Talk:Xavier Naidoo

   

More about this gifted artist, please.

I have learned virtually nothing about this gifted singer, other than that he is German of Tamil/Indian South African descent. His music has a very spiritual quality to it, and I was wondering if he is Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, or what. I am a new fan and my daughter introduced me to his works through her German teacher.

He makes reference to the christian Bible repeatedly in his works. However, he follows more or less his own very personal interpretation of the texts. Some things, he takes to the extreme while he is very liberal in his attitude on others (you'll find a text that's um, very permissive of the use of marihuana in a hidden part of one of "Soehne Mannheims" albums). However, he's very serious about using his fortune to promote welfare in his home town and to promote young gifted artists and criticises outgrowths of modern society not exactly in line with christian values. --OliverH 21:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

To be brief - he is Catholic --User:tachante 18:36 GMT September 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tachante (talk • contribs) 17:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

If you can read German... http://www.bandsonfire.com/resources/release-presentations/article/xavier-naidoo-alles-kann-besser has some information. 98.198.83.12 (talk) 20:17, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Er he is not Catholic, sang a song which posed as very much the Christian religious song that defamed the Church on 100-times-refuted canards and the like. He would vividly protest against the charge of being Catholic. And I being a Catholic wish him all the best and so hope that one day he'll become one, but given his religious views now, I vividly protest on my part against their being confused with Catholic truth.--2001:A61:20C3:6201:D117:D575:4F38:FBAD (talk) 00:56, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

India?

Why is this article in an indian WikiProject and why can I read several indian categories on the bottom of this discussion page? He's a german singer and hence all that stuff should be something about Germany and german singers rather than India and indian singers. --88.66.1.205 (talk) 17:42, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

He is father is from India! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.175.91.167 (talk) 08:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

His father may be, but he is not! He is not perceived as an indian singer in Germany but rather as a german one. --88.66.8.42 (talk) 03:40, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Political views, etc.

The section on his political views (which could be expanded to: and religious views - no, it is not simply "Christian", though he would perhaps very much claim it) is too brief; so it conveys the idea that he actually "has views", that he is a serious debater who brings this or that position which he did indeed utter (wrong though it be) to the debate. Now that is quite wrong. The actual case is, and a larger picture could give the impression, a rather different one. He is a classical conspiracy theorist, stemming from the fact that apparently he doesn't like our world and is quite ready to believe every slander against it no matter who makes it and what it is about, and perhaps - shall I say it? - from the one or the other marihuana cigarette too much. His positions are in a noticeable number of instances not actually positions (as Lenin's or Hitler's were - despicable though they are), but just utter nonsense. "I know for a certainty that the xth Seal from the Apocalypse was opened in 1993; after all, that was when I began reading the Bible", this was not literal but similar to it, to give an impression. --2001:A61:20C3:6201:D117:D575:4F38:FBAD (talk) 01:05, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
