That Grape Juice are pleased to confirm that we will be interviewing R&B songstress Tamia towards the end of next week. The Grammy nominated star is currently gearing up for the start of her North American tour, in support of her most recent release – the stellar ‘Between Friends’. Do you have any questions for Tamia? As usual, drop them in the ‘comments’ section. Remember, only appropriate questions will be considered. Thanks guys 🙂
HMM Never heard of her lol
hi tamia i have been a fan of yours since “so ino you”. i have all your albums and think you’re one of the best vocalist out there. my questions for you are what are your tour dates?also are you working on any new material?
do you ever plan to get another major record deal?
Please tell her that she is definitely more talented than most of the younger singers today (Beyonce, in particular), and ask her:
Does she feel pressure to be more raunchy and overtly sexual just to get the attention and fanbase she deserves(I noticed she hasn’t in the past,and I respect her so much for it)?
Tell her I love her and that it is a damn shame her albums don’t go at least triple platinum, with her voice and talent. Keep making that music and your time will come.
Ask her how it felt to have children after doctors told her the chance of having children was slim.
Do you plan to ever release a Live DVD, your fans have been dying for one?
When do you plan to start work on your next album?
How is life in Phoenix compared to Orlando?
Have you ever been to one of your own fansites (i.e. TamiaFans.net)?
Tell her that the owner of TamiaFans.net has the same birthday as your daughter Lael.
You said you a previous interview that you wanted to work with John Legend. Do You think you will have the opportunity to and if so are you looking to collaborate or just have him pen (write) a song for you?
Is it true that Grant is retiring this year? If he is do you guys plan to still live in Phoenix?
What were your new year’s resoultions?
Is it true that a full Christmas album will be released this year?
Who would you like to collaborate with in the future?
Who would you like to make a record for you?
What are your favorite songs our right now?
What do you think about the comparisons that are made between you and Ashanti?
Are you ever going to work with Babyface or JD again, because your previous records with them were amazing?
Do you ever get tired of singing “So Into You”?
who did you have more fun working with…eric benet,or fabolous???
are you voting for hilary or obama?? (lol)
What more do you want to do before you decide to retire from the music business??
aight thats all i got i tried to be different with the questions haha.i love her by the way
WHEN WILL YOU RELEASE ANOTHER LOVE BALLAD/DUET LIKE “CLOSE TO YOU” BY LATE GERALD LEVERT? AND DO YOU PLAN ON IN FUTURE COLLABORATION WITH MAYBE USHER, TANK, OR JAMIE FOXX?
Are You Feeling You Career Is Handled Right?
This is a simple question, but I hope it makes it.
Do you plan to release “The Way I love you”? I think that would be such a good single, and I love your vocals on it. Maybe a video too?
hi tamia i was wondering are you ever gona come to the UK and promote your music in the UK
are you working on a new record now? if so, what kind of direction are you taking this time around?
you have some amazing r&b songs. have you ever thought of venturing into other genres?
In your opinion, which song has your best vocals?
Lots of your performances are on YOUTUBE, do you ever watch them?
Your voice sounds better live than on studio, have you ever thought of doing a LIVE ALBUM?
Who are 5 female singers that inspired/influenced you?
I loved your take on Anita Baker’s “Been So Long”, you have an nice lower register, ever thought of doing a JAZZ ALBUM?
Have you ever considered going back to a major label? I think you could really benefit from it, its don’t have to be heavy promotion, but it help get you out there more. Angie Stone, Jill Scott etc do well. Sure they don’t get hits songs or platinum but I think it could improve your radio airplay. Please consider it.
Whats your favorite song right now?
Who’s your favorite artist of today’s generation?
Do you thik Quincy Jones mishandled your career for your debut album? What would you have done differently?
Of each of your 3 major label albums, if you had your pick, what would have been the lead single for them?
How come “Still” was never released? The next year Mariah Carey gets a song that sounds IDENTICAL and it becomes a huge hit? “Still” was a mega hit waiting to happen!
I like how you also sing other people’s songs in concert, would you consider doing “Best of my Love” (Emotions), “You Give Good Love” (Whitney), “Red Light Special” (TLC)?
What song would you love to remake?
I would like for her to elaborate on the question: “Do you ever feel that you don’t get enough recognition? Do you ever feel that you are underrated!
Tamia is clearly on the best vocalists ever in R&B Music of the last 15 years! All four of her albums are solid efforts and she is so underrated! I LOVE YOU TAMIA and keep cranking out those beautiful albums!
Ask her if she likes to tour and when we should expect all the tour dates.
Tamia:
1. What is the main thing that helped you get over your health issues of the past, and what advice would you give to someone who is facing similar health issues?
2. I loved your rendition of the Winans song “Tomorrow”. Have you ever thought of doing a gospel cd?
3. What is your favorite color?
4. Is your summer tour going to come to Chicago?
How come you didn’t submit Between Friends for the Grammys? It was a weak year in R&B you could have gotten a nomination for Female R&B Vocal for “Can’t Get Enough”.
Are you ever coming out with a new album? C’mon Tamia, give us more music to enjoy.
ANY PLANS TO RELEASE”TOO GRWON FOR THAT”
What is your favorite TV show?
What do you do to decompress?
What is Grant’s most annoying habit?
