Media Day: Unpleasant Interviews

[jonesingjay]

It's been a very long time since I've done a media day. Yesterday I was watching a video of Sean, speaking with a French interviewer promoting his album 'Friendly Fire' (it was an old interview) and a performance he was set to do at a small venue

Poor guy. The interviewer handled that badly. Who just sits there while their subject hanging their head in silence?

The interviewer probably felt awkward as hell. I'm the type that is uncomfortable when people just shut down. I don't know what what to do. I probably would've sat there as well.

I'm sure the language barrier combined with shock didn't help the interviewer... what is French for 'whoops' ?

I can understand that outside the context of an interview, but I would expect a journalist to have more experience/training for handling such a situation.

I see where you're coming from, but boy oh boy did that guy look dumbfounded. I'm not familiar with him. I don't know if he's considered a good interviewer or if he has a great deal experience.
