Seems like Miss Joss Stone is really trying to do whatever it takes to make those sales and keep her name in the media. From the photos of her and singer/songwriter/producer Raphael Saadiq, to Dallas Austin lashing out about having sex for records, now to dissing Christina Milian in the newly popular Giant Magazine.
In the media blitz promoting last week’s release of her new CD “Introducing Joss Stone,” which debuts at No. 2 this week on the Billboard 200 album chart, the 19-year-old British soul singer had some interesting things to say in the new issue of Giant magazine.
While Stone had some harsh criticism for today’s crop of R&B singers, her most scathing words were saved specifically for singer-actress Christina Milian, who just so happens to be the ex-girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend, Beau Dozier.
Stone describes most singers today as “just highly paid strippers.” When told she may have just insulted a large swath of singers, she cocked her head to the side, flashed an innocent smile and said, “What? It’s not like I’m not telling the truth.”
When Christina Milian’s name came up in conversation, Stone, according to writer Aliya S. King, “doesn’t bother to hide her disdain for the woman who Dozier, now Stone’s ex-boyfriend, once dated.”
Stone told King: “I could tell you some stories about her…” then launched into a “profanity-laced tirade against the pop star.” King writes: “After I point to my tape recorder, reminding her that she’s on record, Stone doesn’t quit. Instead, she continues to go off on Milian and, even worse, Milian’s mother. ‘I’m just honest,’ Stone concludes with a shrug.”
“Christina has never met Joss,” Milan’s publicist responds. “She can’t imagine what this is all about.”
Come on, Joss… you can do better. In other news, Joss Stone will launch her first major North American tour on April 27th, rth American tour in nearly three years on April 27. The tour stretches into June, making special stops at the Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans and the annual Summerstage concert series in New York City’s Central Park. On July 1, Stone will appear in London alongside Elton John, Bryan Ferry, and Duran Duran at the “Concert For Diana,” a charity event organized by Princes William and Harry to celebrate the life of the late Princess.

Joss Stone is probably smokin weed and drinking because she looks a mess and she has no class. Even though this is true, don’t get mad at her just because she’s white. Damn, a lot of you praise Christina Aguilera for having soul when she doesn’t. Joss is actually a real soul singer and has soul and has never tried to act black or fit in like Christina Aguilera has. I don’t like Joss anymore, but she can sang her ass off and is one of the greatest singers of today. Christina Milian is cuban/afro cuban, not black I guess cuban with some black ancestors, but she’s not one of us just because of her skin color so don’t say Joss trashed talked one of our “sistas.” Some of you think that just because Christina M appears nice, quiet, sweet, and innocent, she’s more classier, but she damn sure looked like one of them high paid strippers in Dip It Low and in magazines like Joss was talking about. Christina Milian can’t sing, dance, or act. She’s just known for her cute looks. Both of em are wack but don’t put down Joss more just because you think Christina M looks better.
MAN THESE INDUSTRY TIED SINGERS BE KILLING ME
How in the hell a hoe talk about a stripper? Ain’t she the one posed naked on a dude old enough to be her daddy. No matter how cool the pictures look if they wasn’t in the industry people would tell the truth that ish is nasty as hell. Chick got issues ya’ll sure she wasn’t on what Dallas was on in Dubai.
SHUT UP YA MOUTH IF U CANT SAY NUTHING NICE AND IF U DNT GOT NUTHING 2 SAY NICE CNT SAY NUTHING AT ALL DAT IZ HOW U GET YA NAME WHICH IZ A HATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Got some black d**k in her life…has the ability to ‘sound’ soulful and even that is an over-saturated attempt that comes across as fake and too contrived and know she wanna pop sh*t about women of color. She can’t even stand in Teena Marie’s shadow….Bonnie Rait got more soul than this broad, and niether women had to jump on an album cover nude with a black man to ‘create’ controversey for record sales and ‘buzz’. Joss Stones fibble attempts to come up or pathetic and old….I have zero respect for her as an artist. We know industry pu**y when we see it..it’s global baby!! But back to ol’ gurl….I digress, her ho-ish ways are coming to light ( no pun intended) b/c as grandma use to say, “What’s done in the dark comes to light…” and it indeed is. I think the urban community is starting to see her for what she is….a poser. Don’t be mad. You’ve beeen exposed!!
@chante
actually on the issue of middle easterns and north africans, woode is right. they are considered caucasian (technically- the u.s. census bureau reports this) but on a social level white people see them as a different
common on yall..be for real. We’ve all witnessed what Lauryn Hill has become! Talib Kweli has a whole d@mn song talking about how she needs to get back to that “strong Lauryn”..it’s true. She didn’t disrespect Lauryn. Joss Stone is talented by far. She shouldn’t lower herself by reducing herself to “beef tactics”
Aw STFU, Christina is a “Black” but thats not the point. I don’t think it’s racially motivated at all. I promise man people will make up ANYTHING from NOTHING. Its just another case of a caddy @ss female.
Lmao @ “all hispanics are white…look at an I-9 form.” Yo, I dont know what in the hell kind of books and forms you’re reading but most forms I see say Black (non-hispanic) and White (non-hispanic) on the forms. Hispanic is a CULTURE not a RACE. There are a big mixture of races in the Hispanic culture. And quite clearly there are Black hispanics and she’s one of them. An Afro-Cuban. Have you seen her mom?! Fuck outta here. Step your game up.
#250 If you’re going to quote me, do so correctly. Otherwise stfu..
LMAO @ #1&2
there’s no such thing as a TRUE artists. everyone has their own style and what someone might think is artistic someone else might find it offensive or stupid. just because an artist takes off their clothez doesn’t mean you can call them highly paid strippers. nobody really buys a cd just because someone is sexy. if their just sexy and their music ain’t good you buy posters…duhh. although their are artists where the sex appeal overshadows actual talent (umm cassie), those are the artists you should say something about and ENCOURAGE to improve, not put down and diss. as long as they’ve got the beats/voice to back it up, it shouldn’t really matter how they express themselves when it comes to clothez, or how sexual they are.
If she considers herself a real rnb singer, then why is she talking bout Christina Milian? Does she consider her to be in the same league?
joss need to quit hve yall seen her new video??? wtf at least christina’s shit a little bit more class to it (dip it low). but joss need to get her shit together asap
@woode
do you have anything intelligent to say about the hispanic issue? you just type a lot of insults but never respond. i gave you the definition of hispanic from the U.S. Census Board which says hispanics can be of any race yet instead of commenting you go off on black women calling them hoodrats. i would say something about that but i’m guessing that you realized you were wrong and felt hurt so had to attack.

