Annie Lennox talks at the 2008 American Music Awards

[gofftershnit]

I Agree! Annie makes me fell honored as well as proud to be british. I come from a long line of English, Irish, Scottish, as well as Welsh ancestors; and I am proud of all of them. She is a better soul than the media seams to think that she is. I revere her, and I love her music! (Hmmmm.....I wonder if were related.)

[gerritsenfan]

I´m her proudest Peep! I´ve got her portrait as a tattoo on my calf and i´m happy. She´s so amazing. I love her voice.

So, follow Annie on SING...please :))

How can one woman so great ?? She´s the best amd may god pless her ´!!

[toddg64]

@gerritsenfan can you post a photo?

[soulshaker51]

sad. Love her music but she doesn't know what is really going on here.

[electrotech3000]

She does not need to explain herself. That just shows what kind of caring person she is. She is so kind to talk about obama and her singing being black person singing and she is white. She sings from the heart. That's why I like her from begining. How rude to question that. I can say many things and obama is white----------------------. AM I RUDE

[eeli1]

I just love her.

[wildnites558]

And then along comes Annie Lennox to insinuate that the Republican Party is racist because it's all or mostly white. I suspect she is not hip to American partisan politics and how the media has assisted the Democrat party for decades in insuring that the black vote goes overwhelmingly for Democrats. Also I hear Lennox often talk of feminism and the power of women in politics. I notice that she conveniently "forgot" to mention all of the GOP women who hold offices throughout America.

[wildnites558]

The only black conservative/Republican that the media allowed to be seen by the public in the last 5 years was Alan Keyes, who the media basically laughed off as "fringe". Keyes is a black intellect with impeccable credentials but because he happened to be Republican he was fair game for the leftist media who believe American blacks should be all of one political opinion.

[wildnites558]

Republican blacks are being locked out of the media because the media believes the Democrat party has a tenuous control over black voters and they are often too apprehensive about putting a black conservative or Republicans in the limelight because other blacks might get to see that there are other political choices. Funny, that a media that allegedly works so hard for the rights of minorities feel perfectly fine to shut out "other" blacks that don't fit the script.

[wildnites558]

Bright woman, Unfortunately has no rational concept of American politics. I am a black Republican and many of us are shunned by the American media or slammed by our own brothers and sisters. Being a black Republican in American is like what it was to be black down south during 'Jim Crow'. The Leftist media/intelligencia can't handle black Republicans because it doesn't fit their political playbook. Lennox seems to think that blacks are being kept out of the GOP by white people - she is wrong.

[BrittanyJackson19]

Haha I love when she swears at 1:29 and everyone laughs :P

[GREEDYMADONNA]

Nice girl, nice facelift.

[martypower]

Annie, you make me SO proud and unashamed to be hiv positive. I love you forever!!!

[ichigatsujohn]

Thanks for this - Annie's an artist who's not afraid to put herself on the line and NOT for her own gain - I love the fact that she's never lost her accent :-) Scottish women are such amazing singers!

[ami7mina]

I love you Annie! I enjoyed watching your interview.

You are such a down to earth person and I love you for that.

Funny comments you said made me smile!

You're a real person and always will be :)

[kaypax0007]

a scottish legend, who hates unfairness, shame on the corporate fatcats, come the revolution.

[jademm]

Some sister in the press corps was getting blessed by Annie's words towards the end of this video! Amen, hallelujah, go on and preach it, girl!! LOL!!!

Thank you Annie for...being you.

[adamskiyo]

Makes me proud to be British

[henricodasvezia]

Makes me wish I was British :)

[henricodasvezia]

Grr now I'm angry with youtube. I click on a reply link a few pages back and my reply ends up on page one making my reply make no sense at all.

[gammerstang2009]

jplumads,

Why don't you just nasty away? I am tired of your negativity. Annie is BELOVED, you fool. Do you understand what that means? Don't you know that's something you will never obtain in your grief-based lifetime? Could that be why you are spewing your venom at her...because you are jealous of this magnificent woman? You are a sad, sad, little person. Go away. No one cares what you think...no one with a brain.

