Both of them can sing, Mavis is one of my all time favorites. Joss Stone is beautiful, but should put something on. It's strange to see her dressed like that next to Mavis Staples. I guess both just represent different times.

This illustrates the importance of a good song - they had a good song - but made no attempt to sing that song!

of course there's the sellability factor. Truth is... she looks good, and can sing.

Does that mean Black people can't do Classical music?!!!Daubrey Weirdsley

There are millions of people who have the potential to be great artists.Sadly they will remain undiscovered & we know why. Race & class,are just some of the reasons.Never the less thats not an argument not to recognize what a great talent Joss Stone is. She has always given credit to her influences rooted as they are in the great Gospel,Soul and RnB traditions of Black America.Lets not forget that Stones mentor,producer, friend is the great Betty Wright.Yours with respect.D.Weirdsley

We have Josh Stones in our churches that never make it to fame. We hear them every Sunday. This is why they are saying that she has a good tone.

I think you are all completely wrong and suffering from a mixture of jealousy and inverted snobbery, because she's a young woman and white. Joss Stone has an utterly fantastic voice. She knows intuitively how to sing with soul. Very rare these days.Daubrey Weirdsley.

I know right she has a good tone but she has no versatility in her voice.
