Comment: I agree, his album was surprisingly great. I gave my beau a copy and he can't get enough of it to this day. His favorite song is "Complicated." He says he can relate to that. Hmmmm lol Anywho, I found this article very interesting, seems like it was a good interview. Robin's transparency is refreshing. He seems very comfortable with sharing his vulnerabilities/insecurities/pain. That's more than you can say for most people. Seems like a special dude...

Comment: Given all the accolades (and despite the fact I've heard "Lost Without You" enough to last a lifetime), perhaps I'll go to iTunes and get a couple of his songs. But yeah, he could be on the edge of insanity. Next time his wife goes off on a multi-month shoot, she'd better watch her back upon return because Robin might strangle her to death.

Comment: A lot of men's egos are extremely fragile; they are naturally competitive with other men. I can totally understand what he means in terms of how he felt about Paula and Andre. Here he is, at the time, with no record deal, feeling like he isn't much in his wife's eyes, while she is out working on her career, doing love scenes with a friggin' superstar and he's home licking his wounds. While I'm sure she loved him as much as she always did, he had a different scenario playing in his mind and took it out on her.

Comment: I hear you, Deb70, but I wouldn't be too concerned about Andre. Denzel, yes. And what as she focusing on so intently? The movie bombed big time. That mess was so convoluted that people aren't evening picking it up on 99 cent day at Blockbuster.
Also, she oculd have come home if she wanted to. There is a such thing as weekends.

Comment: I am surprised by his candor and honesty. Let's me know that there are other's out there with issues and/or demon's. If we are completely honest about ourselves, we all have secrets that we don't want other's to see. ...Time for the record company to push the next single though. Great CD, been rocking it since day one plus the tracks that were left off the original CD...no doubt...Image and being perfect is everything in Society.

Comment: gingerg--I agree. Clearly there's more to it. Not cool of her to stay away like that. Ain't that much focusing needed in the world. But isn't the "reversal of fortune" funny? The movie bombed, like you say, and ain't moving in rentals. And now Robin is the shyt. Paula is officially "Robin Thicke's wife" right now in a sense, in terms of who got the juice at this point. You just never know how life is gonna turn out. He got his "manhood" back. He just needed to be patient and have faith.

Comment: Love this guy, his insightful lyrics and personal candor. I doubt someone had to edit much of what he said; I've heard him speak and he's very articulate, plus he plays musical instruments and can score a song. Oh, hope the marriage is stronger than the speculation made in all these posts!

Comment: It's a nice, easy CD to listen to. Not the best "singer" but good in a Maxwell meets Justin Timberlake kind of way..just more "panting" in his voice. "Hi'm lost without Choo...How does hit feel, to know that high love ya baby." I hope he ain't passing off the damn insecurity onto his wife tho'. Hopefully he does well..but those who "pour out their hearts" haven't done too well for a while now...especially brothas.

Comment: A bunch of hypocrits for the white boy as usual...lol!!! Yeah, I'm gonna go there because if ANY, I REPEAT ANY BLACK MALE R&B SINGER HAD SAID SOMETHING AS CRAZY AS BEING JEALOUS OF OUR SAVIOR, MOST OF YOU WOULD HAVE DOGGED HIM OUT & YOU KNOW IT!!! Even if it was someone that everybody likes like John Legend or Usher it would have been the same! But yet you give this faggy-looking, drug addicted, white boy a break?! PATHETIC!!!

When Anna Nicole died you'da thought Jesus died the way some folk on this board carried on and all she did was stay drugged up and showed her azz, Janet had a malfunction and they wanted to run her out of the entertainment business! So I feel you.

Comment: Mothership...Elisabeth Withers is the bomb...feelin the track "Be With You"...Didn't know she was in The Color Purple playing the role of Shug Avery...adding to the the collection:)...She also listens to Sheryl Crow. Let's snatch bake her "Blackness" pass. but she also gets down with Gladys Knight and Natalie Cole. Why isn't she played on "Urban" radio? Maybe becuz she has that soul...HaHa

Comment: Soul, no she's no relation to Bill. She's a Berkley School of Music and NYU grad. She used to sing with Luther. Her CD is called "It Can Happen To Anyone." You can peep her videos on this site. http://www.bluenote.com/elisabeth/

Comment: Yeah, ol' girl rocks on "Be With You." She's not played on urban radio because urban radio is about a buncha bullshyt. But that is changing now. We're getting back to the flavor slowly but surely.

Comment: Mothership...the Bluenote label don't play..I see she paid her dues by conquering "The Big Apple"...for some reasons I can tell she was influenced by the Dianne Reeves CD...Never Too Far...Im just sayin....Not surprised that she went on tour with Luther, you have to bring your "A" game with that dude....

Comment: Sistahs, or better yet black women will always give a whiteboy a pass but if a brotha was saying all of that vulnerable bullshyt then he would be called weak or a punk. The day a man would worry about a woman being away working is the day he should walk out of the relationship because no female is worth stressing out about.

