Hey guys!
Kristinia DeBarge here! When I came to the J-14 offices for my first official day as their summer intern, I was chatting with one of the editors Lisa about my fave beauty brands (more on that later, but you can read about the beauty trends that I'm into this summer here! Oo! And the pic above is of me in the J-14 beauty closet -- yeah, that's right, girls, there's a whole WALK-IN CLOSET full of makeup and hair products in the office! Heaven, right?)
Anyways, I couldn't remember the name of the product and apologized for pronouncing it wrong. "Um, aren't people always butchering your name," Lisa interrupted me. "I think it's fair if you butcher someone else's for a change!" Yeeeah! You're right, I thought. Come on people, say it with me: Kris. Ti. Neé. A. Kristinia! Everyone says my name wrong aaaalllll the time! I think the funniest is Kristinira -- like, someone decided my name was so difficult they had to add extra letters onto it to make it even harder!
When I first got signed and was working on my album, the record company wanted me to change my name. L.A. Reid (my boss, a big time music guy who has worked with Pink, Usher, and Ciara!) wanted me to change it, but was like, "you're living with it for the rest of your career, so it has to be what you want." He really loved my middle name Jamie and thought it would totally work as my name, but I couldn't do it! I was like, "Kristinia! That's who I am, that's who I've grown up to be and I'm not gonna change my name!" So I fought for it, and I'm really happy I did. I think Kristinia fits - don't you? :) Has anyone ever asked YOU to change something about yourself? What did you do, did you change or did you stay true to yourself?
Hope you're all having fun in the sun!
xoxo
Kristinia
P.S. Great news before I go! My very first album Exposed (featuring my first single "Goodbye") is out July 28 (ah! that's in less than two weeks). I'll keep you guys updated, and for now you can always download "Goodbye" off of iTunes and check it out on MySpace!
Whoo! 1st comment of the day! :) Haha, I bet people do say Kristinia's name wrong. Sorry Kristinia, but I'm such a big fan of your music and I love Goodbye! Awesome song!
i luv the song goodbye it relates soooo much 2 my life, guys sometimes think that they cn toy wit us nd then wen they leave us we'll be begging for them back
yeah. people want me to change my name to jenny or jennifer. i'm like no! my name is jennA with an A! it will always be! haha.
Ya sorry and don't worry Kristinia its okay people call me Anna, they spell it Hanna but it Hannah it is so stesfull it like its a name how hard can it be!
I can relate to you Kristinia. My name is Leanna. That's Lee- Anna. I get called everything from LeAnn, Leigh, Ann, Anna, etc. I get so used to being called everything but Leanna i don't even try to correct them. Oh well i guess some people are hopeless :)
omggggggg
that always happens to me too! people can never say my name right so they ask if they can call me maddy but i saiy no because it doesnt feel right and i dont like it. its so frustruating sometimes but i learned to live with it.
ps. i love your song goodbye and good luck on your album. i know i will buy it because i think you have such a great voice. god bless!
yeah it has happened 2 me once last year when i was in 7th grade. i had 4 friends, and @ first we were really close. then i had started hanging out with more ppl and 2-3 of them had a problem with it. (out of the 4 friends i had 1 of them was like a queen bee)(not saying names thats rude) but then she confronted me with it saying i shouldnt hang w/ them. & i decided that if they didnt want me 2 have more friends than JUST them, they didnt deserve me. i think it was one of the best decisions ive ever made. sure, we sometimes hang out... but now im happier with who IIII am and i wouldnt change it 4 the world cause my friends, my REAL friends, love me 4 who i am & they wont change me either. :)
I bet some people say your name wrong kristinia. well my name is alyssa people don't say my name wrong. i love your song "goodbye" it's AWESOME! :)
I bet some people say your name wrong kristinia.my name is alyssa some people spell it wrong instead of saying it wrong they sometimes spell it alissa with an i instead of a y. i love your song goodbye it's AWESOME! :)
I cannot believe this is true!
I think its pronounced:
