"Bruised but not Broken"



This is a man's world- James Brown and Joss Stone

Not in this lifetime.

Hell naw...

Oh hell no! Not with that horrible forced screaming-singing thing she does. She may like doing r&b/soul but it doesn't come natural for her. She always sounds fake or like she's forcing it. Teena is just natural with it.

I'd rather listen to Joss anyday, she can sing the phonebook to me.

Once Stone stops bitting Nikka Costa, I might stop hating on her.



Oh hell no, I will never stop hating on this poser. The new Teena Marie my black ass.

I like Joss Stone,but I don't think she should aim to be the "next" anybody.She should just be herself.She's so talented,she just needs a brilliant album.I think her best work is yet to come.

I miss Nikka,,,,how this girl didn't get her dues is TOTALLY beyond me.

I think she's got potential...

Teena Marie's voice is more seasoned than Joss Stones.


Girl they won't believe it- Joss Stone


If I were a bell- Teena Marie

She has boring songs and an uncontrolled showy voice.

Fuck. No.

She's good, but she needs some more life experience and years on her. As soon as Teena opened her mouth I started getting chills !

Joss will never be embraced by R&B radio. Teena was from the get go.

Umm I'm sorry to say but the only good song on her last cd was "Bruised But Not Broken" the rest of it was trash.

And still IS

I think she could easily be the new Teena Marie.
Joss Stone has soul, and she is gorgeous...

Black radio embraced Teena for her VOICE, nobody knew what color she was when she first came out, only that she was Rick James's protege.

Dayclear said:

And when it was discovered she was white, black radio still embraced her.

In my opinion, Joss fakes the funk. Teena is the real deal.

Can the world survive without the sun?

The question in question is a joke

If she were a bell, she'd be an annoying, off-key bell. Never liked that song, and that carrying on at the end of that performance makes me Joss has potential, but she's yet to live up to it and likely never will. She seems content to be a brat for the gossip rags.

Anyway, here's one I love from Teena


Midnight Magnet (from the 1983 album Robbery)

I LOVE Lady T, and Joss, but her being Teena anit gonna happen.
EVER!

- While some do feel that Teena has a problem with being off-key, at least w/ her it feels genuine; I feel Joss Stone's "soul" is forced

If she Could Have .. she would have by Now..


Although they are 2 different people, so you can't compare
Teena is a Musician, Songwriter, Arranger and a Singer..

Apples and Oranges..

Leigh Jones impresses me more than Joss..

True. When she's off-key, she's genuinely off-key. I like her enough that I've got three of her studio albums, but I'm just partial to her up-tempo numbers. The majority of her ballads do nothing for me. To me, that's when Teena feels like she's trying too hard.

Anyway, I liked Joss at first. I've since lost interest.

Joss Stone is horrible. Teena is in a league of her own; one that Slosh could never touch.

Not if they're like her last album, they ain't.

Frankly, I don't think Teena Marie should be the standard to which anyone aspires. I've NEVER understood why people go all ga ga for her. Listening to her and Rick James sing is like watching Cephus and Reesie on In Living Color.

Joss? She's still wet. Give her 10 years to hone her voice, and the soul that'll come with the ups and downs of an adult life she's yet to lead, and she may sing circles around Reesie... er... Teena.
