Interviews

Our very own the_lex interviews Mary J Blige in the Guardian today. It's a really interesting, excellent interview I thought, better than the Ciara one even: Lex they should give you more interviews to do! (Alexis P did an interview with Los Campesinos! in the same section which basically seemed to be an extended - and quite knowing - demonstration of what a dick Mr Campesinos is: anyway Lex's is better.)

I find even the prospect of interviewing anybody an absolute HORROR so I am very admiring of anyone who can do it reasonably well (and Lex does it very well). I am less forgiving of reviews cos I think I'm good at them, but obviously they're easier to do, you don't have to try and shape a story in real time.

Do any of you lot have any memorable interviews (read as well as conducted!) What do you enjoy in an interview with an pop star?

Oh god, I hate the questions you get in Q&As. Someone in Edinburgh made the entire cast of Serenity SING THE THEME SONG and it was really awkward and cringey.
