![]() so many singers these days seem to be more about the "style" and the "look" and not the substance. i might be the only on this thread who got to see janis in concert 6-8 times, and there was NOTHING to compare her to. Janis was not a real looker, and she was well aware of it, but, boy, was she sexy! Joss is a looker, and, well, kinda sweet and homely, and living with some scion of Motown who wouldn't know a Harley Davidson if one ran over him.Ĭlick to expand.i agree with you on all counts. Joss has that hippy look, albeit a bit 'put on' and probably urged to do so by marketing, management et al, whereas Janis found that look for herself and borrowed bits of the chicks around the haight-ashbury scene, but Joss Stone doesn't look physically anything like Janis Joplin, dude. I have still to hear anything like Janis Joplin, but here's hopin'. Then again, Joss Stone is still very young, but I hear chicks as good at just about every open mic night I go to. ![]() It's not for everybody, it's not for the faint-hearted, and certainly not for little Joss, either. Have you really LISTENED to Janis Joplin, dude, and not Joss Stone singing a Janis Joplin song? Janis was a blues/R'nB'/Rock singer of a calibre I cannot see being equalled.Īlso, as Janis said herself, you've got to LIVE the blues to REALLY sing or play it, and Janis's life was pretty much Full Tilt Boogie you can HEAR all that juice, the hard times, the chickenshit asshole boyfriends she liked so much, and the drugs, man, whereas Joss is a little sweetie who, almost certainly, has never known hard times or been anywhere NEAR the edge! And it counts, it's that little bit extra 'mojo'.it is the difference. ![]() Joss Stone is sweet, and a very, very good soul singer, no doubt. ![]()