[jplumads]

You pathetic little coward. Look at you talk big and you didn't even reply to me so I knew about it. You pathetic groupie, I couldn't give a damn what you're tired of. I'm not jealous of a race-baiting bigoted celebrity who can carry a tune as her only reason for being able to spew her venom at other human beings. e a damn about what you're tired of. Next time you want to sound like a big person shouting others down and insultng them, reply to me so I'll know.

[gammerstang2009]

Annie, my Love. Most Republicans in the USA are white...the majority are...but, not all. I love you for your desire to right the wrongs and to level the playing field. I wish you were a US citizen. I could see you out there giving 'em hell. ;)

[jplumads]

Hundreds of shoes were thrown at the gates of Downing Street during the march there, led by singer Annie Lennox, with demonstrators chanting "Shame on you, have my shoe" and "Brown terrorist".

What a nut she is and trying to start a race war. Why didn't you cry for the people of Sderot Israel, Annie?

[tathunen]

You obviously don't know anything about Annie Lennox. Did you even listen to what she said? She is trying to start the OPPOSITE of a race war.

No matter how kind, evolved, and tolerant people can be there will always be those who distort and deliberately misinterpret their words and actions to make themselves sound intelligent.

[jplumads]

Yes, i heard the bitch insult Republicans for being all white. Now how is that the Republicans' fault and you know exactly what she's saying.  She also attended a rally against Israel where they chanted slogans about "brown people". This lady is a demonizer.

[LeonalaLoveSnape]

Annie you are so cute~

[gammerstang2009]

PS

I would nail this "ancient cracked artifice" in a second....as if I could get near her.  Don't put yourself down, Annie. You are the BEST and all of the best people know it. Just know this.

[gammerstang2009]

She is just so DAMNED sexy,smart,caring,funny,inform­ed,down-to-earth,human,compass­ionate,beautiful,insightful,an­d blessed...even though she HAS lost her anonymity.. I don't know what else I could say to express my intense feeling for this woman... She is just the antithesis of "celebrity" and we all love her for staying grounded.

[zallennox]

no-no, people... She's just 54 years old :)

and She's AMAZING.

[EDGMurillo]

I love Annie Lennox songs, she is the best.

[lespaul260]

She,s 36 to me.

[jplumads]

Where's your nonWhite prime minister, you flaming hypocrite?

[ridgeracer77]

Has she gained weight?

[musicbeingmusic]

She's almost 56 dude...

[ridgeracer77]

She's always been so skinny, I'd be happy if she gained a little weight. And she's almost 55.

[gammerstang2009]

Most overweight people are happy if others gain a "little" weight. Annie is perfect.

[cdcotr]

fascinating woman!

[pantex1928]

Annie sings and speaks from the heart!

[AlbaOpium]

inspiring, amazing, true DIVA!

[ncrane29]

LOVE HER! I also love the woman in the background responding to Annie's anger over racial injustice... "Go on now, Annie!"

[trishajj]

What a ignorant and stupid statement;  "republicans are all white". This is absurd for many reasons.

[izvestia03]

it was a funny statement but i am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt --she is speaking off the cuff and i think its a difficult thing to do--the general gist of her comment is a sound one--and if i was a betting man she probably didn't quite MEAN how that sounded:)

my humble opinion.

[jplumads]

She's a typical liberal racist. She's saying Republicans are racist for being Republicans. We can't have our own political opinion without bitches like Annie Lenox demonizing us. What a stupid bitch.

[Jigs1girl]

No, everyone knows that Republicans are just ignorant for being Republican. Except for the Republicans who are not aware, because they are ignorant, of course!

[jplumads]

And you're a hateful bigot just like Annie. And I bet you think you're 'enlightened' too.

[dagarrat]

Actually, when's the last time you saw a Black Republican congressman?  We are regressing.

And for Annie to deliver that little nugget in her classic brogue during a visit here ... it's kinda like having a friendly neighbor come across the street and knock on your door to tell you that your house is on fire *LOL!*

[Steadno]

Classic cut!
