"The game has changed because all bets are off. These women are doing any and every damn thing on stage and trying to sing, too. And the ones who are doing the most physicalities, with their butts and stuff, and their body parts, are the ones that usually are compensating for what they don't have."
"I came to sing, and I came to really do a good job, and that's hard work. I don't feel like it's hard work once I'm doing it. I feel great."
Chaka Khan, at 73, asserts that many contemporary female performers rely on physicality rather than vocal talent. During a podcast, she discussed how the expectations for women on stage have evolved. Khan noted that performers who emphasize physicality often do so to compensate for their vocal shortcomings. She emphasized the importance of singing well and expressed that her focus remains on delivering a strong vocal performance without needing to resort to elaborate stage antics.
