And she did so well here in Dubai...

British jazz lass JOSS STONE is upset after being rejected by fans and critics in her home country.

The singer - who has spent recent years working in the US - was mocked earlier this year at the Brit Awards for her American accent, and was booed after turning up late for a series of gigs.

But Stone insists her fellow Brits are only voicing their disappointment after she swapped the UK for America.

She says, "I felt kind of sad about it actually. It's funny because the only country that hasn't liked (my third album) is my own. It's just like, well, thanks guys! It's like coming home and having them be like, 'Go away, we don't like you!'

"It's the whole country and they're mad at me for being in the US. Maybe it's because I dye my hair, maybe it's because my accent is messed up. But I've got to let it go and get on with my music."

Stone's third LP Introducing Joss Stone failed to repeat the success of her previous number one albums, peaking at number 12 in the UK charts.

Awwww come back here Joss, we still love you. Mind you, we're hardly dripping in musical stars...
