Okay, this has been an interesting discussion, but I sincerely believe that Jewel hasn't "sold out", like you say. She has become a product of herself, her mother, her marketing and the public. If so many young teenage girls hadn't adopted Jewel as their savior and role-model, then Jewel wouldn't have had to maintain an image of purity and righteousness. She would have kept her foulmouth and whorish ways and become a rolemodel for single mothers or something. I'm joking. But Jewel obviously became very sensitive to those who looked up to her and decided to do nothing to taint that image. She probably adopted Christianity so that those who looked up to her would have somewhere to turn to if they couldn't help themselves. There's a reason why Christianity is so popular - it preaches goodness. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I think by Joy being such a piece of pro-religion nonsense, that is what is selling out. She has retreated from her folk roots and her belief in an internalized god concept("We are that to which we pray") to mindless, conformist Christianity, the worship of a character in a novel called The Bible. So, yes, you are right, she sold out, to Christianity, the largest money-making religion in the world.

There is a really cool picture about half way through of her and the guitar illuminated all cool like. Also, can anyone tell me who the guy that looks like Terry Bradshaw singing with Poltzie is? (I hope I haven't offended anyone's musical hero or anything.) :) Thanks all. Charles.

There's a reason why Christianity is so popular - >it preaches goodness. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I'd like to point out it would be more accurate to say: "Christianity preaches. I (Tony Stark, or Christian based societies like America) consider what they are preaching to be goodness." Keep in mind that there are countries where they wipe out entire orphanages to prevent the children from being adopted and raised as Christians. (Point being, they don't see Christianity as having a lot of 'goodness,' and/or having 'absolutely nothing wrong' with it.) Charles. The sullen, pensive angel. P.S. Just for the record. I don't think Jewel has 'adopted Christianity' either. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why is College Club the largest and fastest growing college student site?

This may sound odd.. but I miss the "old" Jewel. The one that would tell someone off. The one that performed music instead of music industry tainted "tracks". When foolish games was released as a single, I was very happy that she was able to do things with the song that she could not before. I also thought it was a little to polished. Music critics really went after Pieces of You and complained about how "raw" Jewel sang. I personally think that album has more feeling and meaning than Spirit or Joy. I know Jewel writes about others quite often, but her style is the difference between her and the rest of the music industry. When its all polished.. it sounds like every other artists on the radio. The only time one might see a glimps of Jewel is during a live performance any more. In fact, one of the reasons I started my website was to promote the image of Jewel Atlantic was trying to hide. I guess like many things in life, change is inevitable. It is a shame that new listeners don't get to live in that time.

I've got an Angelfood CD and that aong is on there and I really like it. I thought it sounded a little different from Jewel's normal singing voice, but on different songs she has a different voice, so I really don't know. If anyone knows please tell me. Thanks for your time and take care. ~Kristin~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 17:40:36 EST From: KNicky3116@aol.com Subject: Re: [EDA] Another question about "Fade Into You" "Fade Into You" is by Mazzy Star...unless Jewel did a cover that I had no idea about?

Last year she had four songs on, this year only one. WHAT'S SIMPLE IS TRUE -- JEWEL is 53 this year, it was 77 last year. So it moved up!! They really love jewel on Alice. They are the ones that did the Now and Zen. They also sponsored her first two concerts here. If you want to see the top lists for both years check out www.radioalice.com. They also have some good jewel pics and a whole site on her. chandini ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2001 00:48:38 -0000 From: "charlie zidon" Subject: [EDA] Christianity... Angels, I think that there is nothing wrong with christianity. There is nothing wrong with it. How one of you put it how it is like just idelizing a character from a novel, that is SOOOOOO not it. It is the belief of a person in the Bible, but that is NOT a bad thing. I totally believe in God and in the Bible, and just cause some of you do not, that does not mean that ONLY you are right and the rest of us are wrong. Let everyone have there faith and do not judge them, INCLUDING Jewel. If she believes in it then that is HER business and no one elses. She has the right to believe in what she wants. Please do not get pissed at me I am NOT trying to be mean. About her cds... I TOTALLY see what you mean that they are like they are polished and not much feeling. That is true, but I think then it is more exciting to see her preform!!! THAT is the goodness from it. I like her cds how they are, and I LOVE her live too. That is the biggest reason that I love Jewel. That she puts SOOOOOO much FEELING into her songs when she sings and that she writes most her music. Most of the other singers today just sing songs other people write, so they do not mean anything. That, I think is no good. Then when they preform it is so meaningless and it is just sung exactly the same everytime they sing it. I LOVE the feeling Jewel has in her music. Also, I think that Jewel is a VERY GOOD role model for kids, teenagers, and for adults. She is very well at just expressing what she feels and not changing for others. Other then britney spears, christina aguilera, and other girls like that. Who do not write there own songs and do not put as much feeling into there music, and sometimes lip sync. Also Jewel does not change for people like britney and christina. Jewel does not like, try to look perfect, starve herself and try to be PERFECTLY skinny, or get breast implants,fix her teeth and stuff like that. She does not TRY to appear as the PERFECT girl. THat takes guts, and I am proud of her and look up to her for that. I hope that I am not pissing you all off, I really want to get along with you, I just wanted to say what I think.
