Credit to celebutopia. If you haven’t visited Joss’ official UK website, jossstone.co.uk, lately, then you probably haven’t seen that they announced that “Baby Baby Baby” will be the 3rd single off of Introducing Joss Stone. But that is not the worldwide single. After seeing Joss perform “Bruised But Not Broken” regularly for her US television performances, I thought it might be different for us. And it is. I contacted Joss over the weekend and she confirmed that the US single is “Bruised But Not Broken”. That being said, she was pushing for “Put Your Hands On Me”, like many fans have. Her record label chose “Bruised But Not Broken” as the 3rd single. I’ve uploaded Joss’ video performances of “Bruised But Not Broken” and “L-O-V-E” w/ Natalie Cole, from today’s airing of the Frosted Pink special on ABC. Frosted Pink is a two-year campaign to generate awareness of cancers that primarily affect women. In connection with this campaign a TV special will air this Sunday (on ABC). Figure skaters Kristi Yamaguchi, Sasha Cohen, and Kurt Browning will perform as will musicials Anastacia, Babyface, Natalie Cole and Joss Stone. Peggy Fleming co-hosts the event with Sharon Osbourne. The 1968 Olympic gold medal winner and skating commentator is a breast cancer survivor, and Osbourne battled colon cancer. So be sure to tune in on Sunday from 4-6 PM (ET) and visit www.frostedpink.org for more information. Joss was in Nashville, TN yesterday to tape an episode of CMT’s “Crossroads” with country music superstar LeAnn Rimes. The show was created to show the far-reaching roots of country music by pairing country artists with musicians from other genres. Each episode will feature a different set of stars playing together, swapping stories and sharing their common love of music. For more info on the series, visit the show website. See a video of Joss and LeAnn together here! ETA: CMT has released some more info on the taping, along with the airdate and performance pieces.
John Legend, Patti LaBelle, Joss Stone and Chaka Khan are scheduled to perform without compensation at Denise Rich’s G&P’s Angel Ball on Oct. 29 aboard her 157-foot yacht in New York Harbor. Proceeds will benefit Rich’s G&P Foundation for cancer research. |
