Would you say that David Bowie sold out? Or *followed* fashion? Siouxie Sioux? You are right to say that Morrisey has never sold or nor followed, but to credit him exclusivity in integrity is perhaps a bit hyperbolic.

It is so nice to actually have mainstream media giving Morrissey a chance to speak and having a good interview with him, without trying to make him look bad. Also, I have never liked Miley Cyrus' music, but it is a shame how everything turned out. Morrissey when speaking about her sounds like the caring grandfather his grandkids won't visit.

Stop. Just STOP. That's utter bullllllsht Nobody tries to make him look bad. He says fckd up, sometimes racist stuff. Period. You can like a person and their work without absolute azz kissing and pretending to agree with everything they do, say.
Ask him about his far right hideous political views. And how he hates foreigners despite not even living in the UK. That’s why most Smiths’ fans hate him. Maybe he can join the Klu Klux Klan whilst he’s there.
I agree. I thought it was going to be a train wreck, especially since she has a "cheerleaderly" personality. But I've watched it a few times now because I love him. I got the feeling that the interviewer didn't know much about him or his work and did some quick research an hour before the interview
I agree. She's probably not the type of personality Morrissey would vibe with she's so disarming, guileless and enthusiastic that it totally worked for her.
Nothing better in the 80's than having The Smiths latest album in your hands,on the bottom deck of a double decker bus at the back perusing the lyrics and being enthralled with the fabulous lyrics and realising that they were songs. Being so excited to get it on the turntable!! Best frontman/lyricist ever!!
wouldve been great shocking and fantastical if Morrissey had said he wanted to collab with Mr Smith - squash that tension and create some future classics the Smiths and the Cure were at the top of the pile of my 80s/early 90s vinyl
Good interview to be fair to this lady as a Brit i notice when Moz hates the questions and she does a great job here, thanks for a rare interview and hope the album is out soon
Mind blowing to see Rosanna Scotto and Morrissey in the same room much less seeing them both perform a rather polite and informative morning banter on “Good Day New York” (my mouth was open the whole time). Keep in mind that the topics at 9AM are typically along the lines of “Is higher fat content milk chocolate changing the shape of runway models this year at Bryant Park?” I actually think she did a good job making him relaxed and personable, much more so than interviews I’ve seen in the past.
I kind of think he hated it Clear to see the interviewer really doesnt know the smiths work or his legacy well ....or perhaps even if she does it wouldn't really mean much to her . just guessing ...but the interviewees can always perceive this . Certainly this one would
I think Morrissey would've liked the question of higher fat content milk chocolate changing the shape of runway models. I'm sure he would've smirked at that one.
A masterclass by Rosanna Scotto in how to chat with someone! She's warm, enthusiastic, encouraging and positive, and genuinely interested in what Moz has to say plus she clearly did her homework. Next time you're at say a dinner party where you have to chat to people deploy her techniques.

