I didn't mind it, but I liked the earlier stuff better, now I like >the new stuff better. I can't wait to her the rest! > >It just shows she's someone who will be around a long time... I was really looking forward to this album.... i just read a news article at mtv.com, which MENTIONS POE!!!!!!, and it had interview quotes from her... saying that she is aware that she is a "product" and she is doing what she needs to do to make her record company happy... as they employ her to make money for them, which inturns mean she makes money. she is making them money & that's why she is still on atlantic. i'm really wondering if this whole new image thing really is ALL her idea. granted, her last single "serve the ego" DID go to #1 on the billboard dance chart... (her ONE and only club mix release)... but poe did that too & she didn't go out, change her image & make an entire album. i saw jewel on the today show last week... she was wearing bright green fishnet stockings, WHITE highheal shoes, a black & purple striped 80's dress & her hair was all gwen stephani.... i do like the new single & i'm sure i'll like the new album... but if this whole thing IS NOT jewel's idea.. she's really "sold out" complete with a commercial tie-in with schick women's razors (and yes, tis can be justified by the fact that a large company tie-in does allow $$$ for touring (see also: poe, pantene pro-voice tour)... but anyway.. that's my $0.02 here's the link to the article that mentions POE: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1471736/20030506/jewel_pop_.jhtml OH.. and a quick note: (i know how this list is).. I'M NOT BASHING JEWEL... just making mention to things i have read/seen/heard/etc. i love jewel, and have been a supporter of her music since day one... i was AT the live recording session for the "this way" album... THE ALBUM IS NOT COUNTRY... and she actually said that at that session... "i'm making my record in nashville & i know people will think becuase of that, i'm making a country record... not true." - -rusty www.rustyshelby.cjb.net "Carry On" the new single from Alana Davis. http://www.alanadavis.org _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
