The only reason everyone here noticed is because we all have the song memorized. but think about the general public. the don't know her songs well enough, so they probably didn't notice a thing.

I think that she is trying to hard to evolve into a sex symbol, when she's already beautiful without trying. The WWSYS was a desperate try at something new, and it just didn't work. I can understand though. Wouldn't you get tired of playing that song for 3 or 4 years the same old way. Unfortunately she was experimenting on nationwide television, but that's how you learn. Secondly, I didn't like the eyeliner, but her face did look bad because of bumpy skin undreneath. Her hair looked really pretty though:) As for YWMFM, It seemed like it was forced emotion to me. How emotional could you get on the old SNL stage in front of a bunch of people with bad taste in comedy after touring forever? Jewel is amazing, but you can't give 100% all the time. I don't know I'm kind of rambling, but that was just how I perceived it. I think she should take a major break to settle into stardom. leslie ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 May 1997 16:32:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Philip W Poje Subject: YWMFM Good day all, (and happy mothers day to all the mothers on the list) I have now finally seen the second(?) version of YWMFM. The one where Jewel is singing in the theatre and there's all the blue lighting. It was great. In my own oppinion, I would have to say that it is much better than the other version. I don't know, maybe it's just me but I found that it seemed to sound and look better; in part perhaps to better/different editing techniques? I've also got the Rolling Stone issue with her in it (on the cover) and I'm so looking forward to reading it as soon as I get a chance.

