If Crystal could only do 1/10th the drugs that did Janis, she could be a contender. Flaming out at 27 is a bummer, however.
On the 4th of October 1970, my heart broke in a thousand pieces when Janis Joplin from Texas died. So it is nice to see her still looked upon as a musical role model. Crystal from Ohio is a diabetic, I believe she would die real fast if she tried to go the same route with heroin and Southern Comfort. I really like Crystal and of course she's a very moving performer, but there will always be only one Janis Joplin.
I wish that you could have heard her down here at a local roadside diner/pub called Threadgills, back in the day. She sang her heart out for us. (The Rose is a personal favorite film of mine.)
Even though this Janis version isn't the best one I ever heard, she is still far superior than any imitators.

You lucky dog you. I would indeed have loved the opportunity. Mama Sox is really developing a big stage presence at American Idol and no doubt will be one of the very successful people who have done that reality show. So, I really want to see her perform live. *Sigh* Too young to have had a crush in the realistic sense on Janis as I hadn't even started shaving when she died. And with Crystal I am the double nickle in age and would be a dirty old man to entertain such thoughts. Life sure is grand, but it also can bite the big one in many ways too. ;-)

I agree, I've heard better too. I kinda went by the play numbers of the videos offered when I made the choice for this thread though.

I searched through the youtubes for a better one, but this is the only one that shows her actually singing.

That reminded me of this one -

Thanks for looking. Janis is one artist I periodically troll You Tube for hoping someone has added some sweet footage on. If that ever happens, I'll give you a heads up on it.

that song does tell hr tale alright. She told one reporter who mentioned the dangers of singing so fiercely hard that she would rather sing memorably and burn out young than to sound half as good for much longer. There will always only ever be one Janis Joplin. Grateful Dead front man Ron McKernan (Pig Pen) was someone she had a long friendship with, and he said that he was the only one of the San Francisco sound crowd she ever allowed to call her 'Tex.' She was a sweet soul who was very generous and was often exploited for free food and drinks at night clubs by people who would feel she was rich enough to leave the tab with. She was famous and knew many people, but sometime fame can be one's worst enemy.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
"You've got to put right and wrong above legal and illegal. Because when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty; and it is not rebellion at all, it is submission to the higher law that our government is in rebellion to. We're not the rebels, they're the rebels."

Good Lord Mike what a silly question. You were there, guy. Joplin by a mile.

Let Crystal try this one and I think the difference becomes more clear!

A huge no shit, and quote of the decade there. Many thanks.

Word. And these were done after a full day of Jack & Coke. Goodness gracious, there was some great music pumped out during that decade.

Very, very, nice. But everyone who covers Janis, tries to sound like her, and comes up a bit short, no matter how well they do it. imo
