  • i think i just fell in love with this woman.

  • They were annoyed because they missed the opportunity to overcharge her for the various "services" they usually provide during the development of an album, which then give them license to cream off the majority of the profits from its sales before a penny goes to the artist. Well done, Joss!

  • she's so cool

  • The one and only

  • Could she be any cooler? you go girl!!

  • She said in and interview that music should be shared, and that is a great attitude. I liked it so much I am telling my friends about her. I never really heard her music before tho. Metalica on the other hand, has a different fan base. These people are, I would say pirate types. However, Metalica played the poor card and actually got napster shut down. Metalica wasn't poor. Their fans were. By restricting ease of access to their music, they narrowed their own fan base. Short sighted move.

  • @McStewbeef Metallica? Never heard of. Some retro thing?

  • She even said in an interview that piracy was great so more people could listen to her music and go to jam with her at her shows and that music is to be shared with everyone.

  • Meh. "Ok, if I can't decide how I make my music then fine. The money you aren't giving me... is money I never had anyway, so I have nothing to lose."

  • Joss got more balls than Lupe Fiasco tbh.

  • your tune would change if you had to work at burger king to support your art!!!

    how much money do you have?

  • @snowbegone

    I can't seem to locate the comment I posted earlier, but I will reply to this one instead.

    You made a comment about how you are supporting the poor while also putting yourself through the economic system of paid labor. I don't support the capitalist, market economy as it currently is, so when I diss the system, I'm not dissing the people (like you and me) who work within it. I pay taxes too buddy, but I don't fret about it. I believe that we should support each other ...cont....

  • @snowbegone

    cont.... Not the system which doesn't support shared wealth, knowledge and resources. You and I should both be able to contribute to this world without having to work a crap 9 to 5 to prove our worth. It's not right, IMO. This is my belief, if you believe otherwise, you can speak your piece, and I will listen (read).

  • Er, well-- Joss. Wtf are the consequences.

  • Im going to go buy her album and I dont even listen to this genre really

  • Love her unlike other artists she does it for the music not for the money.

  • well the "middle man" (EMI) is pissed because Joss stone showed them they are not necessary.

    because of their idiotic business to label and price single aspect of our life art and music are not accessible to a lot of poor people.

    Music, education, food , water, etc. should be accessible to everyone all over the world to do that it should be free. if the people want can give the artist what they can afford.

    freedom is a world without currency and banks.

  • and If any dears to argue with her , there is her 1.78 tall size ,I love this woman she's so smart,and so talented

  • Its artists with this attitude that make me buy albums.

  • REAL singer! Love you Joss <3

  • Record companies are just the middleman..

  • I alway wondered why she wasn't bigger, Like singing at superbowl halftime. Pretty white girl with amazing voice and all. Well, she wants to do it her way and not do crap music. I think she's OK with not being Beyonce.

  • And then she made her own record label "Sone'd Records", but EMI still owned her previous work, and EMI released a greatest hits album in september 2011. And who knows if this is related but some dudes tried to kill her...

  • Comment removed

  • Joss, if every artist would think like you, there wouldn' t be so much damn crap in te charts.... Bieber, fuck you.

  • I love you Joss

  • of course they were pissed at her, she showed them just how unnecessary they are! way to go, Joss.

  • I remember somone long ago who had the same attitude before he let them "get to him" maybe you might know who that was??????.........Jimi Hendrix......Joss,dont let them get to you,like they did Jimi.She's Great!!!!

  • Real artist!

  • She is so fresh, i love her talking.

  • Amen sister!!!!!!

    

  • Ah Joss stone is soo grounded! Love her music and her style in general

  • this Girl remindes me strongly of a 1971 Bruce Lee interview, she's just speakin  the same Spirit.

  • Considering I've just watched the clip of her presenting an award in fluent (and hideously embarrassing) American at the 2007 Brit awards, I was ready for more hating, but she actually comes across really well here! Just a shame the music's crap!

  • I'm 54 now been into soul music since I was a kid. Joss Stone, you are right in there with the best of them. Love the songs from your albums, "Baby, Baby, Baby", "I've Fallen In Love With You", and my all time favorite "Super Duper Love". Keep on makin' the music from the heart. Singin' from the soul. Hope I can one day catch a live shoe in the USA when you tour here again. God Bless You!

  • good for her..

  • I wish they'd have included clips of tracks from the new album, rather than the old ones. The songs played during this are the type of over-produced crap that she was rebelling against. Colour Me Free is a much better collection of songs.

  • brilliant. 

  • You go girl. I totally agree. Whatever with these record and movie companies. They charge so much money now just to go see concerts and movies at the theatre. I worked at a theatre and I cannot believe the amount of money that goes to the record and movie companies from the ticket sales. Its ridiculous.

