Joss IS one of a kind. There are many Great artists, Not as many Fabulous artists, and even fewer that were just simply born to do what they do. THIS little girl was born to do what she does. I agree with IDOTAMAS statement from 2months ago. Why do people have the need to be negative and rude.....If something isn't your cup of tea, move on! Nobody's forcing you to listen!
As a 47 yr old white woman who grew up on "Mowtown", I understand and Respect her trailblazing talent!
David Byrne is not american, he is scottish, and Brian Eno has nothing to do with that song. This song was written only by David Byrne and released in his 1994 self titled solo album.
I wonder how many of you bashing Joss Stone are actually Artists yourselves. From This Artist She has a style of her own and a voice of her own. She's not trying to live up to anyone elses voice. If you don't like her don't listen to her. Bur for people to lay rude comments to her vocal talents when they have none of their own seems a bit silly. I'd play for and with Miss stone anytime. Show a little love. Quit hating like you know it all. God Bless.
Just saw her 3 days ago in Tulsa. The show was incredible. It was a fundraiser with seats on the floor selling for as much as $25000.00 but after the 3rd song Joss went into the crowd of $50.00 seats singing and dancing and told EVERYONE to come down on the floor to make it a REAL GIG a couple hundred people followed before security could stop them . They finished the show amongst the tables with the wine glasses and candles I'm sure pissing of the rich folks who had paid so much.
Ela não tem idéia da música quer dizer que ela é idiota? voce é um igonrante mesmo.
Vá em algum site de letra de música e veja se ela não tem idéia clara sobre as músicas que canta...seu ignorante.. vá se informar antes de falar essa ignorancia seu idiota
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not going to comment on her version of this song, just the fact that she's an idiot. She's singing a song that she has no idea what it means or even WHO DAVID BYRNE IS! She's a musician. She should know something about music, but she clearly has no idea.
But does this mean she doesn't love music? We can't know everything and she's passing the word - she's singing the song because she thought it was fun when she heard it for the first time.. She just wants to make people feel... I mean.. we all know Britney Spears... but does she make anything worth listening to? :D
she said herself " but anyway, i like it.... i feel like covering it " thats all , she like the song so she covered it, why do u care that she has no idea wat it means,, and how would you even know the real meaning,.. and is the fact that you didnt want to comment on her version is because you dont want to admit she sounded good,,, i imagine so !
Let's say, Joss Stone is the first girl of "this generation" that started singing neo-soul-R&B kind of music. Amy Winehouse came later, she has a different style but I think she's just as good as Stone. And those girls that appeared last or this year, Adele, Duffy, Gabriella Cilmi (and more are to appear, believe me)are quite good too, but I think they are just imitating Winehouse (except for Duffy perhaps), and they don't really know where this style came from.
totally agree with what you said 'na7uli7a' most are just copying amy winehouse yet they no nothing about soul/RnB music people think beyonce,rihanna,even britney spears, are RnB but its not prober RnB at all and amy wasn't even the won that started the new trend of brit blue eyed soul singers joss was her first album came out first them amys first album came out when joss second one came out people forget it joss might've not wanted to but she did start it
i think the only ones that not copying the trend are duffy the rest proably don't like soul/RnB music amy clearly does and joss clearly does as well which is why they both came about the same year nearly when it wasn't that trendy at all coz they love that music style
I think she's the real thing. From what I've seen she seems to be a happy, hard working, talented young woman with a good heart and a long carrier ahead of her. It's hard to compare, each generation brings a new wave of talent. There's many to like and for me she's one of the best.
as for joss screamin Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, Lauryn Hill, all do it (yes true they do) but thats part of soul music letting you feels out, really getting into the song not just singing words, you have to admit Joss is a load better singer than other british females that have totally copied joss "blue eyed british soul singer" thing thats now a fashion (which joss started)compare joss' voice with Amy Winehouse,Adele,Duffy,joss is better singin wise (though Duffy is bloodly great too)
There were brtish singers who came before Joss and really paved the way for soul music. Like Dusty Springfield, Lisa Stansfield, Floetry, Beverly Knight who I beleive posesses more versatility than Joss, Sade Adu and Terri Walker
yes but shes not like Adele, Gabriella Cilmi,etc... they are just copying joss and amy cause its really fashionable in britian at the moment to sing soul/RnB music not because they love that music style joss was a guess on a radio show for a couple of weeks playing the music she loved (which is wear this cover versions from)and it was all RnB/Soul music so its not like joss is been a "blue eyed soul singer" cause she wants to get in on the trend like the rest she does it coz she likes it
Joss has not made any stepping stones in music the only sucess she had was crossing into mainstream sucess but overall she has not really done anything out of the ordinary.
She is a copier more than anything check out Nikka Costa who is one of the funky soul girl she came way before Joss.
The retro sound she puts in the music Sharon Jones did it first she came out in 1996 check her out.
ofcourse joss has not made any steppin stones... but it does not mean she is a bad singer... n i don´t believe that she wanted to start something when she started making music... she just wanted to give her own interpretation of soul-music to the world... she never said that she formed something new remember that... she is just celebratin the good old soul music n mixing it with new stuff
joss has never tryed to sing soul music she loves that style of music but really her label made an image to sell records which is why she really changed on her third album listen to some of the songs there (some are on youtube) joss is kind of Neo-soul/RnB style music you can tell she loves soul music though her songs but joss' music is quite different to 60's soul singers i have a very wide range of music tastes don't like to listen to only one type thats boring.
Are you guys really into soul music? becuase Joss Stone is nothing compared to Aretha she has a good voice but she is not no prime time vocalists i saw her at a festival and her voice gets very shrilly and she screams to hard.
She is good nut she is not hardly touching Aretha or Lauryn Hill's level
I guess Joss Stone fans are simply into Joss Stone Music - whether it's Soul, Pop, R&B or anything else. We like her music, her voice, the way she performs - she seems to be so free on stage, she just sings out all her feelings...
I'm sure most Joss Stone fans have checked out Aretha Franklin, Lauryn Hill, Janis Joplin, Dusty Springfield and so on - Joss is permanently talking about them, how could they not? ;)
She's not trying to be Aretha or Lauryn. She's trying to spread the message :)
Look, that she doesn't know the man, isn't such a big deal. She knows the song, that's what mainly counts. And she just tell's you all what she heard. So if it's not treu, it's not really her fault.
Miss Stone, just for your info this song is originally from the album David Byrne by the artist of the same name.He is Scottish but lives in US. He did not do this one with Brian Eno.
Eno wasnt involved in this song. Buck Naked is from Byrne's 1994 solo album...at that point Eno hadnt been around for about 13 years. David Byrne is just amazing, isn't he? Wow...whoa....hey!
It is a silly song but is shows once again that JOSS IS THE BEST FEMALE VOCALIST OUT TODAY. The part from 1:50 to 4:00 minutes is almost right up there with Aretha Franklin in her heyday.

Some 10 years ago I went to a David Byrne concert and he sang this song. He also mentioned that he wrote it for a friend who was dying of AIDS.
But... as long as it makes someone laugh, I guess it's OK.
