Joss Stone claims that Lily Allen is opposed to illegal music sharing because she is technically not a real singer.
The 22-year-old songstress, who released her new album Colour Me Free on Monday, said that musicians should accept the fact that music can be downloaded and to try and make their money from touring instead.
"She needs to sell records because she's not a singer, and that's not an offence to her because I think that she knows that too," Stone told The Mirror.
"I think she's a performer and she's more of a personality than she is a singer. But I think when musicians are really making real music people come to the show and that's what we make our money from, from playing live.
"I think it's probably harder for an artist like Lily and any other pop acts. It's really about the track and about their personality and their celebrity and that's how they make their money is selling those records.
"So the downloads - she's not going to win that fight. None of us will win that fight. So let's just accept it and let's see it as something that can be beautiful and it might change music for the better. It might sort the weeds from the flowers."
