Wow. That must have been intimidating to sing in front of Aretha....but she honored her with true rendition of the song and with her humilty towards Aretha at the end. Class act!
Haha, I think the best part was at the end when she bobbed that cute little curtsy and then scurried off like a little kid who's just met her hero, which was basically what had happened. Love Joss!
This old-timer thanks BET for televising this and having Joss on the tribute show. I saw Aretha's entire career, and, yes, she IS The Queen of Soul. James Brown was The King. Joss Stone is, IMHO, the best singer in the business today ... one of the all-time greats ... in the very first rank. Soul is about feeling ... not about color. Janis Joplin said that 40 years ago. She was right. Anybody can have soul. I honor black artists. Dig deep into my faves and see for yourself. Joss!!!
Joss grew up listening to her parents Aretha albums....those were only influences in music growing up, so it was only natural that she has so much soul, I love Joss! I wish people would stop saying she's trying to be black....she's not, she's just an outstanding artist, with an outstanding soulful voice!!
LOVE this performance! If Joss did this for me, i would've appreciate it a little bit more than Aretha does! Damn I would've jumped 20 feet high! Still love my queen Aretha!
this is phenomenal!, Joss is likely the only human being that could pull this off, in front of the queen? she nailed it. don't happen often, I recall Travis Tritt nailing Georgia on my mind in front of Ray Charles, only cover ive seen to compare it to.looked like Aretha appreciated it, I know I did
If Joss Stone really wanted to, she could make a tribute album to Aretha and cover all the hits we love. All while paying homage to the QUEEN. If anyone can do it, Joss can do IT!!!!!!!!!!
wow, this girl is amazing! such an unique voice! her album was the first i ever bought. aretha is one of the best, yes, but so is joss. she's so young, nice and warm hearted.
To do this song in front of Aretha and NAIL it...even when her knees had to have been shaking under her dress...lawd what a talent! And her reaction...what a special talent.
my goodness... i'm speechless, incredible performance... to me that's the best performance of this song..ever! joss is incredible... she's got soul... well done girl, you are fantastic!
Soul isn't a matter of color its a matter of feel. The ability to inspire feeling with one's voices and damn if she don't do that well. But so did Carol King
Everytime I hear this young lady sing, I always think that if Aretha Franklin did have a daughter, and she could sing she would sound just like Joss Stone.
if anyone knew about Joss..is that she grew up listening to Aretha and her record was the frist ones she bought..this is her idol.. who cares if she sings black or white...the point is this is raw talent you don't see any more, with auto tune and remixing crap...this is what you hear and how you hear it for what it is..realx and enjoy it.
She gave me chills. Tome that's enough to praise this performance as a great one! Really good, soulful at its best. I'd just like to see Aretha a little happier about it.
i love me some aretha and she is such a great singer.. and i am soooo glad that they let joss sing to her cause joss was one of the best singers for this song.. joss knows she sang this song.. she did her thang.. you go gurl..
Thats right we should all try to be brothers and sisters and when i hear music from joss or aretha it inspires me to try.. it doesnt matter if a inspiring talent is black or white
This is absolutely awesome!! Joss is one fo the greatest voices of our time... she's got Soul, talent, beauty and luck!! I love her!!! The only thing that bothers me a little abou this vid is the way Aretha keeps looking at her... (I love Aretha so much, she's amazing) it seems like an "arrogant" look she's giving Joss... very unfair in my opinion... If I were there, listening to such a talented young girl singing one of my songs, I'd be thrilled, and people would be able to tell that... ;)
Joss can sing AND she sang this one from the heart. I think she's one of the most talented singers of her generation.
She has soul, she has emotions, she's a Queen Diva.
Wow. That must have been intimidating to sing in front of Aretha....but she honored her with true rendition of the song and with her humilty towards Aretha at the end. Class act!
Joss is not for everybody, only for those who really love music. She is the best.
Joss got the nod of approval from The Queen Aretha.
I wonder why Joss Stone is not as popular as Adele, considering she has those great soulful vocal as well, not to mention that she looks great too.
Haha, I think the best part was at the end when she bobbed that cute little curtsy and then scurried off like a little kid who's just met her hero, which was basically what had happened. Love Joss!
I love how Aretha is just sort of hanging out over on the side.
She killed that WITHOUT shoes! YESSSS
She is so cute and authentic and full of passion! --My hero! What an outstanding performance!!!
Not many can pull this one off. Joss mad props. Keep music alive.
She's just got the right voice for singing soul!
Bless you Joss.
This woman is out of her mind. Loaded with soul. fantastic.....

Look at Aretha sitting there like a Queen on the throne!!
I love how she storms around stage barefoot!

No pressure Joss, but you nailed it girl!!
Joss has a fantastic voice!!

I wish people would stop saying she's trying to be black....she's not, she's just an outstanding artist, with an outstanding soulful voice!!
now that's a classic moment!!

She can really put her emotion on the song, and performing like there's no one else but her. A great performance by Joss Stone
It's her thing. She always performs barefoot and has since the beginning of her career.
Good Lord that woman is the most perfect thing that ever was created....Thank you lord for Joss Stone!
Within the wave of British female singers, she's probably the best vocalist. Yip!
LOVE LOVE LOVE her with dark hair!!!!! she is sooooo amazing!!!

i love her.
Wow she really did an Amazing job, Joss is incredible.
joss is really awesome!!...to me is the best "natural woman" cover!...far away....

I think even just the head nod from Aretha means a lot coming from her! she really has that diva attitude
Beautiful soul

She's so natural, she don't need shoes :) This is a performance I can love!
OMG! JOSS KILLS THIS CLASSIC ARETHA TUNE! I AM SOOO LOVING THIS!
This woman is a miracle. Her voice and expression belie her real age.
She seems really impressed by Aretha, that's cute! Her way to greet in the end is really cute too! :)
Great perfomance! Love it.
To do this song in front of Aretha and NAIL it...even when her knees had to have been shaking under her dress...lawd what a talent! And her reaction...what a special talent.
