ENTREVISTA A WILL.I.AM, DE BLACK EYED PEAS

"Cierro la cortina y me quedo en esta caja, sólo con mi computadora sin saber qué hora es, eso me permite ser creativo", explica mientras, con el control remoto, cierra herméticamente la ventana. "Tengo todo arreglado como para conectarme con el estudio y grabar desde Londres o México o donde sea", se agranda.
Aunque diseña las ropas de los hombres del grupo ("es que con Apl.de.Ap. y Taboo fuimos al secundario juntos"), el diseñador recibido en el Fashion Institute de Los Angeles se presenta de entrecasa: sombrero bordeau, jeans y chaleco negro sobre remera blanca. Will.I.Am tiene disco nuevo (Songs About Girls), y el mundo lo conocerá el 25 de setiembre, justo cuando él estará con su grupo en el Pepsi Music.
-¿Les gustó la primera visita a Buenos Aires, en noviembre del 2006?
-Estoy muy excitado con la idea de volver. Recuerdo que había muchos teens en las primeras filas, me caen re bien, yo fui adolescente alguna vez. Esta vez vamos por dos días, ojalá conozcamos más el país.
-¿Cómo será esta vez el show?
-Voy a presentar un par de temas de mi álbum solista y Fergie va a hacer por lo menos 4 temas del suyo y después haremos canciones de BEP. Lo importante es divertirse y pasar un buen rato.
Mientras habla, panea por los archivos musicales de su computadora y de paso exhibe su trabajo como productor. "Acá tengo temas que quedaron afuera del primer disco de Fergie, creo que haremos otro para Navidad; estos los hice para Mariah (Carey); me encantó éste que grabamos con Whitney (Houston). Estos son los del álbum de Taboo; estos van de cajón en el próximo álbum de BEP (saldrá a fines del 2008) y acá están los de Michael Jackson: tres terminados, cuatro en marcha".
-¿Timbaland dijo que se moría por producir a Jackson pero él te eligió a vos. ¿Cómo fue?
-Me llamó por teléfono. Yo le decia, come on, no jodan'. Y él con su vocecita (lo imita) decía no, en serio, soy Michael Jackson'. Grabamos en Irlanda y en Las Vegas. Quiero que sea un disco para que baile la gente, con buenas melodías y que se escuche muy limpio. Ese es mi aporte.
-Hablás del nuevo disco solista de Fergie. ¿La podrán retener en el grupo?
-Ojalá. Creo que sí, porque BEP tiene una dinámica muy especial, todos podemos ser solistas y a la vez seguir con el grupo. Pero ya éramos BEP antes de que ella llegara. Si no podemos, igual vamos a seguir sacando discos.
-Decís que "Songs About Girls" es autobiográfico. ¿Qué te llevó a hacerlo?
-Empecé a escribir canciones y todas me salieron personales. Necesitaba hacer catarsis. Tuve una relación muy larga, desde los 20 a los 27, que terminó muy mal. Y la última también. Necesito sacarme sentimientos de encima para seguir creciendo. Todos en algún momento tuvimos el corazón roto. Sólo que yo decidí hacer un disco para curar el mío.
PRESS CONFERENCE ON ‘WORLD PEACE TOUR 4 CHILDREN’

The “World Peace Tour 4 Children” is the brainchild of Wolfgang Hildebrandt, a well-known German vocalist and activist, and Lavika Bhagat Singh, Chief Operating Officer of Charity Network Inc., a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., which campaigns against trafficking in children.
“Children are the future, and when children have no future, nobody has a future,” said Mr. Hildebrandt, at a press conference sponsored by the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations.
“We will start (the Tour) with the first concert on April 22, the official Earth Day, in Namibia,” he said. “We will go after this to South Africa. We will go to India, to South Korea, to Tokyo -- everywhere… We really want to be a light in the darkness.”
Joining the Tour would be Kool and the Gang, Peabo Bryson (who sang with Celine Dion on the soundtrack of Beauty and the Beast), Andrea Bocelli, Carlos Santana, Quincy Jones and Whitney Houston, said Mr. Hildebrant, adding that former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev would act as master of ceremonies. The actor Richard Gere would also participate.
Also at today’s press conference was Promod Sharma, a successful information technology entrepreneur, philanthropist, and founder of Charity Network, who explained that proceeds would go to both Charity Network and local organizations that reached out to disadvantaged children. “We want to have local artists, local governments, become part of the whole movement.” Funds raised in one area would be spent in that same area, “to help those kids in that area”. The Tour would be a long-term venture, he said, adding, “We want to be able to make sure we come through with this and that it stays with us for a long time.”
Namibia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Kaire Munionganda Mbuende, told correspondents it was “no coincidence” that the “World Peace Tour 4 Children” would begin in his country, as Namibia had been the first to enshrine the rights of the child in its Constitution.
He expressed concern that the situation for children has been “deteriorating”, saying: “We are not only dealing with the question of trafficking in children. We are having a situation of a lot of orphans because of HIV/AIDS. We are having a situation where children are actually heads of households because their parents have died -– you have children taking care of children… Unless you do something about the situation of children, the future would be very bleak for a lot of our countries.”
Also lending support to the “World Peace Tour 4 Children” was the United Nations former Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States, Anwarul K. Chowdhury. He noted how the Tour coincided with the United Nations-declared International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World, which runs through 2010.
“I think this Peace Tour will give the final years of the decade a big boost,” Mr. Chowdhury said. Turning to the organizers, he added: “The heart of the World Peace Tour is education… You will be bringing educational materials, opportunities for education for the children -- and I believe that that’s a wonderful thing.”