  • God...I love this woman. She has it all, beautiful, honest and a voice that puts her above the very singers that she idolizes.

  • Anyone can spout cliches and inane one-liners. Suprised how many people are bowled over by this tripe.

  • Yeah, this chick freaking rocks.

  • This is what makes the music industry so unpredictable (and interesting). You've got young, inexperienced, often naive but also passionate creative people entering into a professional relationship with educated, older, level-headed business executives. Volatile but fun.

  • The consequences being, of course, that no one hears the music anymore and your career is left gasping on indian rug that you've recorded your two-minute album on. I'm not hating but I'd have a bit more time for her these days if I didn't think that everything she comes out with, from these words to her songs, weren't in large part the product of a total weed haze.

  • i love her so much!

    one of the best soul singers!

  • i haven't heard her music yet but came across this video and also the one on her thoughts on piracy and i am now a fan! :)

  • "I don't care what it sounds like, let's just make noises."

    LEGEND. such a good attitude, for a great person.

  • Fat cat label execs can suck it

  • Love her

  • "you have to take freedom."

    words to live by.

    

  • Ugh i rly need Colour Me Free now

  • I didn't really knew her before, but she seems great now.

  • She's sounding a lot like Trent Reznor here (well, not the music itself). That's a good thing.

  • Joss has more love on u tube then any other artist I'm serious no one hates on her I think she is great !

  • she is sooooo chil... LoVE It

  • JOSS IS TOTALLY AMAZING! CAN'T BELIEVE HOW YOUNG SHE IS... YOU GO GIRL!

  • Joss is so insanely talented and has the right idea about lots of things. her type of music isn't what i listen to, but i can see talent!!!!!!!

  • This is the first interview I ever saw with Joss, since first hearing her album years ago. And Joss baby you are beautiful! True, real, pure! You go, girl! <3

  • "Its just wat it is, and i am who i am...andddd im cool with that!!! " Its coz you are fukcn cool.. HONESTLY JOSS you are real!!!

  • this is a real artist right here....fuck what they want you to do...do what you wana do!! n that is why joss isnt a sellout like others!

  • OMG i love that girl! It's just make noises hahaha love love it

  • OMG i love that girl!

  • copyright kills true artists

  • She's who she is and she's cool with that. I'M COOL WITH THAT TOO!

    I LOVE YOU JOSS STONE AND SCREW THE PEOPLE WHO WANT YOU TO MAKE THEM MONEY THEIR WAY. TELL EM TO GO TO HELL. WE LOVE YOU!

  • I love her personality.  She is the sexiest women alive in my book.

  • If they didn't like it fuck'em. I will wager none of them can sing liker her. Sell it out of trunks if you have to. Why do they get to decide what music is?

  • Now does everyone understand that it is current issues and managment that tell you what to write and play,,,, suck off management! Musicians take back your art!

  • Go Joss! Colour Me Free is all Joss Stone. Her words, her emotions, it's raw... It's brilliant and EMI are idiots for not supporting her. Sure she should have informed them, but this record is just smashing!

  • got damn she is beautiful

  • @hoodfather516 I can't imagine a single man disagreeing with you!

  • Thanks for the Info BladeAndSoul --- I 'll go and catch a copy.

    And...

    It would be REALLY nice to see the lady do a U.K. tour

  • OH GOD! I LOVE HER!

  • I'll be totally honest with everyone on here& thatI haven't heard her latest album - ( Is that the "Colour me free " one?

    But I heard her Very very first two albums & I'ver got to say that IMO the 1st one was brilliant , and that the 2nd one was excellent. Butthat "Introducing" was

    - after the first two - a real deflated let-down, and I could tell how she being

    'moulded' into some 'product' .

    Is this, now - a long-awated return to form ?

  • @noelpne Colour me free is back to the old joss stone yes.

    And joss now has her own record label and coming out with new album soon i think.

  • U JUST KEEP DOING WHAT U DO JOSS. YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE MATCHES YOU BEAUTIFUL FACE. DONT EVER LOSE HEART.

  • Joss stone is one of the few artists that sings real music(like diana krall, norah jones), shes not a plastic diva like many of these days(lady gaga, rihanna , etc) , i´m glad she´s real and that she make music from her heart, not what the music group wants

  • wow, i love her...that album happened to be my favorite & now i like it even more because she stood up for it...so many artists today are controlled by their "people" i'm really glad she's not :)

  • I think I'm In Love...

  • i love me summ Joss, i swear i do!!!!!!

  • i love me summ Joss, im swear i do!!!!!

