Joss Stone Defends Britney Spears

World Entertainment News Network reports that Joss Stone is coming to the defense of Britney Spears. “I’ve never met her, but I think she’s very beautiful and is a brilliant performer. She can dance her [bleep] off. I kind of feel bad for her,” the 17-year-old soul singer said. “I don’t like how people diss her. She never said she wanted to be Whitney Houston. She’s not trying to be Aretha (Franklin). She’s trying to be Britney. She’s great at what she does.”
