Joss: Lily Isn't A Singer

Joss Stone Joss Stone has taken a pop at Lily Allen's singing credentials.

The 22-year-old soul singer has hit back at Lily's claim that internet file sharing should be made a criminal offence.

Joss told The Mirror: "She needs to sell records because she's not a singer,"

To smooth things over Joss then added: "and that's not an offence to her because I think that she knows that too."

Hmm, we're not so sure.

Joss, who recorded her new album Colour Me Free in her mother's live music bar Mama Stone's in a week, believes music should be shared for free whenever possible.

Lily Allen - Not a singer?Joss added: "I think she's a performer and she's more of a personality than she is a singer. But I think when musicians are really making real music people come to the show and that's what we make our money from, from playing live. And I think it's probably harder for an artist like Lily and any other pop acts.

"It's really about the track and about their personality and their celebrity and that’s how they make their money is selling those records."

She went on: "So the downloads - she's not going to win that fight. None of us will win that fight. So let's just accept it and let's see it as something that can be beautiful and it might change music for the better. It might sort the weeds from the flowers.

"Who said that musicians have to be millionaires? Who made this a rule? We don't need that much money. We just don't. We only need enough to make music and to eat and to go on tour."

Over to you, Lily.
