Why do these have to be competeing to sing? Oh THEY AREN'T. They are SOUL singers. There is no competition in soul singers. They are both amazing singers and both of them know it. They both respect the hell out of each other. SOUL SINGERS DON'T COMPETE FOR THE STAGE. THEY SHARE IT!
Joss is singing naturally and is faking nothing!!! If you saw her live you'd know that. She is amazing and so is our Beverley. Two British queens of soul. I'm proud of them both :-)
Two amazing singers, one fantastic song,with a great band behind them. I remember in about 2005 the great radio presenter T.Wogan pushed this song hard for Beverley, he called her the Wolverhampton nightingale.
The Queens of British Soul! Josh Stone and Beverley Knight!! OMG, these two women went in! They have the most incredible voices and they are definitely underrated!
Okay I just discovered Beverly literally 15 minutes ago and I thought Melissa wiped the floor with Joss during the Grammy tribute to Janice. But Joss made up for it here. I think Joss has a little more grit. But both were great! Off to listen to more Beverly
beverly our midlands sweetheart cupcake wen redman be like ayyoo beverly on ya oldskool ish xx an u look damn special in that frock love u 4eva an i be listenin to gangsta shit like d block but beverly is my boo an u joss love u super duperly
ok you know nothing about joss and her stage. 1st of all the volume of joss' microphone is lower, it's obvious and normal too, cuz she presents beverly at that performance. 2nd of all, joss'd been singin for a long time that moment, so every throat gets tired.
Both very talented singers and an excellent rendition but go and listen to Janice sing it and it just doesn't compare. Janice sang from a place that doesn't seem to exist in other performers.
and it should be lower, beverley outshines her big time here. and of course her throat gets tired singing like that if she's putting it on, it's hard if it's not a natural sound but it's hard to tell if it is natural or not because that's the only way we've heard her sing - she's obviously one of those singers who grew up imitating her american soul idols.
Joss Stone performance of this song is superior to Beverley and Janis Joplin. See the Salvador, Brazil concert of 8-31-13. Beverley is great, however, and puts her heart into it, but Joss has the voice.
***** Thanks for your comments. My thought, really, was that I feel Beverley over-sings this song, making the feeling less believable. But, she is really great. Double thumbs up on your Rihanna and Miley comment, and there are many others to include.
***** Joss Stone lip-syncing!!! I doubt we will ever see that with Joss. She enjoys singing and performing too much. Lucky you, y'all, seeing her live. Thank God for the internet and You Tube.
Both great singers but for me personally Beverly is flawless in both vocals and stage presence. Have seen bev live up close 3 times and hope to see her again.... amazingly talented and a really nice person. :)
jeromegraves23 If you think Beverly over sings then that must go for all soul singers including Aretha whitney Chaka Khan, Will Downing Luther Vandross etc etc the list is endless. Because that is how you sing soul. No such thing as over singing in the soul world. that how we do it and that so called over singing as you call it has been attempted to be copied all over the world. Beverly blows.
Beverley sings Joss to the ground at the beginning and later reduces it to a maximum of 70% so as not to “destroy” her completely. Unfortunately, the woman is far too good and sweet for show business.
