Joss Stone has launched an attack on fellow British singer
Lily Allen, saying she “can’t sing.” She believes that Lily is more of a personality rather than a singer.
Lily is currently campaigning to try and make internet file sharing a criminal offense, to which Joss says, “She needs to sell records because she’s not a singer, and that’s not an offense to her because I think that she knows that too.”
“I think she’s a performer and she’s more of a personality than she is a singer. But I think when musicians are really making real music people come to the show and that’s what we make our money from, from playing live. And I think it’s probably harder for an artist like Lily and any other pop acts.
"It’s really about the track and about their personality and their celebrity and that’s how they make their money is selling those records.”
“So the downloads – she’s not going to win that fight. None of us will win that fight. So let’s just accept it and let’s see it as something that can be beautiful and it might change music for the better. It might sort the weeds from the flowers.
“Who said that musicians have to be millionaires? Who made this a rule? We don’t need that much money. We just don’t. We only need enough to make music and to eat and to go on tour.”
We highly doubt a lot of musicians agree with Joss on that one! We’re sure they’ve all gotten used to their cush lifestyle and could never go back to having a regular life with a lot less money! Do you agree with Joss here?
