Davem I don't know how you can actually say that. While I like Chris' music, he is a pale imitation to Elvis' incredible voice. And I have EVERY album and several hundred boot tapes of Elvis. You probably have not really taken a look at Elvis' work, which is a BIG oversight, IMHO. Now back to your regularly scheduled Jewel, already in progress...

For one thing, I think tyhat it's pretty much done as a joke. I highly doubt that she's trying too insult anyone!!!

Who suggested this? Since Tori's kind of small-statured and Jewel's an "Alaskan type" -- big-boned and pretty strong from what I know -- I think Jewel has the edge. Then again, does it matter?

ANy guy who denies it is a liar, or most guys anyway. Maybe there's such a thing as studying film techniques. Imagery. Intelligence. Too lazy to press the TV on/off button. And maybe some of us listened to Jewel despite never having seen her. Stop the generalization, won't you. It's getting tiresome and potentially offensive. Plus a penchant for overstatement (you yourself wrote, "face it...we listen because she's hot") doesn't help some of us calm down and stop the flame-throwers.

Just as long as he doesn't try to speak for ALL of us. After all, look at how eloquently the fans of Jewel's music defended her talent. :) Gives me a very good feeling about the list. Just curious: how many of us fell in love with Jewel's music before ever seeing a picture of her?
