British songstress Joss Stone says that she thinks British people hate her. She’s been slammed over her style of dress and received nothing but bashing when she used a fake American accent at the 2007 Brit Awards.

She says that she can’t figure out why she gets so much negative attention from her own people.

She said, “A lot of people in this country hate me. I seem to annoy people. I’m always on the worst-dressed lists and I just seem to get people very angry. When I went out on stage at the Brits two years ago, there was an outcry because people thought I was talking in an American accent. I’m the sort of person who deals with conflict head-on, but my record company just canceled all interviews and TV appearances because of the fuss. I still don’t get what it’s all about.”

We don’t hate you, Joss. Come sing for us in the States!

Joss Stone is of the mind that maybe drugs like marijuana and other substances may make her more creative in the writing process.

The singer, who recently put up her house to release her latest album, said that she may dabble now and again, and it’s like “having a drink.”

She said, “I don’t want to take all those horrible drugs. Although some sound fun, so I might dabble now and then! I smoke cannabis, but I don’t think it’s really a drug. It’s more of a herb. I don’t regret saying that at all.”

When she was asked about the frequency of her pot habit, she said, “It depends if I’m working, and on what song. It’s like having a drink.”

She should do whatever it was that she was doing when she released “You Had Me” because that song was cool. So if she was doing Yoga standing on her head, hitting the pipe, then so be it.
