What Do You Feel?

I have to say the people of Zurich that came to my show tonight, were especially lovely. My voice for some reason was a lil' rough.  I woke up at 7 am this morning and I think this is the reason. However, the audience were so nice and into it regardless. I like to think that no one could notice except myself, but to those that did notice, thanks for sticking with me and hearing past my silliness. I contemplate not saying these things in the blogs... you know, make out like everything is perfect because isn't that what we are all supposed to profess to be? Well, I profess to be normal......

Every time I say 'normal' I remember that a friend of mine once spoke some true words to me 'normal is just a myth joss', and I believe he is right. A myth it is. Anyway I digress... Where was I? Oh yes. I sucked but the gig was good, if that's possible then it happened this evening. The audience are all that I care about when I'm on stage.  I know I can sing the songs, the band members know they can play it too, but can we make thousands of strangers feel it and believe it the very first time we meet? That is the challenge and the goal. That is what music is there for. To feel. Feel love, lust, anger, want, pain, something, anything but never nothing.

In interviews I have often been asked to define 'soul music'. My belief is that the reason why we love it so much is because you can't define it. Its like someone asking you to define true love. Its different for everyone, and its ever changing. Just mean it and you'll be somewhere close I guess. Who knows I'll ask the big man on judgement day and maybe he'll be stuck for words too :) So I am gonna sleep like I've never slept before tonight and tomorrow will be the gig of all gigs! I have high hopes and can't wait to slay the dragon of nerves I have so carefully created for myself this evening.

Goodnight ! Xxx Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

The Myth...

Thank God normal is a myth, it would be so difficult to find beauty in the world otherwise.

Soul

Ciao Joss !!! I fully agree whit you,Joss,about the meaning of "soul music". I sing too and so I think that this kind of music is really "the sound of soul", that is all our emotions that we have inside..... Come back in Italy! I love you! :-***

Posted by 2010-02-22 09:48:04

Thank you so much

Zürich shows

Hey Joss! I was in Zürich for your shows: both nights in the first row!! (the bald guy, do you remember me hehe?) I traveled a lot to get there and I'm happy I did it because you didn't suck at all. Probably you can sing better (you know your voice better than anyone else), but I don't mind: I really loved your performances. Your sax man talked to us after the show and he told us you were sick, and a girl answered him: "Really? We didn't hear it, she was perfect!". You're always normal, so just perfect. I asked him to tell you this for me: "If the voice is the reflection of our soul, then I believe you are the best soul in the universe". I really mean it. Thank you Joss, thank you for the flower!! My heart is in your hands and in your music. Hope to see you soon and to come on tour with you the next time ;) ps: baby baby baby, I really really love you! :)

From Argentina Gonnet

Joss. Your the best. My English is not very good but if you read this I´want to tell you that your the best voice I listened since Emma Fitzerald and Edith Piaff. Do you know Astor Piazzola? Be luck tonight. How do you come here to Buenos Aires? I´like your music and your voice is the sky. Bye. Thanks.

unique and special

Wise words.....I think "normal" dont exist..... everything is this life is relative, so as to people instead of the "normal" term I prefer to use "regular"...because each person is unique and special.... you asked "but can we make thousands of strangers feel it and believe it the very first time we meet?....in my personal opinion I cant say for sure....yes!...the first time I heard you sing my feelings were "lost" because issues in my life.... and I feel. Feel love, lust, anger, want, pain, sadness, my feelings back to me... Love :)

Down Under

Hey Joss! Any chance of you heading to Australia to do some shows?

Posted by 2010-02-19 11:35:47

hey

Joss..It`s amazing.. You talk about being normal, love and dragons.. :) let me say this: you are truely-true i guess that`s what i think that matters. That`s what it`s going to keep people like my self interested in you. You are Joss now to me, not a singer with incledible skills. And even sometime you think you sucked, be cool, we are many. We buy tickets, like we buy wine or beer if a lovely friend like you invites us to have a good time, so please, don´t be worry lovely princess. We just went to see Joss. In the end, that`s what matters. Forgive my english! Thank you.

You were great yesterday!

Hi Joss :-) Oh, don't worry! I think everyone there enjoyed your concert as much as we do. I was there with my best friend, because we both love your music very much. Neither she nor I have ever been to one of your concerts, but we had such a good time there in the third row. It was a very relaxed and intimate concert and we both went happily back home (and that's a way of 2 hours by train). So I wish you for this evenig an equally - or even better ;-) - evening with your audience Hope to see you soon! Love,

Posted by 2010-02-19 11:30:21

JOSS

No one can do like u do! You a star from the sky! Love and respect from Portugal!

Posted by 2010-02-19 11:30:07

tonight!!!

yay, tonight's the night! i'm gonna be front row :D (at least i'm trying :P) and i think your friend's right, normal's just a myth. a myth we created to hide the things behind we don't want to let others see. anyway, looking forward to sing with you tonight, even if you can't hear me ;) lots of love, peace and good vibes, Laura.

Posted by 2010-02-19 11:29:02

Ur the best!!

Dear Joss, What an amazing performance last night at X-tra - loved everything bout it - ur jokes, dress, the lil "right to be wrong" freestylin at the end, the idea of the white roses...SO NICE! Such a shame there's no tickets left for tonight :( Hope u'll be back in Swiss very sooon, enjoy the rest of your tour! Lots of Love & take care,

Posted by 2010-02-19 11:28:33

Wise words

Well spoken Joss! It's so nice to read all the things you write, because they're so true. Haha, I just can't disagree with you on any point! ;) Good luck tonight, hope your voice will be on its full strength again! :)
