Joss Stone

I've been meaning to check her out. I saw her on some awards show and she sounded pretty good.

 

I'll wait til she puts out her first original album. A good voice only makes half an artist.

 

you do not think she is original?
i like her music. she had 2 singles in holland and i really love her voice. her music is not like al the other stuff i've been hearing for about 10 years. and she didn't make any covers
i thought she was younger then 17

 

Jesus, you totally misunderstood what I meant. By original I meant an album of songs she has written. Her current album is all cover songs. Damn, calm down and untwist your panties.

 

Dude, I think it may be you who needs to calm down and untwist your panties. Hell, your school just beat the defending national champions!

 

Dude, I'm so calm and chilled, that I've reached the end of the spectrum and somehow ended up on the opposite extreme. Wrap your mind around that.


Also, I'm pretty sure I was the first one to post something on Joss Stone, so I don't have anything against her.

 

Ella Fitzgerald and Billy Holliday never wrote their own songs, and I thought they were pretty good.

 

i just think it's weird that she is covering a song that still gets radio play: The White Stripes "fell in love with a girl"

of course she uses dramatic license and "fell in love with a boy....but it bears repeating.....nahnahnahnahaaaah"

 

If you think that's weird, you should hear Dave Edmunds' version of "Da Doo Ron Ron." He's so obsessed with making note-perfect covers that he doesn't even change the sex in the song.

I always the Beatles' gender-crossing covers from the early days that they had to change the boy/man to girl/woman, or vice versa.

Or the opposite.

Or, whatever.

 

who could forget Tiffany's stirring version of "I saw HIM standing there"?

 

CLASSIC!

Goose-bumps, just thinking about it.

Strangely, I also feel like throwing back an Orange Julius or two.

 

Isn't this song called "I wish we're alone now"?

 

sorry i didn't mean it like you thought i meant it. I thought you didn't think her ,usic was original, so i asked why you thought that. i wasn't angry or upset or anything. sorry if you misunderstood my intentions of that post. So lets all relax

 

you are thinking of "I think we're alone now"

a cover of a 1967 "Tommy James & The Shondells" tune of the same name.


however, if you haven't heard The Beatles "I saw her standing there" then you must live under a rock.....



or in switzerland

 

Thanks, I only have the version of "Lene Lovich" at home, which is a great version (came out '77 or '78). Have to check out the original version of "Tommy James & .......".

hey I lived under a rock in Switzerland and suddenly I saw her standing there,..............but she just met the Beatles and therefore had to switch to Tiffany.
