Gloria will be with us in just a few moments. sit tight and keep punching in those questions!

Stephanie from The Netherlands
Will you ever re-release those 'early' MSM albums from the 70's & 80's?

Gloria
Yes, we are remastering those albums so a boxed set by Christmas maybe

Ernie Beattie from Belgium

When will you release another English Speaking album?

Gloria
Right after this one - not right after but the next album after this will be in English. I already know what it will be - a surprise.

Christo Taskov from Bulgaria, Eastern Europe
Dearest Gloria, I`m a little bit nervous to ask you a question but anyway here it goes: "Have you recorded French versions of your marvellous ballads HWIF and DLTME?"

Gloria
Mmmm - not of the ballads. We did two songs in French from the Gloria album but I would love to because I studied French in High School and University

Jeff Moors from Washington, DC USA
How important are dance remixes to your songs and how much input do you give in the remixing process?

Gloria
We've been very fortunate with the dance market from the beginning. The dance market in Europe was how we became popular internationally. Dr Beat in 1984 - I give total freedom to the remixers because that is their bag

Mike from Geneva
Whould you consider recording an album of duets? And who would you like to duet with?

Gloria
Mmm. I've had the luck to record with Celia Cruz and Jose Feliciano on this album - I love working with others because you always come up with something fresh so we'll see

Daniel Lee from Stratford, London
Apart from other artistes, what else inspires your music?

Gloria
Life in general. Emotions, relationships and nature

Giannatos George from Athens, Greece
Having seen all the success of other Latin artist (such as R.Martin, E.Iglesias, J.Lopez etc) haven't you felt proud that all this buzz started years ago with you, when you first made Latin music popular?

Gloria
Wow - I'm honoured that people would consider me in that category. I thank Carlos Santana and Feliciano for being there before we were

Nick Blazer from Georgia, USA
Hi Gloria, how many Music Videos do you plan to do for the Alma Caribena Album?

Gloria
Mmm - at least three possibly four.

Jimbob from Islington
How many languages can you speak?

Gloria
English and Spanish fluently then with some progress I can be fluent in French and I understand Portuguese

Colleen from NJ USA
You've said Emilio is the shopper of the family,but who cry's first at a said movie?.

Gloria
We both cry. We saw ET and we cried and saw it again and promised each other not to but we cried. That one and Homeward Bound, a cat and dog movie

Stephen Pettitt (Conga Member!) from Maidstone, UK
Is "Como..." going to be released as a single?

Gloria
Como Me Duele Perderte will be the next single except in Mexico where it will be the theme to a big soap opera 'Por Un Beso'

Michael Morillo from Australia
Are there any artists whose music you are really enjoying at the moment?

Gloria
So many. Let me think. I have very eclectic tastes in music so many artists world wide. Brazilian music at the moment

Gloria
My family.

Jodi Gee from Conneaut Lake, PA

Travel only on vacation! That's what I would like to do

Jason A Frasier from Topeka, KS

Gloria
I wanted to sheer off all my old eneregy when 2000 came around and your hair tends to hold on to those life experiences

Christine Edwards from England

I imagine it will be aired world wide eventually. That is our plan at least.

Debbie from Holland

Couscous from caribbean
Did you have fun co-hosting the rosie o'donnell show & would you like to do it again??

Gloria
I loved hosting Rosie. It was a lot of fun but I respect people very much who do this type of thing day in day out. It's fun for once or twice.

Thank you everyone for always being there for me. I hope you like this new work as much as I loved and enjoyed making it for you. An especial hello to my Conga fans.
