Joss Stone
"Spoiled" Lyrics
I kinda thought that I'd be better off by myself
I've never been so wrong before
You made it impossible for me to ever
Love somebody else
And now I don't know what I left you for
See I thought that I could replace you
He can't love me the way you do
'Till now I never knew
Baby
Joss Stone is living a dream that nearly every 17-year old girl has at one time or another. The dream of being a star, a music Diva. For her though it is real. She has been on a rocket ride straight to the top of the music charts since her debut album (The Soul Sessions) was released in 2003 and subsequently certified gold in 2004.
She met Brad Pitt backstage at the Live8 concert and discovered he was a fan. Her music has been featured on all the music TV channels as well as being incorporated into theme music on various hit shows. She most recently performed live at the Superbowl with Stevie Wonder and a host of other singers in the pregame show.
According to a story on virgin.net she credits her father with giving her the drive and discipline she needed to achieve her dreams. She says that she blames the parents to a large degree when children are out of control.
Despite the success of her first album she says on her website that; "For me, personally, Mind, Body and Soul (her latest CD) is my real debut." But she also recently told the press that she wants out of showbiz. The beautiful and usually barefoot singer told Elle magazine; "I want to be a midwife. It must be the nicest job. I don't just want to be a singer my whole life."

Enki, interesting choices for favorite tracks. You really like the dirty blues, huh? I'd include "Right to Be Wrong" among my favorites, and disagree (a little) on "Jet Lag".
I'm very impressed with this cd. I have the feeling that the industry has no idea how to market a pretty young thing who sings like she's lived Billie Holliday's life. I just love seeing "The Machine" stumble.
