Joss is lending her support to an intiative designed to raise awareness of hearing problems.

The goal of the Hear the World Initiative is to educate the general public about the importance of hearing, the social and emotional impacts of hearing loss and the benefits of available solutions for those with hearing impairment. (according to the Hear The World Website)

The campaign was started by hearing device manufacturer Phonak and includes many other artists including Bryan Adams, Amy Winehouse, and Common.

According to an interview on the site Joss states “Being able to hear means that you can enjoy all the sounds of the world.

The intiative includes an ad campaign and Joss also appeared in the Hear the World Magazine

Her outfit was way too revealing and the skirt was both hideous and short. What was worse was her hair. She had it up, which she has been doing lately, but this time she corn-rowed it. It looks awful in my opinion.

The british media is already taken to criticizing her for this new hair.

Joss performed the night before in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and looked like her normal self so I don’t know if she was just trying to do something outrageous for the awards show or what.

Joss wore a bright fushcia dress and had her hair pulled back. Once again as you can see she performed barefoot. She performed Tell Me ‘Bout It” and “Bruised but not Broken”

Also at the event were Randy Jackson from American Idol ,Star Jones formerly of the view, John Legend, Kelly Ripa, Kelly Rowland and many other stars.

Joss looked very elegant on the red carpet with her hair up in a bun and very simple make up and jewelry. She wore a pink dress that is much more form fitting then her usual choice of dresses. She wore strappy sandles, that I am sure she took off once she had the chance.

Joss also performed at the show and once I am able to find a video of this, I will post.

Last week Joss came out and said “”I’m never having a manager ever again. I’ve had four in the past five years and I hate them all.”

Since then there has been backlash from some of the former managers and as well as the press. Multiple articles have called her a brat and “Mariah Carey wannabee”

In an article in the dailymail former manager Ron Stone states

“If she’s not careful she could derail her career. Joss wants to manage herself but you have to consider her lack of understanding of the challenges in front of her. There’s no way she can make the sophisticated choices demanded because her life experience is so very limited.”

Later on in the article Ron Stone(no relation to Joss) calls Joss a Mariah wannabe. ”

The article continues on with more conversations from different managers.

I really hope Joss is able to overcome all of this bad publicity. She is not the first person to go through multiple managers. Hopefully she will figure things out and get back on track. I think a lot of criticism comes from the fact that she is so young and making these decisions on her own.

The event will area on TV this Sunday on ABC from 4-6pm. The event presented by Sanofi-aventis and Wachovia Featuring a dynamic mix of music, figure skating, and Hollywood stars empowering women, raising awareness, and inspiring action about women’s cancers.

The Devon songstress isn’t akin to declining good deeds. She has performed at the Band Aid 20, Live 8 and Live Earth concerts, as well as The Dream Concert which was a tribute to Martin Luther King.

People ask me and I say ‘yes!’ Simple as that,” the 20-year-old told OK!

“When people ask me to help anything that I believe needs helping, then you don’t need to explain why. If I can, and I have time in my day, I’ll do it.”

She added: “Why not? There’s nothing that would stop me from helping people.”

Both Joss and Aubrey have experience in the talent competition field, Aubrey was a contestant and winner on MTV’s making the band.

The judges are in the process of selecting 60 contestants between the ages of 13-25, who will be called back to be on the show. Thirty participants from those called back will earn a spot in the Showcase round of the competition.

According to the Press release” In the Showcases, the contestants will take the stage again to try to “wow” the judges and only the very best will advance to the semifinals. The remaining ten contestants will leave the comfort of the studio behind and “hit the road” for ten days of performances and more challenges that will test their abilities so they can prove they have what it takes to succeed in the music industry.”

From there, two contestants will compete in a live audience competition to be the “The Next Pop Star” with an opportunity to win a contract or cash prize.
