“She needs to sell records because she’s not a singer” — the Mirror.

According Joss Stone, Lily Allen is making a fuss over downloading music because that is the only way she can make money since she’s “not a real singer’ who can make a living from touring.

“She needs to sell records because she’s not a singer, and that’s not an offence to her because I think that she knows that too. I think she’s a performer and she’s more of a personality than she is a singer. But I think when musicians are really making real music people come to the show and that’s what we make our money from, from playing live,” Stone tells the Mirror.

“I think it’s probably harder for an artist like Lily and any other pop acts. It’s really about the track and about their personality and their celebrity and that’s how they make their money is selling those records. So the downloads – she’s not going to win that fight. None of us will win that fight. So let’s just accept it and let’s see it as something that can be beautiful and it might change music for the better. It might sort the weeds from the flowers.”