Akon Raves About Working With Whitney Houston
He did say that the tracks he records with Whitney Houston will reflect her real, personal life.
"I'm starting on Whitney's project," he said. "She's the truth. She's undeniable. She's got so much to think about, sing about. This album is going to be one of the biggest albums she decided to put out. She has so much energy, so much happiness and sadness to incorporate into the album. Her voice is strong enough to deliver any message she wants to sing to the world. It's outta here."

Time-Life & BET J to Release All Star Gospel Christmas CD Featuring Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys and Bryan Wilson
On September 25, 2007 Time-Life and BET J will jointly present Love's Holiday: A Gospel Christmas. The fourteen track compilation features both traditional and new gospel-inspired Christmas recordings by both established gospel artists and their R&B peers. It opens with Donald Lawrence & the Tri-City Singers funky "Love's Holiday" which also features the soul-savvy vocals of the quartet, Men of Standard.
There are soulful ballads such as pop star Alicia Keys' reinterpretation of "Little Drummer Boy" as "Little Drummer Girl." Dove Award nominated belter Ann McCrary gives a nuanced, jazzy performance on her self-penned, "Remember Not to Forget Jesus." Gospel heartthrobs, the Kenoly Brothers, turn in soulful harmonies on "Why I Love You (You Are My Joy)" while Patti LaBelle proclaims Jesus is the "Reason for the Season" on that dramatic cut.
For fans of traditional carols, there's Gladys Knight & the Pips' "Do You Hear What I Hear?", Vanessa Bell Armstrong's "The Christmas Medley", Luther Vandross' "O Come All Ye Faithful" and Coko & SWV's pristine rendition of "O Holy Night." The Grammy-winning Mighty Clouds of Joy, who are still going strong after over 40 years in the business, do a solid cover of the Temptations' evergreen version of "Silent Night."
Young gospel star Bryan Wilson rocks around the Christmas tree with his conga-flavored "The Savior Has Come"; sister act, Mary Mary, has the tambourines clapping on the festive retro-soul styled "Tis the Season"; and vocal gymnast, Cristina Aguilera, heralds the good news on "Angels We Have Heard on High". Arguably, one of the most influential women of the last generation (in both pop and gospel circles), Whitney Houston, closes the collection and takes us straight to church on her rousing "Joy to the World" which is backed by the Georgia Mass Choir."

WHITNEY ASKED TO PERFORM IN NAMBIA IN 2008 FOR CHILDRENS
A german news site reported that Whitney was asked to perform on this concert: www.worldpeacetour4children.org in Namibia in 2008.
They didn't say if she accepted or not, they only said they asked her (and Celine Dion) and were waiting for her reply.

