Popular with middle-aged mums about the land type Joss Stone has told a website that she's quite keen on quitting music to pursue a rather different career path.

IOL.com quotes Stone as saying: "I want to be a midwife. It must be the nicest job. I don't want to be a singer all my life."

Stone goes on to say that she's already becoming bored of the lifestyle of a mega-selling pop star:

"Everyone thinks, 'Oh my God, they're having so much fun', but let's be real. These people had to get ready for four hours, they're in high heels that hurt, talking to people they don't know, having pictures taken every five minutes. That's not a party."

Boo fudging hoo.

going around the world playing music is the best job in the world. Add to that the whole 'being loaded' thing and it sounds like a party to me! Ungrateful bint!

According to Jo Whiley she won't because she has, and I quote, "Music in her blood"...

.

if you were a proper, credible popstar you wouldn't have to do all that stuff she's moaning about

Fact is, if you got signed because you are white, and can do an impression of a soul singer, you are just a puppet of the racist american music business, and pretty much all you are good for is standing there and being, um, white.

being a midwife is hard fucking work

Any job in the NHS is, but midwifery might actually be the hardest. It certainly isn't the "nicest".

Oh wait, what am I saying? Jossy would never work for the NHS. She'd work for some private cunt clinic in Islington, and everyone knows the rich pop out sprogs smelling of freshly mown grass, smiling and toasting the nurses with claret all the while.

i'd

quite like her to naff off and be a midwife. it would be much more rewarding than singing other peoples songs in a sub-aretha franklin wail. lets face it, it wouldn't be a huge loss to music.
