This should be good… im first yeah

I love Musiq soulchild. Can’t wait for his new Album to drop!

cool

IM SECOND…. WOW THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE… I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HAS HE BEEN UP TO THE LAST COUPLE YEARS BESIDES WORKING ON HIS NEW ALBUM… THANKS

LOL@2nd…that’s y i just post

QUESTION: What was his inspiration for this album?

My Question: Is He Dating Anyone At The Moment, Whats His Preference When It Comes To Dating Women?…

Does He Write His Own Material?
Who Are His Past-Influences In The Music Industry?

Wow! Ne-Yo, and now Musiq? This is a great oppotunity, Angel. Congrats!

Okay, what has he been doing in the last couple of years?

WHAT KIND OF BUDDY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I love Musiq…had purchased the bootleg yet?? If so, how does it sound. I will wait to get it from Best Buy..

Ask him why he let them put him up to singing the National Anthem? lol

Ask him if he ever plans on colaborating on a project with the worlds hottest female singer….ahhh….oh yeah…her name is Beyonce’ Knowles!

And, ask him if anyone ever says he looks like “Cole” for the Martin Lawrence Show?? lol

I got a qestion for Musiq! Musiq, what was your inspiration for making such a wack ass song such ass “Buddy”? Furthermore, the use of the song “Heartbeat” as a sample is so 1980’s.. I expected more from a talented guy like yourself.

P.S. I know this question will never be posed to Musiq, and in all likelihood will be deleted and maybe I will be banned! Heavens no! What shall I do..

I noticed U been one of the artist selected to play @ Prince 3121 club in Vegas. Have U taking any advice from Prince about going Independent and selling your “muziq” online. Because I think record companies are going to be nonexistent by the end of this decade. Thx I’m a big fan

oh I loooove Musiq! I got a question. Is there anyone in the music industry that you haven’t work with yet that you would love to work with?

If you see fit to select my question please ask him who his greatest musical inspiration is. And congrats on snagging this interview. He’s one of the few artists I care to hear/read an interview about. Unlike some others I know I won’t get the usual “Nah Mean” and “Nah Whut I’m Sayin”. He’ll probably have something intelligent to say.

I love me some musiq soulchild. My favorite song from him is “Crazy”. Can you ask him what can we expect on his new cd? and lol @ meatloaf, he does look like ol’ Colely Cole on Martin.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angel Please ask him, What new music is he feeling?

OK. I got one more, Ask him what he thinks about attaining commercial success. Does he think it’s fleeting? Does he want to be a commercial success or is he happy being known as a Neo Soul artist that fewer people can appreciate? What does he think about titles like that (Neo-Soul)?

why was his promotional tour so disapponting?
Its been reported all over internet, in several cities.

I saw him at Rams Head and he ran (didn’t sing)from the mic all night!!! We understood it was a promotional tour, wich he repeatedly said,even if he sung two songs…it should have been much better.

Stop taking fans for granted!!!!!

Okay, I think his new single is quite funky, but I’m curious to know:

He speaks that a ‘Buddy’ is ‘a different type of commitment’. Does he care to elaborate on what kind of commitment that is? Just sex partners? Just friends? Or Both?

Please ask Musiq if he will be at Essence Music Festival again, and if so, tell him I said to tell them they need to put him on the main stage and not the d**m coca cola lounge, because he is too fly for that sh**. It was too crowded in that little corner and i couldn’t even get a glimpse of my FAVORITE artist…

a while back on 106th he stated that he was dropping the “Soulchild” from his name. Y did he think that was neccessary, and i see that he kept it the way it is. personally i think Soulchild fits him accurately.

that was my question by the way Angel ^

Can I be greedy? lol I have 2 questions.

1.) Does being from Philly make an impact on the music he writes? (You know how sometimes people say their life and where they grew up, shows in their music)

2.) Who are some celebrities he would like to work with? Any out of his genre?

I wanna know Does he want to be called Musiq or Musiq Soulchild?

Cuz a few years ago ..he said he was dropping the Soulchild…

ask him how he got so swole up in the face only?i know the camera adds pounds but he looks riddiculous in the Buddy video

ask him why he chose to make such generic music this time around?

ask him what he thinks of the male RnB artists out there like John Legend & Robin Thicke who seem to have taken over that Musiq/Maxwell niche

The game has changed since he came on the scene, what will he do to stay relevant? There are madd dudes out there vying for our attention (Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Omarion, Ray J, Tank, Bobby Valentino, Mario, Sammie, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Jaheim, Joe, Marques Houston, etc.) That’s one CROWDED ass field!

I saw him when he was in Houston, TX at Joe’s Crab Shack on 610 Freeway. When is the next time he will be back in Houston?

