Florence and the Machine - exclusive interview for yoox.com

[BeautyKillax3]

Shes so quiet and adorable in interview :)

[TangerineJones1]

@BeautyKillax3 She is very quiet wen she does interviews, un less shes laughing

[neonninja427]

@KierantheKoala007 no i havent heard of them...I will look them up! if florence likes them they must be good!

[neonninja427]

@KierantheKoala007 yeah shes amzing! as a teenage girl she is truly inspirational to me to be who i want to be and not let anything stop me! Plus Im a violinist so she is motivational in my music! Shadows is really cool, i agree :D shes my second obsession

[KierantheKoala007]

@neonninja427 It's great to hear you play the violin and you have a dream. Have you heard of a band from Texas called Eisley? I was just wondering what you thought about them? Florence likes them too.

And I have to agree with @rwmagbag Florence is so cute in this video, I don'think people realise that she is a different person on stage, compared to off stage.

It's good to see her confidence growing and her smiling more lately, when performing live, Florence has a beautiful smile.

[rwmagbag]

SHE. IS. THE. CUTEST. THING. EVER.

i absolutely hate this music!

[neonninja427]

@Kieranthekoala007 oh...well I spend my days wishing I was British...so far the only things I love that come from my country (the US) are disney and lindsey Stirling - see her youtube channel: lindseystomp

[KierantheKoala007]

@neonninja427 Thanks, Lindsey Stirling is just amazing, her 'shadows' video is very clever, and she is one inspirational young lady and a positive role model as well.

[flabrigella]

she's such a lady! i love it!

[neonninja427]

@KierantheKoala007 SAS?

[KierantheKoala007]

@neonninja427 Special Air Service Regiment (SAS), a specialist unit of the Australian army, they have SAS in the British army as well.

[neonninja427]

@KierantheKoala007 who dares wins exactly nice... ivealso read that flo is bi...you?

[KierantheKoala007]

@neonninja427 That's the SAS motto, 'who dares wins' :) And yeah I know, people have taken it apon themselves to tell me all the details of flo's life, (true or false) there isn't much I don't know about, that does not stop me being friends with people. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to tell their own side of the story, there is always two sides to a story (fact & fiction :). I'm a ladies man that doesn't bat for the same team, but I respect peoples choices in life.

[neonninja427]

@KierantheKoala007 You know it :) She is really encouraging that everyone can be who they are and everyone has talent...whether you choose to pursue it or not. She originally went to art college but was discovered drunk in a bar singing to her future manager :D GO FLORENCE

[KierantheKoala007]

@neonninja427 Yeah I heard that story, 'who dares wins' :)

[neonninja427]

@KierantheKoala ....Its okay...i think we both misunderstood each other a little....plus if Hotlips was commenting on Florence's appearance as if it was bad....im with you on this one! he'd get it from me....as long as you werent insulting women (as im female...but only 13 so dont normally go around being snappy as some women can be)

[KierantheKoala007]

@neonninja427 I don't insult ladies but, I will put women in their place that insult other women like Hotlips did, which was just wrong! If you read my profile it does say I like "being a gentleman and sticking-up for the ladies", Florence is such a good role model for young women, by showing them you can just be yourself and follow your dreams - whatever they may be? And her songs relate to real life issues, appeal to girls & guys of all ages, I think she is great- so you do too?

[neonninja427]

@KierantheKoala007 and why you be hating on Hotlips4000isback??

[KierantheKoala007]

@neonninja427 Well Hotlips put Florence down in feedback - having a go at Florence's appearance?

I think I made a fair call in the feedback left by me - concerning Hotlips & women?

Yeah, it should be 'sugar & spice and all things nice' concerning girls but it can be alot nastier than that in real life, I have copped it in the past - just for being nice to other women?

And I wasn't hating on you, that was a nice way of putting things, Florence dresses with class- women hate that?

[neonninja427]

@KierantheKoala007 what? Florence suffers from sleep paralysis- I feel sorry for her- why you be hatin on me?

[KierantheKoala007]

@neonninja427 Well I owe you a apology then, sorry :(

People have a go at me using the feedback - I thought you were having a go at me?

I do spend a fair bit of time on Youtube, usually all-nighters and I am only human and sometimes I make mistakes, that's why I am apologising, sorry.

[neonninja427]

you poor thing- sleep paralysis really hurts you doesnt it?

[KierantheKoala007]

@neonninja427 Oh come on - why be hating?

[KierantheKoala007]

What I like most about Florence is her honesty, then you come across the small mindedness of the 'sad cases' out there, the joke is really on the 'sad cases' because as Florence + the Machine get more famous, the critics & haters out there look more stupid :(

[irisofyma]

her hair looks so awesome....why did she look like she did on the dick clark new years show?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WASH YOUR HAIR :\

[KierantheKoala007]

@irisofyma Why leave dribble as feedback?

[Hotlips4000isback]

Not a fan of her music, too much of a Kate Bush wannabe in my eyes....

