Shes included in the article on the "New Pop Divas" and it includes a cute pic of her as well. She is also in the Feb 99 issue of Glamour which also discusses the Divas of `99. It includes a beautiful picture of her and her "message behind the music". Its just something to check out. Hope you enjoy it! :) love and laughter, Rachel *the shy angel* "we are loved beyond our ability to comprehend" - jewel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 09 Jan 1999 22:37:05 PST From: "Scott Evans" Subject: Jewel - A Diva!? (People Magazine) I was browsing through People's online site at http://www.pathfinder.com/people looking for Jewel stuff, and came across their feature stories: Divas. I thought, 'Hey, Jewel might be included'.. Guess what? She is.. She also shares the cover of this week's real issue.. Here's what I got from the online feature: To Have, and Have a Lot They get it all - manor homes, designer clothes, devoted minions, and spellbound fans - for a song Ask Celine Dion if she's a pop diva and she'll modestly answer no, even though she happens to be the bestselling singer in America just now. "Diva," says Dion, "makes me think of the old, glorious movie stars." But she has to admit, "It sounds good to me. I love it. Diva." After all, diva, Italian for "goddess," has long been associated with heavenly songbirds, golden throats and exotic plumage. None was more spellbinding than the imperious Greek soprano Maria Callas, who dominated opera stages in the '50s and cowed everyone around her with terrifying temper tantrums. Then came pop music's pampered princesses, a new class of American diva -- brassy, indomitable and weighted with foot-long false eyelashes. There was Diana Ross with her slinky sexiness and bright-tinsel voice; the all-powerful Barbra Streisand, who, like every other singer of her time, recorded "Send in the Clowns," but only after asking Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim to rewrite the lyrics to suit her; and soul queen Aretha Franklin, who concluded last April's VH1 Divas Live concert by stretching out a gospel number to 17 minutes.(The producers eventually turned off the cameras.) Of course, diva can be shorthand for pain in the neck. "But you should take it as a compliment," says Franklin, now 56. "Being a diva comprises musicality, a theatrical element and a certain carriage." By that definition, say hello to the latest wave of pop divas: Celine Dion, 30; Whitney Houston, 35; Mariah Carey, 29; Madonna, the old-timer at 40; Janet Jackson, 32; Shania Twain, 33; and Jewel, 24 - -- with divas-in-waiting Brandy, 19; Monica, 18; and LeAnn Rimes, 16, warbling in the wings. All certainly have the requisite lung power. Houston, whose Top 20 album My Love Is Your Love marks her first studio release in eight years, can rattle roof beams, Carey skips octaves with the ease of a kindergartner at jump rope, and Dion (who, like Carey and Twain, sang with Franklin on VH1) belts out "My Heart Will Go On," the Oscar-winning Titanic theme, with chest-thumping majesty. And, with all due R-E-S-P-E-C-T to Aretha and company, these superdivas are richer and wield more power. True, some of their pre-MTV forebears dabbled in movies, but were they also best-selling authors à la Jewel? Did they, like Madonna, run their own record labels? Even divette Brandy has her own TV show. Beyond having industrial-strength lungs, today's pop divas can be as demanding as they are pampered and -- with their vast earnings -- indulgent. (Celine keeps 500 pairs of shoes in a 300-square-foot closet.) The public worships them: Together, these divas have sold some 210 million albums in the United States alone, astonishing by anyone's standards. (Dion sold 60 million albums worldwide in only 30 months.) Last November, Jewel's Spirit debuted at No. 3, with Carey's greatest-hits package #1's and Dion's These Are Special Times just behind. The Grammy nominations, announced Jan. 5, give the divas their due: six for Twain, five for Madonna and four for Dion (Houston and Jewel's new albums were released too late for consideration). So how do these rags-to-riches sirens spend their time? What do they splurge on? What do they think of each other? And by the way, how are their love lives? In Celine Dion's case, no album title was ever more fitting than These Are Special Times. She grew up one of 14 children in a small town in Quebec, but scrimping is a thing of the past. "I don't drink," says Dion. "I don't smoke. I shop." She and her husband, manager Rene Angelil, who's in his mid-50s, recently built a $10 million, 10-bedroom turreted mansion in Jupiter, Fla., equipped with fountains, waterfalls and 33 television sets. They also plan to build an English-style manor on a golf club they bought recently near Montreal, retaining two 18-hole courses to help them unwind (she has a 24 handicap). When Dion told David Letterman last November that she had a personal putting green, he howled, "Oh, stop! When I go bowling, I've got to rent shoes." Jewel, who in 1996 bought a reportedly $1.3 million, four-bedroom house in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., with the proceeds of her first album, is still adjusting to the concept of living so large. "Being a homeowner, especially a nice home homeowner, that's pretty weird," says the singer, who grew up Jewel Kilcher in a homestead, toiletless cabin in Homer, Alaska. She's come a long way. Because she hates to buy clothes ("If I only have six hours off, why on earth would I drag myself to a mall?"), she retains a personal shopper to keep her in precious Prada and Gucci. For her acting debut in the Civil War movie Ride with the Devil, due this fall, she learned to rope cattle. She has also coralled her share of heartthrobs, including Sean Penn (before he married Robin Wright in '96) and now actor Christopher Douglas. But at heart, Jewel is a flower child and poet (her collection, A Night Without Armor, remains a bestseller after eight months). Last fall at a benefit in New York she charmed many in the audience when, realizing her nails were too long to strum her guitar, she asked if anyone could lend her a nail clipper. (Someone did.) Told by a reporter she was part of a story for PEOPLE that included Dion and Carey, she marveled, "Wow, I'm in that group?" Welcome to the club, only don't expect a lotta lunch dates. Jewel has met Celine, whom she describes as "one of the nicest people," but these women don't pal around much. Blame it on their schedules, their managers or maybe (just maybe) diva pride. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 01:00:37 PST From: "Dakota Kane" Subject: Something positive about Jewel Amy wrote: >You know what's funny about this list now, in the 4 or 5 digests I >have to go through everyday, everyone is so quick to criticize and >bash---that I CAN'T even remember the last time someone said >something POSITIVE about Jewel.

