The music legend is very impressed by the current crop of female singers and insists she would be happy to give up her time to educate any of them privately.

She said: "I enjoy Beyonce's music and admire Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, and Mariah Carey."

"I'm ready to give advice and support to any of them that wants that. Because Mariah used to ask when I would spend time with her, I am available to discuss what it takes."

The 62-year-old singer says one thing the younger divas could learn from her is how to be a true professional.

She said: "I am an extremely organized person. I think I have a good work ethic."
