June 30, 200718 yr Lmao - a KARAOKE singer? Lacks Soul?! I have to wonder if youve ever listened to her records, man. 'Lacks soul' - i would laugh if i wasnt cringing right now. Seriously, check out her song 'Tell Me What We Gonna Do Now' (of course you wont) and then even try telling me she 'lacks soul'. Oh Jack, up to older acts (although I know you tend to dismiss older acts), Joss' singing is not that brilliant - it is good, but not the best. Have a listen to singers like Ella Fitzgerald - now there is a damn good bit of soul. And as long as she continues to behave like a loon with her fake accent, the longer she will look like an idiot.
June 30, 200718 yr Whatever. Im not sure what evidence you have for me not appreciating older acts lol but believe me i do - however we're getting off-topic. Joss obviously has soul and is a prime case of someone picked on for one flaw when in fact it's probably down to jealousy, because shes so damn talented.
June 30, 200718 yr Sorry Jark but have you listened to Joss' performance of Son Of A Preacher Man? :( Personally I find it awfull, over the top, her voice cant handle big notes, she has minor-soul when compared to artists such as Aretha Franklin for instance.
June 30, 200718 yr NO-ONE has Aretha's soul who is young and making music today - Joss has the next-best thing, for me at least.

June 30, 200718 yr NO-ONE has Aretha's soul who is young and making music today - Joss has the next-best thing, for me at least. NO FREAKIN WAY! :rofl: Tbh, I dont even think Joss' music is even Soul, tbh as much as I do like Joss (and I do alot), her music isnt very soulfull, to me it sounds fake still. :blink:

June 30, 200718 yr Lmao - the good old white girl comment. She cant know soul, she's white. I love it.
June 30, 200718 yr Lmao - the good old white girl comment. She cant know soul, she's white. I love it. dusty springfeild was white and had one of the most soulful voices ever... respected by many of the real soul greats. so you're kinda missing the point..... again..
June 30, 200718 yr Im hardly missing the point :huh: Given that your comment was "what does a middle class white english girl know about 'soul'?". Edited June 30, 200718 yr by Jark
June 30, 200718 yr Im hardly missing the point :huh: Given that your comment was "what does a middle class white english girl know about 'soul'?". yep.... thats it... as i said earlier you clearly dont understand what 'soul' is, and this post confirms it. :)
June 30, 200718 yr furthermore it highlights all that is wrong with modern music, the young being told what is what by the big music industry moguls who have nothing more then money making interests. they slap a label on here and slap a label on there , tell you its like this and whatever... in truth they know nothing, music... REAL meaningful music was an expression from the heart... not from corporate company who wants to extract as much money from you as possible. big business follows grass roots inovation, it doesnt create it.
June 30, 200718 yr Who cares if she lacks soul its her personality thats the problem, tbh i can see why people dont want to buy her music because her fame from her last album really went to her head and she thinks shes just perfect now doesnt she, as for the accents bloody hell why????? its so stupid and pointless, no wonder noone likes her, not only that but her new album is a load of sh!te anyway.
July 1, 200718 yr When you think about it she's been incredibly lucky in her career so far, she's seen as credible and yet her career started when she won a talent show, "Star For A Night" on BBC1 and was signed by an agent who whisked her off to America, where she recorded her debut album of soul covers, for which she was rewarded with a Brit award and a Grammy, I wonder if Simon Cowell had this in mind when Leona was whisked off to America? Will Leona return with a hi'yall how you doin? :lol:
July 1, 200718 yr Who cares if she lacks soul its her personality thats the problem, because shes 'sold' as a 'soul' singer, which is something she lacks. like i said earlier, her songs are ok..
July 1, 200718 yr I've always found her voice pretty contrived myself. It's funny how her origins are always ignored & she is given the credible tag when imo she 's much more manufactured than a lot of artists. Wonder what behaviour she'll exhibit today for us to cringe over. Had to turn off her interview about her memory of Diana's death. :puke2:
July 1, 200718 yr It's funny how her origins are always ignored & she is given the credible tag when imo she 's much more manufactured than a lot of artists. Actually, I agree with that.... I would say she's less credible as an artist than someone like Will Young tbh..... And yeah, not really that much less manufactured than a lot of the garbage we get flung at us by Cowell and Walsh..... The fake 'Yankee' accent to ingratiate herself to her American audience is totally contrived.... I remember seeing footage of Bono doing the same thing when he was doing the whole "Zoo TV" tour thing.... I dunno whether it was just him being "ironic" or what, I suppose you could say he was making a point about the Americanisation of global culture.. No such attempt at any kind of ideology in Joss' case though, just totally contrived....
July 1, 200718 yr I've always found her voice pretty contrived myself. It's funny how her origins are always ignored & she is given the credible tag when imo she 's much more manufactured than a lot of artists. exactly! they found a character with a voice, 'this sounds like.....' 'lets market it as'..... seeing her at the concert it was cringeworthy obvious. nice voice?.. ok.. ill not argue, but shes as manufactured and manipulated as s club juniors were!
