You know that song by the white Stripes? The one that kinda got them recognised? Fell in Love with a Girl?

Well, there is this girl named Joss Stone who does another version of it with the Roots called "Fell in Love with a Boy".

Normally, I'd just think it was a cover of the White Stripes, but the thing is that Joss' version is twice as long as the White Stripes' one. So the question is this: did the White Stripes write this song? If not, who wrote and who performed it?

Nope, White Stripes original... it's surprisingly easy to pad out covers anyway. I've heard a cover of Led Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused that tacks on almost an extra 4 minutes. Although Led Zep themselves could supposedly make the song go on far longer. :o

Far as I can tell, it's a WS song she covered...

Yeah, I checked the album it's on on allmusic.com, and the writing credit is "White" i.e. Jack White.

Well, that's interesting. It's a pretty damn good cover, IMO.

But then I cream myself anytime I see the Roots on TV.

She covered the song, she's got a good voice but she seems too bland

Not to mention her album is full of covers

There's hardly many second hand songs worth bothering with

I heard a clip of the song, and it seems slowed down. Probably explains the extra length.

It was the record lables idea to do nothing but covers.. Next album will be original shit.. She recorder it live (as in, she was singing while a live band played).. She's also 16 hottt, and Brittish.. She sings like an old fat black lady...

She's awesome...
