Since winning a BBC talent contest at age 14, she has released two hit albums, snagged two Grammy nominations and serenaded President Bush. Chalk it up to one more thing the 18-year-old has had to learn during her wild ride from southern England. The lesson: You might be young, willowy and talented, but show business can still rip you down. Then to the publicists waiting outside she screams: "Bring in the implants, girls." Apparently, I need a J-Lo bum or something," she says. Her face betrays the insecurity: Why would they do that? Why take the voice and not the rump? And is there something wrong with her rear end? This little editing trick genuinely freaks Stone out. That's not my bum, I promise," she says, watching the screen with morbid fascination. The camera pans to her pals, then to her face, then to what looks like her swaying rear. "That is so crazy," she says, as images of swaying bodies flash across the screen, everyone decked out in summer Gap wear. "Oh my God!"įrom a large-screen TV, Stone's GAP commercial is airing, the one where she's hawking white jeans by crooning her version of "The Right Time" for a few cute friends during what looks like an impromptu backyard concert. There she is, on a sofa in a Midtown recording studio lounge, watching music videos, chatting about her unlikely career as a soul singer, when her attention gets distracted.
NEW YORK (AP) - It doesn't take long for a meeting with Joss Stone to quickly descend into the surreal.
