Firstly Alisa, congratulations on the wonderful tour Reflection. We held
"Welcome to My World" here when you were reasonably unknown. This time all
tickets sold out within a few minutes. How does this tour compare to your
first international one?
This one is much longer than the first tour and much bigger of course, once you begin selling records the studio is more inclined to give you a bigger budget for the tour. I've had to take a lot of breaks from the tour to attend awards shows and such, but beside the large scale, I think this tour is pretty similar to my other tours. Are you getting tired of the industry or is it just getting better and
better for you?
Tired! I love what I'm doing! The industry just keeps getting better. I never thought I would be so popular when I started and I thank God everyday for the gift he's given me. The only thing about the industry is the gossip and underhanded tricks artists use to get publicity also it's getting pretty dangerous, everytime I enter the Fame Board, another star has been kidnapped or killed or something of the other. You've done exceptionally well in the awards stakes this year...notably
with your Golden Stars for Best Album and Best Female Artist. These were
voted for by the public...it must give you a great sense of achievment?
I still don't know what to say about the awards. It's amazing that I got them and I REALLY REALLY appreciate the public voting for me. The awards have made me more determined to work even harder for my fans. Hopefully my third album will be just as great for
How has your good fortune this year affected you?
Wow, this year has been busy, first the launch of Innocent/Sexy, the release of Reflection and then my tour and in bewteen it all I've earned a few more awards. It has made me realize that I have a larger influence than I thought and should use that influence resposibly, that's why I started my charity, No Red and am working on chosing some more charities to donate to. We know that the Reflection Tour, as with most, is a long and tiring one.
What have you got planned for after for yourself and for future music? I can't wait to get home and work on my third album, I've been doing some writing during my travels and I would love to work with some of the new artists such as Jessie Brooks, that girl has a nice voice-she's keeping me on my toes, but that's good. I would love to have a large tour with a few other artists, that would help the communities in arranging tours of course and it would bring out larger crowds. I'm also exploring creating another fashion collection, including outfits for teens, winter clothing, since fashionable winter clothing is so hard to find and some special outfits for large size and small size sims, since it's nearly impossible to find clothes for those sizes. I plan on getting a design team together after the tour and creating a small collection, but the hard part is finding boutique space.
So.....is there a man in your life yet Alisa? C'mon....you can tell us? Ha! Everyone seems to ask that question, but with my busy schedule it's hard to find someone. I do feel kind of left out with so many stars getting married and having children. There was one guy I was attracted to, I honestly thought we had a future and had invited him to my house during his tour, but he ended up getting married and that broke my heart. I guess I am a little too romantic. Besides, I have plenty of time to find love, but if you're a great single guy, let me know. I might surprise you guys and bring a 'guest' to the next awards show.
We want to get your views on the Simmish Prophecy. I know this is very
controvertial but what do you think about it? Are you going to "convert"?Honestly, I haven't thought about it that much. I am still doing my research, but what I know about it so far I would be interested in converting, but the opportunities seem limiting, I'd have to get a REAL job! But the tradeoff of being able to give birth, what my children grow, have greater stylish homes, wow! However, I think that if I convert I will wait until a few more sims convert to make sure the procedure is safe and reliable.
If the Simmish Prophecy is fufilled how do you see your life...as a star,
changing?
Well, I'd probably would lose a lot of fans if I decide not to convert as most of them would be coverted, but if I converted I'd have to give up my music career for the time being-at least that's the information that I've gotten so far. Well thankyou so much for your time Alisa. As usual its always a
pleasure. Will you come back and see us again..maybe on your 3rd sell out
tour?
Of course, Simborough is one of my favorite stops, I should just purchase a home there since I come through so often. Chris Harrow - 22/04/2004
