So ...my morning began with finding out that I am all over billboards, tv ads, and other media formats along side a tobacco company who unbeknownst to me is sponsoring my Jakarta date on my current tour. I was not made aware of this and am in no way an advocate or an ambassador for youth smoking. I'm not even a smoker, nor have I ever been. Unfortunately, my only option at this point was to cancel the show in order to stop the sponsorship. However, I can't justify penalizing my fans for someone else's oversight. This is a lose-lose situation for me and I am not happy about it but the damage has been done and I refuse to cancel on my fans. I think the hardest part of situations like this is getting personally attacked for something I was completely unaware of and being used as some kind of political pawn.

So, Melissa Etheridge is so cool first off, but her voice is absolutely incredible!! I'm so happy I asked her to sing on the show with me and I'm even more happy that she said yes and I got to perform with her! It was one of my favorite moments of the year…she's such a class act and rad as can be!

I also got to meet Adele for the first time and she's so freaking adorable and sings like an angel! India Arie was really nice and it was pretty much amazing that I got to see her and Sheryl both perform last night because I'm a huge fan of both and had never seen them live before! I knew I'd have fun at the show, but I didn't think I'd have THAT much fun ha! All the girls on the show are pretty much the opposite of 'diva'. They were way too nice and friendly and everyone was having a great time! We're all different but it made for a very eclectic and exciting show! I was super proud to share the stage with such classy girls!

Although we just finished a tour, I'm back in rehearsals for my upcoming fall tour haha! No rest for the weary We're actually all pretty pumped about it because we're adding different songs and we just built an entire stage for this specific tour, woohoo! We're also doing a pre-show party too so we're all learning songs for that as well. I'll be singing some covers by artists I like and some unreleased songs which will be fun.

Off to bed, later
