I was kind of surprised...not that I didn't *want* her to win, I just thought some of the other VIDEOS were more elaborate. After all, it was a VIDEO awards show. It's not about the artists, songs, etc. Just the videos. But I'm still happy she won...although if I had to pick one, I would have preferred her to get Viewer's choice. But Prodigy's VIDEO was pretty cool too. Derrick ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Sep 1997 09:50:04 -0500 (CDT) From: dkaracos@marlin.utmb.edu (Derrick) Subject: This should answer everyone's questions The question being...does Atlantic have too much control over Jewel now? I know this list has debated that for some time now, but I think last night, at the MTV VMA, Jewel answered that. I'm sure Atlantic wanted her to do Foolish Games, with it being her current single, and she CHOSE not to. I hope this convinces all the doubters that she is still her own person and isn't being brainwashed by the corporate world. Her perfomance was amazing. She looked amazing, sounded great, and I could tell the audience really enjoyed her performance. You could have heard a pin drop when she was singing. Then they cheered alot when she was through. And no see-through gown this time! Should keep the media hushed for awhile. Her hair looked longer, very pretty. I was so suprised to see her perform...she wasn't supposed to originally. That alone made it worth watching the show.

An *entertainer*. Some tag other things on him, like satanist, etc., and while I'm not really a fan of his, I admit he does know how to entertain. I won't get into the musicianship part...but it's all like a broadway show...he's theatrical. And as long as people buy the CD's, he'll keep being that way. It's an ACT!

Is that true or was he > kidding? If it is true, what cereal? K> This reminds me of many people (not necessarily here) who have ufairly slammed Jewel for "selling out" and being "too commercial". The cereal box comment seems to refer to this but it only shows that she is one of the least commercialized popular singers around. Unlike Hanson, Spice Girls and others (I'm not slamming) she has no posters, no Bopper magazine covers, no Pepsi tour, no school folders or paperback books for sale. In merchandizing terms she is completely undeveloped. If selling herself is what she wanted, she'd have hired an ad agency to liscense her name and image to what ever they could find. There'd be Angel Standing By nightlights and Racecar Driver Hotwheels. Or how about WWSYS foot massagers?

Similar to the way that much of Jewel's music is not represented by her three hit songs, the same is with Prodigy. Their older tunes that weren't hits on the charts are excellent for being techno (granted, not everybody likes this kind of music) and sounds nothing like Breathe or Firestarter. I suggest you listen to a few songs from Prodigy's Experience if you haven't already, then make a judgement about them.

I mean, when Will SMith won, Jada Pinkett was clapping and smiling, but when they showed Jewel getting up from her seat to accept the award, her boyfriend not only looked totally uninterested, he actually looked _bored_.

This place is so cool!! I'll just tell you about the Jewel part. I was walking in and I saw this cardboard standup popup whatever thing of Jewel. The picture of her is exactly the same as my poster. Ya know the one where she is sitting in front of the tree. The cardboard thing is like 15"x10". On it..it has Jewel..Pieces of you featuring the hit single "WWSYS" from her gold debut album. This must be kinda old cuz..now the album has sold like 5 million copies. On the bottom right corner it has the POY cover. When i first saw it i asked the owner of the store "Is this for sale?" He was like "NO!" When i was ready to pay for all my NIN stuff that i had gotten and a few Tori postcards, I asked him again about the Jewel thing "Do you give those away after or something?" He was like "Give me $5 and I'll give it to you" Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a short span of six days, the world has lost two extraordinary individuals whose selfless acts and tireless involvement with various charities have inspired so many people. Mother Teresa and Princess Diana will always be remembered and their deeds will be revered. (on a totally unrelated note, I think Chris Rock did a poor job at the VMA.

By George Varga POP MUSIC CRITIC September 5, 1997 San Diego singer-songwriter Jewel regards her music as a source of hope and inspiration, and as a means for establishing common ground between her and her listeners. So it's not surprising that Jewel's Sept. 20 Hospitality Point concert at Mission Bay is a benefit for an organization called Common Ground. But just what Common Ground is, and her involvement with it, remains unclear. "I think it's a charitable group Jewel is starting, but I'm not sure," said concert promoter Bill Silva, who is staging the benefit here. "I don't have any information about it," Rick Roskin, Jewel's booking agent, said yesterday from New York. A Los Angeles spokeswoman for Jewel's record company, Atlantic, said the label didn't know anything about Common Ground either. Jewel's manager, who was with the singer in New York for last night's MTV Music Video Awards, did not return phone calls. What is known is that the Common Ground Jewel is lending her name to is not affiliated with either Illinois-based Common Ground -- USA, which "promotes justice and prosperity through taxation of land values rather than labor," or Common Ground Network for Life & Choice, a Virginia organization devoted to lowering the rate of unwanted pregnancies. It is also known that tickets for the benefit, Jewel's first major show here since a sold-out April 4 gig at UCSD's RIMAC Arena, will go on sale at 10 a.m. tomorrow at Ticketmaster. Tickets are priced at $39 for gold circle seats, $25 for orchestra seats and $19 for lawn seats. For more information, call (619) 220-TIXS.
