Lana del Rey changed me entirely

Yes to be humble and ***flawless about what you do.

Ofcourse Avril inspires me she is def like my twinnie has the same style in fashion, music, she has good taste in men

common if she did not inspire me I would not have gotten this a week ago.




i was a tom boy back in primary school, then went all girly and blonde when she did..and recently I went back to black hair..but i'm still Avril twin and always will wear her abbey dawn collection everyday..she inspires me to live each and everyday...I push through my depression just to support my queen <3

don't care if I sound pathetic but its good to have a person to inspire too.

Kelly - Yes, her confidence and ability to not give a **** about what the press says about her inspires me

Beyonce - not really. I'll never be that perfect

Mariah - Her first 2 albums make me happy/euphoric

Bruno showed me that you can be straight while still being a bit sassy

yes very much so

harry has saved my life in so many ways & he inspires me everyday to see the good in life & the good in people & to not care what anyone else thinks about me just to be myself & not let other peoples hate get to me or change me he truly inspires me every single day
he is such a wonderful amazing unique special creature & i wish i could be half as good a person as he is

britney has inspired me since i was so young esp now that she seems happy even after all that awful **** she has been through & i hope one day i can find that happiness too
plus she is just so sweet & real & herself & i wanna be like that

She inspires me to never give up

Cher has come back from tabloid scandals, flops that would out Bionic to shame, and movies that have been panned to hell and back. But she doesn't give up., and bitch got her Oscar.

Gaga's BTW changed my life perspective.

I thought this was going to be about other artists... but yes! Kesha was a major influence in me picking up songwriting, and I never would've found out how good I was at it without her.
