I could gush over Alesha nonstop. I'm in America and. love her from BGT and wanted to know more about her. She is beautiful, funny and very wise. Alesha is definitely a role model for all of us. Love her even more. Hugs and blessings to all. ♥

I thought I'd have this playing in the background as I got on with my work, but with Dotty's interviewing skillzzzzzz and Aleisha, being Aleisha... honest, transparent and more, I had to stop typing and just be focused as I watched the interview. LOVED THIS. Love Dotty... and love Aleisha #goodpeoples

[@fjm2099]

What a legend! Glad she is getting her flowers! Everything happens for a reason and look at the way things turned out! So happy for her, loved this interview!

[@Chrisojo]

Huge fan of Mis-Teeq and was so sad when they split up but didn’t know Alesha was unhappy so I’m glad she did what was best for her. She’s a legend 🥰

[@natashamamotko8829]

She is so real, honest, wise, funny. Really special

[@danvejorcon]

14:07 I shed a tear for her. This girls parents should be extremely proud

[@kevintaylor7191]

Alesha Dixon is just phenomenal! Intelligent, beautiful, strong. I felt some of the pains she expressed. I admire her tremendously!

[@sophiemarie4241]

Amazing interview. Love Alesha, she's so likeable and deserves all the success. Great interviewer too!

[@terryschleuse4134]

She is such a classy young lady,I love her.

[@aaronjoseph9018]

She is very genuine this interview has made my day 🙂

[@adambronz]

Was surfing some old school music videos and then stumbled upon this gem. Follow your own compass! Love it.

[@reneerobinson5273]

Can Aleisha please be my mentor!!! She is so wise. She should do a mentorship program for young black girls

[@frenchgirluk]

Even for older women as well

[@jpurple1149]

the beautiful thing about radio is that the listener has no idea what you look like. it's the musical content that is being judged and nothing else. the way that it should be. mis-teeq clearly had the talent from day 1. 'all i want' is my fav :)

[@iampause]

Alesha said the same thing as Mariama Goodman from the Honeyz; "I love my job, but if I'm not happy - then I'm not liking my life. So I had to walk away."

[@faizanb4530]

This was such a good interview. Alesha is fab

[@bradfrank7645]

loved this interview. dotty, this was a masterclass in interviewing!

[@user-cf4ug5dy8i]

Awesome interview. Alesha is a legendary artist and a beautiful human. I love the fact that she didn't pretend like she's at the end of her development, and got everything worked out. We keep on figuring stuff out, constantly. It's a never-ending journey.

[@hazelaquino2523]

Love Alesha, cutest laugh evah! 🥰😍

[@MsKoolcat09]

Great interview. Never seen Alesha this open before x

[@gentzfitness5449]

"When I was a kid I didn't have mental freedom I had a lot of concerns and worries "

[@channel_wavy]

The "Be With Me" rap will forever be remembered

[@rpt233]

Alesha has always come across as very genuine and real this interview was great very insightful its great to hear the truth from her rather than stuff you read on a newspaper or a source

[@munyaokioko4362]

being black is so special.....press like

[@clementmachelesen]

❤❤❤

[@ladyf5217]

Alesha is so beautiful inside and outside 🥰

[@susangoebel9934]

So totally agree. It's not very often you come àccross a person like this. Very humble and gracious. Hope she doesn't leave bgt. I will quit watching. Maybe they should get rid of Simon Cowel. He can totally ruin that show sometimes. God bless you.

[@johnturner8654]

No way is she 42

[@NicoleQuinn]

She still looks 21😅 put most youngers to shame lol

[@AmbiguousMotion]

So little about her plans, her views, her path of career (how did she even get to Mis - Teeq, when did she learn to sing so great, and so on). All the time about black, black this, black that.

[@ninny6296]

I do not care the color of her skin. Alisha is a talented, beautiful woman. Please do not make this about color. She is such a BEAUTIFUL talented woman. Also, she is such an inspiration

[@dawncampbell1284]

Sorry but colour has EVERYTHING to do with it! If you can’t see that then you are deluded!
