She still was going through the motions. And then she just started fighting back. I saw her fight maybe for the first time in her life\u2014like, not everything is just given to her and everything is easy. She fought for it. She\u2019s almost on every number. I had to take her off some, like, \u2018Man, you can\u2019t be on that stage when she\u2019s singing \u201cSix-inch heels\u2026,\u201d are you crazy?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">He added that Blue is particular about how she approaches music. \u201cBlue is a crazy pianist, but she won\u2019t let us get her a teacher,\u201d he said. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t want it to be a job. But she has perfect pitch. If she hears a song, she\u2019ll be like \u2018Play it again\u2019 and then she\u2019ll teach herself. That\u2019s just talent, she doesn\u2019t work at that. She worked at this, and it makes me proud that she fought for something that she really wanted to do.
