[delanoca]

[cheekychick122]

Love the vid Annie! I would just ask to ask: Do you enjoy cooking and if so, what is your favourite thing to cook? I know its a bit random, but i was just interested lol. Alice, North Wales x

[Mercury2Venus]

Annie, It's so nice to see you communicating with your fans/peeps! ^_^ You made your peeps feel so privileged. I've just become your fan recently. Wish I could know you sooner.

Greeings from Thailand with much love:-)

[morganisdiva]

what does annie lennox think about the drag queens that impersonate her ?? has the illusions gotten better over the years ?

[tall32guy]

Annie: hopefully this is a question that will be answered in the future (don't we ALL hope that who are posting these?! LOL). The question is: What part did you have in the writing of "Julia", or was it pretty much all Dave? Where do you place it in terms of all-time fave songs you've done either solo OR with Dave?

[3877878]

Will you marry me?

[Birdoflighttv]

How much or many kudos can I give to you.. On this video interview Annie?! Amazed...Nice inclusion of history too...preferences for pets and men, lol. x

[AdamSwainston0]

'switch it off'... aww i love you annie ;)

[vereva2003]

And another question: I just discovered " Hush, hush, hush" and I was thrilled....but I don't know anything about this song! What's its story?

[vereva2003]

I'm sure that I am your biggest fan in the Eastern Europe, and I am proud to be so since " sweet dreems"...My hottest wish is to see you on stage, is this possible one day?

[eurythmics4ever]

I also am from Eastern Europe (Romania) but at least I can be the youngest fan at 15.

[delanoca]

I can be the second youngest fan at 23...lol.

[Soesii]

@delanoca: nope, Im 18 and also a fan :P

[vereva2003]

[slendersail]

Romania here too. I love The Lord Of The Rings and the cover picture for Into The West.

[eurythmics4ever]

Nice to find Romanian fans of Annie Lennox. Also you are a Queen fan, great!!!

[MountainpeakProduced]

Hello Annie,

Thanks for all the great inspiration. I am getting more anxious to record my music. Your unigue style makes me feel good. It has effected me like that since 1977 or so. Keep up the wonderful originally crafted improvisation. My personal best is falling on deaf ears. I would like for you to produce one of my songs. or help me inform someone that can help me produce it the way I am at the moment live improve. I tend to freely disconbobulate a melody, friends call it abstract

[lollypop3laura]

Has Annie bought a new music album out? Because i will buy it if so! Please can some one let me know please =D

Thank you

[annie4ever1]

If only more people in this world had this lady's vision and insight in making just a slight impact on world issues and current events, maybe just maybe we could all reach out and make a difference in breaking down the barriers that safely guard our selfishness.

[vereva2003]

How can anyone let this mean and ugly comment to be posted here?

I am really angry.

[rachelishot0]

Nice way to voice your anger. You are doing a damned fine job. Perhaps you'd like to make a sign too.

Or you could take by example, if you actually watch the video, and DO SOMETHING about it.

[bunchbebe]

Keep singing annie, i love your gift witch is your voice & videos. such great talent.

[Cicilo1983]

It's amazing that you took the time to post this video and to keep contact with your fans in such a personal way. Thanks for being so inspiring after all these years !

[GoldElement18]

haha,

Your dangerous addiction made me laugh, cause I have the same one.

Keep up the good work Annie.

<3 : )

[tall32guy]

Yeah me too. LOL It stinks....kindof. LOL!

[CARMSFAV]

Annie, dear,Annie.... How special do you make your fans or peeps feel, taking time out of your busy schedule to speak with us? I don't know if the word cool, is still cool but sister, you are the coolest you are by far...never stop inspiring us

[pazcecipaz]

you're the best.........namaste

[benzobean]

What are the names of your three backing singers at the moment? I'd love to know, They're fab. Love the band.

[1961WF2909]

I have just one more question for you, do you read all your emails ; ) ?

I realy like the videoblogs of you!

[cheekychick122]

Love the bit about the goldfish. so funny!! haha

[jenniewb]

My favorite artist full stop. Everything she sings about I can connect with...I grew up to her music (born '81) and am still now taken aback at how much what she is and what she sings about reflects how I feel. I only wish I had the same beauty and conviction she does to use her life to benefit others the way she does.

[acid2d]

annie, i love you so much.

i grew up with your voice. :D

[xo1hrt4celineox]

this concept is brillant!! i always want to get to know artisits I like, not just in scrpited messages, or tv interviews where they're pressured to look good. thanks for taking the time to just talk to us fans, can't wait to hear more!!

[All4Seasons]

"ma peeps are ma pets,ok?"

hahaha I LOVE your sense of humour, Annie!

jen

[ILUV74]

She is the female bono,but i like you as you ,nicework ,keepcool.

