On the Spot from Jordan Knight.com Oct. & Nov. 2000

ON THE SPOT - 10/00
1.

What have you learned from fatherhood? (Marie)
Changing diapers ain't so bad but it has to be your kid. :-)

2. I know you don't like revealing much of your personal life, but I was just wondering - is there a special reason why you named your son Dante? (Chiara)
I appreciate that you respect my privacy, but there was no particular reason…I just liked the name
3. There are many negative aspects of the entertainment industry that many fall victim to. How do you deal with all the negative aspects and yet stay so positive? (Kerry A.)
Now that everyone goes through junk, no matter who you are or what you do…Pick good friends to talk to.
4. For the most part the critical reviews on your debut album were very positive, however, it may not have been as big a commercial success as you may have hoped. Although it would be great to have both (critical and commercial success), which is more important to you, and were you satisfied with the response to your first solo album? (Cheryl)
Loved it…I wish it sold more but I'd rather do an album I feel good about. The key is trying to balance commercial with creativity.
5. What is the best concert you've seen within the past year? (Ida)
Mary J. Blige
6. Which celebrity would you most like to spot buying your album? (Sonia W.)
Paul McCartney or DMX
7. If you have a day off, completely free of music and recording, what do you like to do the most? (Elizabeth )
Take pictures.
9. If you could pick a question you wish "fans" would ask about yourself... what would it be? (Sarah-Joy)
I like talking about how the songs I've done were made and the process that they went through.

1.

How is the album coming along? Any chance in hearing stuff you've been working on soon? (Amanda)
Everything's going great so far. But sorry you're just going to have to wait until the album comes out. :-)

2. Has becoming a father influenced some of your lyrics on your upcoming album? (Allison W.)
That's a good question, but honestly it hasn't.
3. From conception to completion, how long does it typically take for you to completely record one song? (Marjorie)
It all depends on the difficulty of the song. It can vary from 1 day to 1 week, but there also is the problem with scheduling and studio time.
4. What is a typical day like for you these days? (Crystal)
Studio…Studio…Studio, Travel…Travel…Travel, No sleep…No sleep…No sleep. :-)
5. Is there any type of music or any artist that you feel does not get the respect that they deserve? (Krista)
Some of these boy bands (not all) have real talent and don't get enough respect.
6. What's at the top of your Christmas list this year? (Leanne Marie)
Sleep! :-)

He's walking now.

What is your all time favorite Beatles song/album? (Rebeca)
Yellow Submarine album…but I like them all.
