She Just Got Votes For The Other Guy
Filed under: Anglophilia > Joss Stone > Music Minute > Politik > Barack Obama
We found the first major flaw for presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
He's apparently a Joss Stone fan!
According to reports, Obama has asked 21 year-old Stone to record a track to use as the theme to his election campaign.
It seems Obama personally asked Stone as he was impressed by her appeal to both white and black voters in America.
So what about the other races?
And who really likes Stone anyway?
According to a source, most likely on Stone's payroll, word is “Joss is a big supporter of Barack Obama and was very excited to be asked to do this for him. He sent a personal message asking her to get on board."
The source adds, "He has always admired her music and thinks she is the perfect choice because of her unique appeal to black and white voters. She believes he is going to be the first black American president and she is honoured to be a part of that.”
Obama's also been supported by hip hop artists like Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, both of which have dedicated songs to him.
So why didn't he pick Alicia? At least that would have been a good choice.
We're still a bit confused by Obama's choice. Hopefully this is a fake story that Joss orher camp perpetuated!!!

who lisens to her music (idk even know if she has any out) really barack? she had one good song in like 04 wtf and that barley was good
GO OBAMA!!!
OBAMA IN '08 !
YES WE CAN!!!!
oh cool i was first.
This shows the level of HIS brain power of all the talent in the WORLD, he picked not an American, but a stoner from Britain.
Obama is a Cook County Illinois politician and an ego maniac and everybody is going to find out what it feels like to get fucked up the ass if he is elected president.
I like Joss, and her music!
Oh Perez…we both know that Joss has a great voice!
The fact you don't like her it doesn't mean that no one does.
but Perez, admit it…she has an amazing voice, so stop hatin on her.
Hmm. Sounds like he's on a celebrity level to me.
Maybe he should focus on not playing the race card and celebrity affiliation, and focus rather on creating a credible professional image.
wtf?
Well fucking great, here we go again with the race card crap! I give it 5 minutes!
Hate to tell you this, but Joss "Whore" Stone is completely talentless. I would not ever refer to her as a "musician", because in my eyes, to be a musician you would have to have some sort of talent. That she has not. How she ever managed to get some sort of fame for herself, i will never understand.
Maybe she just sucked off all the record execs or something, definitely her musical "skills" had nothing to do with getting a record deal. Also, i find her very ugly and disgusting. Her stupid accent, which she thinks is sexy, makes her sound like a complete fuckin retard, which she is too. What a stupid cunt

Bitch fucks for tracks!
Just because you hate Joss Perez dosen't mean we all do. She has a great voice. I love her. Of course she's not one of the teen Jonas Brothers that you love so much. Or the young Zac Efron that you love so much. But she can sing better then any of them.
doesn't he realize that she's rumoured to fuck for tracks. I mean it could be all false and she could be an angel. But no matter what why would he be associated with someone like that. Joss Stone has a worse reputation than scarlet johanson and we all know how the media spun that "relationship".
Also joss stone isn't even that current right now. Her last album flopped. Also she's NOT AMERICAN. How can you choose someone to do your theme song to become the AMERICAN president from someone that can't even vote for you. It's not like he's hard up on major stars to support him. He can almost choose anyone he wants to do this. Bizarre rumour.
This won't be the first mis-judgement that we will see from him, fortunately we won't feel this pne in our paychecks. And there is always the threat of him flip-flopping and picking Alicia after he polls the public.
Joss Stone is a pig! That NIG has no taste in music nor in women!
And oh yeah, that plastic surgery freak MiJac-Lookalike Scott Storch has said that Joss Stone is known for suckin dick for tracks. And im not bullshittin just do a google search you cunt-heads
So you hate Joss Stone….So we should all hate Joss Stone? WRONG. She has an amazing voice and I think that it was a great choice for Obama- She is soulful and will be able to interest another country into the campaign
Even though I don't agree with celebrity endorsment by any means.
Joss Stone is a talented singer and musician even though she doesn't have anything out at this moment, I hope she puts something out soon because she has the the talent.
Just because you have your beef with her it doesn't mean everyone else should. And you're being a wee bit biased towards certain stars, don't you think. Please just make fun of everyone not just miley.
