So... like before, gah-on and post any questions you may have for the beautiful songbird in the comment area below and I'll try to get them answered for ya!

Good morning everyone! Congrats, Ed, on landing the interview! You going be able for concentrate during the interview, or what?! Nah, j/k.
Here's my questions:
- does she enjoy collaborating with Jason Mraz?

Colbie Caillat? who dat? Out of my element here with current singers but she does look like a cross between Jennifer Aniston and Cat Toth. Part-time Kauai native? Ask her to explain dat...grew up in Kauai for part of the time?
September 14th, 2009 at 6:21 am
... hmmm ... I enjoy Colbie Caillat music ... but had no idea it was her ... definitely my type of music ... and part-time Kaui native ... another thing I did not realize ...
... here's my questions ...
... Where did she grow up, and who were her musical influences? ...
... Her music has a laid-back feel like music from Hawaii. Does she know of or ever heard the local Hawaii music? Any influences from Hawaii? ...
... Local musician, Jack Johnson's musical style seems to be in sync with her style. Any thoughts on a collaboration with him? ...

I love the harmonies in "Magic." Does she have any more collaborations planned?
September 14th, 2009 at 7:47 am

I noticed it really quick on the video and thought "that looks like koa". then I scrolled up and saw the pic. not just koa but really really nice koa.
September 14th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I forwarded these to bruddah Jus'. Hopefully he has time to reply to um sky.
I looooove the color matty! You one uke/guitar playa?
September 14th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
aww... lucky!
love colbie caillat!
my favorite song is "magic" & the duet she did w/ jason mraz "lucky". i got her new album & her songs are just as good as the first cd. love her latest single - "falling for you"...
i'm curious on how much she visits HI & if she'll ever do a concert here? what other musician would she love to work with?
September 14th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
eh, ed... congrats on scoring an interview with colbie callet! i really like "bubbly" - it's so light - and "lucky."
my question for her would be: how does (spending time in) hawaii influence her music?
September 14th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
I don't know who she is! What can I ask? Ask her to pose for a photo for one of your Where in the World Wednesdays....
HIJACK....can I take this opportunity to make you feel old? UH IT announces last week that they will be retiring UHUNIX2 soon. LOL...RIP UNIX2!
September 14th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Wow, Colbie Caillat, first off, you're beautiful... I love your voice... secondly, where do you find most of the inspiration for your songs? Now on to Ed's questions...
Haven't yet DL'ed all of Breakthrough.
Fallin' For You is probably my favorite from Breakthrough, and Bubbly from Coco.
Overall I like Fallin' For You best... because it's about that feeling you get when you know that you're with the right person, no matter what others think or say... But you question whether that person really is the right one... and try to play it cool by "hidin' what I'm feelin'...

@Ed - Thanks! Should I also send over the bebs question too? Nah, I'll refrain this one time.
September 14th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Oooh, that would be of interest to me too! Actually, she came a few times, but not really for an official concert. Hopefully, she'll sell out the Blaisdell (or Aloha Stadium?>
) one day...
Watching/Reading some of her other interviews, it seems to have a pretty good influence. Would be interested to see what she has to say to us about that one Informer!
WHA!!!??? UHUNIX2!!!??? The memories! LOL!
Love the insight, Chosen One. Props.
And yeah, mahaloz for being nice this time sky! LOL!

September 14th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
September 15th, 2009 at 5:23 am
@Ed - it wasn't a smashing. I only had a lead since a lot of your players hadn't played yet...
September 15th, 2009 at 10:22 am
WWE,
yeah, brah...just wait for them...they coming...I promise...if you no get them, must be your computer is broke. =)
September 15th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
What "dream venue" does she want to perform at?
My fave song has to be "Tell Him" from the Summer Sessions CD.
Tell her to keep putting out the sweeeeet music.
September 15th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
does she have any aspirations to transition to different media types or does she strictly see herself as a musician?
September 17th, 2009 at 2:59 am
so i mentioned to peeps in singapore that you're gonna interview colbie and their question is "when is she coming to singapore to perform?" looks like she's got a fan base here in singapore.. worth it for you to mention to her!!
September 17th, 2009 at 3:00 am
oh yeah - that conversation happened over asahi beers and sushi...
