Joss Stone

"A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
Don't cha wanna ride baby"

Jocelyn Eve Stoker..born 11th April 1987 (i am not a stalker, just thought id get some facts before i start on how im in love with her songs)

Yes she is as old as me..but she looks MUCH MUCH older..i guess people in england and america just age faster, because culturally they face 'LIFE' alot faster then we do..we are babied and smothered and cushioned from real hard life, until we forcefully/secretly apply to college and run away abroad..our parents just dont want to let go..Whatsupwiththat?!
My dad sometimes jokingly(although sometiems i fear he's serious) says, il NEVER let u go, even after u marry your can live upstairs...creepy!

Not alot of people know about her, and those who know dont like her sound...WHYYYY i ask? WHY? She is the perfect blend of new sound, Soul, RnB and hippy culture all rolled into one..
You can see her in her live performances always running back and forth on stage barefeet, belting out strong/heavy melodies with sweet ass lyrics about love, make-ups, break-ups and taking a ride in a hummer in the summer..hehe

One of the first songs of hers that i fell in love with.."Donch'u wanna ride baby" was such a deep song with such innocent lyrics..and most of you wont agree with me on this one but YES its deep.. She is very aware of the human need to love and be loved by someone and she effortlessly sings about the need for his 'hands all over me'.. 'need you so bad'..'how he is a bad habit'..shes young, experienceing firs love, first heartbreak, etc for the first time..cheesy yes, but then what else do you expect her to be singing about? the economy going Ka-Put? how its the first black president America has ever had, and already the country is broke(courtesy of Wanda Sykes hahah)
(and now that iv made such a poor case in her favour..)

She gives Killer performances(her voice) she has SUCH heart and soul that they make you believe her love of the music is pure..shes at her BEST on stage, Barefoot mind-you(which is kinda cute), shes bubbly, friendly and ALWAYS talks to the audience telling stories of how she wrote the song, or was inspired by it..and the best part...shes not some nobody..shes been on the scene for the last 6 7 years and has had the priviledge to sing with some of music's GREATEST..

What you think im bluffing? well let me go on to throw a few names on the table to make my case stronger..
James Brown, Tom JOnes, Smokey Robinson, Melissa Ethridge, Common(yes the rapper), John Legend, Carlos Santana(The Man), Leanne Rhimes, Rob Thomas, Gladys Knight, Erykah Badu and Blondie...(no kidding)
Singing Classics like 'Take me to the river'(one of my favs), 'No woman no cry', L.O.V.E, and tributes to Aretha franklin, Live8, many many many charity concerts(she cant say no when people ask her to perform at a charity thing)

This girl is a powerhouse, known as the 'British Soul Sensation'..her music has blown me away..(and then others say shes too loud for them..what do they know)

P.S: shes not THAT commercial..I LOVE THAT! i hope she never becomes commercialized..dont want another britney on our hands..and shes still young(as am i :P) long road ahead of her..and i hope she continues to come out with GREAT music..looking fwd to it..