For what it's worth, here's my two cents worth. JEWEL - THE MOST TALENTED SINGER/SONGWRITER SINCE BOB DYLAN AND JONI MITCHELL It seems to me that what we are witnessing is the conflict between artistic integrity and the pressures of the music industry. No matter how much we love Jewel and enjoy every opportunity we have to hear and see her, whether it's on CD, MTV, VH1, talk shows, radio interviews, or in concert, lets be honest, last night's performance on Saturday Night Live was not Jewel at her best. Sure, it's always fun to hear a new version of a song and yes (as many postings have mentioned) "her shoes were cool" and her see through blouse was very attractive, but face it that's not why we love Jewel. The people on this list call ourselves EDAs because we, in our own unique ways, have been deeply moved by something that we sense in Jewel. I would venture to say that, for most of us, that "something" has to do with Jewel's simplicity, integrity, sensitivity, sincerity, kindness and , yes, humor. The record company executives would be wise to let Jewel be herself. She is a true artist and her music effects people not because of see-thorough blouses, sophisticated hairstyles, high-heels, heavy makeup and over-produced bands. I submit that Jewel's strong appeal is largely the result of her standing out from the pop music industry status quo. Her debut CD, recorded almost exlusively live, is already triple platinum and she's had a number one single for over eight straight weeks because she is a fresh wind blowing in a stagnant music scene. Numerous articles have appeared lately moaning over the poor sales, even by established artists, plaguing the music industry. As a person who has been an avid listener of music since Bob Dylan burst on the scene in the mid 1960s, I've observed the trends of pop music through the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. I saw the Beatles and Rolling Stones on their first tours of the United States, was at Woodstock, saw Eric Clapton with the Cream in a tiny Greenwich village basement cafe, and saw Hendrix live, not to mention practically every major band and singer/songwriter to come along. In my humble opinion, Jewel is the most talented singer/songwriter to emerge since Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. I believe that understanding the career of Bob Dylan, can shed light on the phenomenon of Jewel Kilcher and what promises to be one of the greatest musical careers in pop music. For those of you who are too young to know what comparing Jewel to Bob Dylan means, I'll explain. Most music critics agree that Bob Dylan changed the course of popular music. Before Bob Dylan appeared on the music scene, most pop songs were usually catchy tunes with rather meaningless lyrics. I remember growing up in the 50s and listening to songs on the radio like "Bee Bop A Lu La" and "Doo Doo Run Run". Sure, we enjoyed those songs, and many still do when we hear them on an oldies station, but few would declare them to be great art. Then, along came this singer/songwriter from Hibbing, Minnesota, named Bob Dylan, playing an acoustic guitar, who was actually saying something. His early songs were in the great American folk tradition of Woody Guthrie and dealt with important issues like war, social injustice, racial discrimination, love gained and lost. He was a visionary poet, like the French poet Rimbaud or the beat poet Allen Ginsberg. His songs could be read like great literature. He became the voice of a generation and inspired many of the greatest pop stars that followed, including the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. John Lennon once said that he was totally in awe of Dylan's songwriting and tried to copy it. In fact, once when the Beatles were on one of their early tours of America, Dylan came over to visit them at a house where they were staying in Los Angeles and he yelled at them for having the ear of the world and not saying anything. Dylan changed the course of popular music, by returning music to it's roots and by stressing content not form, stressing meaning not theatrics. But, there are forces that every artist must deal with that are constantly trying to mould them into a slickly packaged marketable product. Record companies are motivated by profits and the careers of record company executives are dependant on sales. The bigger the sales, the better for their careers. What is on their mind is how can they develop an artist to attract the largest audience and obtain the greatest possible sales. And hence, there ensues an inevitable battle between the artist's integrity and the pressures of the market place. This is very well documented in the recent book "The Mansion On The Hill" by Fred Goodman. Here is an excerpt from the Introduction that I believe relates to the situation that Jewel is facing in her career. "Subtitled Dylan, Young, Geffen, Springsteen, And The Head-On Collision Of Rock And Commerce, Goodman's ambitious chronicle takes its central image from the classic Hank Williams ballad the sobering contrast between the singer's austere solitude and the grandeur of that unattainable hillside home, a concise metaphor for the gulf that divides the archetypal musician from the industry's power elite." "It's clear that there are both heroes and villains in this saga, which documents the often overlooked, but central importance of the '50s folk community in the gestation of rock culture, as well as the enormous impact that a handful of impresarios had on the packaging of talent. In particular, Goodman focuses on three influential artist managers the late Albert Grossman, David Geffen, and Jon Landau and how their handling of superstar careers shifted the balance of power between artists and record companies." "In the process, Goodman builds a unique social and cultural history of rock, retracing its pre-Beatles genesis from a marginal phenomenon shunned by the mainstream US industry prior to its primary commercial engine. More critically, he explores what rock's success has meant to the music itself, asking tough questions about the conflict between artistic authenticity and commercial careerism, and whether rock truly changed the world, or was changed by its own empowerment and the contradictions and ambiguities of a generation that spurned and sought success with equal passion." Jewel is a great talent. As I said before, in my opinion, she is the most talented singer/songwriter to emerge since Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. I agree with Ron Shapiro, as quoted in the Rolling Stone article, "She has one of the most God-given voices I have ever heard an artist be given". The people at Atlantic Records were right when they recognized her talent. The people at the Innerchange in San Diego knew it when they packed the coffeehouse on Thursday nights. The residents of Homer knew it when they took up the donation to send her to the Interlochen School of Arts. We, her fans, knew it when we first heard her, wherever that was. We love Jewel for being Jewel, the girl who grew up on an 800 Alaskan homestead without electricity, plumbing or media. Her voice rings out like a clear bell amid the din and clamor of an over technologically complex world. She returns us to our roots, like Dylan did, writing songs that say something, that reconnect us with what's true and essential, our hearts. As she says, "In the end, only kindness matters". I'm struck by the opportunity that Jewel has to be an agent of cultural change. Her inner purity, combined with the charisma (personal power) she possesses, allows her the opportunity to set a tone and, in a sense become a living magnet to draw society in a more healthy direction. I once read an interesting article that analyzed the disproportionate influence that Bob Dylan had on a generation (and huge numbers of other singers) regardless of his relatively small record sales and few top ten hits. The author mentioned that despite Dylan being recognized as "the voice of the sixties", his fans were actually a very small segment of the population. What I'm intrigued by is Jewel's strong appeal to a segment of society that are sensitive and idealistic and who savor her purity which is so rare in the world they've grown up in. I respect her as a voice of reason, a lighthouse of inspiration, in the sea of cynical self-indulgent nihilism typified by a plethora of mediocre grunge bands and over-hyped media creations. Jewel is a fresh breeze that's redirecting her generation, and society at large, back to a respect for nature, life and each other. Like she says in "Faith Poem" "I am trying to move mountains with words... Where is the weapon with which I may fight this apathy that feels like sleep in my limbs that loosens my brother's smile That kills my neighbor's daughter This pen is scrawny and hardly seems able to ink out or erase this plague that infests my Generation This Giant, This Ogre This Beast, This Death that assumes a million faces, that borrows my own. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ "Everything is holy! everybody's holy! everywhere is holy! everyday is in eternity!