Great interview. Just saw him in Orlando and his voice is still great. I’ve seen him three times now in concert through out the years and already looking forward to the fourth time.
He might perform when on stage, but never in interviews... always honest and authentic. It's funny how unenthusiastic and cold he might seem at first for the uninitiated but Rosanna knew how to handle him and brought warmth and humour out of him. Good interview!
What a gorgeously warm interview! Morrissey deserved this lovely spiritual hug for all his hard work + dedication. Gorgeous! I pray, pray, pray I get to be on the front row at your next tour as illness forced me to sell my ticket, but I am dedicating the moral fight I am currently amidst in your name Morrissey! (Which of course is my Divine canine companion’s middle name too.) WE LOVE YOU! X 💖 this has started my day perfectly
Absolutely not. In Great Britain he's very influential; even current day. He's so quintessentially English eccentric. With regard to Smiths songwriting, that would be Johnny Marr. Morrissey the lyrics. Regards from Kensington and Chelsea; in London.
@@steffanhoffmann I agree. he is influential but again as I stated nothing near what he should be given his years of writing excellent music. Even in England he is not as influential as most artists sadly. Yes most musicians give him praise (Noel Gallagher etc) and people know of him and hood the smiths as one od the best bands of all time but given how many years he has been putting out top quality music, he is still not where he should be. I wish he would get the full recognition he deserves. Also, while marr wrote the music to smiths songs just like street, white, etc wrote the music to Morrissey songs, the melody and lyrics has been morrissey and while yes the chord prorgression of morrissey songs and Marrs guitar playing is held as one of the best guitarists of all time, morrissey ability to write lyrics and the melody is by far most important since he has proven to create quality music with various different musicians. Reminder that most people Judge a song by the melody and lyrics not by chord profession. He is not just a lyricist. Best wishes to you.
@@mrjelly5718 I agree with most of it, except melody chord progression. To my knowledge, he doesn't play a musical instrument. Even in the Smiths video of How Soon Is Now, he can be seen with Marr, who is showing him; where to put his hands on the fret. So unless you can convince me otherwise, I'm afraid we'll have to agree to differ.
They're world's apart politically - Waters is involved, Moz isn't interested (he says) - but attempts to cancel them have failed miserably (thankfk)@ayyleeuz4892
@@ValeriaCarranza24 Because his political views are dangerous to the elites. Why do you think nobody will associate with him any more? The elites have made him persona non grata. No record deals, no publicity, nothing really.
Usually can't stand interviews because the interviewer keeps interrupting, or asks stupid questions. I think this lady did fine. She listened to the answers, and Morrissey grew comfortable enough to get cheeky with that assassination bit. Nice to see.
My younger brother was a fan from the 1st Smiths single onwards; took me a few years before I changed from loathing to loving his lyrics and voice. I'm old, in my 7th decade; barely a day goes by without finding myself singing some Smiths or Morrissey song to myself
I never really got into "The Smiths" but just listening to him for the first time in an interview. Comes across as a very nice guy. No doubt very talented.
A remarkably easy listen - sometimes I cringe ecstatically when I watch this delight of a man in an interview :D So glad people are starting to get him and know how to meet him with perfect balance xx Bravo Rosanna ! Bravo Mozzzzaaaa xxx
Moz just being himself , a little melodramatic and lots of tongue in cheek. The part on his song writing process is unheard of to my knowledge. Far away from those click- bait titles, Morrissey is always entertaining or profound or both at the same time. You are the greatest!!
Been a fan since I was in high school in Springfield MO in 1987. I can't even begin to explain this man's impact on my life. I have dragged my kids to his concerts. Flown then across the world to see him, Including the Broadway stint in 2019. I have even met and hung out with Johnny Marr (who despises Morrissey and considers Morrissey's mom even more of a "fascist" than the man himself). And in all of my research, my travels and my journeys -- including all the adorable '80s BBC interviews we are lucky enough to get to access online now -- this was by far the most disarmingly casual, humble and sweet interview I've found. It sure helps to be neutral when interviewing such a polarizing figure. This little lady did not have a dog in the race. And that made it a perfect moment.
Morrissey writes the Lyrics, Other people write the music, which he chooses to use...Alain Whyte, Johnny Marr, Boz Boorer, Jesse Tobias, etc. A fantastic way to come up with songs.
I think she did a great job with him. I see people saying she didn't know much about him, but I feel the opposite. I think she knows exactly who he is and is quite a fan of his
I am guessing that it is more than likely she did not know a great deal about Morrissey or his career. The variety of guests and topics appearing on a show like that makes it impossible for a host to be up on the facts of everyone and everything they talk about. Sometimes a host will make the fact that everything they claim to know was literally handed to them five minutes before the interview so obvious that it's embarrassing but this woman was actually very good at making things seem natural.
So much to say about morrisseys personality, how people like to cancel his views rather than consider. He is who he is, he doesn’t pander to the public. I just think his musical legacy is remarkable.
Morrissey absolute legend..got to say Morrissey interviewed very well here which is a rarity as usually he gets very awkward when answering questions..got to say though FairPlay to the interviewer Morrissey seemed very relaxed with her ..which again is very rare..but of course Morrissey couldn’t help but put a bit of an awkward moment in when he mentioned about being assassinated 😂
he’s so well spoken and kind, it’s such a shame how much people misunderstand and hate this man. he inspires me everyday and i probably wouldn’t be here without his music.
Most people are very stupid so it's best not to dwell on Trump or Brexit supporters
Amen
We hate him because he’s a far right tosser. He’s a joke. Ask Johnny Marr
That's going to inevitably happen when you're Morrissey and much of your audience is on the left but you also support Brexit and UKIP.

Whatever you say about Moz, he's one of the LAST genuine artists on the planet
Morrisey
Geddy Lee
I think she did a great job with him. I see people saying she didn't know much about him, but I feel the opposite. I think she knows exactly who he is and is quite a fan of his
I am guessing that it is more than likely she did not know a great deal about Morrissey or his career. The variety of guests and topics appearing on a show like that makes it impossible for a host to be up on the facts of everyone and everything they talk about. Sometimes a host will make the fact that everything they claim to know was literally handed to them five minutes before the interview so obvious that it's embarrassing but this woman was actually very good at making things seem natural.
Morrissey - Bengali in platforms ....... So relevant in NYC..... Shelve your western plans .... beautiful
So much to say about morrisseys personality, how people like to cancel his views rather than consider. He is who he is, he doesn’t pander to the public. I just think his musical legacy is remarkable.
Also highly amusing but his humour goes over most plebs heads😅
Ladies & gentleman the legend that is Morrisey !!
A brave and noble man, God bless Morrissey!
She was great with him, maybe the best Morrissey interview I've ever seen.
What a wonderful interview! Thank you for posting! Love you Moz! ❤
❤ LOVE from Croatia to Morrissey
he hasn't changed a bit, one of those constants in your world.
He's on top form here. Love you Morrissey ❤
Just an honest man. Was lucky enough to see The Smiths in my youth.
i love this man
I love this man. I just do.
You can palpably feel the wall that exists between him and other people. It's there in his tone and body language.
He's in great form here. Nice to see.
Morrissey absolute legend..got to say Morrissey interviewed very well here which is a rarity as usually he gets very awkward when answering questions..got to say though FairPlay to the interviewer Morrissey seemed very relaxed with her ..which again is very rare..but of course Morrissey couldn’t help but put a bit of an awkward moment in when he mentioned about being assassinated 😂
I thought it was really hilarious when he said that. This interview was perfect.
The smiths were an iconic band ..short lived .. but will live on forever ..
Pretty sure the interviewer has absolutely no idea who Morrissey is, but it’s a surprisingly revealing interview.
Didn't get that impression. But if it caused her to do a bit of research beforehand, I can't help but think she liked what she heard.
I’d love to see an interview of him by a competent interviewer… like a real music fan.
Rick Beato
I think this lady did a pretty good job here. Much better than I was expecting.
@goodtogo2876. Good call! 👏
I would love to hear that! Two great musicians just chewing the fat 😊✌
Rick Beato is just a music RUclipsr and in no way near the same league as Morrisey is as a creative songwriter icon @@ChorltonandtheWheelies
At least he finally did a new interview with somebody who isn't Fiona Dodwell or Sam Etsy Rayner.
I love you Morrissey