[imyourgalfriday]

@Hotlips4000isback you shouldn't think of it that way... to me, it's more like Kate Bush has inspired a Genre, and Florence, Tori, Poe, Shivaree, Morcheeba, Portishead, and many more. These musicians have built upon what came before. They are not competing, they are honoring. There is room for more music, always.

[Hotlips4000isback]

@imyourgalfriday

Yeah, i hear what you are saying.(I LOVE Morcheeba! :)

If that is the case, and Florence is honoring other great artists before her then the same should go for the following;

Lady Gaga -Madonna

Beyonce- Tina Turner

JT, Usher,Neyo,Chris Brown, Bruno Mars etc etc -Michael Jackson (RIP)

[KierantheKoala007]

@Hotlips4000isback Sad case :(

[Hotlips4000isback]

@KierantheKoala007

Yep, i know YOU ARE a "Sad Case" !

[KierantheKoala007]

@Hotlips4000isback Congratulations?

For identifing yourself to the world as SAD CASE.

No points for being a 'parrot', reads like your cut up- do you need a band-aid?

Florence is such a sweetheart - that must really annoy you?

Here's an idea?

How about you get a life?

Could save a heap of grief in the long run, would have no problem in embarassing you - Hotlips?

DRIBBLER would be a more appropriate name for you :(

So, really when you think about it?

Who's the SAD CASE?

[Hotlips4000isback]

@KierantheKoala007

LMAO, i'm not insulted by you "Sad Case", you have made yourself look like a petty, brain dead fool though! :)

[KierantheKoala007]

@Hotlips4000isback Petty? I thought you had that 'down-pat' :(

I have a lot of respect for women but - what I hate about women?

Women can be the biggest bitches in relation to other women !

Point proven with your comment, that has been removed now.

Oh and a 'happy new year' to you too - being happy is something you have to work at?

'Cranky lines' can be a problem for women as they get older?

HOTLIPS ain't going to help you - when that happens?

[therarenilmar]

florence is lovely.  Shes socially anxious but its endearing to see. Her transformation from normal person to stage performer is like Jekyl and Hyde. Keep singing Florence, millions of people love you ! x

[themercury22]

Love her. Reminds me a little of Sophia Song by Sophe Lux & The Mystic

[jasonito23]

I can't remember but I think the first tape I bought was either Public Enemy Fear of a Black Planet or Ice Cube's Amerikkka's Most Wanted. I had to give my cousin the money for Cube because I wasn't old enough to buy music with explicit lyrics. LOL

[amyvintageful]

she speaks like blake lively...!

[lajefadelrodo]

Can somebody fix her microphone?

[cosasdemelissa22]

@lajefadelrodo the thing is that she don't speak loud..

[MissMillieMiller]

I Love florence however she seems so depressed and out of it!

[1304187]

SU voz es tan armoniosa D: y la música de fono la lleva :D I really love her <3

[SarahhEthereal]

She is my number one inspiration for my music! (have a listen, it's on my channel and you may hear the inspiration of Florence) I love her <3 <3 <3 Eeeeeeeeeeee

[pentipentipen]

even her dreams and nightmares are about words and music. this person is a goddess... literally...

[MsEtoile16]

Clarification time Florence is 24 and yes she does look older but is still beautiful I absolutely adore just listening to her music gives me an orgasm

[99Mazka]

She looks 40s,so suprise from indonesia i love her music esspecialy one that got metal element and iforgot the name of it.so hope you win MTV EMA of best ireland and british even,Adele is great ,just hope you win that

[MxSmack]

She is a great performer but yet seem so shy.

That is cool!

[driscs98]

quiet talker!!

[LadyGagaMonster4evr]

Florence Welch is my future wife, And I am a girl...

[lotusflower281]

Can't believe she was a 90s child, she looks older and more mature than 23. Not to say that 23 year olds are immature but she just looks and acts older.

[SuPeRNNeNa]

I love her and her voice.

[MEBAftershocker]

@SuPeRNNeNa Agreed

[theexplodingrose]

shes so classy. its cool.

[funnyfacerful]

omg shes a jeff buckley fan!!!!?? never knew that. so much more respect now...

[Mandalew3333]

what is the last writer she says for the question what is your favorite writers? she talks so soft i could hardly understand her.

[bassretro1993]

Wow.. she's really soft spoken... not how you'd picture her speaking, when listening to her songs... really like her stuff

[Johannahlee]

I love the word shlump. going to have to find a way to work that into a conversation soon

[junechipper]

She is my further WIFE

[Sonianv]

hahaha i do the same thing. record it on my phone. 

[ReklawRemix]

shes so gorgeous :)

[anairdevious]

What was that last writer she mentions at 1:20?

[HoochieCoocher]

@anairdevious Brett Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho, Less Than Zero, Lunar Park etc.

[mowibe]

love florence!

[EmmaWismyhero]
