Joss Stone sad about British snub

[Honey]

Joss Stone has spoken out about the reaction she has been getting from her British fans and claims that she feels rejected by them.

The British soul artist has spent the last few years in the States and made a comeback to the country at the Brit Awards, but she was mocked for speaking with an American accent at the event.

She was then booed when she turned up late to one of her concerts and has failed to sell many copies of her second album after the success of her debut.

Stone told DJ Trevor Nelson on his BBC 1Xtra radio show: "I felt kind of sad about it actually. It's funny because the only country that hasn't liked it is my own.

"It's just like, well, thanks guys! It's like coming home and having them be like, 'Go away, we don't like you!'

"It's the whole country and it's like they're mad at me for being in the US.

"Maybe it's because I dye my hair, maybe because my accent is messed up. But I've got to let it go and get on with my music."

Maybe is just your shitty personality...

[Gen X EJC]

Well, Joss, you and Heather Mills have a LOT to talk about...

[sweetness]

She was a cute girl until she screwed up her hair..... and her music pretty much sucks.

British fans just dont' get that certain artists feel the need to go to America to make their careers sky rocket. Its insulting for the fans, in a way. The Spice Girls are getting the same thing right now.

It was the stupid, put on, pretentious accent. I know that some people do pick up accents when they travel, but she was back and this came across as poor imitation of an American accent.

[Chilly Willy]

I think she's a nice kid and I don't get the backlash at all. Let her speak with a Polish accent for all I care.

The problem with her is she's trying so hard to be liked everywhere that she ISN'T being liked.

If her career was successful in the UK then why did she feel the need to try and branch out over here? She was a one hit wonder here (for a song that she didn't even write) and that was it. We don't want her here and now they don't want her there.

Congrats Joss, your shitty personality and greed for more fame has put your career down the shithole.

yeah, as an Anglophile american I get *really* pissed off when bands and actor/actresses I like from Britain decide to cash in and come over to America. It's ALWAYS about the money. Although sometimes it is nice to be able to see bands like Travis over here where you can be like ten feet away in a small club!!