[kyle35nyc]

What's the back story to No Fear, No Hate, No Broken Hearts? I love that song...

[tenpointfourpointsix]

LOVE you so much Annie. Thank you! Peace Out! ♥ xx

[greatlife24]

Thank you Annie.I did have good time and a lot of thoughts...You are GREAT ARTIST,Love@Peace.

[afribear]

I am really looking forward to Annie's responses to the posted video comments. :)

[oceancoloursubsea]

Hi Annie, do you have any plans to perform a concert in Aberdeen? It's one of my life's ambitions to see you in concert and what with Aberdeen being your hometown and mine............??

[MathewRusso]

What do you think of Grace Jones and her latest album "Hurricane," and would you ever consider asking her perform directly with you in a duet on a future album or project of yours?

[Joonsharon]

Greetings Annie,

Are there any songs that you have written, which have never seen the light of day and if so, would you ever consider recording them now?

Thank you for all of the brilliant music you have given us!

Cheers, June.

[gillybean6664]

Hello Annie

Knowing that you are passionate about what happens in our world-if you where primeminister for four years what would your priority be and how would you go about it ? Regards Gill

[felixn65]

Dear Annie: What's the most difficult factor in going on stage for a live performance?

[sashanj848]

you such a great person i love the way you film your videos. with such passion and love you really get into it. and i can as if it were me in your place when you sing xoxo. plz comment back

[ThinkingPositive]

This is great fun! I like some of the follow-up questions and video replies being posted too. Heres a question from me.

What is your project "The Circle" and who is involved?

Thanks :)

[gadreel23]

Ms. Lennox: Have you seen "Repo! The Genetic Opera" yet? It seems that it would be something right up your alley! :) If you HAVE seen it, what are your thoughts and opinions on it? :)

[Saldana1]

Brilliant idea and great fun to watch!

[susiechild003]

Thank you for offering to answer questions - is a brilliant idea and very entertaining!

Is there a particular part of London that you love or which has fond memories for you?

Would you and Dave consider doing a gig playing each song from one or two whole albums (such as Savage or Sweet Dreams)?

What is your favourite kind of weather?

[gammerstang2009]

Why is it so hard for you to take a creative question about your lifestyle choices?

[lollypop3laura]

You are such a kind and caring person. Good luck with your project. :)

[SimoneBerlin1987]

Annie is wonderful

[oliviafan1]

I hope you do another dance album like Little Bird again. Great dance songs by you are the best.

[warwickharris]

yeah - AMAZING to dance to Little Bird!i set it as my cell phone ring once so i'd look forward to taking calls - i hate my phone ringing when i'm busy painting etc, but didn't leave it on the phone for too long - i didn't wanna 'kill' the song :) awesome song, aaaaaah memories on the dance floor... Missionany Man has the 'same effect' making me wanna dance! itz cos annie is all about SOUL... no one knows how to move n shake/dance better than those who produce and listen to 'soul' music :)

[bluelightalarm]

Great video, I wish more artists would take the time to do things like this for their fans.

One thing I would like to know is do you have any plans to perform or tour in the UK in the near future? I heard that you toured the US with the last album and was disappointed that there was no UK tour.

Thank you

[1961WF2909]

Thank you Annie for answering these questions,i realy love all the things you do. I have only just one more question, if i may, where did you buy that lovely blouse? It reminds me of my garden in spring and summer.

Keep up the good work that you do!

[glasgow1scotland]

THANK YOU ANNIE! WE LOVE YOU!

PEACE

XX

[warwickharris]

THE LENNOX! yes THE TAMING OF THE LENNOX!

annie, you just 'keep doing it'... oh yes, as you said the alphabet letters, making words, sentences etc is fascinating. this is THE BEST video on youtube! nope, i'm not a nutter worshiping you ( SORRY boo hoo LOL :) all i can say is KEEP DOING IT... i believe God made some to be angels :-)

your sense of humor when interviewed, is similar to laurie anderson [laurie being an activist too!] which i find totally fascinating!

ciao

rick, from KZN south africa

[mandana63]

I think you speak french better than I speak english, so :

Annie, est-ce qu'on aura bientôt le bonheur de vous retrouver sur une scène parisienne ?

(Je vous imagine à l'Olympia... Un rêve ...)

Une tournée européenne est-elle prévue ?

Ce serait merveilleux !

We miss you.

Many thanks ;-)

[FmBm2]

Ooh I love your shirt! and your voice

*fangirls*

[lespaul260]

Yah...

[PROJECTOAZULjjgg]

Dear Annie! I am an artist from Portugal,I have a page in my space PROJECTO AZUL, I wanted to sign the protest about war in Gaza,but they ignored me!Why this selection only for English and american prominents?

