Paolo Nutini talks about stage fright and smoking pot (2/6) 

Exactly!!

He’s THINKING about what he’s saying rather than just being cool for the interview. That’s what i like about him

haha, you don't get why he never ever ever looks at her, while they have a conversation?

if he was groomed into doing this stuff you mention he wouldnt be him. he is how he is and look how creative he is for it. forget eye contact

eye contact is intimate. some people are not happy with that level of intimacy with strangers. he's clearly quite shy. he is an artist. i don't want some polished, edges taken off corporate slime, that would be contrary to everything he is and stands for.

I noticed that he doesn't make much eye contact too. I have a feeling (and hey it's just me Vibing not an opinion set in stone) but I think that it's because of a combination of reasons : (1) eye contact means connecting to him so he saves that for those he's genuinely connected with or to, on a 'spiritual level' (2) he picks up on people's vibes and body languages, including micro expressions so he saves both himself and the person interviewing him that awkward feeling he could get when reading their body language or tone of voice and (3) he's self conscious but not in a bad way. All round a guy who I believe will make those close to him laugh with his funny jokes which I'm guessing would have a unique twist and also he's very caring about those who he let's into his selective circle. Maybe he's an INFJ too. I also suspect that he's a pretty good judge of character while being able to understand the reasons why there are goods n bads i' what any given person does. Simply he sees the world as or is and has a set of core values which he tends to stick to.

We think so too Colette McKee - perfectly said :)

Still, how would You feel while taking to someone with no eye contact?

Shy. Nothing wrong with that, don’t let people tell you different.

@@Marleen_ENI prefer it

Thx a lot :) We loved that too! And as you said - Paolo and Sarah (our host) got a long really well

I'm jealous she got to meet him, also she's hecka pretty! New subscriber now, cheers!

aww thx Logan Michaelis :) We will tell Sarah that immediately!!

Logan Michaelis Connection without eye contact?!? That's a bit rich!

Harlen Helen It comes off that way, and that's all the really matters.

+Noah McDaniel no it doesn't...

Kaj Sjöqvist It does come off that way. At the least, it can.

It can, but it doesn't really matter. That was my point. Don't mean any offence

Kaj Sjöqvist I would say that the way you come off is pretty important if you care about your own success. Sure, you can blame society, but unless you plan to change society's perspective, you will fall victim to it.

that's interesting to know thanks 😊

girl me too!!

thank you ***** :) It was such a pleasure to interview him and it was a super easy-going interview...he is really, really nice

😅😅😅

I fundamentally disagree with your statement. I wouldn't wish that upon him, and I'm American myself.

@@mave143 You sure did take your own sweet time to fundamentally disagree with my post. That was three years ago. But I still stand my statement. The Scot would benefit from American producers. Keep in mind he hasn't put out anything substantial in years.

@@RoughRider757 he released an album last year.

@@mave143 Wow I never knew.

This could certainly be one of the reasons jumeau1

Jumeau it's nice reading your comment. You took the time to try and understand. 😊

Very accurate from experience!

ayyye me too

@@mave143 let’s get married? Lmaooo

@@Harveygregorxotwod boy you proposed last time ya got stoned 😂

@@mave143 ahahahahahahah that’s funny

Paolo Nutini is an amazing artist! You will love his music :) He might be a bit shy...but we can assure you - after the interview he had eye contact with your host Sarah :) Have you checked out his live performance? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_qhzb2-6ZQM.html

Stars at joiz I have and your right he is a great artist. I can understand being shy, it often is misread as something else. I should of known better because like I said I am new to his music.

No worries ***** :) It is good to hear that you enjoy his music

Maybe he tried to stay focused :P

a lot of people (myself included) find it far easier to listen and focus and think of what you *actually* want to say in reply to a question when they are not holding eye contact. (A lot of other cultures actually support this as well, btw) He's quite obviously looking inwardly to form his answers. Nothing wrong with that IMO, and better than forced 'charm' when you're not feeling it. The interview was fine whatever... let him be! ;-)

giseerouchon im the same too

You nailed it. He’s high enough that her face would bug him out. Even though she’s very beautiful. He is focusing on his thoughts, her questions, and his answers

Paolo seems to be a bit shy ;)

Think he was tired or hungover? Interviewer was very relaxed with him. Not easy to relax with a tv camera in your face, i can assure you.

Heroin ruins talent. Let's not be dramatic.

It's only respectful in some cultures- in others it's downright rude. A lot of people have problems with holding eye contact- why does it have to be a big deal?

Sarah I think he does at the end of this segment and in the next one when he is talking about the paper who called him paolo fatini and how he stuck up a image of rocky to get fit...I think once he is made feel comfortable he looks more at her..I think overall. .imo

in my culture it is rude not to make eye contact. it means you have something to hide.. and who said it was a big deal?.. i just made an honest statement as i see it

I think it's far more respectful to be understanding than to give someone eye contact. So many people have aced the ability to converse using eye contact without truly respecting or worse yet understanding their listener. People who feel understood see that and make contact. Not that he didn't feel respected or understood in this interview but for us, we the viewers, it couldn't hurt to extend some understanding to a man who none of us know. All we know is some of his music and that he's extremely talented and gifted and d'you know what sometimes that's enough.

Why depressed? Didn't seem that way to me- just thoughtful..

Not depressed maybe just fed up doing interviews time after time.
