I'm sure there are people out there who belive Miss Stone has some genuine talent (Christina Aguilera sang her praises, as I recall), but it seems she is very much in the mould of Avril Lavigne and Billie Piper, using her innate stupidity to win people's hearts. Today's classics from our Joss on a CD:UK interview with Cat Deeley included a vacuous look of shock at the news that Busted had split (only three weeks out, love), and her confession that she doesn't know how to sing. Bless. Still not quite as nauseous as her BandAid 20 sobbing, nor of course her oh so funny confusion at whether Bob's surname was Geldof or Gandalf. Oh how I laughed.

I knew it! I always knew it! I can't sing for toffee or any other tasty confections for that matter, however, I can do a pretty mean "Joss Stone". It's just all excessive souling.

She has been out of country for several weeks - hence busted. I thought it was great when she said 'I'll get over it' in a mock tone sort of voice!
As with regards to the singing, all she said was before hand she had had no formal singing lessons and had taught herself. Now she is having lessons she is learning to get more from her amazing voice!
I don't see this as an excuse to lay into her!

My favourite bit of band aid20 was the end: then I'd turn it up and "Joss Stone it" singing ad libs at the top of my voice. So I have to disagree F & A (although I salute your choice of avatar) because she can sing in my opinion. - despite being generally a wanker.

Wait til the Joss fans get wind of this. It could be like the Matt Jay/Lee Ryan etc fiascoes all over again. Her fan base is now full of person-less-rich-and-brilliant-than-me s (and me!). I liked her better when no-one liked her.
I don't think anyone can listen to a Joss Stone record and deny that she can sing. I can understand that it may not be everyone's cup of tea - but there's no doubt she can sing.

Maybe this thread will degenerate into the farce of the I Hate Lulu post. Marvellous. Anyhoo, my original comment about Miss Stone was not that she couldn't sing, but that she said she couldn't sing. I do think she has a distinctive voice - it's just such a shame that that voice has been given to such a shit-for-brains wanker.

I like her. She didn't say she couldn't sing, she said she hasn't had singing lessons. For one so young, you can not deny that she can sing. She comes across as a bit dim, but that's all part of the appeal.

I always knew she couldn't sing- she sounds horrendous. I was under the impression though, that she may have been a bit more intelligent than a shovel but I suppose when you are riding on the crest of a pop wave and everyone loves you for being cool, intellect isn't really something you will ever need.

She didn't say she couldn't sing "I don't really know how to sing. I really don't know how to sing at all."Shame on me for misinterpreting this as 'Joss Stone admits she can't sing.'

I don't think anyone can listen to a Joss Stone record and deny that she can sing. I can understand that it may not be everyone's cup of tea - but there's no doubt she can sing. i can and i did - i bought the first album on the merits of the cover art (i still stand by the jukebox tracklisting on the back being one of the best things i've ever seen, even if it does add to the allusion that she is a soul talent in the vein of the old greats) and, with the exception of 'fell in love with a boy', there's nothing of any worth on it at all. her voice is horrendous - she's a lauryn hill impersonator at best, and her material leaves a lot to be desired. it wouldn't bother so much, either, if reviewers didn't insist on being so blatantly racist with their 'she's a seventeen year old white girl from some pokey little english town - but she sounds like a black american! that means it's okay to buy her record!' remarks. cheerio!

She's got a good voice, but I don' t think she's a great talent, because she's too vacuous to use her voice properly, or to hold a conversation. She should thank her lucky stars her PR people did such a great job for her, because it means she doesn't have to say anything interesting in interviews, just smile and gush a bit when Cat Deely lists the praise that's been heaped on her by people who have jumped on the band-wagon.
She should have stayed in school longer.

She said she did not know how to sing, not that she could not. There is a subtle difference. She has never been taught so made it up (and sounded great I might add) but now she has been taught, she has seen what she can do with her voice and so can now improve even more. I really don't know why I am bothering with this!

I also do a wicked Joss impersonation. One day out of the blue I belted out a little "but it bears reepeeeetaaanngggggg!" and my friend spewed forth beverage.
Joss is a twit.

But then, if you don't know how to do something then how can you do it?
I don't know how to knit, therefore I cannot knit.
Hmm.

The girl's trying to be too real. First admitting she hates her albums and now this. Its all a bit risque for a major label act.

I don't know how to play guitar. I can play it to a fairly high standard, but I've never been taught. I have three guitars, but if you ask me to play scales or anything like that I'll look at you like you're taking the piss. But I can play guitar.
Tis the same thing.

She is fucking annoying. All that dippy flower child bullshit. I'm sure her and Drew Barrymore would get on swimmingly, except D-Ba doesn't make me want to strangle her with her own kooky' little daisy chain. Also, her voice is basically Kelly Clarkson, drunk, doing a comedy Candi Staton impression.
However, when made up, she has beyatiful feline eyes. Also, compare her to Katie Melua and suddenly she doesn't really seem all that bad.

And sheis a talent show winner! No she didn't win Jane McDonald's 'search for a star'. Maybe, this is why she is so against reality tv winners. Sour grapes? Although I am sure she is doing better now than if she had won

Remember Kathy Burke impersonating Heather Small for a bit in Gimme Gimme Gimme? If it was recorded now, she'd probably have picked the equally ridiculous Joss Stone.
Listening to Joss Stone actually makes me feel physically unwell.

Also, compare her to Katie Melua and suddenly she doesn't really seem all that bad. Apparently Katie Melua went to the same high school as me. It explains her shittiness though as the music department was dire at our school - it consisted of the odd tambourine and those funny keyboards which play a comedy tune that, if I remember correctly, sounded eerily like the theme to The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. Joss Stone vs. Katie Melua - could it possibly be a tie?
