Joss Stone at the BRIT Awards 2007

You can always rely on the BRIT Awards for at least one moment of toe-curling embarrassment. This year, it was young Devon-bred singer Joss Stone who upped the cringe factor, strutting about the stage in a day-glo dress and offering "big love" to the rehab-ensconced Robbie Williams, before attempting to upstage Amy Winehouse by singing a (clearly carefully-rehearsed) line from Rehab and cracking a lead-balloon joke about host Russell Brand. All, of course, delivered with a bizarre American twang.

What did you make of Joss Stone's guest appearance? Does she deserve the criticism that she's received?

    Give the girl a break, she is only 19 years old!
    It's the same old thing in Britain - rather than celebrate her success we all want to line up to knock her down!
    It's called jealousy!

    I think people need to give Joss a break, you forget that she is only 19 and most people that age are discovering their own sense of style and trying new things out...its part of life! As for the accent, that is what happens when you live in LA! My father is welsh but moved to england, he lost his accent or rather gained an english one, no different...blimey you people are shortsighted and cruel!

    Joss made a complete idiot of herself and made me want to vomit. It was an incredibly fake speech and as for that accent... Words fail me!

    What an embarrasment, who does she think she is, we found it too cringing to look, she aint in the same league as Winehouse, The Yanks can keep her for all we care.