  • KEEP DOING YOU AND STAY TRUE TO YOU THAT'S YOUR REAL TALENT

    LOVE YA BABY GIRL

    YOU'LL DO GREAT WITHOUT THE CRAP

  • "you have to take freedom" Joss stone

  • EMI wants to controll everything and so dies Warner Music Group (yes the label that cencors every shit here on youtube even if there is only a 2 second fracture of something that is copyrighted by them. The whole music industry sucks. its all about money, money, money...damn money. love joss and her way she handles things.

  • fuck EMI :) im going to buy her album

  • Legend. Joss Stone's music doesn't really do it for me, but she has the perfect attitude for making it. Fuck record companies.

  • @luke255 Agree!

  • @luke255 I agree about the record companies and her attitude, but My friend told me about her music, I've been listening to her constantly ever since. XD

  • @luke255

    That's exactly what everybody should have in mind for every decision in life! Just GOOO as long as it makes you happy!

  • I think she's great, but she's starting to look like Mariah Carey.

  • she's always the victim of something or another.

    and that's accent's buggin

  • @TCt83067695 So is your failure spelling.

  • Not only can this girl sing but she can also speak for herself. Well said and done Joss Stone. Don't ever let any crap taint your music.

  • Joss' accent ... or rather, accents? I've got a very good ear for accents and hear an original mix of English accents she's inherited from her family origins. There's the Dover accent (where she was born), Devon, where she moved to when she was 9. There's a mix of Essex/East Anglian accents (fishing port accents), Lancashire/Liverpool accents ... with a distinct "Irish-origin" accent. Then International Fame drew in a variety of other accents ending up with the 'Joss Stone Accent'

  • @newtonscat

    RIGHT.

  • love a strong, intelligent woman that knows who she is.

  • Dont believe that ANY music corporation has the interest of any Artist on their books, look at the history, they shape, mould, control, milk, wear out, then dump everyone that is no longer earning them money. Like ANY corporation its ALL about the money.

    Joss is already above this and lets hope that all the other artists follow suit. Its about the music not financial gain. Rock on Joss ;-)

  • Don't ever change... You are an inspiration, the way you are... XXX OOO

  • Sock it to um Darlin, We Love You JOSS not the greedy control mungers, keep on keepin on Beautiful. oxoxo

  • She's so hot.... why does she have to talk with that horrible accent?

  • @Amhlair god i love her accent. i was just gonna say that and i saw ur post. hahaha. anyway she is lovely

  • joss, you R so genuine!!! the real deal. we love you.

    sista you got this brother's vote: "Sweetest on Vinyl"

    scottybroker1

  • Kisses from Turkey Joss. We love your album.

  • keep on being cool joss. I'm cool' and no one is going to say any different.

  • And Joss we all love you for who you are a real soul singer.

  • Colour me free is the best album from her for me, and after finding out what happened between her label and her i have more respect for the album.

  • balls of steel, voice of angel

  • you go girl!!!

  • YAY! MUSIC FROM THE SOUL rather than from "the process." Unfortunately, "the process" is right most the time. But they sometimes miss it! Go, JOSS!

  • I love her for her attitude, for her music, for her voice. She's just so good the way she is! Adorable.

  • Please never change , your music is the best I have heard , keep on doing what you do best and your fan base will expand through the roof, come to Texas and I will be in the front row and I am an old lady, lol. Love your voice, your barefeet, the whole package, keep up the great work.

  • Love you, they can suck it.  Please don't change, because we love you just the way you are. (Best line in any movie) but it fits here perfectly. Your performance with Melissa Etheridge at the Grammy's was the best performance I ever saw, you were supremely fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  • a real artist. fuck all the major record lables. they suck! all they want is making money.

  • best damn legs i's ever seen

  • sick music business O.o

  • @PeteJones100 - if u can't stand her voice, why the fuck did u listen to her video? The video doesn't start itself - YOU PRESSED PLAY!!

  • Man, she`s so beauty...and her voice is soo amazin`. i have one wish....man i would love to sing a song with her !!!!

  • @Neo2906 i agree with pete , she's a good singer buy that american twang when she speaks does my head in , she's up her own arse

  • @santasreal1 I hear a lot of British people say this. But as an American, when I hear her speak, she still sounds more British than American. Especially in this video. People can't really help what accent they speak with, it's usually influenced by the people around them. I think there may be a little resentment behind all of the bitching, but you should just get over the fact that she is an international star and not just a British star.

  • shes fit but i cant stand her voice

  • @PeteJones100 Yeah? Cause you a deaf motherfucker huh Petey?? Fuck you BOOOY go listen to your broke ass Madonna and Lady Gag-Gag cause you can't handle the REAL SHIT!!

  • "Lets just make Noises"..........umm I'd love to "make noises" with Joss..; )

    You go girl dont let the man keep you down.