All of what you said is so true, but I had to give you props for speaking that one sentence.
People get mad at me when I say it but your right. There are so many Caucasian women breaking their neck to plastic surgeons and doing excessive tanning to look like what we as African American women already naturally have.
Joss Stone’s comments is nothing more than her revealing her own insecurities and bitterness at Christina Milian over a man who ain’t thinking about either one of them as well as her anger of her slow speed fame verses other female artists extreme popularity. It’s just like Kim Porter talking backwards about Jennifer Lopez in the Essence magazine about Diddy.
She is doing this as a public stunt to increase her upcoming album and to vent of her resentment over a past relationship, I recommend counseling for all that baggage.
If she was that hot she shouldn’t be worried about other female artists. Plus she has nerve to call others “over paid strippers” when she’s “naked” with her producer aka her boyfriend, LOL. Oh! Her body had paint on it so I guess it was ok, girl please. The pot cannot call the kettle black.
Overall, she is a woman scorn from an ex and pissed from not receiving that instant fame she “thinks” she deserves. She is talented but that means nothing these days.
WOODE,
what is your ethnicity? Did your mom abuse you as a young boy? You have some problems towards Black and Hispanic women it seems… Im sure you can find a good mental specialist to help you out. No really…There’s something wrong with you… Did your mom used to beat you a lot or something like that? All that hate is going to do you no good.
“just highly paid strippers” – - How can she say this, when she was just on the cover of the CD NAKED with Raphael Saadiq! Some nerve.
It’s so sad that women cannot stick together and dog one another. Not to say that men don’t do it too. But for her to comment on Christina when Christina has said nothing about her…NEXT!
Brittany, btw interesting spelling of the name Britney, you’re clearly what I call ghetto black. Anyway to answer your question, I am African American, no I was not abused by mother or any one else. I was raised in a two parent home, my parents are college educated as is myself, I live in CT ‘Connecticut’ and work in NYC. I could careless about the Hispanic community; my concern is with the state of African Americans. I have a very big problem with the level of ignorance some in our community seem to aspire to. I very much agree with Bill Cosby’s view of the state of black America, it seems we go out of our way to prove how stupid we can portray ourselves to the world.
For instance, some of the black women here are all up in arms about what some white chick said about a Hispanic chick, why some of the black women here insist on defending Christina Millian is beyond comprehension, even though she clearly denies her mixed heritage, which in the eyes of the law makes her mulatto btw, not black. She does not identify with the black race, this is her prerogative. The response to Joss Stone’s statement by some of the black women here only confirms what some white women believe about black women, no need for me to elaborate on what those beliefs are I’m sure you get the picture.
So to summarize, yes there is a certain segment of our race that I hate! Male and female alike, that segment are the ones who choose to remain ignorant, who choose to remain in poverty, those that chose to be unwed mothers, black men who can’t seem to keep there asses out of the penal system, the notorious attitude problem a great deal of black women have, etc. Is it to much to expect us to carry ourselves with some dignity?
Is it to much to ask a black woman a question without the attitude and the fuck you nigga that often goes along with her response? I think not, my post here on CL are much more than just to be confrontational, although I love a good debate, the main goal of my post are to get people to see the bigger picture, to step outside of the walls of there little ghetto’s and know that there’s a world out there for the taking. But as long as blacks are happy with non tangible bullshit, whites will never take us seriously.

