Jewel - the singer, not the case...

Yea ok if she looked like Rosie Odonnell she would still have all the fame she has, grow up man. Dont tell me she doesnt sell her sex as part of the package, and what do you care what anyone says? Oh yeah one last thing, you remember jokes dont you, listing quotes of her songs is a nice touch, I was in high school last time I did that.

Hey, I just posted that I enjoyed her concert and her music after never before having paid attention to her. Then you came in and immediately posted your backhanded comment. Lots of women sell sex these days as part of their presentation and none of their music finds its way into my music collection. There's plenty of women singers much better looking that Jewel, for sure.

And what do YOU care what anybody says?

And, for the record, I'm surprised such a tough guy like you even quoted songs in high school.

Came across the thread, never heard of 'Jewel' before. Whilst browsing the missuses cd collection I came across the cd by Jewel 'pieces of you', thought whatoh I'll give it a play. Its actually quite good, lovely voice, nice songs, and well produced.

Chadlinz, what's wrong with Rosie's appearance? She is a living proof that good thing does not come in a small package and size does matter. My vote goes to Joan Baez. Jewel is a runner up for singing talent and Rosie needs to meet Richard "See-mon" for physical therapy.

I'm tellin' ya Jewel is top tier, not some "runner up." You have to see her unplugged stuff live, songs that don't make it to the CD's. Best CD is Spirit, followed closely by This Way and Goodbye Alice. If one prefers a rock sound over folk, that order reverses. Skip 0304. Never cared too much for Pieces despite a couple of good songs. I think it was the production.

But nothing comes close to her girl-and-guitar live performances. You can't tell her capabilities off of her CD's. Spirit comes closest, but her voice has matured a great deal since 1998. Try and find clips of her two Nashville Star performances from 2007.

Despite a tendency to lyrical navel-gazing, Jewel is a great vocalist.
