Love that Jian gave her room to answer a question in Portuguese when she struggled with the English. Shows a good perspective on how broad his audience is or could be.

thank you very much Qtv for having Luisa Maita on your program! i was fortunate enough to see her and her band perform live a few months ago in Chicago! it was something really special to see and hear such a talented up-and-coming artist that is bound to do great things in the music world! i really liked this interview, thanks again!

It was a so nice interview. But the brazilian singer was a little bit nervous, so she couldn't express herself better. Even when she spoke in brazilian portuguese.

@zmno11 eu particularmente não to pedindo fluência (se você prestar atenção o problema dela não é fluência), to dizendo que é deprimente uma pessoa se dispor a ir num país anglofônico levando músicas "supostamente" compostas por ela em inglês e ser incapaz de formar uma única frase coesa na língua. desculpa, mas colonizado aqui é você... colonizado aqui é ela, que usando a própria língua é até boa... pra que usar o inglês? ô gente crítica rasa.

@ecsuecsu deprimente é querer que um brasileiro ou qualquer estrangeiro seja fluente em inglês e ainda mais sinta vergonha se não for 'perfeito' ... veja se qualquer estrangeiro chega aqui no Brasil e consegue falar duas palavras em português. Ô colonizado.

isso é deprimente. if you don't know the language, you DON'T use it. i'm ashamed of being a brazilian right now.

@mfpleite Thank you for the translation and for your thoughtfulness

[mfpleite]

I'm portuguese so here is a translation for the aswer given in portuguese:

Luisa Maita:

"What I think is that... I enjoy a lot to be brazilian. So I belive a lot in my own culture and in our own way of doing things.

We had now a brazilian president (Lula da Silva) that has done the government that he has. (prosperous and social concerned)

So for me... I belive a lot in my own people... I think that's what I have to tell"

I hope this to be helpful. Thanks for the show!

I love how Jian has the name of songs on his screen and how the name is pronounced eheh