Woode,I know my brothers are looking and shaking their head because you just don’t know how dumb you look.
But its not a BLACK WOMAN thing if thats what you think because its a woman thing meaning all races do it Woode, you just won’t see them open discuss them like we doing now.You just don’t see it,you just don’t know it.You think White woman don’t do it?You fooling yourself.You be surprised at how ignorant some white people are, but you won’t hear bad things about whites that on TV why, because they don’t want to seem like they not superior.
Joss Stone got more soul than Christina Millian, and christina is Black. If you are mixed with Black….Your Black…Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter,Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, Michael Jackson….all Negroes.
so joss has a more soulful voice than christina, so and your point is?? just because your black doesn’t mean you should have a deep voice with alot a vibration in it and sing music that sounds like music from the 90′s. she got soul simplu because she’s passionate about her work and she’s koo with the urban audience or w/e (i couldn’t find the word i was looking for)
Lmao WOODE STFU. I dont care enough to quote the EXACT words…SMH at you for that super wack comment. Like I said, step your game up. Read a book or 2…or 3.
Lmao! @ clarkthink “…Michael Jackson…all Negroes”
“…you’re clearly what I call ghetto black.” Wow, you get all that from a name huh…?
WELL BLACK AMERICA ONCE AGAIN IT’S YOUR OWN FAULT THESE LITTLE MOUSKETEERS & WANNABES ARE JUST LIKE SPONGES THEY SOAK UP OUR SOUL & RHYTHM & WE GIVE THEM A PASS UNTIL THEY SHOW THEY’RE COLORS (NO PUN) FROM JUSTIN DISSING JANET & PRINCE, NOW JOSS STONE CALLING FEMALES HIGH PAID STRIPPERS & DON’T ACT LIKE U DON’T KNOW WHO SHE’S REALLY TALKIN ABOUT! (BEYONCE, FANTASIA, KELLY ETC) ALL I’M SAYIN IS WE SPEND SOOO MUCH TIME PUTTING DOWN THE FEW BLACK PEOPLE IN THE LIMELIGHT WITH SOME TALENT SO ANOTHER RACE OR NATIONALITY CAN COME IN & SWOOP UP THE AWARDS & THERE ARE SOOO MANY UNDERATED ARTIST THAT NEED OUR SUPPORT BUT WE DON’T CAUSE THEY’RE NOT BEEFIN OR ON A MAJOR LABEL! WE HAVE THE POWER TO FIX THIS! SHOUT OUT TO ROBIN THICKE (BUT U CAN GET CHECKED IF U STEP OUTTA LINE TOO!)

46, I completely agree with you…
EVERYONE on this damn list knows SEX SELLS. Artists like SYLEENA JOHNSON, TAMIA, TEEDRA MOSES, JANELLE MONAE, MONICA, FANTASIA are LEFT BEHIND because they’re not SHAKING ASS OR FLOPPING P@SSY AROUND ALL DAY LONG. By INDUSTRY STANDARDS both Monica and Fantasia’s latest cd’s were FLOPS but BOTH have MAD LUNGS… but WHO was on top of the charts??? RIHANNA’S SCREECHING ASS WHO WON’T GO AWAY. Shakira sounds like a damn SHEEP but SHE WON’T GO AWAY EITHER. Before BRITNEY’S ASS WENT CRAZY she was ruling the charts WITH NO DAMN TALENT BUT DANCING, JANET RESULTED TO SHOWING HER MAMMERIES CAUSE FOLK CAUGHT ON TO HER ASS THAT SHE CAN’T SING WORTH A LICK TOO… THE LIST GOES ON… SO WHY WE COMING DOWN ON JOSS FOR TELLING THE TRUTH??? T.R.U.T.H!!!!!
I agree with you sex sells for record labels to make a quick buck while the artist that deserve more exposure have to rely on word of mouth. Even though Christian Millan ain’t a great singer I give her credit for working on it she doing her thang I don’t hate her. Little Miss Joss Stone is jealous of her (she really insecure any way) and other R&B singers like abeyance cause the have respect , she ain’t even really form Britain she from Devon in Wales which is technically part of Britain its like saying she American but she comes from Canada. When she came out she had no street cred in the UK. The street scene out here don’t give a shit about Joss Stone we have so many other more talented singers out here, but record labels don’t support us unless where white girls trying to sing black music or black girls singing really shit pop songs. I don’t know how people can buy her music her voice annoys me, it don’t sound like she sings naturally

AS A WHITE WOMAN, I MUST ADMIT THAT ME AND MY GIRLFRIENDS ONLY FIND VALUE IN SLEEPING WITH BLACK MEN. WE ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK, BECAUSE HONESTLY WHAT DOES ANY BLACK MAN HAVE TO OFFER IF IT’S NOT A LONG, STIFF COCK!
Bitch, go back to your cave and Shut the Fuck Up.
f**k joss stone her fu**ing album su*ks a*s anyways . she looks like a f***ing trainwreck with her new hair. b***h needs a new style and stop singing soul b*tch you sound like a f****ing dying walrus!
and b*tch u need 2 “tell me bout…” why yo a*s sounds so horrible
She (Joss) just seems like she’s getting big headed. Just because she’s got a bit of a voice (I’ve heard better at my grandmothers church) she thinks she can start putting down her peers.
If she keeps this up nobody’s gonna want to collaborate with her.
