Jewel is *possibly* better than Vanessa, she is so awesome. I love her awesome guitar riffs and beautiful voice. She is too amazing! She is very talented, and I can NOT wait for her new CD in June!
Anyone else like Jewel?

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Yeah Jewel is great. Better than Nessa though??? No, not in my opinion anyway. But anyway my fav song is Foolish Games.
-
LOL GSU! Blasphemy!
*possibly*
Key word. Not as good as Nessa, but on some songs... But not overall! :)

I like Jewel... she's not bad.
-
I adore Jewel in every way...
I think she is gorgeous for one.. but her music is amazing and her voice is incredible...
now if she could only get off that sappy silly poetry kick... ;-)
-
Yes! Jewel rocks! Not as much as V though, but she's awesome :)
-
Yup, Jewel is really really cool :)
I used to be a huge fan!! i still like her a lot though.
-
Her new single "Intuition" is really cool! It is a lot different that her average stuff though!
-
If you go to http://www.jeweljk.com/high/home.html you can listen to "Intuition" it's different from her usual but still very good.
-
I only discovered Jewel recently but i have This Way and Pieces of You. I think she has progressed a lot in her music and her lyrics. Her lyrics are so amazing:
The clubs are full
Of couples resisting being one
They wear their youth
Like badges that tarnish all too soon
We'll be a team
Our two will be one
Love will be our fortress
When all else comes undone
ahhh, i love her. lol
-
I like POY the best. I cannot stand her new single. I think she's moving in a direction that is sad -- the dance/pop tracks on the new record are, imho, her way of trying to be "young and hip" and make songs people can dance to. While that is all well and good, I think the single sucks because it's so cheesy and trite. I get her point, but I think there are way more intelligent and interesting ways to go about making it.
That being said, I love Jewel's voice, I think it's an amazing instrument, and I admire the way she survived on barely anything to make her dreams happen. I am frequently compared to her, which used to bother me a lot, but now I find it complimentary...
Just my $.02 :)

I understand if she's trying to go in a new direction... I'm all for experimentation and going in different directions and expanding your horizons and blah blah blah... BUT... the thing about this is that... there is so much CRAP on the radio... and Jewel is a big artist with a huge fanbase and a lot of support... she has the potential to record a truly great and original album... I don't think she'd lose fans/money if she did... but instead it's almost like she's giving in and just doing what is easy -- I'll be honest, I could write a song like "Intuition" in about 5 minutes, but I choose not to write songs like that. I know she is capable of so much more. Musically this song sounds like a cheesy commercial you'd see for a hair product or something.
Anyway... I know it's Jewel's career and music and Jessica is not in charge of either... I'm just saying I won't be buying the record :) I'm not opposed to pop music (hey, I have avril's cd :P ), I guess I'm just a little disappointed in her...... But I'm sure tons of people will like it and buy the record and make her even more rich, and I'm all wrong, so whatever :)

Jewel Refreshes
It is so refreshing isn't it?
-
I can't even say how much I love Jewel. POY was the first album I ever owned...I was in 4th grade, I think, not positive. I liked "Who Will Save Your Soul" but I didn't understand it then. "This Way" is just the best album. As for her new one...there's a few good songs. I love "Stand" "2 Find U" and "America". "Sweet Temptation" is also good. And the video for "Intuition" is awesome. My sister watched it and said "Er....I don't get it." :roll: And Jewel does refresh.... :D
-
People really have to give 0304 a try. Jewel did not sell out at all! She is such a good songwriter and has so many cool, new, funky, awesome songs on her 4th CD. I recommend everyone to dowbload "Leave the Lights On". That is the best song ever! The Intuition video is hilarious.
-

Oh my. Do you have any idea how old that makes me feel? Seems like POY just came out a few years ago to me.....

Sorry, didn't mean to make you feel old. :oops: LOL. Yeah, people do have to give 0304 a try. I was skeptical, but I love her so much I knew she couldn't have screwed up too bad. :D
-
A week ago, I saw Jewel's new video... I was flabbergasted. I think it's crap..... she's written songs, so fragile, so simple.... too bad.

They have a good amount around here. Except most the good ones are mixed in with the section of the band/artist. The "singles" section just has piles of American Idol and things like that, haha!

