Discussion re Name
Has she always been
]- As far as I can tell from her website, her band is called "India.Arie", and her name is India Arie. -- :Karada 12:19, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Media:kjjkname, so I am going to make the change. Her bad does not have a name. I've been to 4 of her shows & they do not have an official name. She introduces her band one by one by their names(Kerisha, Blue, Shannon; also Tony H but he has since left). Hope this helps. lilkunta| 11:29, 4 June 2006(EST)
Her real name is India Arie Simpson (Unsigned comment)
Maybe one of her fans can indicate if "India.Arie" is pronounced any different from "India Arie"... I wonder where this community draws the line regarding "creative" name spellings. Seems just randomly inserting an arbitrary and silent punctuation mark is pretty silly. 74.192.137.84 (talk) 04:38, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Commercial Language
"Sidestepping all the devices of flavor-of-the-month record-making, Acoustic Soul acquainted listeners with a brave and eloquent new voice. The album drew an uncommonly broad swath of listeners from lovers of hip hop, neo soul, blues, folk, and classic troubadour-style singer-songwriter, all at once." sounds like a commercial. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmcw (talk • contribs) 22:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
What type of voice does she have? sounds like lyrics mezzo till lyric alto (in between) to me - but I haven`t found any link about her voicetype. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.218.215.176 (talk) 20:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Photos in articles
The article as I saw it today had several problems. The biggest glaring one was the over-abundance and excess size of the photos, which are part of my specialty on the Wikipedia. They are to be used with a clear, fairly recent photo in the infobox, and additional photos should appear chronologically down, and reflect what was in the text. I didn't really see the photos reflecting a point made with a reference to back the text, too. I resized the pics, and eliminated one, per

Removed categories as record producer
Her categories include record producer-related but there are no citations or information provided to verify her experience as a record producer. Being a recording artist is not the same as the title "record producer".
If she does have experience/credits as a record producer, please re-write it into the article with citations. If she was co-producer on her albums, please designate as such (with citations). Actaudio (talk) 06:41, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
What about Blue Miller?
Blue Miller was her first producer. He recordad her first cassette tape, as she told in her concert in Java 2014. Blue Mille passed away in 2018. I think he deserves a little recognition. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donguijote (talk • contribs) 22:27, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