I bet if he chose Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez this would be a COMPLETELY different post. (and if he did pick demi or selena, that would be a BIG mistake on his part because kids are too dumb to vote anyways.)a
That's the ONLY flaw you can identify? Really? Do you have to be gay AND Latino NOT to understand why this candidate is the worst pick for the country? And since when is race a factor? He has vehemently denied race being a factor in his campaign. Is that a little fishy to you or is that Stone's breath I smell? Could be both…
I think this guy Osama just wants to get his dick sucked, that's why he is reaching out to a prostitute like this cunt stain. She will suck that Osama's cock like it was no tomorrow, that dude's cock gonna be smokin after she sucks it extra hard. That's what she does, sucks cocks all day every day
PS. Even though she has a soulful vibe, wouldn't it concern Obama that he would lose a good bit of his fans by asking Joss "Fuck For Tracks" Stone to do this.
Ew.
Poor Joss. Her career has come to this. lol hopefully her little publicity stunt might put her back in the limelight and she won't have to fuck for tracks anymore. lol
I still like her music.
And if you have to use celebrity endorsement to up your chances of winning anything, you're kind of pathetic.
i love her sound. soulful goodness. i can see why he'd want her to make a lil somethin for him.
Re: piazzasbuttplug – Haven't we already found out with Bush…TWICE ?!?! Come on…we let one fuck up in, why not another…?
smokey smokey artichokey
whatever, she has a very nice voice.
Wino should get it together for this brother. Yes, they could….
i like joss stone!
IF that is the first flaw that you found maybe you should take another look
This doesn't make any sense since she's British and not American. I'm all for Obama but you'd think since he's running for the President of the United States that he'd pick a musician who is American. I'm hoping this isn't true, especially because I can't stand her.
Honestly, what ABOUT the other people? Latin, Asian and Indian people (not the Aboriginal type…but yeah, them too) exist as well.
if he wanted a brit, he should have picked Leona Lewis!!
Jeez, Why hate? Joss is a decent singer w/ a cool vibe. However, it would have been better if Obama would have picked an American…
It was obvious to me, and I am not even a politician, that picking a foreigner is a bad idea. And a druggie? I am sure this is not true. Maybe Streisand is available, since Hillary is off the docket!
"She just got votes for the other guy"
:l
HAVE AMERICANS NOT LEARNED THEIR LESSON. JOHN McCAIN IS IN BED (POLITICALLY-SPEAKING) WITH GEORGE BUSH, AND THAT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE. STOP HATING ON BARACK OBAMA FOR HIS GENETIC HERITAGE, AND START USING YOUR BRAINS TO EVAULATE THE ISSUES. THE FIRST QUESTION YOU SHOULD BE ASKING IS WHY JOHN McCAIN IS EVEN BEING ALLOWED TO RUN FOR OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, SINCE YOUR CONSTITUTION REQUIRES YOU TO BE A NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN. JOHN McCAIN IS NOT A NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN; HE WAS BORN IN PANAMA CANAL ZONE, WHICH MAKES HIM NATURALIZED, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER IMMIGRANT. YOU ALSO MIGHT WANT TO ENQUIRE AS TO WHO IS ALLOWING THAT TO BYPASS.

She can sing and the fact you don't like here validates my CD collection even more…
wtf
can she even vote?
P.S. There is finally a movement towards giving Perez a taste of his own medicine. Advertisers are being threatened with a boycott of their products and services, and word is that already half of them have pulled out; including his largest advertiser, MTV. I have not confirmed that information yet, but there are websites out there making that claim. It is wrong on every level to reward Perez Hilton with excessive wealth at the expense of the celebrities that he lies about, and for referring to women as Sluts and Whores, especially when women are 50% of the market for those advertisers.
:l
You truly are a pig of a man, Perez, and not much of a pig either.
:l
"First major flaw" Please, you gotta be kidding me. On a second thought you must be living with you head up your ass since you're supporting that fool just because he has a D next to his name.
I wonder how the Obamabots feel about a Brit singing Obama's theme song when they were so mad about Elton throwing a gig for Clinton suporters. Then again, neither logic nor rationality is Obamabots strong point. Accusing everyone of racism is.
you forgot kanye west, who when i saw him made sure to include in his rhymes who he was voting for. guess who it is
Who doesn't like Joss Stone? She has an amazing voice. She's one of the truly great talents of this generation. What are you talking about, Perez???
Re: PunkyBrewstein – YOU ARE CROWNED KING OF FUCKTARDS TODAY!
She's got a good voice. You don't have to like her as a person to see that.
Re: celticwelsh – ARE YOU FROM WALES? CYMRU AM BYTH!
i didnt realize anyone cared for joss whats-her-name anymore
Re: uraPIG – WHY ARE YOU SUPPORTING HIS SITE BY GIVING HIM THAT EXTRA HIT BY COMING ON! YOU DO KNOW THAT IS HOW ADVERTISER DERTERMINE WHETHER TO ADVERTISE ON A SITE BY THE NUMBER OF HITS A SITE GETS ie. POTENTIAL CONSUMERS! DUMB FUCK!
