And because I’m an Indonesian I’d like to ask you 3 questions, some of it in Indonesian.
Come on, do you even Anggun reads this, for real?
Hiya Guys,
why this forum turned to be a place for people to argue each other. That’s what happened if we mixed art, music and culture. I don’t think it’s right to mention somebody in disgusting way. Look, we are all Indonesian, we should have supported Anggun AND we, those who like her musics, are NOT supposed to argue each other.
Everybody are entitled to their opinions.
I’d like to say To Mohammed Khafi Very good English! I like the way you wrote it. Potterfield, good thinking of saying. Fortunately, there are artists like Anggun to change the world with their manner. So Inge. Nothing to argue about religions cause it will only lead to fights. Inge, everybody has their different ideas but it’s all up to Anggun whatever she wants to do. I have Christian parents in law but we never argued anything about religion since we respect what we believe. You know Inge, whatever critics people put on here it’s merely because those people love Anggun. Nobody knows whether she read this or NOT. I don’t think Anggun ,if she ever read this, will get offended because I said topless photograph was not right. I believe she know about ‘people are entitled to their opinions’. I will answer inge’s question if anybody Or may be Hasan.

Inge said..whether anybody had any chance to travel overseas ….I did! In fact I am currently living in Thailand and I lived in Uk before Thailand. It doesn’t mean if live in other country we have to be like them. It’s nice to be in another country with our own culture and tradition. Some of my thai friends admired of what I brought from Indonesia things, the way of living etc as well as in England. So I don’t think Hasan needs to move to Arab country cause you still can live in Indonesia with your way of thoughts. You can be tolerant or intolerant person to quote what Potterfield said.
And it’s all up to Anggun what she wants to be and what she wants to do.
Keep singing beautiful songs with your beautiful voice, ANGGUN!
Hi there, love Anggun’s music by the way. Really makes her fellow countrymen/woman proud.
While we’re at it, I don’t really think the whole “I WANNA LOOK LIKE ANYTHING I WANNA LOOK LIKE” thing should be given too much attention, yes, enough attention to actually “CONSTRICT” it.
Let your friend wear anything they want to wear. If someone has a beautiful hair, and wants to show it, THEN SHOW IT !!! Not everyone has nice hair, it should be considered a blessing to have it.
Then something terrible happens, raped for example. Instead of calming her, hypocrites from all around the nation blame her for what has happened to her. WHAT ?? What did that girl do ?? She was only trying to EXPRESS HERSELF !!!
Then whose fault is it ?? The dude with the DIRTY MIND.
That’s what we need, a good, strong, deep, morale education for the young. Not some “EVERYONE HAS TO WEAR VEILS” bill that applies to whole nation !!!
With decent knowledge of feminime dignity and religion, one wouldn’t go to mall in a G-String, right ?? Or rape the first lady one sees in sight ?? NO!
There’s absolutly NOTHING WRONG with that long black hair/lean bod/long legs/ARROUSING smile. WHAT’S WRONG IS IN YOUR MIND, buddy !!
Hello semua,
Apa khabar?
I’m Shaiful from Malaysia and I am one of Anggun’s die-hard fan (kalo di Malaysia dibilang kipas susah mati :p)! I’ve listened to her songs since 14 starting with Neige au Sahara that my friend accidentally bought for me on his trip to Paris. She has this haunting voice that you can’t find on any Malaysian artist.
To me Anggun epitomizes the modern Asian woman - well-traveled, diverse in knowledge and stay true to herself and her culture. I truly dislike Malaysian artists except for Camelia and Ning Baizura because they are afraid to open up like Anggun. I mean apart from getting half-naked on the magazine that is
If only Malaysian artists could be just like Anggun then dominating the world music chart won’t be a problem. And sorry to say this, like Anggun, I also believe that the Anti-Porn law thing is simply sucks!
I do not agree with you Anggun, I like most of your songs though. If we open our body it does not mean that we are not frustated. Being modern mowen it’s not always show your shiny leg, amazing body etc but more what you have in your mind. I am moslem and cover my body, still I am modern women in America. I am proud to be moslem-Indonesian American. So it does not mean if we cover our body we are frustated or closed-minded or whatever you call it. I cover my body ‘coz I know why I do it, I know where I am going to and to whom I am back.
Everybody has right to speak out here. So please don’t shut them down. It’s absolutely true, that faith is only between you and GOD. None of your business.
And faith is something that can’t be forced to someone else’s mind. So, don’t waste your time arguing over this matter.
One thing that i believe, everybody likes Anggun! She has the quality and it says all.
Cheers!
Hi there everybody
I like what Anggun’s said in her In Your Minds Lyrics, like it very much so I take this song for my subjects / theses in my bachelor degrees about gender representation in this song.
The lyrics strike me because its like a “sindiran” or we can say “wake up call” (cmiiw) for me to realize that its more than just “long hair, nice body n etc” in a women.
The main point I think its Anggun its practicing her freedom of speech
Respect other people, so they can respect you.
I like her way of thinking, she’s inspire me and some of my friend.
Anggun, I love u So Much More…
I am very happy to heard your voice…
I am your big fans…
Be luck and Sucessfully…
Anggun is beauty lady and so on with her voice. I’m proud because she is from indonesia. Not many indonesian singer can do like Anggun.

Hi Anggun,
I like your songs very much. You are so talented!
I think your decision to stay in France is exactly right, because if you want to develop your career the best way is going to another country. First reason is Indonesia will proud of you. Second reason is Indonesia has too many rules that “block” you, it must be so hard for you. I read about your experience in Kick Andy. I think you choose a good decision to leave Indonesia, although it must be so hard for you to leave your family too. Success always for your career, and if you have time to reply me, please send me the lyrics of your new song. Thanks a lot.
I LOVE ANGGUN… ISN’T SHE IS MOSLEM??
I hope she don’t forget and always still pray to allah.
Oh…my God. I have found the best singer in indonesia who has take the name of indonesia to the world. I really like anggun’s voice. She has good talents. So I never accept if there is one say that anggun is not properly came to her born country.