I saw him when he was in Houston, TX at Joe’s Crab Shack on 610 Freeway. When is the next time he will be back in Houston?

^^^don’t remember the month but last year in 2006

omg angel has done it again i like this dude this interview is gonna be good

How does he feel about the whole “sunglasses all the time” image thng and the eye thing? Does it make him more concious or is he accepting of his and other’s flaws.

And Definitely address the whole INDIA.ARIE phase of his life, because we all wanna know fo real.

Question:

If you could choose any clebrity right now to be your “buddy” who would it be?

LOL

what he thinks of christina milian? and if he would work with her?

QUESTION: Kindly ask him what philosophy he lives by.

I, like many other women, want to know if he indeed has a child and a girlfriend? Because it was a rumor I heard awhile ago and just wanted to get some clarification on.

Question:
Having listened to all of his albums to date, it seems most of his songs sound like they are sung right from the heart, and a lot of emotion can be felt when listening. I was wondering if that meant that a lot of his songs were personal to him, and so I guess my question would be if Musiq has any influences that he draws from when writing/performing?

and also why doesn;t he have spaces in his song names lol

ahhhh! so love musiq!

Hey Angel La! I have a question for Musiq:

A lot of people are saying that hip-hop is dead, or that it’s dying. Is it safe to say the same thing about R&B and soul?

I can’t wait for this…..such a fan…and I can’t wait til the cd drops….he has been missed in the industry….

Please come back to Phoenix, AZ. You have more fans here than you realize and unfortunately, this city does a poor job of supporting urban music. WE NEED YOU HERE!

@19 I agree. I just saw him two weeks ago in Norfolk, VA and he was HORRIBLE. He only sang 4 of his own songs and the rest of the night he say James Brown, Gerald Levert, D’angelo and the band just played and played. His singing was off and he is not Gerald Levert or D’angelo. Then he was trying to dance like James Brown and he can’t dance. I love Musiq, I have all 3 of his albums, but I was very disappointed with his show. He needs to step his game up. I am definitely put off buying his album until I hear the whole thing.

I can’t wait for CD.

sup Angel la–from one journalist to another, you are doing a great job on these interviews. i particularly enjoyed the john legend scoop….

here’s my QUESTION for Musiq: Many fans have been praying for years for that perfect neo-soul music tour, with people like you, Jill Scott, the Roots, Bilal, India.Arie, etc on the lineup. Is there any possibility we could get that in the near future?

How have you handled being so underrated by the mainstream media?

What are his goals for the future?

When did he realize that music was what he wanted to do?

and in the middle of the professional questions, just slide something in about him and india arie and ask why they broke up. he won’t notice. be discreet and say it quickly so that he’ll answer without thinking

Ask him when is him and Antonia getting married. I need to know. Thanks.

Ask him what he thinks about the state that R&B is in today? What he is bringing new to the table this time around? And also tell him Thanks for keeping his glasses on.

I would like to know about some of the things he has learned that have surprised him since entering the music industry (regarding business). Lots of people think you get to where he is and it’s all fame and glory, but I want to hear about some of the lessons along the way. And tell him that his song “Love” is genious. Thanks.

lol oooh i love these interviews.

Hey chica,

Ask muziq:

Like everyone else I want to know what happen between him and India. That could have been a beautiful (in soul) couple and they would have had brilliant soulful children.

Also, What was/is up with him and that backup singer of his. I think they we’re sisters or twins. Are they dating?

QUESTION: Recently, you were in Dallas, TX doing a concert. I was there, and you said Dallas was one of the better cities as far as who knew and bought your music. Was that a true statement or were you just trying to make us feel good?

QUESTION: Being at the Dallas concert, I had a great time, the music was nice, you sounded great but alot of the fans kinda of felt like they didnt get enough of Musiq. For one, you were an hour late coming out then you didnt sing enough of your own songs. I, personally, I was just hype that night and I loved it all but I definitely understand what everyone was talking about. So your next wave of tours, will you be performing longer than an hour with your own material?

I also ditto #44

Q. As an artist whose created 3 classic albums and is primarily responsible for creating the births of dozens of little rugrats since 2000, how many years do you think you can/want to continue putting out music at this high level and if you could take a guess how many albums would that equate to?

QUESTION: WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO ARE ALWAYS COMPARING YOU TO DIFFERENT ARTISTS BECAUSE I FEEL THAT YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSON?

What R&B females would he like to work with?

Your albums seem to follow some type of pattern of whats real in a relationship. I like the honesty in your songs. But why does every first single off your albums deal with trying to become “friends” or “buddies”? Are you seeing anyone right now that would give you this type of inspiration when writing?