She's okay… I mean, I don't like her as a person, but not because of that I'm going to allow myself to say she's got no talent. I do like her voice and her music. I just don't really see a match with Obama and his campaign, though.
Joss has a great voice and hey i do luv her music!
VOTE OBAMA!!!YAY!
She's British
She's not even an American citizen.
And what black people find her appealing?
Just white suburban kids, and not even them anymore….
Well he is an idiot. I love his plan to solve the energy crisis by inflating your tires. He has more flaws than his taste in music, and you need to do your homework before you put this man in one of the most powerful positions in the world.
OMG - get real. Are you on Nobama's payroll? He is a major fuck-up that can't utter an intelligent sentence unless it's written on a cue card.
Heaven help us if this retard gets elected, because it'll be too late. Then - and only then, will people realize they fell for a fake campaign. {shudder}.
This guy is less qualified to run as president than I am. He doesn't even know how many states there are. Maybe they didn't teach that over in Indonesia where he went to school. He actually said "I've been to all 57 states". Most 2nd graders know that.
Maybe most 2nd graders have more common sense than this fraud.
Uh..what about the hispanic votes, the asian voters…what about them?
Does he know that she was photograph smokin a blunt….yeah..i guess he's going for the potheads as well.
i like joss stone. she's not exactly an "american sweetheart" so its good he didn't go that route. but i'll bet its cause that girls got soul~peace
Man, with this I'm almost not wanting to vote for him… Cone on Joss Stone. Her moniker should come with the words "only sings other people's hits"> Disappointing I can't believe that… She fucking sucks
Re: anajael – You are right, but do a search for Obama and "Todd Stroger". Obama, the consummate pol and thus obedient Democrat, supported Stroger and called him a "progressive". We are paying the highest sales tax in the country thanks to Stroger. Meanwhile his friends and family are getting rich off of us.
This only proves that Uncle Obama is going to let the junble into this country. This country is the USA.
What are you talking about Perez? Joss has an amazing voice. Her songs are lot better than the majority of garbage that you post on this website.
maybe he could get an AMERICAN to the song! thatd be a great start!
But I like HER–
I like Joss Stone! She is very talented! A good singer!
Why are you always slamming her? She's fantastic!
What a stupid comment, it really makes me believe that you are only voting for Obama because Ben and Jen, Matt and wife and other celebs support him! So what? if Joss performs for him are you gonna change your vote for Mc Cain??? I bet you will! That's way tooo stupid!
Uh….. NaS and Big Boi have songs supporting Barrack too…….The song NaS made is called "Black President" and Big Boi's song name is "Somethings Gotta Give" if you wanna check them out.
Somethin' tells me he should have picked an American artist…Isnt she from England? I am 1000% for Obama…But really…Not a great choice…Alicia Keyes would have been a great choice…Another thing…Have to stop this appeals to different races thing…Choose someone who will appeal to most AMERICANS…I dont see color when it comes to music…My ears just cant see, sorry…And in case you are wondering…I dont see color when it comes to people…Diversity is what makes the world go around…
xox, ilona rose
Hmmm thats his only major flaw… I think she is great, its Obama I hate
to tell you the absolute truth, the only reason Obama is a candidate is because he appeals to every single American. He is attractive, he is relatively intelligent, and he's just plain cool, right? He is though, I don't even support him, but I'd like to sit down and chill with him for a while. We are so used to this guy, George W. Bush, who maybe 15% of us can actually relate to, that we are so triumphant of the fact that we have someone cooler for which to vote. But the truth is, he is just like every other self-absorbed politician that we have going for us. He talks a cool game, but really, what does he offer???
MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES
I'm not your every day political blogger. I pay attention to what each political presidential hopeful says and does. John McCain is not the answer either. More government is not the answer. The United States is full of people who don't give a shit about the government. We could care less about the polls, and who gets who's demographic. We care about our families, our friends, and our money. Period.
The best thing we can do is wait for the person who says "I could care less what CNN.com says, I think the PEOPLE of this country should decide how our tax dollars are spent. Not via social programs, that work every once in a while, but what the people of this country actually want. Don't vote '08. Either way, we're F*ed.
Re: rbiz – Well out. I would love to see Obama get a talk show, and travel the world as a good will ambassador. However, his record in Illinois proves your point. He is just another politician.
