Natalie is so humble, sincere, simple, genuine. NOT superficial at all. I wish more people were like her! 😇

Just imagine if the whole world was filled with more Natalie Merchants what a beautiful place this would be.

Such a beautiful soul and spirit. The World is a better place with Natalie .

I'm a black woman searching out Natalie Merchant songs and performances on KZfaq. I just came across this video and just said what are the chances that 2 black women will be up there as fans. I love Natalie Merchant. She very organic, holistic, and calming even in her upbeat songs.

Her songs are pretty timeless. Hard to believe its been 25+ years ago. She'll always be young in my ear.

I have seen Natalie Merchant perform live twice--once in Saratoga, CA and another time at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. Natalie was gracious, composed, gifted, and generous on both occasions. At the Davies Hall performance, she sang so many songs from her 10,0000 maniacs days. SHE WAS AMAZING!!! This past week, I listened to several of her songs and the experience of listening to My Skin, Wonder, and These Are The Days still brings me to an emotional place that I can only describe as getting close to what love means. I will always be grateful to her for the experiences.

Love her stories, love her music, love her humanity.

Kudos to Katie for recognizing this American treasure.

Class…no ego…no flash…no attitude…no T&A…pure talent and love of her art…

All time favorite. Beautiful and talented.

When i had seen their Trouble Me video back in 1989 in Lima Peru, i became a fan of 10000 maniacs. I agree with other commentaries that her time with the band was brighter in many ways than her solo career. I hope they reunite for the joy it would mean to everyone. Maybe a neutral city in South America could be the guest.

Natalie wrote our anthem and she gets chocked up. That is why....pure.

I always like listening to her music whenever I need to escape from life and hearing that voice and music keeps me at peace

Oh how music has changed... There's no poets like Natalie anymore.

I know how she feels about being onstage vs. one on one and that somehow it is easier to be onstage. I have also have been moved by experiences that at times are so overwhelmingly emotional it is impossible to talk about them without crying. She is an artist that is very special to me and to many.

wonderful wonderful interview !

A true talent. Not all caught up in being a celebrity. Love Natalie ❤

I loooooove Natalie Merchant!

Im so in love with Natalie.

More albums please!

That was awesome! Congrats to the two winners, Aracelis and Melanie, of the tickets to the Natalie Merchant concert.

DAMN I LOVE HER, I GREW UP ON HER MUSIC..AND ALSO R.E.M. AS WELL.

A true artist in every sense of the word. Peace.

Some in the comments are trashing Katie.. I’m indifferent to her, but I think she did a fair/decent job at facilitating the interview with the questions here. And of course, Natalie Merchant is an exceptional songwriter!

Soooo underrated love love her

She's still gorgeous... Inside and out. Love her.

My absolute favorite. I listen to her daily.

Natalie Merchant turns us big, strong, "Manly," men into wailing, weeping, blithering idiots!😭 (and I love EVERY minute of it!)

What I admire most is that she breathes life into a completely braindead show and pulls off some gracious answers to generic questions that just make me squirm.

I’ve always thought she was a poet who adapted her words into music lol. She’s a brilliant storyteller. I wish she would direct or write a film - her “Ophelia” storyline is brilliant

I love her solo work but always feel her collab with 10kM was the tops. The bands uplifting, 'happy' music gave a great contrast to her weighty lyrics and voice. Her solo work is dark, beautiful but dark.

First radio interview I heard of Natalie she spoke so well I thought she was from England

I remember when this aired like it was YESTERDAY.

She’s an inspiration

Natalie's just bad Ass ! I'm a rocker but when I heard her she rocked my 🌎 she very . very smart. She writes about real Shit. She a damn genuous

So down to earth 💗🎶

Wish more of us could act more like her 🙏

Natalie Merchant is a sweetheart. ❤

I had no idea Katie Kuric had her own television show. Bizarre!

Beautiful soul 🙏🏿

Such a beautiful person

The Queen of Modern Americana; and such a lovely human.

best one!

When I was 16 years old all I listened to was hard core rap…I considered other genres weird considering I grew up in the ghetto. Then I heard her voice. It ruined music for me forever. It was like hearing an angel hymn from heaven. She raised the bar so high.

What a Beautiful & Classy Woman.

I was|am a huge 10000 fan but just never got into her solo work. Great lady though.

Such a Huge difference between the Deep waters of Natalie's spirit that one could swim in forever, and the shallow puddle of Katie's that would scarcely get the ankles wet!

Natalies kindness and generosity song was in my memory for a while than finally found who sang it don't know why Katie didn't ask better questions and seemed a bit cold

katie cackcle

She really hasn’t aged all that well. That being said. She is a beautiful person.

It sounds like Natalie has some European accent.

Worst interview questions. Ever.

Natalie, oh Natalie.. Thank you.

What an #Empath she is I'm an Empath too

You can see the difference between the supid kouric and the very inteligent genius Natalie....

I love Natalie please contact me !!!!

Damn Nat, has it been that long. I know we all age, but why is she dragging me along with her, I'm not that old c'mon Indian Love Bride, lady Clairol will do WONDERS no pun intended...I'm Kensington Drake!

I like Natalie and her music very much but Katie's show is pathetic.

Sooo tacky when these talk shows do this instead of just getting right into the interview.

Katie loves the blacks.

Sad part we are like same age..geeez natalie the whole. l am over 50 i am just going to let myself go Look is freaking 😥.. Still got voice but girl buy a bottle of revolon.lol