Question: Ask him why his hair get straighter and the girls get lighter with every new album? His first video “just friends” he had a fro and a brown woman. Then he had an S-Curl thing going on then he had a cesar type perm. Did he feel pressure from his label to change up?

I’m lookiong forward to this interview.

I have a question for him Angel. He was scheduled to perform here in South Africa with Will Downing some time last year but he didn’t pitch up and we were told that he “missed his flight”. Most of us didn’t believe that, please ask him what was the real reason he didn’t make it to South Africa to please his millions of fans here.

Another question, the last album, Soulstar, wasn’t as successful as the the previous 2, especially the debut album. What is it that he has done in Luvanmusiq that will propel him back to the standard he set out with his debut album? When he did that album, was he conscious of the fact that he had to come out hard to reclaim his throne, if I may?

Another question…a while back he said that he was dropping the Soulchild from his name to symbolise his growth as an artist. Why has he decided to add back the Soulchild? Is it because of the title of the album, so that it appleals/sounds right

I have some questions…

1. I know you are musically influenced by the late great Donny Hathaway. Have you ever made an attempt to do a collaboration or something musical with his daughter, Lalah, who is still actively pursuing music?

2. What happened with your situation over at Island/Def Jam, and is that move what prompted your decision to do more mainstream R&B on your latest album?

Are you and India still good friends?

Oooo Im so down for #57. That’s a big thing these days with the light skinned women always being seen in videos.

Question: Going along with #57, was that a choice you made or your management made to “go lighter” with every album release?

I have been wanting to know for a long time if Musiq wears a prosthetic eye ,because I have a little sister who wears one ,and I think this would be an inspiration for her to know that a major music star also wears one.

#57 Musiq does not have a perm….that his nature hair….his fro was his natural hair….he doesn’t have a s-curl that is his natural….a person can change their style for themselves there is no exact reason….or issues or pressure from anyone to change their style….#63 he does not have a prosthetic eye…his left eye is lazy….that’s all nothing more nothing less..#19 and #42…I think the reason why he wasn’t on stage long enough was because the venues that he performed at didnt’ give him enough time to be on stage….it’s not his fault…..all venues have rules and time limits for acts to be on stage….A lot of people that is in my fanbase group said the same thing it’s the venue….and he doesn’t take his fans for granted….

#64
Your riding him and thats cool. Venues big or small, one hour or less…you do your best. Stop making excuses… just as he did. Whats makes you a fan?
A fan tells the truth…He’s cool…I’m from his home town. My boy needs to step up in these times.
Singers…Sing…they don’t run from the MIC.

Raheem Devaughn $15. SMASHED IT!!!!!!
Robin Thicke $25, same place- where I saw Musiq,
SMAHED IT!!!!!!

as I said before: Stop taking you fans for granted!!!!

Regarding the Promo Tours: I attended several and I thought that Musiq did a wonderful job of bringing the old school to the new school. Especially since it was BLACK HISTORY MONTH and some of our greats have unfortunately passed away recently. I’ve been to many concerts when people don’t even realize that Musiq has done a cover of a song, because they are not musically educated in our musical history or how we impacated the music industry as a race.

My other comment is, have YOU been in a different city every night, working your butt off on stage? Lights, camera action basically 24/7 trying to promote yourself. Every venue has rules, regulations that must be followed. And at times, THEY have the last say about how long a show will last. Try packing everything into a 90 minute show, not easy.

The Norva unfortunately was not, in my opinion, prepared for the amount of people who came to the concert and it showed in how they treated their guests.

When the real tour hits, then make your comments, but a Promo is just that. Short, sweet and to the point.

PEACE LUVANMUSIQ - AND BUY not BOOTLEG the CD

CherryMoon

TELL HIM TO COME SING IN H-TOWN

YOU MUST ASK:

What is the TRUTH with the whole INDIA.ARIE situation…i’ve heard everything from he hooked up with Erykah Badu, to they were never dating in the first place, to India found a new man (who broke her heart prompting inspiration for her latest album), which if that’s true then maybe what goes around does come around…but i love india so i just wanna know what REALLY WENT DOWN (or what is STILL goin down LOL!)

look forward to the interview

Musiq is the business…”Aijuswanasing” is still in heavy rotation at my house..

Ask him what we can expect from this album opposed to his others….I can’t wait for it.

66#
The point is….if you weren’t on the scene for a minute. Promo or not….give your best.
Black History month or not, give your best. Here we go with the excuses…maybe he should take a break from city to city. Why give a powerful show in one city and be tired in the next. Rules and regulations has nothing to do with your singing. When the real tour hits, oh! he won’t be tired? Whats the difference between a real tour and a promo? The promo should be better. Stop counting the minutes…minutes has nothing to do with it. BUDDY?

