Joss Stone is beautiful, talented and never shies away from controversy. But has she been living in a cave? Because I can reveal that Joss has never heard of the Nation’s Sweetheart, Cheryl Cole.
I caught up with Joss at the O2 Rockwell concert on Friday to benefit the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy charity, and the conversation turned to the X Factor and the subject of Cheryl.
Our chat went like this: “What do you think of Cheryl Cole on X Factor?”
“Cheryl, who? Cheryl Cole? What does she do on the show? I don’t have a television and I don’t know who she is?”
As my jaw dropped open I realised she really wasn’t joking as she looked completely perplexed. Giving her the benefit of the doubt I said: “Cheryl, from Girls Aloud.” But still to no avail. Singer Joss looked utterly dumbfounded. A PR for the star pitched in nervously and said: “She really doesn’t have a television.” I didn’t doubt her!
But it’s not even as if Joss has been living in America for the past few years – she’s been in Devon and hardly ventured out of the country. Bonkers! Anyway, the songstress also spoke to me about the outcry over her American-style accent that was first exposed at the 2007 Brits when she presented an award with Robbie Williams. She certainly didn’t have a Yankee twang this time – she was elegantly British when we chatted!
Joss, who releases her fourth album Colour Me Free in October, told me: “You have to just say ’so what’ if people slag you off in this game. If people don’t like me, what can I do? I’m a nice person and I know that and the people that matter know that.
“Sometimes I’m in America and sometimes you pick up a twang. Big deal. I will talk however the f*** I want to.” I have no idea if she’s been a nightmare in the past – she was a joy to talk to. Even if she doesn’t know who Chezza is!
