I think people are making too big a deal about it. I was somewhat amused by the music starting before Jewel did. She was probably irritated by the incident but will probably laugh about it later. She did a great job of recovering and also the anthem was beautifully sung. And about people singing live I am currently listening to Radio Angels '96 (thanks to Jay Johnson) In an interview on the tape she is talking about singing the Anthem for the Orioles I believe. She mentioned how difficult it was to sing the anthem in a large stadium due to the feedback- i.e. hearing yourself a few second after you say something. I think its better to Pre- Record and end up with a better performance. So somewhere along the line somebody goofed and started the recording to soon I say oh well everyone makes mistakes. And in honor of such a beautiful performance and due to the fact that it is time for me to spread the wealth a little since I have a small angelfood collection- I will make copies of Radio Angels '96 for anyone who wants to email me back. Would like to trade for stuff I don't have but will copy for anyone who wants to send a blank tape.

The article includes quotes from Lenedra (Jewel's mom/manager). Carrie was going to type it up to post, but I found it online, copied it and saved her fingers :-) Since you need to register (username & password) to get to the archived web site, I'll post the whole article here. To go to the paper's web site anyway, go to: http://www.uniontrib.com/ To register to get back articles etc (On Jewel, Java Joe's etc), you'll have to try to go to the paper's archives, then register there. Once registered, the anthem article is here: http://www2.uniontrib.com/news/uniontrib/wed/currents/news_1c28popbeat.html Mike :-) the article: "Red glare of doubt bursting over Jewel's Super Bowl gig" By George Varga - January 28, 1998 Did she or didn't she? Did top-selling San Diego singer-songwriter Jewel sing the national anthem live at Sunday's Super Bowl game? Or did she lip-sync it, as a number of TV viewers and Pop Beat readers maintain? The answer to that question depends on whom you ask. At a news conference at Qualcomm Stadium last Friday, Jewel said she would be singing live-to-track, which is standard procedure at many professional sporting events. It's also common practice at dance-pop concerts, which often feature vocally challenged young artists who can only dream of matching Jewel's soaring singing style in general, let alone her dignified reading of the anthem. By one definition, live-to-track means a singer is performing live over a prerecorded instrumental backing track. By another, it means the entire track - -- including the vocal -- is recorded live, and the singer is lip-syncing. For TV viewers, Jewel's vocal began a split second before her mouth opened at the beginning of the anthem Sunday. Therefore, it would seem, Jewel was lip-syncing. Pop Beat, which covered the anthem live on the field from an obstructed corner of the end zone, did not have the same vantage point as TV viewers. So we called NBC-TV, which broadcast the Super Bowl, for clarification. "NBC is not in the position to do that," Ed Markey, NBC's vice president of sports communications, said Monday. "You'll have to talk to the NFL." Come on down, Steve Brenner! A veteran NFL spokesman, Brenner emphatically stated that Jewel sang live-to-track, and that indeed meant live. "She sang over a track," he said. "It was a live microphone, and she sang along with her own voice. I've been involved with the last 12 Super Bowls, and it's always been that way, where they have it on track and the artist sings along, the same way as Whitney Houston" (who did the anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl). But what about the gap between the start of Jewel's vocal being heard on TV and the start of her stadium performance just after. "There was a (technical) miscue," Jim Steeg, the NFL's director of special events, said Monday. "In fact, the whole anthem thing started about 20 seconds earlier than it was supposed to, because NBC was supposed to come back to us (the NFL producer) and they went straight to her." Moreover, Steeg said, there were actually two different audio tracks. One was completely prerecorded, Jewel's vocal included, for TV broadcast only. The other was for those in the stadium and enabled Jewel to sing live as soon as she caught up with the prematurely cued TV audio track. "One is going to the stadium, and one to TV," Steeg said. "What we were trying to do was have them be in sync. We didn't (succeed)." So TV viewers heard a lip-synced anthem by Jewel, while those at Qualcomm Stadium heard the real thing. Case settled. Right? Wrong. "Actually, it wasn't live at all," said Jewel's mother and co-manager, Nedra Carroll, who was with Jewel at the Super Bowl. She said that Jewel's microphone was a prop. "I just spoke with the NFL, and told them we would answer this question frankly." (Jewel, who was attending the American Music Awards in Los Angeles, was unavailable for comment.) "Jewel requested she be able to sing the anthem live, a cappella," Carroll continued. "They (the NFL) said they were now discouraging artists from doing it live. They thought it worked much better for artists to do it on tape." As for Jewel's comments at the news conference Friday about singing "live-to-track," Carroll said, "that was the way it was talked about, and Jewel answered that way automatically and later thought it was kind of misleading, which she didn't intend it to be." But what about the insistence by NFL spokesmen Jim Steeg and Steve Brenner that Jewel sang live? "I would anticipate both Steve and Jim were of the impression it was live-to-track, (although) I will not, and can't, speak for them," said Rob Heller, a talent consultant to Super Bowl entertainment coordinator Bob Best, who was unavailable for comment. "The fact is it (Jewel's vocals were on) a prerecorded track," Heller continued. " . . . If it was up to Jewel, she would have enjoyed doing it a cappella." While acknowledging Jewel's performance was completely on tape, Heller maintained this "certainly doesn't violate the integrity of the performance, because Jewel did an incredible job." Reached later, Brenner said, "I stand on what I said before," then added: "Basically, the NFL allows the artist to sing live-to-track, so it's up to the artist." Absolutely not so, said Carroll. "Jewel wanted to sing it live, and they (the NFL) said no. We asked them a couple of times." In a post-anthem interview Sunday, Pop Beat asked Jewel if she considered taping her vocal. She responded: "I hadn't, um, I was, I don't know; I just didn't do it." Asked to clarify, Carroll said: "All I can do is go back to what happened. She wanted to sing it live, and the NFL said no. So I guess she was thinking, 'I won't go into all of that.' I know there was no intention to mislead; it's hard to be precise in every word."

She joined Poltz onstage for three songs that she co-wrote with the fellow San Diegan: "Silver Lining," which is the first single off his solo album, One Left Shoe, due March 17 on Mercury, "I Thought I Saw You Last Night," and "Old Lover's House," which is a song by Poltz's band, the Rugburns. Referring to the much- loved, but not so sucessful Rugburns' last album, Taking the World by Donkey, Jewel joked, "My record went quadruple platinum and his record went double tin foil."... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 19:15:49 EST From: IciciLe@aol.com Subject: wwsys hi what does wwsys mean... sorry if i sound dumb i'm a newbie:) till next post.... - -genisis~the fallen anGel~ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 18:50:46 EST From: MAXMOUZE@aol.com Subject: Crossing Guard How come in the discographies of Jewel's albums, "The Crossing Guard" is never mentioned?

(the usual reaction when I say I like Jewel is "who!?!?!") Also I'm finding lots a new songs (at least new for me) on the internet now. Because in the last 7 months or so, that's how long I know of her music, I've only collected he PoY-album ,Angel Needs a Ride and Everything Breaks. But today I heard "My own private God's gift to Women"! Some days ago I wrote that YWMFM definitely was my favorite song ever. It will still be that way also because it's the first Jewel Song I ever heard, but this one comes close too! I wouldn't be surprised if more songs will come close in the next days for me. But don't worry I will not post that to the list everytime. I'm also listening to the songs in another way now. I'm paying more attention to the lyrics than I already did. I'm Sensitive is a song that I like even more now! Well, greetinx to all out there! I'm glad to be a member of this list, I really am!
