Natalia took a breath and let it out slowly as she heard Ellen introducing her. It seemed like she was just here doing an interview for The Last Song. Now she was here to perform and talk about her new projects. Everything was going so well for her and moving so quickly, she didn't want it to stop. "Our next guest is one of the most popular singers of her generation and on the new CD Chimes Of Freedom 50th Anniversary of Amnesty International. She's honoring one of the greatest songwriters of all time and here to perform a Bob Dylan classic. Please welcome Natalia Richmond." The doors began to open as the crowd applauded, this was it. The first time she would be performing this song live and the first time the public would be hearing her version.
PERFORMANCE & FIRST PART OF INTERVIEW.
Natalia hugged Johnzo when she finished and then headed over to Ellen. She felt great. She waved to the fans, thanking them for the applause and then hugged Ellen. "That was beautiful." "Thank you, thank you so much." she said as she sat down. "That was so good.""Thank you so much." Natalia felt great right now and the fact that the audience was still cheering and Ellen kept telling her how good it was, made her feel even better. Bob Dylan was a hard one to do a cover for and she pulled it off. "I mean your voice is just so, so beautiful, such a great tone and I love that song for you." "Thank you, me too." "That's a great song." "I'm so excited to be on this record and just with so many cool people, its everyone that I dreamed of working with and just being able to cover, ya know, a Dylan tune is so awesome." "And a good cause." "Yeah. Amnesty, just to be a part of that group has really been awesome." "Very cool. I'm glad you're here and I'm glad you sang that and the Grammy's are this Sunday night," "Yup." "and I know you brought two, just a pair of tickets, right?" "Yeah." "You have two tickets." "Yup." "We wanna give a pair of tickets to Jennifer Grahm, where's Jennifer Grahm?" Just then this woman stood up and started clapping very excitedly. Natalia laughed a bit and watched her practically run down the stairs to the stage. All Natalia thought about was her not falling in the heels. Natalia stood up and hugged her. She stood back as Jennifer and Ellen hugged and Ellen gave the tickets to her.
Natalia watched Jennifer go back up to her seat and sat back down and smiled to Ellen, "She was so happy." she laughed a bit. "Yeah, yeah she was...so uh Natalia, feels like you were just here." "It does, I just missed you." she smiled. "No you didn't...Your hair was different. I like it, but what's the occasion?" "Thank you," she said as she played with it for a moment,"its actually for the two roles that I have now and the reason I'm here." "Yeah, you've been in Michigan, is that right?" "That's right. Its for the movie called LOL. It was originally a French film and we're remaking it, um, and I think its going to be cool because I love the French version so I think its nice that we're able to share this with teenagers and I think its good, its like a bit of a wake up call I think for moms and daughters that, me and my mom are so close and um, ya know and the mom, Demi, is going through this mid life crisis and I'm growing up, Lola's growing up and they're kind of going through the same situation. Mom's yelling at her and she's mad at her mom because she's like you're not a teenager anymore, but it just shows how alike they are and they have to kinda work that out and ya know find who they are with eachother." "Wow sounds interesting." "Yeah, it is." "Now you said Demi..did you mean Demi Moore?" "Yeah. Demi is playing my mother and it's such an honor to be able to work with her."
"I bet. So you said two movies, what is the other one about?" Natalia smiled, "I can't really say too much about it, but I can tell you that it is called So Undercover and I get to play an undercover agent. That's all I can say." she laughed. "Aw man...So any new music we can look forward to?" "Yes, actually. I have been working on a new album." "Very cool." "Yeah, it's kind of a big step in a new direction. Its a bit edgy pop, but there are songs that I feel everyone can relate to." "Any tours in mind?" "We're not planning one right now, just because of everything that is going on; the filming and with The Last Song coming out in April, there is just no time." "You're a busy girl." Natalia laughed, "That I am, but you can't get where you wanna go sitting on your booty all day." she said as she pointed to her butt under her. "Where would you like to go on your tour...just the United States..or...?" "My dream is to do a tour in South America and Australia. Just two places I really love. I'm actually, I kinda forgot about this..shh, don't tell, but I will be performing at Rock in Rio next month. I will be performing covers and a few of my new songs that will be on this new album." "When can we expect this album?" "Well...uh..there still is some work that needs to be done...I need to get a single out on the radio before anything." "Yeah, yeah. Well thank you for joining us." "Its always a pleasure." "We look forward to hearing your new music." "Thank you. I can't wait for y'all to hear it." "Oh, one more thing before we take a break, The album is called Chimes Of Freedom and everyone in the audience is getting one." Natalia smiled and clapped, "You guys will love it." "We'll be back right after this." Natalia stood up and hugged Ellen, "Thank you so much for having me." "No problem, thank you for coming. Come visit us soon." "Definitely." she blew a kiss to the audience and headed back stage and into her dressing room. She had to pack up and head back to Michigan, filming didn't stop for anyone.
