“But my go-to karaoke — like done-done — is ‘In Love with Another Man,’ Jazmine Sullivan. Like, if I’m with my friends and we want tosingsing and get plastered and really f—ed, absolutely,” she says. “But, ‘One Less Lonely Girl.’ Lesbian heaven.”
Damian actor Jaquel Spivey, 25, gets specific with Whitney Houston’s songs: “In my key, ‘How Will I Know’ or ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody,’ because I think everybody and their mama knows it. But in my key.”
