Joss Stone In Bed With Barack Obama - British Singer Records Election Theme

Did that headline grab your attention? That was the intention. Unfortunately, rather than having an exclusive scoop on U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama having an affair with Joss Stone, it was just figuratively speaking.
The actual news is almost as bizarre though, as it seems Democratic candidate Obama has chosen Stone to record his election theme tune. I assume he does realise she’s British.
According to The Sun, Obama is a big fan of Joss Stone, now much more popular in the States than here in the UK. He asked her personally to write and record the theme tune for his election campaign. He’s battling with Republican candidate John McCain to take over the White House from George W. Bush.
A source told the newspaper:
“Joss is a big supporter of Barack Obama and was very excited to be asked to do this for him. He sent a personal message asking her to get on board.”
“He has always admired her music and thinks she is the perfect choice because of her unique appeal to black and white voters. She believes he is going to be the first black American president and she is honoured to be a part of that.”
Does she really appeal to people of all races? She’s 100% pop, and as white as you can get so I doubt that very much. I’m also surprised to hear she knows enough about American politics to choose sides as she’s never struck me as the brightest button in the world.
This really does complete Stone’s transformation from a pretty young schoolgirl from Devon, England, in to an airbrushed diva who wouldn’t know where Britain was if you pointed to it on a map. Over the past year or so Stone has made it a habit to bitch and moan about her British fans, and she clearly now wants to be American.
I really hope she doesn’t screw up Obama’s chances as I kind of like the guy.
