Naomi is killing these interviews, no let me make a correction these conversations. Two legendary people keeping it real. Lionel & Naomi, iconic. Period.

@beluved-tee 3 жыл бұрын

I think the reason her conversations with these icons & legends are so amazing is because of her genuine connection, friendships, history & the mutual respect that she seems to have with them... being a living legend herself. How wonderful is it that she’s sharing those relationships here with us! 🙏🏿

Naomi Campbell is a BRILLIANT interviewer. She understands the art of conversation like a TRUE PRO. If she wasn't the greatest model that ever lived; she would be the greatest talk show host ever! She is gracious, respectful and curious. One day, I'll visit her in Kenya and we will have a blast! Love, love, love Ms. Campbell! Oh, as for the living legend Lionel Riche himself; what a treat. Thank you both so much.

I could listen to Lionel for hours. PS: I remember my mom would go to church for the evening service. One evening I said its ok, I am not going with. She came back and said our then President Nelson Mandela was there as a visitor and he stood on the stage. Even now I am like, why didnt I go?! Lol

@charisrobertson9495 3 жыл бұрын

I truly feel no one loves this man more than me! No other vocalist can touch my soul the way that Lionel does when he sings. I was intrigued by him the very first time I heard him sing as a child. I also think he’s a vampire because this man has not aged.

The feeling of love is a wonderful feeling especially when you have a lovely song to listen to, to build on the emotion you are feeling at the time. Thanks Lionel for all the great music that you have given us. You have made so many profound statements during this interview. You have a great platform, to share your light, to share your journey, may we use your knowledge, wisdom to be better humans. Much luv from Trinidad and Tobago.

Hi Naomi i love your programme. You are doing great and your guest list is awesone👌🏾! The only critique I have is that I feel you interrrupt the guest quite a lot to the point they can loose their train of thoughts! I noticed that in the interview with Iman too. At times it's best to let the guests finish their sentence & you can always go back on a particular part if you wish. Keep it up👍🏼
