Rihanna has revealed that she loved Celine Dion and Mariah Carey growing up and used to watch their videos "all day long" and try to mimick them.
Speaking to Grazia magazine, she said, "I was always drawn to music and singing. By the time I was eight, I knew I wanted to sing.
"I loved Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Bob Marley. I would watch their videos all day long on TV because that's what they would play in the Caribbean. I would start mimicking everything I heard, everything Mariah did, I would try to do."
Rihanna added that she eventually stopped impersonating her heroes and developed her own sound, "I wanted to make music that could be heard in parts of the world that I'd never been to. I tried to make my own tone. Then you hear your own voice and when you eventually find your voice, that's when you get really serious about it."
