Quote Of The Day

Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Anglophilia > Joss Stone > Quote of the Day

jossstone__opt.jpg

"At the end of the day, I don't give a fuckk if people have a problem with my accent. That's all I can say about it. The words I say do not change. If the way that it sounds is skew-whiff and you don't like it, don't listen. I'm not being a cruel person by sounding a different way. I made my album with a bunch of Americans. When people go to Australia for two weeks they come back sounding Australian - but the whole world doesn't turn round and say, 'Well, fuckk you.' Which is basically what England had done. Obviously not everybody in England. But the big press people. They were just like, 'You know what? We've decided we don't like you anymore.'"

- Joss "Will Fuck For Tracks" Stone

    I highly DOUBT I would pick up on an English accent if i took a vacation there, cause you know…sounding like a fuckin douche doesnt sound appealing… but please don't copy an accent that is totally opposite of your natural sound… because that makes you a try-hard loser…unless your amy..but not her…shes not allowed to.

    NOT TRUE! I grew up with the English and spent all my time resisting the alteration of my accent. When I go to Australia, I DO NOT pick up the Aus accent. I stay true to my vowels and my pronunciation, bc despite all the shit thats been going down with our foreign policy, deep down I am PROUD to be an American. Joss should be proud to be an Englishwoman. That is all.

    dude that is so true… i've moved a few times, to places that were totally far & different from each other, and you do easily pick up the way people talk. it's not so much as taking on a whole accent, it's just the way certain words are said. i lived in "the valley" of texas for a few months, and i would catch myself speaking with a slight mexican accent from time to time while i was there. i would also say the word "like" a lot more often lmao. and i was only there for a few months!

    I totally get what she's saying, because whenever my husband is around any of his friends who have a spanish accent, he also seems to pick it up. It's very slight, but I can hear it and it cracks me up. I also had a friend in high school who spent a summer in Alabama and DEFINITELY came back with a southern drawl. We're from San Diego. :) It's kind of how you can tell when people are really close friends. They have common phrases and words that they use, or ways of saying those words. And it comes out more when you're all together.
    Anyway, I saw Joss in concert and she was not only incredibly good, she was really sweet and funny.

    I would LOVE to meet the people that apparently picked up an Australian accent in two weeks… I'm Australian; born and breed; obviously I have an authentic Australian accent however I know many people who are from different countries, who've been here many years, and do NOT have an Australian accent, not even a hint of one. I was so annoyed I wrote a list!
    Pommies who've been here 52 years still sound like whinging poms… (sorry daddy)
    Canadians who've been in Oz for 10 years and retain their accent
    Swiss folk living in Oz these past 28 years still have a decidedly Swiss accent
    Samoans who don't sound any more Australian than they did before arriving here some 35 years ago
    And finally I know of some German folk who've been citizens of Australia for 49 years and yet they all have thoroughly German accents…

    P-Nasty… if ever you meet this ho'… you know you have to smack her!

    I am peruvian leaving in Germany for a long long time, and happy to say that after 15 years, I still having my accent, and when am I back home I maybe cann't remember some words, but I can't and will never speak like a spanish-speaking german! You can't forget your mother languange. The problem with this girl is that she got success and then looks like it was quite embarrasing for her to be english and wanted to be and look more american. That's why the uk people don't like here, or what it worse, don't care about here any more. Cest la vie!

    There's a lot of pretence in showbiz - she's silly, and yet no worse than any of her peers. If you don't like her then the thing for a normal person to do would be to ignore her. Maybe she's right - you're sick in the head. All of you.

