[Carole Bellamy Subject: Jewel in Parade I was reading this weeks Parade Magazine and in Walter Scotts "personality parade" there is a little section about Jewel here it goes: Q: I was appalled by the woman who tried to make our National Anthem sound sexy at the Super Bowl. Dressing respectfully and singing our anthem as written should be mandatory conditions for anyone chosen to sing it publicly. Who picks these losers anyway?~~ Vickie Munden, Crowley Tex. A: The singer at the Super Bowl is selected by the NFL. The "loser" who performed this year was Jewel Kilcher, 23, a pop star from Alaska whose debut album went platinum. (You obviously didnt buy it) She decided at the last minute to lip-synch along with her prerecorded version, as some others have done at past Super Bowls, because it's almost impossible to sing the octave- stretching "Star-Spangled Banner" over the roar of thousands of fans in a packed stadium. Jewel missed her opening cue but caught up with the music. "I dont think I did great," she admitted later. It can happen to the best of them. Tim the paper angel, who by the way thinks Jewel did a good job while singing the national anthem ADDED LIST MODERATOR NOTE (correction to what was said in the article): It is well known that Jewel had no choice in lip-synching the Nation Anthem at the recent Super Bowl. The NFL mandates it to all singers of the anthem at the big game. The article was wrong stating that Jewel decided to do that at the last minute. In addition, it has also been verified that Jewel did not miss her opening cue. When the network came back from the commercial, they were supposed to go to the announcers for about 20 seconds or so. Instead, "they" went right to Jewel after a comemrcial break and cued the anthem....Jewel wasn't supposed to expect it for nearly a half a minute later. - Mike :-) ------------------------------ Date: 5 Apr 98 16:27:10 +0100 From: "Chris Groves" Subject: Jewel in Faces In Pop (May 98) The Hanson tribute magazine Faces In Pop is in the shops again! Unfortunately there's no pull out pin-up of Jewel, instead there's a rather nice colour A4 photo of Jewel. I think it's from the 1997 American Music Awards, similar to the Pyramid poster that is available. There's also a page of text which contains pretty much a standard Jewel history. These can be found on pages 14 and 15. Chris.

NOTICE FOR A FUN TIME! Hello everyone! Lately, there has been a big buzz out here onthe East (or "right" for those of you whose sense of direction is right hand/left hand) Coast. So many amazing artists, especially between New York City and Boston, and it seems like so little time. Well, one of these New York City artists is my favourite singer. Her name is Jenny Bruce, and it is one of my major crusades in life to introduce her music to everyone from the East to the West, from up to down, from backwards to forwards. Hell, this is how many of us have spread the news of Cindy Lee Berryhill, Joy Eden Harrison, Elizabeth Hummel, Lisa Sanders, Sarah Slean, Tara MacLean, Dayna Manning, Steve Poltz, Em Gryner, and so many more amazing singers. MARK YOUR CALENDARS! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! On SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1998 Jenny Bruce will be in my very own living room! Negotiations are under way for more amazing singers to come perform, and I will totally keep you all updated as more information comes in. This is a perfect weekend tobe in Boston, cuz the next day is Mayfest in Harvard Square...where they blockade all the streets, people can roam around and dance and celebrate, and there are little stages and concerts everywhere. What better weekend could there be for a livingroom concert!?!?!?!?!?!? Here's the lowdown... What: Living Room Concert Who: Jenny Bruce and others TBA Where: MY HOUSE, the abode of the ONE AND ONLY Greek Poet Chyck When: Saturday, May 2, 1998 Time: Undetermined for sure, but most probably show time is around 7 Invited: YOU!

Even slices of lemon, as I know that some people like their beverages with slices of lemon in it =) There is *incredibly limited limited limited* space for people to sleep on my floor, as Jenny and her husband will be taking the guest room, and it is not yet determined if other sleeping room will be needed for other artists (hopefully that will be the case!) I encourage you to all build on your Boston friendships and arrange for nightey-night situations. Should anyone be interested in staying at a youth hostel, I know one that is pretty comfortable, and it is definitely something that everyone should experience. the proprietors are wacky as all hell!! ;) I will keep you updated!

Sounds something like "??she says hold my calls from (something)?? The boss says come here....". The words in the lyric book go with the version she sang on Unplugged, not the regular album cut.