So, for those of you who enjoy reading something positive about Jewel, I've posted on my website, "Kissed By An Angel", something that I found especially noteworthy about Jewel and "Hands" that was written by a friend of mine, Uncle Tantra. It's at http://www.ojo.com/kk/kissed When you get there, just click on "Welcome", then scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on the "Hands" icon. Enjoy!

Hey Angels!!! . It's Wes. I took a temporary leave, mainly because I was really busy and didn't have as much time to read mail, but I'm back!! I hope the holidays were wonderful for all of you. :-) Okay, onto some Jewel content. :-) I bought "Spirit" when it came out. Honestly, I'm VERY into it. However, I can't say that I like POY better or that I like Spirit better. I love both for different reasons. I love the intimate, coffeehouse sound of POY. At the same time, I think it's great that Jewel was willing to experiment with her sound, and do the full band thing on the new CD. It is as wonderful as I expected it to be. Wes ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 12:46:53 +0100 From: Subject: Jewel & Danny Elfman on new film soundtrack Hi Everyday Angels, I'm very enthusiastic about the possibility that Jewel and Danny Elfman work together in a song for a new movie. I think it would be interesting to see what they can write together. > The soundtrack to the upcoming Susan Sarandon film, "Anywhere But Here" > (April 23), will feature new songs from a slew of big name > female singer/songwriters, including Jewel, Tori Amos, Shawn Colvin and > Poe. The soundtrack, due April 6, also will feature a score > composed by ex-Oingo Boingo leader Danny Elfman. According to a source at > Atlantic Records, Elfman also is expected to collaborate > with the singers on a few of the original songs. In my opinion, Danny is one of the best soundtrack composers nowadays. I discovered him by his collaboration with Tim Burton. He has composed all the scores of Burton's movies except "Ed Wood", from "Beetlejuice" and "Batman" to "Mars Attacks!". But he also has worked with other directors in movies like "Sommersby", "Mission: Impossible", "Men in Black" and "Good Will Hunting" among others. However, for some of you his most famous tune will be "The Simpsons" main theme. Anyway, my favorite soundtrack of Danny Elfman is "Edward Scissorhands". Maybe you are wondering if he is also a good songwriter. Well, in the score of "The nightmare before Christmas", there are ten original songs by Danny Elfman, and all of them are really connected to the film. They're not like the songs that somebody puts in a movie just to sell more copies of the soundtrack CD, they really explain the story and they are really GOOD. Btw, I still can't understand why this soundtrack wasn't nominated for the Oscar when the other Disney's movies scores have been nominated year after year. Well, I think I've been too enthusiastic. Take care, Dani ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 08:45:06 EST From: Nsol2001@aol.com Subject: Hey Lynn....The Craft You hear "Under the Water",the song by Jewel, when that new girl (I forget the name) is on a date with Skeet on the ceiling of the building at night. FYI> Jewel also sings in Clueless. I think it's All by Myself. I'm not sure but I know it's at the part where Cher is walking down the sidewalk and she's sad b/c something happened...I forget...and then she sees and outfit and says, "I wonder if they have that in my size." It's not on the soundtrack CD though. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 18:35:37 +0100 From: "Henk Lelieveld" Subject: Jewel Fans Hi there, I was wondering if there are any Jewel fans from The Netherlands around the age of 17 (I am 17/male) joining this list.

Hello Angels, I originally bought two tickets for the Women in Music Concert (w/ Jewel & others) at Madison Square Garden, Jan. 25 @ 7:30 pm. But, my friend backed out, so I am offering the ticket to an EDA. Of course you'll have to pay for it but I think it's worth it. I have one extra ticket for section-4 row-B seat one or two. It really doesn't matter to me which one you would rather have. This ticket is for the second row on the floor. I can't wait,. The price I paid was $100 so that's what I'm asking for it. Anyone interested please email me privately as soon as possible. I can send you a .jpg of the seating chart so you can see exactly where the seat will be.

They have an exhibit about the Exxon Valdez oil spill. One feature of the exhibit is a map of the spill area. I noticed the city of Homer on the map and was wondering if the Kilcher homestead was affected by the spill. I'm pretty sure Jewel was still living in Homer when the spill happened (1989). So any stories......? Ron angle angel ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V4 #17 **************************
