I think Janis is the greatest female singer of all time. I HATE Kelly Clarkston and Britney Spears and fucking Paris Hilton. I think they are stuck up little bitches who dress like slutty little whores. Janis may have done some stupid shit in her life, but she never had to be so superficial. That is why I look up to this chick and respect her. She never had to resort to any of that bullcrap, and she's still sexy baby!!!!! JANIS IS BRINGINGING SEXY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah well, how they wanna look is up to them I suppose. If they would make great music and wouldn't have that media-horny attitude I for one could look past their clothing style.
Yeah Janis is really amazing female singer...she is the blues Her voice is so strong and bold and unique. My fav. singers besides Janis are Grace Slick,Joan Baez,Aretha Franklin,Joni Mitchell,Nico,Etta James,Laura Nyro,Ruth Brown,Judy Collins,Patti Smith,Sandy Denny,Dorothy Moskowitz,Signe Anderson,Marianne Faithful and Billie Holiday.
Gotta dig some Janis! Talented and brilliant, I dont think she gets enough credit for her efforts. She has one of those voices that is instantly recognizeable, and is one of my fave singers of all time. I love all her music! When she sings, you can see all the way down into her soul. Here is a pic of us with Sam Andrew at a show in 02. Sam played with Janis in several bands including Big Brother & the Holding Company, and is a super hep-cat to meet and talk with about her and her music.
I'm just a little jealous! lol. You are sooo lucky! I'd shake his hand, then I'd probably pass out cuz i'd be all like, "OMG!!! I TOUCHED YOUR HAND AND YOU TOUCHED JANIS!!!!!!!!!!"
I had the pleasure of seeing her in 1968 and it was a great loss when she passed. This is a tribute to her. Sex Drugs Rock & Roll Janis 1970 Stoned
Janis is one and only and there is no doubt about it, but don't blame Paris, Britney, etc, for being like that, I mean, what could you expect of an child with all the money in the world, or the one with parents being so ambitious....On the other hand, Kelly Clarkson seems like a nice girl, although I don't listen to her music...It's incomparable to Janis'!..
i live a few minutes from port arthur, where she was from...the city is throwing her a birthday bash in a few days...i hope i can go. she was a beautiful and talented lady
Janis Joplin personified the late 60's-early 70's hippy chick. Other than Grace Slick, no one has come close. Janis gave her whole heart and soul to her music and her performances. Love ya' Janis. R.I.P. Janis Joplin interview http://youtube.com/watch?v=gKoIkfK18fo