Comment: Man, tough crowd, glad everyone is so well adjusted and never had moments of doubt. The interview does seem interersting. Jealous of Jesus, more than likely at age 7, he may not have had a true concept of what being the Son of God meant, I certainly wouldn't knock him for his thoughts and ideas at 7 (Gee WHIZ.) The CD is nice. I do support black artist that are good, but I won't limit myself to just black artist, good is good regardless of color (except if you are a statutory rapist like R. Kelly LOL)

Comment: Train> This is an ongoing theme with you in the past few weeks about sister's giving a white boy a pass, does it happen that often? As one sister, it's not about a anyone being a punk for expressing his feelings but that's just me (different folks, different experiences.) Oh well, I guess it's like the guys in the board saying that anytime a black man is dating a white woman, all sisters get an attitude....

Comment: Man, y'all are trippin'. LOL At 7, I think I still believed in Santa Clause. As for feelin insecure when ol' girl was blowin up while he couldn't get a record deal is nothin new. He just had the balls to admit his shortcoming. That's not punkish. More folks need to recognize why they do dumb ish to their partner. Sounds like he figured it out in time to keep his girl because she was all smiles on Oprah.

Comment: Gfrand...Well he was never ever to recover from the sophmore jinx. Most people weren't able to get w/his 2nd CD Embrya and he fell off after that w/his 3rd. As much as we like to say we want something "different"..we generally want the same. Only certain artists are able to do the different thing and Max wasn't one. Prince hadn't always put out good music (Crystal Ball, NPG) but he was Prince. Amy Winehouse is "ok"..a cross 'tween Shirley B%*$ey and maybe Billie but she's not someone I would listen to very often. There is truth to what TRAIN said because I don't know many black women who are down w/brotha airing their souls like this insecure dude. In fact, I believe Eric Benet has done that and you see how much love he gets..lol

Comment: Personally, I don't care for men that refuse to show or talk about their emotions sometimes. That hard bullshyt gets tired. Speak, ni**a! And tell me what's on your mind! That's why men, and black men in particular, have so many heart attacks and strokes 'cause they always holding shyt in. I get so sick of having to ask a man what he's really feeling or thinking, and he doesn't wanna tell because he fears rejection or doesn't wanna seem soft. When that happens too often, I just leave. I have no interest in being in a relationship with a machine. I want a man that can be real sometimes.

Comment: Deb...you must understand the who psychological thing of how black boys are raised. Even as children, black boys are not expected to be emotional. I'm sure you've experienced or at least heard the "boy's/men don't cry" thing. The openeness thing sounds great in theory. But "emotional" as a matter of practice is considered weak. MAybe for women on up in life..but by that time...men are settled in their personalities. So, a lot of guys don't get pass those initial "men do this" stage. Not an excuse..but an explanation...SD.

Comment: mus--I hear you. And I do know those things; I just tend to live in a fantasy world I guess and think that one day the guy will finally decide to open up, because it's not worth losing who or what is important to him. But maybe the who or what isn't that important...sometimes I don't know. But you are right; if it's ingrained in their personality, there won't be any change. I just wish black men weren't always raised to be so sheltered with their emotions. It makes relationships so hard sometimes.

Comment: Hey Musbe> You stealing my excuse/explanation line or are you someone else who often has to make that distinction? Anyway there is a truth to what is more acceptable the older you get so maybe that's why I'm feeling that, I do realize that is the discussion I get into with my younger co-workers, the 24-30 group of women are always calling men punks for whatever reason (yet they must like punks 'cause they are dealing with a bunch of guys they cuss out loudly on a daily basis and still date them---never wanted a cuy you could always talk to with such disrespect)

Comment: I know I'm "talking" a lot today, but just had to share, that this one guy I dealt with--whenever he felt himself getting too emotionally close to me, he would disappear for like a week--not contacting me. Then come back, and it would happen all over again. That mess got SO tired. It was because he couldn't deal with his feelings; I guess he didn't want to feel himself getting "mushy" about a woman. That constant running back and forth wore me out, and I let the relationship go. But before I finally did, I found myself becoming harder with him emotionally in return, and just stopped opening up to him altogether. It could have been a really nice relationship, I think. But that hard- azz stone wall he had up just would not come down. Life is so short and it just seemed like a waste. Big dummy.

Comment: lolol...SD...yeah I always have to make that distinction but I read when you wrote that the other day and said "somebody get's it." People often say "that's an excuse" when sometimes it's really an explanation. There is a different. Most things change the older you get..perspectives, requirements etc. If you find a brotha then you have to stroke him so that he doesn't feel "less than a man" talking about the things you want. The whole "less than a man" thing is what it is. ME..I don't have that problem....lol

Comment: Uhmmm Boy, Andre was hurt'n tha!! White men need to get over the short or small guys syndrome. Get some confidence Robin Thicke. Since she married him, she could care less about another man whether they are black or white. He was good enough for her. But, if he keep on with the insecurities she will be gone. By the way loved the album! I will let it be known that I supported a brotha when I purchase my copy! I only paid $3.00! It is worht at least drop of it!

Ok, I can see him being a lil worried; she hangin with Denzel...Andre..and who ever else she'll wind up on screen with (not a half bad actress)' but he ain't no slouch either! He's been writing and producing music forf MaryJ, Usher and who knows who else...and not half/bad at it either.
So I think they both are on their way!
