"Album of the Year: Channel Orange, Frank Ocean," she said. "He's a young innovative performer with a soulful sound.

"Song of the Year: 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)', Kelly Clarkson. It's an empowering song with a positive message."

Michelle also explained that she loves working out to music, saying: "'Whip My Hair' by Willow Smith always gets me moving - and it's just so inspiring how young and talented she is! I also love anything by Beyonc - and of course 'Move Your Body' gets me going not just because it's a great song, but because of the amazing video she did to help get kids active in support of [my childhood obesity campaign] Let's Move!"
