So, who saw Joss Stone on the Grammy show? I thought Melissa Etheridge blew her away on the Janis Joplin tribute thingy...

I saw her, she'd from England but I couldn't tell that when she sings, she has a beautiful voice, very unique and lovely and Melissa.....OH GOD! I'm glad she is getting better.And yeah, Joss did seems to get really quiet when Melissa started her part .....

I didnt see it but I like that song "You Had Me"

Yes, I think that was Melissa's first performance since she announced that she was being treated for breast cancer. She sounded great at the Grammy show! Joss really couldn't keep up with Melissa on "Take Another Little Piece of My Heart."

Yuk , i hate Mellissa Etheridge with that horse voice of hers

Dewrede said:

But Melissa can do some Janis Joplin and she blew poor Joss across the stage. Joss Stone can sing but she needs to stick with the Aguilera-esque vocal acrobatics of pop music because her voice is not a Rock voice,

LQ

Oops , meant hoarse (of course)
Sorry , but i never liked Melissa Etheridge

I personally like both of them.....but Melissa needs some hair.....bad

Tish4 said:

Umm... you know she had cancer right?

Joss can sing but I didn't like the whole Grammy performance Mellisa messed it up IMO with her voice

I hate, hate, hate Joss Stone.

Vocally, she was not able to keep up with Melissa. The should've got my girl Teena Marie up there to turn it out b/c Joss is just an amature I'm sorry and hasn't been in the game long enough to know how its done.

LadyQ said:

Exactly.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Rip, u said that u were going to try to refrain from using that word. But uh, I'm not crazy about Joss myself. I'm just tired of seeing non-black girls getting bigtime praise for trying to sound black. Christina slides by this because, one, she can truly blow, two, her soul sounds "authentic". I know cats that dig Joss, yeah, she can sing. Something about her doesn't sit right with me. I get sick of hearing the Teena comparisons. Christina is MUCH closer to Teena than Joss.

Seriously, the only reason I even consider Joss is cuz pyskosoul digs her.

blackguitaristz said:

Rip loves Joss. That was a joke.

VoicesCarry said:

That's cool. Now we'll have something to argue about.

I love Melissa. Not sure about Joss, but Melissa rocks! She has some beautiful ballads too.

Joss is a victim of the hype machine. I had never listened to a Joss Stone record til I saw her on the Grammys. I was like 'what's the big freakin' deal?'

Why are you all dissing here ?! I think she OK ! I like her last song

Dewrede said:

I don't know why anyone else is but I'm not easily impressed.

VoicesCarry said:

That is correct. 'Twas a joke, and I used the word in jest.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Well, let's get to argueing!

A louder voice doesn't mean that she was better. Just like Michael Jackson and Prince, they can't be compared. Whatever the case, Joss Stone's latest cd moving from #85 to #42 on the Billboard 200 chart this week says alot more than your ignorant opinion.

You should check out "Spoiled" by Joss Stone. There are alot more beautiful ballads on Mind Body & Soul.

blackguitaristz said:

I agree with you the Christrina is closer to Teena than Joss b/c her ass can actually sing. Whereas, this Joss Stone is not as vocally talented as Teena or Christra and needs much more practice to get to their level for that amount of soul.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

Exactly. She just like Keys and all the rest of them.

I think Joss is in a different category than Alicia Keyes, but each has their own opinion for diff. reasons. Joss's voice definetely doesn't match her face, I get confused when I see her in videos, or hear her on the airwaves and then watch her on t.v. But she does know how to sing and that's a given, but I don't see Alicia Keyes in that same light at all.
