BEAUTIFUL soulful voice
why is that picture the one on display? she looks very mongoloid, i had to look her up on google images to believe her ethnicity was english
She does look kind of Asian.
she just has a chubby face
and small eyes. explanation?
maby her mother have had an affair with some EAST Asian man. suffered from yellow fever..
I know for a fact that she is of pure British parentage because her mother is friends with a friend of my mum’s and said friend has met Joss’ father too. No Asian ancestry to be found.
Also, for anyone still questioning her ethnic background, my cousin has similar shaped eyes to Joss and has an olive complexion but has no Asian ancestry to be found. She is of half Welsh and half English (and very distant Scottish) descent. Her skin colour comes from my Welsh Auntie and her eyes come from her English Paternal Grandfather.
she’s not Asian, she’s English. Those features don’t let you passing in China
Andrew they are blind
Not only is she beautiful, she has a very talented voice. All of her songs are amazing, I mean EVERY single song !

She also has great songs
