I must admit that I never used to like her and after that BRITS moment (which on reflection isnt even that bad) I always thought she was abit stuck up however I've recently been listening to her alot and I've fallen in love with her stuff, never realised she had such a unique and powerful voice.
Just had a look at her discography and was shocked to discover that she's done alot better in the US than she has over here. Her last four albums have been top 10 hits in the US but have barely made a scratch in the UK?
I would love to see her live, are there any more fans out there?

I'm surprised JS still lives here considering what almost happened to her3 years ago. Love her version of Womack and Womack's Teardrops.

She has a solid fanbase here though. I think it was more a case of the 07 Brits and then Amy Winehouse that ended her UK career .
My favourite song is Proper Nice it's not her best but it just strikes a cord with me .
She came across really well in it - very easy going and down to earth and very far removed from the girl who first started out and probably was a bit mad around the time of The Brits.
The Superheavy project she did with Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart and Damian Marley was quite brilliant. I love the album.
She is supremely talented and has matured greatly. She reminds me of Charlotte chrch in a way treated as a commodity but managed to come through intact with her talent in check. And all her work post EMI has been supreme.
Yes they had a machete I believe and planned to rob her and if necessary kill her. and throughout she never sold her story or has little mentioned it good on her.
She is criminally under rated in the UK, it's so annoying!

Her band are absolutely fantastic as well.
She was worth about 20/30 million and used the majority of it to buy herself out. Otherwise she would of been sued. She was never happy on that label.
The fact she put aside her career earnings to take her career into how she wanted it to be, just deserves so much respect. Shows she isn't a puppet.
Definitely and her view on money is quite refreshing. I remember when I saw her being interviewed on This Morning and she said obviously you need quite a lot to record and make music because that's an expensive process but you don't need millions and millions and that it's unnecessary to have so much.
She is quite friendly with the royal family. Not BFF's but they do invite her to certain parties or events to perform and to have a a good old catch up.