[addisonblue]

Hamas rejected the cease-fire and has been sending missiles into Israel for months previous to the war in Gaza. What would your country do if a terrorist group in Spain started sending rockets into Portugal? I doubt Portugal would ignore it or not strike back. War is awful and innocent people die, but groups like Hamas are poison on our planet and have to be stopped. Hamas does not want Israel to survive and Iran would love Israel to be wiped out. It is Hamas that needs to be wiped out.

[PROJECTOAZULjjgg]

Dear addisonblue: That´s your point of wiew, I respect it. My protest goes on against WAR, I am not against any part of it in separate, I am against any kind of WAR, no matter where it is, and for what. I am not a politician, I am an Artist, just as Annie is to.

[robtjonz]

Is there a musician that you have not yet recorded or performed with who you would really like to do so?

[Ceilidh444]

This is AWESOME! Thanks for being so candid with your answers!

Best!!

[TIMMYLYNN63]

ANNIE,

This is great. Thanks for making me smile so much and you are absolutely right..'it is much better than the other ticket'

peace and love to you

[thompson32154]

This is great! Come to Memphis and record with STAX or SUN musicians. We love you!

[starbucksbear]

Great video! I love just listening to her speaking voice... Love it!

[swingeranne]

Annie.. I just absolutely love you!

[themuse55555]

haaaaaaaa "better cut there!"

[bonecakabukidoll]

annie: all the best!!

one day speak with you!

you are power singer!

thank you very much

welcome to bsas, argentina

[Genapeep]

Have you ever considered adopting the SA children you film?  Who is taking care of Avelilie and making sure her health doesn't regress?

[gammerstang2009]

Well, you DID ask.

If you were on a desert island alone with just one other person, a really attractive single lesbian woman (you determine what "attractive" means to you and that's what she is), and the two of you are never not EVER going to be rescued. This woman has SUCH a crush on you and is really, really ready to act on it. Would you go gay in this situation?

[Genapeep]

Your question is rude and inappropriate.

[gammerstang2009]

Let's have a look at that room you are filming in, Love.

[meghanchavalier]

What is the song "The Gift" about?

[Sarlota]

About me ofcourse:-) Well sorry, that was just a joke.

[nowinriccarton]

Wow this is like a new album but without the music! Thanks Annie - and well done for doing something positive and constructive with your celebrity; The SING campaign is a huge success and much healthier for you than singing about the downside of love - us single blondies are better off without partners anyway! Now COME TO NEW ZEALAND!

[chtichat]

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!

[thumper4foxy23]

Here's a question for you Annie: If you could describe yourself in 3 words, what would they be?????

[ThinkingPositive]

Love it. Love it. Love it!

[lydiageorge]

Thank you so much Annie

Gracias!!

[carlsonsniwt]

When you write music with Dave is there a method to the name order listed on the albums (i.e. stewart/lennox, lennox/stewart)? Is first position lyricist and second musician or vice-versa or is there no method? I have always wondered while looking at the cd sleeves, "Are these Annie's lyrics or Dave's or both?!"

[Sumerket]

Thanks Annie,

I've been a fan over here in California since I was seventeen and I had my vinyl copy of In the Garden. I used to play that record in my bedroom while burning incense...You deeply inspired my teenage years. And now you continue to inspire in my older adult years with your website, your activism for worthy causes, all your outreach via the internet--love it all! Thanks!

[gravel1916]

What a Lady!

[tigersaregreat99]

You are a Shining Light in this world Annie

Lennox. Kudos to you, Sammy, Tara and whoever else worked on this video. I just had a cup of

tea with Annie Lennox.

[rkc1]

my lady!

you are awe inspiring!!!

thank you for touching on memories around songs that you wrote. i'd truly love to hear more... i'm curious to know when 'stay by me' came to how... when 'pavement cracks' solidified...? additionally i've always felt Savage was Eurythimcs most accomplished work... how did the character for the album come to you? did you consider other looks before settling on her or was she it from the beginning?... the the housewife personality split?... all quite brilliant.

[VesnaH2o]

Once again I thank you for sharing and let us be part of your life! I keep on dreaming that you once day visit Chile and we can enjoy a concert! TAKE CARE!! and thanks for be part of my life!

Greetings

Vesna

[no2late4compassion]

This is soooo neat!! : ) I mean- for you to make the time to further connect with "us peeps" is beyond description. SO. I just wanna be "Happy Sparkle ThoughtSING" gushy sentiments... like... kumquats & strawberries! *LOL*

[Mithranoir]

I've a question, will you make another song with the queen of pop Madonna which sing with you and a lot of other feminine artists in "Sing" ?

[lespaul260]

Sing and South Africa...Inspiration Road.

[mandana63]

Annie, it's wonderful to "meet" you, regulary on the web ! It's like going to "un rendez-vous".

Thank you Annie for being real and sharing your personal thoughts with us. You inspire a lot of people to be more aware of the problems in the world.
