brendablethyn 536 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 From a Q&A with her ex-manager: "Very quickly we had all these calls coming in from round the world and we both enjoyed saying no because we saw that as perpetuating the feeding frenzy. The toughest refusal was saying no to performing at the White House. I would've loved to shake Obama's hand but I'm 47. She was 17 with her whole life ahead of her." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=11636219 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killa 17,655 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 So she was too young to shake hands with Obama, and he was too old? I don't understand. She was definitely too young to go to the White House, where Leontyne Price sang at the height of her career, but those glory days are far gone. It would be a great opportunity and it's not like Obama's the president forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was saying that she was 17 and didn't want to do everything right then, but he was 47 and so won't have as many opportunities to do that so he was a bit sad saying no.
