A singer by the name of Gene Pitney wrote the song “Love my life away”, actually played every instrument, and produced it all by his lonesome. The song is great too. Joss Stone is smokin’!

That’s called “nailing it”!

Umm, talking about non-photogenic, have you ever looked at anyone in the rock, punk, and metal categories? Ever look at most rap and hip-hop artists for that matter? Heck, even some of the newer pop singers aren’t exactly “photogenic”.

And about not being a “gifted performer”, if you can write, play, and even sing the songs, what more is needed for a performance? Technically, you don’t really even need to be able to sing the songs, just go out and perform them, and get someone else to sing for you. Carlos Santana does that, and just think of how big some of his tours have been.

If it’s good music performed by an artist who can play the music well, weather they can put on a dog and pony show with it or not, then there would be no problem getting fans to come out for live performances.

And if they don’t want to play their music live, there’s plenty of other places to put your music. Movies, TV, advertisements, websites, there’s plenty of places to go if you want to just right, and not perform.

Thank you! Finally someone speaking sense who can clearly see the only place the music industry can go from here. I’ve been saying this for the last few years. In reference to the comment above, I wouldn’t generally want bang joss stone, but for saying what she;s said, I’d probably give her a quickie.

lets make her the new minister for e-commerce or what ever it is. just drop the accent!

they’ll still get performance income for the singing of their copyrights live. The future is broader licensing of digital/live outlets/forums etc.

Wow, you mean musician may have to work for a living without huge companies extorting money out of the public for them?

Welcome to the work force.

I kinda like lily when she isn’t pretending to be the center of the universe.

@2 Great idea Solitaire. The money is only going to the music corps. Might as well send 20 bucks her way. Oh and a rose=P

You don’t have any ideas, but you are certain that you are right and other people are wrong? Maybe your unspoken idea is that they should just work a day job and forget about focusing on the work that they are actually talented at. Because they should be grateful for the opportunity to provide you with free entertainment.

I would totally fk Lily Allen & perhaps try to change her opinion on Piracy. If it wasn’t for piracy, I wouldn’t know about her & I wouldn’t want to fk her if given the opportunity. I am afraid that she is just brainwashed by the mafia who she is employed by. The kitty is good, even though she is mixed up. She just needs to be re-trained as she has been brainwashed too long. Boycot mafia! I shared some of your files Lily Allen also & I made sure that I put them on the internet for a lifetime so they would have to remove the internet before your music will be off. I couldn’t help myself.
Kisses & Love,