First off about the show itself, everyone needs to go back and watch the old SNLs with Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, etc. Those were really humorous. Second, Jewel's performance was good. I really enjoyed the Hard Rock Live performance (for example) more, but everyone seems very negative about this one. I think maybe it was because it was late and everyone was tired or something. Anyway, I thought the sax added something to WWSYS, except for the solo. I think if the solo was removed it would be great. As for the mistake, it was minor and I am sure upsetting, but everyone makes mistakes and it reminds us all that we and those we admire are human. I really liked YWMFM, she was definitely "in the groove" for that one. Hopefully Jewel is enjoying her European tour, and I hope she gets some time off soon to rest. I can relate with that, as school is finally done for the semester and I get to rest some. One year left!

Well All I would just like to let you know that i am the newest angel here. I heard about this mailing list because i also subscribe to the angry-psychos mailing list. Its for the artist Poe in case u dont know. I heard Jewel shortly after I heard Poe. I must put my 4 cents in about David Letterman, The makeup didnt look all that bad i think, but due to the time she came on and the other stupid garbage i had to watch it just wasn't worth it for here to come on for 5 to 10 minutes. I didnt see the Saturday Night Live SHow Last Night. Oh Well. Also could someone please email me privately at evilprincess314@juno.com on how i can recieve copies of The Innerchange Days and any Rare Angels tapes that have been made. Thanks A Bunch!

Angels: I don't apreaciate that some of you are saying "stop the criticizing of the Jewel SNL performance " . First this is the Jewel mailing list , this is not the "We all worship Jewel, and everybody gotta post loads of nice things about Jewel " list. I think that everybody who has posted about how they didn't like the SNL performance did it in a tactful way with the purpose of constructive criticism. We have posted thousands of times about how great a jewel performance was , and how they loved this song at that concert . This types of post repeat themselves for they say the same thing , now why can't people post their feelings of desilussion after a performance which some people thought had been pushed . So I say let the people postwhatever they want if they do it in an orderly , non-offensive manner! until then your auto cheap archangel : Rafa - - Mr. Poltz , please stop touching my ass...

She was stocking it at the time, so I asked if I could take a listen...WOW!!! I went from track 1-14, completely amazed at her vocal, lyrical, and allegorical talent, not to mention the fact that she wasn't some genius at guitar (so I could play it myself at home). I bought the album immediately. I heard WWSYS on the radio one day in 96, and was really happy that i bought an album before it got played on radio.

Typical, I'm usually outdated! My one song would be: Angel Eyes by the Jeff Healey Band. Anyone remember this one? My alternate would be: I Love You by the Climax Blues Band (early 80s). I heard it today at the hair place while I was getting my mop chopped.. Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers (and to everyone else, for that matter)!

I always wait to make sure I like at least two of the songs on a CD or tape before buying it, so I thought, why not? The tape I bought was broken so I didn't listen to her very much until my roommate gave me a WALL sticker a few months ago. From the moment I brought the copy that worked home, there was nothing else in the stereo; we listened to Jewel constantly. Her song I'm Sensitive really drew me to her, because I connected to the song so well...so I guess you could say it was that song that brought me to this list; because I loved that song I loved her.
