Joss Stone has a voice that can stop you in your tracks
The 20-year-old Devonian proved she is still a soul sensation
A hit album in the US may have silenced some critics but Joss Stone's career wobble back home has still been impossible to ignore.
Even partying with the princes at the Diana concert was never going to completely restore her reputation. So this performance, following The Simpsons premiere, may turn out to be a crucial turning point.

Ironically, Indigo felt a bit soulless and I was compelled to abandon my seat in the gods where the big screen was obscured by the lighting. Downstairs was better, with clear sound but little genuine buzz. Nevertheless, Stone once again lived up to her hype as a soul sensation, eschewing the funk flabbiness that can spoil this music.
With a horn section inherited from James Brown, a pair of diva-like backing singers and a mountainous keyboard player who also provided harmonies, her band soon established their prowess on the opening Girl They Won't Believe It. The 20-year-old Devonian, barefoot as usual, was clearly still a bit loopy, though, and her off-the-cuff credulity was often worthy of Homer Simpson himself.
"Ooh! Ooh! I love this tea," she started singing after fetching a mug from the side of the stage. She said her favourite colour was purple (like some of her hair), and started speaking like Ali G ("Aiight!").
Pop stars should be allowed to talk nonsense, although her introduction to Music, co-written by Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, tested that. "I realised the most unconditional love I've felt in my life from anything is from music," she said. "It's not going to run away or not call me back!"
This was a focused performance with Stone combining effectively with the band on her songs and covers such as Super Duper Love.
On the rollicking Tell Me 'Bout It, she introduced each member as they added bursts of Aretha Franklin's Rock Steady and Gnarls Barkley's Crazy. Her voice may not be as unique as some have claimed, but it can still stop you in your tracks.
For the encore, she threw carnations into the crowd and left the stage to her band during Bob Marley's No Woman, No Cry. But by then the job was done. Joss Stone is back on song.
Details are correct at the time of publication - please check with venue before booking.
Joss Stone has been vilified recently in certain sections of the press and the sales of her current album, so far have not matched their predecessors but tonight Joss let her "Music" do the talking. I defy anyone not to be moved when she sang "Right to be Wrong" and with the crowd singing it back to Joss, this was a pure love in. Her voice was supreme throughout, her backing band was tight and funky and was well suited to Indigo2. The new material sounded fresh and You Had Me was "FUNKTASTIC". The only downside was why didn't she sing Fell in Love With A Boy, that would have ended a perfect night!

This was the 4th time i've seen Joss and the best! This smaller venue suits her show and voice and she really excelled this time. She looked stunning too, and has perfected her show. Right To Be Wrong sent shivers down my spine. You have to see this amazing woman live to really appreciate what a talent she is. Britain should be proud of her!
- Shirley, Surrey
There wasn't a single person in the audience who wasn't thoroughly enjoying themselves! I love you Joss - and so do a LOT of others, people of ages and backgrounds. You should have your own chat show on telly.
