Interviewed.

Graycap23 said:

We don't wanna hear her talk.
Sing for us first!

he licks her....

why not telling the source? (www.drfunkenberry.com)

Graycap23 said:

Cool. Would have been nice if she sang so we could get to hear what she sounds like singing live. But I guess in due time.

will Prince be there?

CHRISLUV92 said:

Lol.....Prince is doing his own interview on Tavis.

Looking 4ward 2 it.

Graycap23 said:

Oh, ok, I thought he was bumped due to the Bria interview.

wildgoldenhoney said:

I have a feeling that they will be on the same show. I wish Bria was doing more to promote herself. Her cd is worthy of a good promotion. She should be on Dancing With the Stars, Ellen, and any other show based out of LA.

daPrettyman said:

That would almost make too much sense. Fine if Prince isn't interested in doing promotion for his own albums and wants to make records with pretty young girls singing the vocals, but then why not let them promote the hell out of THEIR records? Get the big music business machine behind THEM? Make a gazillion dollars writing and producing big hits for young hotties while getting all self-indulgent with his own stuff.

Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

keywhiz said:

It definitely would.

It makes me upset that she's not promoting such a good album. Sure, people say it's horrible, trash, etc., but to me, the project is one of the best "smooth jazz", r&b female albums I've bought this year.

daPrettyman said:

How many of those have you bought this year?

I must be out of the loop, cause I have no idea who Tavis Smiley is, cute name tho

keywhiz said:

I've bought about 6 or 8 "smooth jazz" cds in the last 12 months.

He's an American author, journalist, political commentator, and talk show host.

Close2u said:

He's many things, and good at them but he also has a chip on his shoulder and has for years.

ernestsewell said:

Tavis with a chip on his shouler....say it ain't so.

Y'all are funny with the "why doesn't he let Bria promote her album" Until we hear her sing live, we'll know exactly why. To paraphrase that famous saying: "better to let folks THINK you can't sing... than open up your mouth and remove any doubt."

I wonder if they will discuss how her album has been trashed in EVERY review

Graycap23 said:

Is he? I am confused. So will Prince be on Tavis later this month as originally reported?

I was looking forward to seeing Prince do a real interview again. I have always enjoyed the candor and vibe of his interviews with Tavis. They respect each other and Tavis does his homework beforehand so the interviews are very insightful. I know he won't be asking dumb stuff like the mainstream interviewers do. I hoped to see Prince talk about the issues with Youtube and the Internet, his site, his music/the Lotusflow3r project, politics, "the state of the Black union," etc.

I surely hope this isn't another missed opportunity.