    It's true one doesn't like poor Joss and one really is not sure why. Maybe the horrid hair, bad attitude and bland music does it. Also she called Sir Bob Geldolf "GANDALF" that didn't go down well this side of the pond. Toodle pip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    She is right in a way .Kylie Minogue puts on a stronger Aussie accent when she goes home there and in UK she puts on a phony post Brit accent ( well tries to ) press do not mangle her ( she was sick dint ya all know )

  54. Sam says – reply to this

    Nobody hits on Charlize Theron for using a yank accent instead of her thick Afrikaans one..no-one hits on KMinogue for phony British accents when in UK so WTF why pick on Joss Stone..it is so not important.

    it's nothing to do with your accent. England doesn't seem to like artist that abandon the fan base that made them in the first place, then come back to a UK award ceremony clearly high off your face with an ego to match, makng nonsense digs at other artists; namely Amy Winehouse. Regarding your accent, most people don't come back from America speaking like a soul diva from the 50s. Something is clearly forced. It's all a shame cos your records are good.

  57. H says – reply to this
    57

    The reason the press gave her such a hard time when she graced England with her presence at last year's Brit awards, was because she completely upstaged the Winehouse with a truly cringeworthy rendition of Rehab before Amy had even had a chance to perform it. She pranced about like she owned the place and gave really haphazard bizarre interviews with a twang that didn't sound quite American or English. She really does think she's the best and I'm sorry, the British press can't stand up themselves dickheads like her

  60. Larry says – reply to this

    It's all right, because the "big press people" in England really, really, really hate America, Americans and American accents, and they even hate Brits who have been in America and didn't mind being there. Average people in the British Isles criticize Americans a little but don't actually hate. It's fashionable now in the world to despise America, but they'll all get over it, because fashions come and go. They'll just go and hate somebody else for a while. Why not hate no one at all? This has never been tried.

  63. Sally says – reply to this
    63

    It wasn't just an American accent that pissed people of - it was because she came on stage at the Brits coked off her face, talking rubbish in an American accent and then tried to upstage Amy Winehouse by singing part of '"rehab" accapella. Only problem was, Winehouse sounded good, Joss sounded shite.

  64. Janie says – reply to this
    64

    I never liked Joss stone cos she's always come across as being up her own arse. One year in America does not give you such an accent (look at the Osbournes) unless you foolishly buy into Americanisms and think its coolER to be from there; being unique and British was one of her original selling points. This shows how stupid she is and star struck with herself. I would very much like to see this video of her slagging off Amy Winehouse, who is of course far superior and seems waaay more of a genuine person. Funny.

  65. janellephant says – reply to this

    um…she didnt sound american at all at the Brit awards. her accent wasn't as strong, but if she was talking to me i sure as hell wouldn't have thought she was from the US.
    leave her alone. she can sing her ass off.

    larry we dont hate americans, a quick look at our popular culture and the fan bases for people like rihanna will tell you that, we just hate bland fake idiots with no charisma. joss stone is about as fascinating as boiled cabbage. its true accents do change a little but even madonna only has a slight british twang and she's been living here for like a decade now.

    Yeah I think some people are more prone to picking up accents than others. I'm a Brit in the US and I do say some words with a bit of an American accent. I've been here over a decade though and I try not to! I think this girls problem is her attitude, not her accent.

    Re: andy – Yeah but America gave Madonna shit for her fake English accent…..which she lost after being given so much shit. And then it comes back again. Then she showed up in a movie with it….ugh! As if the interviews weren't bad enough……now it's 90 minutes of fake!!

    That is messed up about Amy though…I didn't know Joss did that.

    It's not so much that the English media are hating on her (although they probably are now), it's just since she 'made' it in the US and got lots of recognition, she sort of bypassed the usual "she's made in Britain" hype. The one time she was able to pull that Brit-girl-done-good act would have been the Brits when she was clearly on planet Joss, and I guess a lot of media who rated her when she was promoting the first album and the "Brit abroad" ident couldn't get with the massive jump to diva international when they'd seen nothing in between to justify it.

    I guess it's difficult for her in terms of fitting into British music buying market compared to the American market, but I guess people find it hard to identify where she's going as an artist and how she fits in when she' up against "tru- Blu Brits" like Amy Wino, KT Tunstall and Lily Allen.
