Jennifer Love Hewitt Remembers Her First Public Singing Performance
Yahoo! Music, Oct 20, 2002 7:00 am PDT(10/20/02, 7 a.m. ET) -- Jennifer Love Hewitt recently released Barenaked, her third U.S. album. She also spent a portion of the '90s on the TV show Party Of Five. Prior to hitting the big time, she grew up in Texas and performed at rodeos and fairs. She told LAUNCH about her first time singing on stage.
"I was 6 years old and I performed at a dance recital at one of the local high schools for my dance group. And I was always kind of put in the back of the dancing line because I had been one of the people at this dance studio for the longest period of time, so they always put the new people up front. So this one particular year I kind of kept moving my way to the front, singing and everything, so they decided that they would let me sing. And I performed 'The Greatest Love of All.' And the mic was off the entire time. And I was just kind of screaming it at the top of my lungs."
Hewitt's Barenaked debuted on the Billboard 200 at Number 37. Her action-comedy film with Jackie Chan, The Tuxedo, is currently in theaters.