Ya’ll really doing some big things on the Loop.

If you interview Luda, please, can I be there.

I won’t even say nothing. I just want to be there.

I don’t know what to ask Musiq, but I am just really proud that you guys are movin on up to the East side….

It’s not just a gossip blog anymore.

I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW THE REMAKE OF “SOMETHING” CAME ABOUT!

4 questions for musiq

a) after aijuswanseing, you dropped the ’soulchild’ from your name because you havent mastered the craft and couldnt consider yourself ‘music’s soulchild’. after a 4 year gap from juslisen and this new one, did you add the soulchild back because you’ve acheived that level you mastery youve aimed for?

b) what was it like leaving def jam? were they not focusing on your and your musiq after president carter took over?

c) how does coming from a background with christian and muslim teachings influence your music?

d) there is no doubt that you are one of the most influential persons in the “neo-soul” genre. however artists in the genre have kind of fallen off recently (ie dangelo, lauryn hill, erykah badu, and others). what is it that keeps coming out with fresh material? is it the hip hop element to your music or do you accredit it to something else?

#65 and #70 No one is making excuses for him….I was stating what the members of the fanbase group on yahoo that I have for him told me……and stating again….if the venue you perform at doesn’t give you enough time to get on stage and perform the way you would like to then what are u supposed to do….he’s at their mercy…and he haven’t been on the scene for some time for you which you already know…so it’s just a promo tour….the major tour hasnt’ happened…yet and I’m pretty sure he will do the damn thing then…and yes I’m a devoted fan of his and will represent him to the fullest…..again no one is making excuses for him….I understand you feel like the show could’ve been better…but hey he had a certain amount of time and that’s it…call TLA and complain to them for not letting him perform longer to your liking!!!

I hear Misiq is a very spiritual man, who grew up in the church!

Ask him how important is spiritality to his career and success?

To Gwynne:

Since this is primarily supposed to be about the upcoming interview regarding the promotion of his Album. Why don’t you ask him what goes on behind the scenes? (dealing with management, venues, transportation or in other words the LOGISTICS of putting on any kind of a show) Ask him what his schedule is like on a daily basis? Ask him on a typical show night, what does he have to do to get through the night?

I follow several musicians and I’ve been there through set-up, rehersals, venue problems, security problems, weather conditions affecting your voice, but as the old addage says, “The Show Must Go On,” or you’d have something else to complain about. RIGHT?

Either way, until you take a walk in his shoes, I’d step lightly.

MUCH PEACE

CherryMoon

Behind the scene is what it is behind the scene!!!
If I pay..I have a right to say!

# 69/ I respect your opinion and clearly understand what your saying. Has it changed my opinion. NO.

Best wishes MUSIQ.

i believe im one of your biggest fans,i would like to know,your age?im a 41 year old female.however, i find you have such a mature sound and style, with a young flavor.check out my page on bp(missv40bf), you will see im LUVANMUSIQ!!also i hear you new album will drop march 13th, i hope so….i will be the first in the the store to get it!!the 13th is 3 days before my birthday,what a great gift for me!! also, for the peeps out there buying bootleg…STOP!!would you work for free? NO!! nor should he!!i want him to continue making good MUSIQ!!! PAY TO STAY

I went to Radio City Music Hall to see Musiq and Jill. Being a fan I’ve seen Musiq before but at smaller venues like S.O.Bs and he was great. Yesterday, his performance was mediocre to say the least. He had band issues and in all fairness anybody that follows the likes of Mo’Nique will be rattled. She was not the comedian for this type of show. She did nothing to set the mood for a neo soul experience. She was the epitome of embarrassment for black folks, she was raunchy, cursed profusely, and give exploit details of sexual acts that would even embarrass Snoop. She was a poor, poor choice of and host/comedian. This made it extremely difficult to enjoy the real reason we were their.

hey this is your girl donnisha your album is amazing i can relate teach me.however why do you always have on sun glasses.would you ever take it off you will always look good!

Hi,
I would like to know when will Musiq be performing in nyc. I haven’t seen Misiq in concert as of yet. I’m always find out about his shows a day or two too late! It’s like the saying ” A day late, and a dollar short, ” but thank God I’m never short on a dollar. I know he’s going to be doing a ski trip with Gator production, but I can’t make it. I have papers to do for school. I really just want to see him. Not in the weekend party mood. Let me know when he’s coming back to BB Kings night club in Time Square. I just want to also say that I love your music Musiq, and keep doing what your doing. God Bless and be safe.