EXACTLY! They have some import singles with the band/artist but they have no US singles except for the Americal Idol crap, Celine Dion, and N'Sync lol
-
Yeah, they had some US Linkin Park singles, I have to order the rest off line as soon as I get some money though....It gets hard cause they pile up....haha...And "Numb" comes out the 15th...
-
i look in best buy, i found the atm australian import...but never any nessa singles besides that...and they make it so difficult to shop for music...and about the time i get to what i am looking for i have to go to the (TMI, so i won't say) or leave the store....
borders have a huge selection of like rare music like folk/bluegrass and international music...but they are a lil over priced as well. I like amazon.com.
-
Yeah, I was at wal*mart earlier this morning before school...Picking up "Heavier Things" and low and behold, "Intuition" single...haha

Haha, its really not what you're probably thinking. She was breast feeding a baby. But, you still get to see her boobs. It is a good movie. Toby Maguire gets his pinkie shot off. :lol:

I believe the video isn't a real video, but just a little something for the fans. The first single is "Again and Again".

I know. But it's still, technically, a music video. Again and Again will hit radios later this month, right?

Yay back to real Jewel! I SWEAR she has had plastic surgery on her nose! Have a look and try and deny it!
-
"Again and Again" is also kick ass. I'm so excited! This album is going to be unreal.

Seems like the typical old-school Jewel video, and I believe that was her real boyfriend at the end of it.

CD came in the mail today (damn Amazon) and it's awesome. I've listened to it, like, three times already. It's really awesome. My favorite track (so far) is "Words Get in the Way".

look in the goodbye alice in wonderland cover and you will see a picture where she stands in front of a tree with her guitar (the last picture i belive). here you'll see that her nose is as strange as always

I just went to the first Jewel concert that I've been too since her Spirit days and I was 13. But let me just tell you, she has gotten better than I could ever have imagined. She is doing a greatest hits tour and has that cd out (of which I bought a signed vinyl of at the show last night in Niagara Falls, NY).
Besides her amazing talent as a singer/songwriter, what I love most about her is her honesty and the way she reaches out to her fans. I constantly see her answering tweets or retweeting her fans. Also, on this tour she is taking REQUESTS for songs. She travels with a BINDER OF SONGS, so she can look up a song if she can't remember it. Granted, she will pick ones she knows better, but she has thrown in a few she hasn't done in years (per her). Looking at the set lists that people have posted on her website forums, she does pretty much the same material (but in a somewhat different order) with a handful different ones from audience request. She also played for almost TWO HOURS. She had no opening act, it was just pure her. No band, just her and guitar.
At this show, she opened with Near You Always (Pieces of You) which is one of my favs from that CD. She sang a lot of older material actually about half of Pieces of You, including Adrian which made me cry (she sang it for a woman she met in the meet and greet who asked her to play it as her son had been in a coma for 10 years). She only did I think 2 of her country songs and 2 brand new songs she has written, plus she YODELED at the end. As far as I can see from past set lists, this is the first time she yodeled all tour!
In addition to doing all this material, they are recording each show so you can buy the CD sleeve at the merchandise table (then later put the info in and get the CD sent to you) of the show you saw!! So no more worrying about getting the show recorded, you can just sit and enjoy!
Now, while I love Vanessa and her work...Jewel is just way more giving in terms of her fans. At the Iheartradio show she did a few weeks ago, she said to audience "I stalk her too" or something along those lines, talking about a fan whose tweets she follows. That's just unreal to me, especially after following the reclusive Vanessa! Don't get me wrong, I know why Vanessa does what she does, or doesn't do what she doesn't do, that's part of why I do like her as much as I do, but it was very refreshing to see Jewel, I'll just say that much.
I am just sad I can't finagle another show. Maybe when she releases another CD which I'm sure she will, she is just full of songs, it's amazing really.
-
Yes Jewel is great to her fans!!! She also made a few free shows for her fans. I was lucky enough to go to one of them in Texas back in 2011. She was like 7 or 8 months pregnant but played for 3 hours!!!!! She is amazingly talentend and nice and actually very down to earth. I love her. She has an autobiography written that will be out next september, its definitely gonna be a great read, since she's gone through so much. Plus, there's a new album - in the Pieces of you tradition, so Sarab, you might like it - on the way!

The new album is out!! Picking up the Pieces. It. is. a. M A S T E R P I E C E There are a few songs I skip over but she is singing to my soul in this album. it's just amazing. her raw talent, emotion.. it's just flawless.
Mercy is my absolute fav. while I love the arrangement, the song, the way it's sung ,and just everything about it in general, I would love to hear ta little vanessa piano twinkling in the background. I would also love to hear vanessa sing it/her interpretation of it. lyrically I could hear her singing it too. I also started reading her memoir (Never Broken), I haven't had much time to read but I love it so far. I already found out things I didn't know. album is a must have and the book is a must read.
