(15 Jan 2004) STORYLINE: 31 mins approx 1. Sit down interview with Joss Stone, soundbites inlcude: "I got signed when I was 14 by Steve Greenberg who is the head of S-Curve in the UK. I was talking to him for ages, my people where talking to his people and all that kind of stuff. Like my managers and mum and dad, they were negotiating the contract for ages, for months and months and months so it felt like ages but in a way it was kind of quick." "Absolutely amazing and she's my age, so she's got an incredible voice and seems really down to "I don't know it is such a hard question when people ask me when did you find out you can sing, where does it come from and how do you sing like that. I have no idea, I just open my mouth and it comes out and that how it sounds, I'm lucky I guess, it's just a gift that I have been given so I better use it for the good rather than the good you know." "Steve was like, yes we're going to cover this and make it into a soul record and I was like, OK, I don't know how you are going to do that he's like it's OK. don't worry we are going to do it with the roots and we'll get Angie Stone in and Betty Wright and I'm like OK I'll do anything to work with the Roots and Angie Stone. So I think it was a good thing to do. I really like it now." (on meeting White Stripes): "They were outside the hotel I was at and it was a coincidence and I went up to Jack and said I'm sorry I hope you like it and he said what are you talking about I love it and he said we play it similar to that now. It's not the exact version it's still the White Stripes it's the same kind of rhythm, their version is so fast, it must be easier to do my version because it was slower. I could never do it that fast, I couldn't breathe." 2. WS stage at HMV 3. Performance - Joss Stone 'The Chokin' Kind' 4. Performance - Joss Stone 'Super Duper Love (Are Your Diggin on Me?) Pt.1' 5.