Windhoek - Das namibische Kabinett hat am Dienstag die Konzertidee begrüßt und gebilligt, nachdem Vizepremierministerin Libertine Amathila das Thema auf die Tagesordnung der Sitzung gebracht hatte. Sie hatte am Montag Besuch von Wolfgang Hildebrandt, Vorsitzender des von den Vereinten Nationen (UN) geförderten Projekts World Peace Tour for Children, in dessen Rahmen von 2008 bis 2010 eine Konzertreihe stattfinden soll. Der Auftakt ist laut Hildebrandt für den 22. April 2008 in Windhoek (Independence-Stadion) geplant, weitere fest stehende Veranstaltungsorte sind Südafrika (Johannesburg oder Kapstadt, am 18. Juli anlässlich des 90. Geburtstags von Nelson Mandela), Kalkutta, Kiew, Los Angeles, Mumbai (früher Bombay), Seoul und Tokio. Während die Ausrichtung der Großveranstaltungen von Sponsoren finanziert würde, sollen die Eintrittsgelder jeweils gemeinnützigen Projekten vor Ort zugute kommen. In Namibia soll der Erlös an HIV/Aids-Projekte fließen, wozu die Vizepremierministerin entsprechende Vorschläge unterbreiten will.
„Der Termin für das Konzert in Windhoek ist nicht zufällig gewählt: Denn der 22. April ist der World Earth Day (Aktionstag für die Erde – wird seit 1970 begangen, die Red.)“, erklärte Hildebrandt gestern im AZ-Gespräch. „Bei einer Pressekonferenz am 21. September im UN-Hauptsitz in New York werden wir den Termin des Konzerts in Windhoek der Welt mitteilen“, führte er aus und hatte zudem noch eine gute Nachricht parat: „Heute früh hat Andrea Bocelli sein Kommen zugesagt.“ Damit sind nun mit Cool and The Gang sowie Paebo Bryson (er verhalf Céline Dion im Jahre 1992 im Duett mit dem Lied „Beauty And The Beast“ zum gleichnamigen Disney-Zeichentrickfilm „Die Schöne und das Biest“ zum Durchbruch) insgesamt drei Weltstars verpflichtet. Damit nicht genug: „Am Donnerstag erwarten wir noch die Zusage von Céline Dion oder Whitney Houston“, so Hildebrandt. Mit den namibischen Künstlern, die als lokales Pendant auftreten sollen, würden derzeit Gespräche geführt, darunter mit Gazza, Stefan Ludik und Sunny Boy.
Gestern hat Windhoeks Bürgermeister Matheus Shikongo seine Unterstützung für das Konzert zugesagt. „Ich begrüße die Initiative sehr und bin stolz, dass Windhoek als Veranstaltungsort ausgesucht wurde. Als Gastgeber werden wir alles tun, um den Gästen ihren Aufenthalt so angenehm wir möglich zu machen und das Projekt zum Erfolg zu bringen“, sagte er bei einem Treffen mit Projektleiter Hildebrandt. Er schlug zudem vor, eine Großleinwand in der Innenstadt zu installieren, auf der Interessierte, die nicht ins Stadion gehen, das Konzert verfolgen können.

Aretha Franklin Gets Crowned
Entitled Jewels In The Crown: All Star Duets With The Queen, the album will feature Franklin teaming up with a diverse array of performers including Keith Richards, Whitney Houston, Annie Lennox, George Michael, Mariah Carey, Frank Sinatra, Mary J Blige, and John Legend, just to name a few.
The first single from the album will be "Put You Up On Game," a duet with American Idol's Fantasia, which will be released to radio on October 1st.
Tracks on the album include: "It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be" (with Whitney Houston), "What Y'All Came To Do" (with John Legend), "Doctor's Orders" (with Luther Vandross), "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves" (with Annie Lennox), "Jumping Jack Flash" (with Keith Richards), "Through The Storm" (with Elton John), "What Now My Love" (with Frank Sinatra), "I Knew You Were Waiting" (with George Michael), "Ever Changing Times" (with Michael McDonald), "Love All The Hurt Away" (with George Benson), "A Natural Woman (You Make Me Feel Like)" (with Bonnie Raitt and Gloria Estefan), "Chain Of Fools" (with Mariah Carey) and "Don't Waste My Time" and "Never Gonna Break My Faith" (with Mary J. Blige and with the Harlem Boys Choir on the latter).
The album concludes with Franklin's performance of "Nessum Dorma," the aria from Act III of Puccini's Turandot. Hardcore music fans may recall that Franklin stepped in at the last minute and performed the aria in place of ailing tenor Luciano Pavarotti at the Grammy awards world wide telecast in February 1998. With just eight minutes of preparation backstage, she sang it with the 72-piece orchestra in Pavarotti's key (three steps lower than her own) .

MI EXPERIENCIA EN EL CONCIERTO DE LISBOA 4 JULIO DE 1998
...Esa gente empieza a desaparecer, y nosotros intentamos asegurarnos de que Nippy se encuentra en ese hotel el "LE MERIDIEN PARK ATLANTIC LISBOA*****". Después de varios intentos fallidos preguntamos al botones que estaba en la puerta, pero este no quería decir nada, tras nuestras suplicas nos dice que Whitney se encontraba en la planta numero 12. To le pregunto por el numero de habitación y a lo que me respondió que toda la planta estaba reservada para ella y su equipo... Entre al hotel simulando que hacia una llamada de teléfono desde la cabina que había en su interior. Quería estudiar la posibilidad de llegar a subir, pero era totalmente imposible, la seguridad era total, pero decidimos esperar en la puerta del hotel hasta casi la hora del concierto por si hay suerte y Whitney sale...
...La hora del concierto se acerca, vemos un autobús aparcado en la puerta del hotel, a uno 10 metros de nosotros, el equipo de Whitney empieza a montar en el, también entró Gary Houston, pero entre que le reconocimos y no, ya subía al autobús y no nos dio tiempo a hacer fotos o a intentar hablar con él......Whitney no apareció por ningún sitio y nos tuvimos que marchar al ESTADIO ALVALADE, donde se celebraba el concierto...
