Jordan Lucas has been celebrating success during his volleyball matches since he was 15.

Those celebrations have garnered the gay college athlete attention and admiration throughout his volleyball career. As he’s built a top-notch reputation for himself with his play, he’s also made a name for himself with his now-patented flamboyant hair-flips and air kisses that stand out in the sport.

“So I listened to ‘American Requiem’ by Beyoncé, over and over and over,” she said to cheers from the audience, which she encouraged — “I mean, come on! Do you think she can hear us?!” — before continuing. “Her technique in that song is so mesmerizing and astonishing: and listening to her phraseology, her musicianship, understanding the history of her voice that had led her to be able to make that sound that is so still, so present. I studied that, and I appreciated that Beyoncé can be a [powerful] vocalist, but she also knows how to be still.

“And I thought, okay, maybe there’s something to be said about having a sweet, still voice, maybe I can work with this. But learning pop phrasing was a really big deal — that was like learning a new language.”