    Start your own damn record label if they stop you.

    Or go talk to Prince................I believe he has a label of his own.

  • I heard EMI controlled her too much so she wanted to express how she really felt with the songs (without the direction of the record company) and as a result she came out with a really original and amazing :)

  • This album rocks!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love her, and love the album - don't change Joss!

  • "colour me free" was released on my sixteenth birthday, BEST PRSENT EVER! <3

    it would've been such a shame if the label changed anything!! i'm so glad she just went ahead and recorded it without emi interferring... then again, if she'd been the kind of person who would let a label change her music she wouldn't be the one and only joss stone :)

  • A true and amazing person! -3

  • Joss, stay true to yourself and your love for the art of music. Stay soulful and keep it pure. Colour Me Free! is truly a masterpiece. I love that you are an artist who puts out music with depth.

  • And thats why we like Joss Stone =)

  • SHE AWESOME! i agree with her 100% people want you to be who they want you to be and thats not ideal. She sang what she wanted to and that showed her fans who she was as a person. People buy music because we look for something real and not something made to earn money. I believe that she can do WAY better from EMI and she has. I'll keep listening to her music because it has a message and thats what the world needs. :)

  • So amazing on so many levels! Keep doing it your way Joss, it makes us love the real you!!

  • love it!

  • Fine fine fine!

  • whoooohooo!! how cool was that?? coolest!!!

  • Making music for the sake of making music?

    Alright...

  • She is who she is... and the whole planet loves her because of that! You go girl!!!

  • kudos to Joss Stone for doing what she wants to do. Unlike most singers now that are just producer-driven....

  • E M I SUCK! JOSS IS PURE TALENT! THEY CAN WEAR IT! DO 1 JOG ON AND GET A GRIP! WE DONT WANT TO HERE COMMERCIAL MUSIC LADY GA GA IS RUBBISH, DUFFY IS BALLS! RADIO 1 BORING! WE WANT FREE LOVING JAM MUSIC THAT COMES FROM THE HEART! YOU GO GIRL!

  • You got to give it up to Joss to say, Screw you I'm doing this album the way I want it done. If the business ppl are doing their job they'd know how to sales pitch her sound and get it played. but, then again, what do I know I'm just a consumer that enjoys her soulful, funky voice and songs. lol : )

  • She's so sweet... in my opinion she should be much more famous than she is... Love her voice! No Lady Gaga shit... :-)))

  • Right on. The musician makes the music - the label is important also - yes - but they are just a means to an end.

  • your voice are incredible, I don't believed, you are very very very good singer. striking.

    Andina. Chile

  • I hope it is that what you say,but it is hard to belive!Sorry,there is no ..........

  • Good 4 U Joss, don't take that rubbish from those bureaucrats !

  • Fuck EMI they trying to corrupt you! PLEASE STAY TRUE TO YOUR SELF JOSSY!!

  • joss, your accent is somethin out of this world! love u! not only because of it, of course ahahaha

    never stop making music, joss :)!

  • Comment removed

  • i love her soul singing i want a soulful voice i can't wait for vocal training i am so so so ready for it hurry up summer

  • @msransom87 well ur name suits you

  • im just gonna ignore everything else you said and ask what about her talent is mediocre???

  • Joss doesn't need EMI. She should have informed EMI, but it's ridiculous that EMI censored the album art. It might be creative or 'playful', but surely not 'offensive'.

  • I can't not say how happy it makes me that she kept her standards up because Joss is nothing shy of god dam amazing!!! the music industry needs her soul, beauty and swagger!!!

  • love her new album "colour me free"!! it's pure soul! it's sooo joss! keep doing your thing joss!

  • Joss you just keep making those noises , those wonderful beautiful noises, and we will kepp listening.

  • Joss, we LOVED your album! It is exactly what you are, its what we are, its what music is about. Keep on singing your way Joss!!

  • stay true to you joss dont sell yourself shoty your amazing you have the best quality music!!! fuck the haters!!!

  • why would anyone be tired of eher complaining about her reord company they want eher to be "shallow" like other artist she has a true soul and is truly gifted she stands out!! keep up the good work Joss!!! forever a fan!!

  • They should be happy, the album is incredible.

  • lol,love it joss!

  • IS JUST MUSIC!

    why is EMI's always trying to ruin everything? Music is LIFE, NOT A F****** BUSINESS DAMMIT! this people just think in money?

    Joss is amazing and talented, so, she deserves to release "Colour me free"!

    peace love and music*

  • "Joss Stone reveals how her label were annoyed after she recorded latest album 'Colour Me Free' without telling them. "

    Well done joss!

    xoxoxo

  • I love her but I am tired of hearing in every interview about how she doesn't like the record company
