The Associated Press caught up with Cheyenne Kimball for a Q&A and asked the 16-year-old if she’s worried about being categorized with other young pop singers. “It is a worry of mine but it’s not like they are negative or anything,” Kimball said. “They just have a different thing than I do. Ashlee Simpson and Jessica Simpson and all of those girls have a different career than I want to have. I don’t want to be a flash in the pan. I want to be around for a very long time. I want to be like a Sheryl Crow or a Melissa Etheridge or even a Madonna with how her career has lasted so long and she is still respected in the music business. That’s really what I am aiming for. I’m not really looking for 15 minutes of fame.” Read more.