At least the 13-year-old girl can go to the mall and dream about compact discs. ``I go in and I can stare at them for five hours - not buy, just stare at them,'' the Rye, N.Y., resident said. ``It's so difficult to decide on just one.'' Ryan and her girlfriends are behind a big change in the music industry. Females bought more music than males last year for the first time since the recording industry began keeping statistics. Teen-age fans of the Spice Girls, Hanson and the Backstreet Boys are leading the way. Female buyers outnumbered males by 51 to 49 percent, compared to a decade ago when men outnumbered women buying music by 57 to 43 percent, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. ``It does seem that there are a lot more women in the store than there used to be,'' said Michael Williams, general manager of Tower Records in Long Beach, Calif. ``The music, more than in the last number of years, seems to be very female-oriented.'' It's no stretch to declare women the tastemakers in today's music scene. Pop music and heart-tugging ballads - think Natalie Imbruglia and Celine Dion - are in style. Heavy, dour rock is out. Although statistics from phone surveys showed only a slight increase in the number of teen-agers buying music last year, their role in making hits of the ``Titanic'' soundtrack and Aqua's ``Barbie Girl'' have made the industry take notice. Girl power - just as the Spice Girls preach. Asia Werner's been buying a lot more music than usual lately, but her heart belongs to the Backstreet Boys. The 14-year-old girl gives a you-have-no-clue look to anyone who wonders why. Just look at their pictures. Her friend, Rachel Colon, scanned a Manhattan store last week for Spanish music and rock CDs from Bush and Oasis. And for fellow customers. ``There are hardly any good-looking guys here,'' Rachel complained. Girls screaming for Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Beatles and the Backstreet Boys are part of music's history. More than ever before, they have role models to scream for, too. Jewel, Fiona Apple, Sarah McLachlan and the Spice Girls all established themselves in the past year. McLachlan's Lilith Fair, a concert tour featuring female artists, was the sensation of last summer. ``There have been some pretty potent female artists out over the last 18 months that young women have really gravitated toward,'' said Polly Anthony, president of Epic Records and 550 Music, both Sony labels. Many of the videos on MTV these days feature female artists, said Judy McGrath, MTV's president. It wasn't so long ago where that was unusual, she said. Now there's less polarization between the sexes musically and female fans are more comfortable asserting themselves, she said. ``You don't just like your boyfriend's music,'' McGrath said. ``The guys don't call the shots anymore.'' VH1 two months ago began airing ``Women First,'' a show devoted to videos by female artists. Only women perform at this month's ``VH1 Honors'' concert. ``If you want to call it a bandwagon, we've jumped upon it,'' said VH1 executive Jeff Gaspin. It was mostly female buyers that made Elton John's eulogy to Princess Diana, ``Candle in the Wind 1997,'' the best-selling single of all time. Sales have been measured by gender only since 1985, but the people in the recording industry believe men outnumbered women as buyers before that, too, because fewer women were working. New York's WHTZ radio sensed a mood change two years ago and switched from alternative rock to Top 40. Now, 70 percent of its telephone requests are from females, said program director Tom Poleman. ``The kids were into the angst-ridden rock music for a while, but it just got too depressing,'' he said. ``People wanted to hear something more upbeat and fun.'' The flip side may be some disenfranchised males, particularly young men who like aggressive rock. ``It was a horrible year for harder rock,'' Tower's Williams said. Pearl Jam's new album fell flat. The testosterone-fueled Lollapalooza tour was a bust and may be abandoned this summer. Rock accounted for 46 percent of music sales a decade ago; last year, 33 percent. Young men ``aren't too sure about all this new music,'' Anthony said. ``These are the guys who really want to rock, and when you look at the rock out there, I'm not too sure that they're being served the way they want to or need to be.'' For now, at least, it's ladies choice at the music store. AP-NY-04-05-98 1233EDT Copyright 1997 The Associated Press.

Hi angels, I'm sure you have all read my last post about the Jewel offer I made. Well, I have set up a trade with the first person that emailed me. Unfortunately, I could only help out the one person. Hopefully she'll be able to tree it around the States.;-) My question is for all you Canadians out there....is it possible for you to help out too? I have a big heart, and I feel terrible for the other people who have emailed me asking for the tape. I'm sure these people are sincere in wanting it, and it is only fair for us to share our angelfood. We all know that we have gathered lots of angelfood from non-Canadians. I have had 10 people email me so far wanting it, and the requests keep coming in. I know that I said the first person who emailed me, but if any other kind angel can help, it would be GREAT! And all of the people who emailed me have angelfood to offer. Spotlight is shown twice during the evening, once at 6:00pm and once at 10:30pm (central).. It's not like you wouldn't get to keep one copy for yourself!:-) So: ANY CANADIAN EDA WOULD HAS A NICE BIG SOFT HEART AND A SOUL THAT IS WILLING TO HELP, PLEASE CONTACT ME!!!:-) (or anyone else with Much Music) Hang in there guys, I'm trying to get you all a copy!:-) Shannon the bleeding hearted angel xoxxo ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V3 #200 ***************************
