Majandra’s AOL Live Chat Transcript

Thanks to Kylie for sending this in!

Question: Will anyone die or anyone new joing the cast this season?
Majandra: There’s Adam Rodriguez joining and no deaths that I know of.

Question: Were you surprised to learn there would be a third season?
Majandra: I tried not to think about it.

Question: Majandra~ I was just wondering, do you think that the UPN atmosphere is different from the WB atmosphere? If so, why?
Majandra: The UPN is a lot more supportive of creativity. Especially more supportive of Jason Katims. The UPN has also welcomed us in a very fantastic sort of way without any complaints. Which in my opinion is a wonderful thing.

Question: How is this season different?
Majandra: This season it will be a lot more like season one because the WB wasn’t on top of us during season one so with the UPN’s support they’re going to let us go back to that.

Question: Which is more important to you: acting or singing?
Majandra: Acting is a cool job, but singing is the most important. Not singing, but writing songs and getting to sing them.

Question: Will you get a chance to sing on the show this season?
Majandra: Unfortunately yes. I’m not a big fan of being just a voice to someone else’s songs. And I’m also not a fan of lending a song that I wrote to a person other than myself. Which would be the character that I play. So I tend to feel a little too much like a puppet. But, God bless Mariah Carey.

Question: When are you coming out with a CD of your music? I just love your songs, I listen to them all the time.
Majandra: They’re coming on Halloween. You can buy them at Majandra.com. www.Majandra.com

Question: From what I’ve heard of your music (which I love and am waiting for the CD), it is very personal. How do you feel about letting out so much of yourself become publc and up for criticism?
Majandra: I think it is worst to be put to the public as another character in someone else’s clothing as another role model than putting yourself out there as you are.

Question: Hi I’m Luke from England. Do you plans to release songs in England and the rest of Europe? I know you will be successful here because Roswell is so popular in Britain.
Majandra: Everyone around the world will be able to buy my CD online.

Question: What is the CD called?
Majandra: So far it is untitled, but I think it will be called ‘the sicks’

Question: Wat kind of music do u like? do like rock and which bands?
Majandra: I like portis head and nine inch nails and Bjork and the Beatles… and the list goes on!

Question: How would you describe your music?
Majandra: I would describe it as influenced by the people I mentioned, but I’ll leave it up to everyone else to categorize it.

Question: What is your favorites quote from any episode of Roswell, either one you’ve said or someone else..? -Jessica-TN
Majandra: ‘Topolsky’s a plant’ Because it is funny to me and it always sounded like they meant that she was an actual plant in a planter.

Question: Are we going to see more of Maria and Michael’s relationship?
Majandra: There’s not a lot of Maria and Michael period. This has been more of a Isabelle season.

Question: What do you want to do with yourself next? If you singing career flourishes will you leave acting?
Majandra: Yes. Yes, I would focus on singing as much as possible and would still love to take roles that, in my opinion, are great.

Question: Hey Majandra! I love all your songs and your voice is awesome. I just wanted to ask you what you do when your not filing Roswell?
Majandra: I got to whittier and work on my CD.

Question: Were you more of the geek or of the popular group in school?
Majandra: I went to really great school that being popular just meant you were But I was definitely on the popular side but rarely ever attended school. I had a family that believed that sleep in the most important thing so that’s what I was doing.

Question: Majandra, I was wondering if you had any pets? Cats, dogs?
Majandra: I have a pet, but it’s a human being.

Question: Hi Majandra, do you get recognized a Lot in pubLic? And if so, then have you had any weird encounters?
Majandra: I have weird internet encounters. But, in person nobody ever recognizes me. I will be out with a co-star and they will get asked for their autograph and they will start talking about my character right in front of me not even realizing.

Question: How did you happen upon the role for the Learning Curve?
Majandra: I was 16 and auditioned for it. I thought it was a funny role because the character was a sell out. The kind of singer that I myself despise.

Question: That’s sad- but if I were there, I would recognize you, i swear! I was wondering, do you get to keep the cLothes from the RosweLL set? They’re cooL!
Majandra: I could but I don’t necessarily want to.

Question: Hi Majandra–what do you admire most about your character?
Majandra: I would say I admire her persistance and anybody who can put up with Michael has some sort of amazing tolerance!

Question: So, having both a musical and acting careet.. if you had to give advice for any “fame” hopefuls, what would you say?
Majandra: Don’t get into it for the fame and if it is the craft you are interested in, you better be a person who handles rejection well. Because after you get a job, you’ll start to see how kids get on the internet and talk bad about you. So rejection is the reoccuring theme.

Question: Anything you can tell us about tonight’s ep that won’t give too much away? ;)
Majandra: It is very dangerous, there’s a lot of changes and people are really starting to become the fickle teenagers we all were once upon a time.
