As many of you know, That Grape Juice caught up with R&B singer Omarion here in London last week. The former B2K front-man, who was in town for a string of live dates, spoke candidly with us about many a topic including Raz-B’s recent abuse allegations, the poor performance of his last LP ‘Ollusion’, his forthcoming album, the real reason B2K disbanded, his friendship with Bow Wow, and much more.
True to form, That Grape Juice asks the questions you really want answers to. Enjoy.

omarion is handsome. he looks like marvin gaye i think. i know that’s random.
i think he should have joined young money. that record got no promotion. i heard one single that was good but it didnt get any exposure.
i’m still mad that he blocked me for talking shit about him so forget that nicca. lol

Stop making excuses your CD was average at best! Okay, blah, blah, you need someone in the game of some significance to prop you up because after all these years ” in the game” you’re still not established!
OH LAWD, not another one…….”the songs are taylor made for me”……LOL!
Wait did he just mention Michael? Mike’s so called worse moment was a sucess this girl will never know! Some ppl are truly entertaining!
P.S. I still wonder what happened between all those little boys and Chris Stokes?

I know its easy to bash this guy, but he seems like a nice person. Overall I always thought he kept a very positive attitude. Usher, Janet and Beyonce were the right picks! Well done O! Shame on you Sam, for trying to get him to throw shade at “Janet today”. Janet’s still Janet… Rhythm Nation just shuts down the haters!!! Love it. You still have to give Cici credit though (I think she’s really talented).

I have to apologize to O because I always figured he was arrogant. After watching this interview, I see that he’s the total opposite of what I thought. He was very nice and sincere when talking to Sam.
SN: I laughed my asz off at the “Beyonce vs Rihanna” question. He couldn’t finish drinking his water good before he said the answer. Lol!

I did notice how he tensed up when talking about B2k. He seems like a cool guy but Chris Stokes really brainwashed him

Of course, Beyonce can out sing any female singer out, right now. Her vocal technique is near flawless. She has a nice even blend, beautiful vibrato, has a strong and round head voice and her voice is so FU***** connected. She can move seamlessly through her registers, unlike others.
This was a good interview, I still want to bang Omarion. Lol notice how he called Bow Wow an “interesting friend”.

“Beyonce can really out sing a lot of girls that are in the industry right now that are CONSIDERED singers.”
STAN OUT OMARION STAN OUT
And when he said singers I don’t think he was talking about RIHANNA cuz she is not considered a SINGER.
I think he was talking more of the Alicia’s Keys and Christina Aguilara’s.

He is talented, but I not sure if he’s had good advice afar has his career goes he just needs the right ppl to put him on the right track. there is something there. And he sounds like Smokey Robinson. (Google him) he is well spoken even though he said “You know” allot .
But I was impressed with him.

O was real mad with the B2K & Raz B issues, but i think it was really great how he re-adjusted his anger and got on with the interview and opened back up and kept smiling.
Be interesting to her O’s tone on a funky track actually.
SAM these Janet vs CiCi & Bee vs RiRi quick fire questions need to change man.
It’s not fair on Ciara cus at the end of the day Janet was huge and really paved the way for one’s like Cici so no matter who it is (Brit, Ciara, J-lo, Paula Abdul etc..) Janet wins.
As for Bee vs Ri is that even a contest really? It’s like asking what is best for your cup of tea, sugar or salt.
Bey’s tone might not be everyones favorite but technically her singing precision is class.
Ri has an ok tone, with hit songs here and there BUT especially live lacks technical finese as a singer.
Both done very well for themselves in charts BUT still no comparison.
Omarion just be happy with what you do by 30 and keep pushing yourself in a positive way.

Omarion is cool
& I gotta say Sam really has GAME!!
How else would he be able to get so many celebs to do interviews for this moderately successful Blog NO MATTER THE CURRENT STATUS/CALIBER They were HOT at one point & It is worth a reasonable amount of Promo for certain artist like Ciara.
Im still waiting for Sam to Score a BIG ARTIST though like maybe Mariah, Alicia, or Bey.
Anyway, Im glad he acknowledged Bey’s Vocal Abilities, Shes the most UNDERRATED Vocalist Ever in my book, She can blow 10Xs better than most PPL think. PPL tend to think shes only on Lauren Hill or Monica’s LVL when shes 10Xs Better. & As I always say: Beyonce >>> StrainTina, Leona & Jennifer Hudson.
& Him picking Drake over Bow Wow, HMMM, IDK about this one. Both are very BLAND Generic Rappers but Id Pick Bow Wow cause atleast he Actually RAPS & not Autotunes.

Great interview. Omarion seems really likeable. It doesn’t hurt that he’s kinda cute. I’ve always like Omarion but he had started to get on my bad side recently especially after that collaboration album with Bow Wow. His first album was a really good album but he extremely downgraded when he did that corny music with Bow Wow. And I kinda think songs like “O” and “IceBox” are his peak musically. But I did love that “Speeding” song. I hope he releases some music in the lane of “O” and “IceBox” or even “Speeding” this go round.

he had some good point about what are male solo sing about these dayz, he saying he wants to make a funky house/ tribal house album sound really good because the fact he can dance would add a good element to the scene. I’ve not seen allot US artist try & make a funky house song apart from rihanna . I could see him doing this

That was an awesome interview. From the little clip regarding raz b I thought he was an idiot but he seems to be a very intelligent and grounded young man. I wish him much success. Even though I believe what Raz B says is true. His best bet is to seperate himself from the whole Chris Stokes/Marques Houston scandal and stop trying to defend them.
