I think, as a woman, I've finally grown more sure of who I am." Lopez also believes she's a better singer now. "When I went in to record a song, it would just be the voice I was focusing in on," she explained. "My anxieties made me shut off a lot to the emotions of the music. If you think too hard or worry too much, you just don't free yourself as a performer." What made her stop worrying about her voice? Her third husband, Marc Anthony. "I remember on the first day we recorded, I went into the booth and he was watching me," Lopez recalled. "As usual, I was thinking about my voice. The song I was about to record was a beautiful ballad. Marc just looked at me and he said, 'Jennifer, read the words, sing the words. Don't think about your voice, think about what you are singing.' It was amazing. I started to sing and after a few minutes I entirely forgot all my anxieties about my voice." Read more.