Re: piazzasbuttplug – Well put!
I SMELL A SCAAANDULLLL!!!!! THAT WHORE FUCKS WIT OTHER PEOPLE MANS. OBAMA IS A NOBLE MAN SO FAR, BUT HE'S A LEO. BILL CLINTON WAS A LEO. AND POLITICIANS DONT SEEM TO HAVE SENSE WHEN IT COME TO THAT AREA. LET CROSS OUR MIDDLE FINGERS!
Re: Leader of the sheep – THE ONLY PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT RACE IS EVERYBODY EXCEPT OBAMA. HE GOT WHERE HE IS BY BEING EDUCATED. BUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU CAN'T GIT OVER THE FACT HE LOOKS BLACK.OBABMABOT? I THINK NOT. HOW ABOUT 'EDUCATED MASS'?
i love joss stone, she can ACTUALLY SING!!!
Interesting choice…. Can she even vote being a non american?
Wow…that is the best flaw you can come up with you simple minded dumbass PEREZ ?
How about him being unpatriotic, only till recently, how about never being proud to be an american, how about not saluting the flag, how about not covering his heart during the national anthym ( until recently ), how about only have served 142 day in congress, how about only being a community activists, how about only being elected to Senate by default, how about no experience to lead this country, how about not having passed one piece of legislation, how about representing the most liberal area of Chicago and doing a shit job of it !
Gee, I would think those are more important, but obviously not, since PEREZ is such a dumba ass neddle dick DOUCHEBAG ! Your such a dumbass ! You care more about his music selection than the facts that should matter.
Stop fucking Teddy….he does not like your neddle dick in him !
What's wrong with an American Singer Obama??
She looks higher than a kite!!
Re: Dijhili – Your photo is inapproprite wouldn't You say?
It kinda looks like the mics are giving the middle finger.
that wasn't such a good call.
maybe hes paying her with some dick.
Re: Dijhili – dude you're too angry, man smoke a blunt.
Maybe he didn't choose Alicia Keys because
ALICIA KEYS IS A RACIST
ALICIA KEYS IS A RACIST
ALICIA KEYS IS A RACIST PIG
WHAT AN ARROGANT PRI*K!!!
.
GEE.. THE PROBLEMS OUR NATION IS FACING NEED TO WAIT WHILE I PLAY GOLF IN HAWAII AND HAVE A SONG WRITTEN SPECIAL FOR ME BY THE "FOREIGN" ARTIST OF MY CHOICE!!
.
KINDA MAKES THE SCARLETT JOHANSSEN STORY PLAUSIBLE. I'LL BET ITS TRUE THAT HE HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO TEXT SCARLETT WHILE OTHER PEOPLE ARE WRITING HIS SPEECHES!!!
.
HE'S DOING MORE TO MAKE THE MCCAIN AD WITH BRITNEY AND PARIS SEEM MORE AND MORE HONEST!
.
HOW BOUT CONSULTING WITH ECONOMISTS OR MILITARY LEADERS?!?!
.
PS - JUST TO TAKE THIS A NOTCH TOO FAR… THIS GUY SEEMS TO HATE BLACK PEOPLE MORE THAN GEORGE BUSH!!! HE HATES LUDACRIS, BUT LOVES SCARLETT, JOSS AND GEORGE CLOONEY!! EVEN WHITE PEOPLE ARE ANNOYED BY THOSE 3 EMPTY POMPOUS "STARS"!!
.
TEAM JESSE!!!
.
HE ALSO SEEMS TO BE GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE "WOW … HOW COOL AM I? … GLOBAL SUPERSTAR … YEAH THATS ME!"
.
AT FIRST YOU COULD SAY IT WAS JUST THE BLUE COLLAR FOLKS WHO FELT HE WAS ALOOF. HOWEVER, AS AN EDUCATED, WORDLY PERSON, EVEN I THINK HE IS GETTING A BIT BIG FOR HIS BRITCHES!!!
.
I HOPE HE TAKES THE "KENNEDY IMAGE MAKEOVER" HE IS TRYING SO HARD TO COPY TO THE LEVEL OF SCREWING A BIMBO CELEB. NOWADAYS WE FIND THAT SHIZ OUT!!!
.
JUST ASK JOHN EDWARDS!
We don't need mudsharks from the UK interfering in the US election process. Stay the F OUT of US politics, foreigners!
I love Joss ! Fuck u Perez! And Obama sucks!
Maybe he could have picked someone, I dunno, say…FROM AMERICA?
