Lyrics:
Ex-Factor
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
I wrote these words for everyone
Who struggles in their youth
Who won't accept deception
Instead of what is truth
It seems we lose the game,
Before we even start to play
Who made these rules? We're so confused
Easily led astray
Let me tell ya that
Ex-Factor
Ex-Factor
After winter, must come spring
Ex-Factor

From being boo’ed on Amateur Night at the Apollo as a teenager to winning Grammys. She can’t be denied! Talent at its best!!!!!

[@Wardfolio]

In life, sometimes you get boo'ed. She was tough enough to endure it. It is what separates the strong from the weak. You're not going to have your way all the time. People need to learn that today.

She didn't get booed off, she stuck it out and even was given applause after she got through it. She was booed for a bit after going flat on a note due to nerves probably. But she wasn't booed off completely.

The fact this woman was 23 years old when this album was released! Her mind was beautiful, her hair, her skin, her delivery, her vibe, her ESSENCE was so pure and smooth af! The way she wrote about what she was going through and turned it into a forever relevant masterpiece is amazing. You can tell, her putting out this one album her whole career allowed her to get some shit off her chest and I appreciate that. I am in my 30's and I can honestly say I cry the best healing tears listening to this song and the album itself.

Music is so therapeutic. Heard this last night at work since forever & I still remembered every line. Although he's a different genre, that's why I love Trent Reznor (NIИ). He has written every lyric himself & he went through some very dark times. To know that someone you respect knows what it's like makes you feel less alone. Now, he's in his 50s, has a stunning wife (Mariqueen Maandig), 5 kids & is getting his due respect in the industry. He's one award away from an EGOT, putting him in the same group as John Legend, Elton John & very few others.
