Sun Sep 14 2008I never cared for her. Her songs were juvenile and soppy. I give her two stars because she has a unique voice.

Sun Jun 01 2008I can overlook that she has awful teeth and the religious feel of some of her music because it's really not bad.

Fri Apr 18 2008Good songwriter, not the best vocalist...unless maybe she finally decided vocal training isn't pointless. When I read that she didn't do vocal training because she felt it takes away personal singing style, I realized she must have given up on it pretty quickly. I felt the same way when I first started, but, even as a 15 year old, I realized I should stick with it and give it a chance. You really can have your own style, once you've learned to control your diaphragm, etc. It's worth it, especially as a professional, to protect your vocal chords. But....whatever. Her choice. I just hope she doesn't regret not taking care of them, once it's too late.

Thu Apr 01 2004An excellent musician and songwriter who is often misunderstood in poetry and just about everything else. Superb !

Sat Dec 06 2003I love how she totally changed herself for the media...not! Any folk singer that will ignore all their past talent to do a music video, spraying themself with a fire hose, and trying to pursue a sex image; deserves a major jeer!

Wed Nov 19 2003I first started listening to Jewel when You Were Meant For Me hit the radio. Immdeiately her unique voice and poetic lyrics made me a fan. She is one of the most real and homest musicians out there. As she grows as a person, her music changes with her. She shares her heart and soul on every song she sings, giving insight into real human emotion. I think she's one of the best singer-songwriters ever.

Wed Aug 20 2003Jewel is a whore. Plain and simple. Her poetry sucks and singer-songwriter stuff went out of style so she reinvented herself as some dance diva showing cleavage. I can't even tell you how much I hate her music and voice. Don't get me wrong, I think that there should be more yodelling in the world, but I absolutely can't stand it when a singer sounds like they are crying when they're singing the song. It sounds so insincere and fake and I want to kill the person singing.

Sat Aug 09 2003I personally can't stand her music but so many people like her so she must be doing something right.

Sat Jul 12 2003She has grown considerably as an artist, and it seems music critics have come around to appreciate her unique voice. Listen closely, and you'll realize a lot of her songs have a heartfelt message behind them -- often revealing a humble wish for humanity to be able to grow in the world. "Who Will Save Your Soul", "Hands", and "Intuition" are faves. I don't believe she deserves to get slagged for experimenting with new, non-folky song stylings -- any artist deserves to be able to grow in new directions, even if those more rhythmic touches make you look more like less sincere pop artists. Her lyrics reveal someone still very true to herself.

Tue Jun 03 2003Never really cared about her one way or the other, but now she's really pathetically changed her image just for the sake of trying to stay in the mainstream. Seems pretty shameful to me. But like I said, she wasn't that great to begin with anyway.

Tue Feb 04 2003She is the only female vocalist today that does not make me cringe and she has an exceptional vocal talent. She has the abilty to convey emotion that most other artists only dream of!!!!

Wed Nov 27 2002She's pretty good but she can be a little annoying. I like some of her songs though.

Thu Nov 07 2002Great voice and style. Also has wonderful taste in boyfrieds! (Ty)

Fri Oct 25 2002She's got a voice, she's got a photogenic look, she's got talent on the guitar, she can write very well, so who cars about her infamous tooth. If she wants to keep it that way, it's her tooth. All you critics, bitch about stuff that's worth bitching over.

Thu Jun 14 2001If you like folk music, you should love her! Jewel is amazingly talented! ok, the yodeling can get a bit annoying, but beyond that (which is only occasional anyway) she's great! Her Christmas album and general writing style are super!

Sun Apr 29 2001She's so cute...sort of a sweeter version of Alanis Morsette
by lancebassnum1f_an
Sun Mar 11 2001She has a beautiful voice thats warm and flowing, not like Korn, but some of her songs are to long.
by crazy_byrd
Sat Feb 24 2001There's something to be said about a young woman who goes through so much in her life and still churns out the most beautiful music you've ever heard.

Thu Feb 22 2001Her new stuff sucks.
by kyesbd0c
Tue Feb 06 2001i like a handful of her songs, and she was so cute and fresh in the beginning. but the more i hear come out of her mouth in interviews n stuff, the more i have to agree with kenharris8

Sun Jan 28 2001Jewel has an original style and she writes some really great songs. If you're not into real full on rock and you want something more mellow to sit back and relax with Jewel's your girl. Some of her songs are better than others but don't let that put you off, that's the same of any band/musician. If you're in the mood for some slow paced, easy listening, go for Jewel. Her stuff is especially good because her songs are full of meaning, she really writes and sings from her heart.

Thu Dec 28 2000Jewel is one of the most talented musicians today. Unfortunately, not everyone can appreciate her music. Not taking away from her musical ability, her lyrics are what attracted myself to her. They are not "whiny" as I have heard them characterized, but rather deeply emotional. They do not dwell in the negative though; they are also very inspirational. This balance is what makes her a wonderful lyricist. The way she puts these ideas into music is amazing. Pieces of You lacks much production value, but this is positive, in that Jewel's natural talent and raw emotion shine through. Spirit is a beautiful, inspirational project, which first drew me to her. Joy: A Holiday Collection is the perfect Christmas album, as well as wonderful album in general. My favorite songs, though, are ones that have yet to be released. I can't wait to see what she puts out there next!

Sat Dec 16 2000I think Jewel is very talented. I really like her Christmas album. Her voice takes a little getting used to, but once you do, it's very enjoyable. Also, her book Chasing Down the Dawn is good.

Sun Oct 01 2000I think Jewel's music is fantastic. I especially love Foolish Games because of the words and I think that she has a brilliant singing voice.

Tue Sep 05 2000I need to put a zero for this no-talent, pretentious, socialist, ignorant airhead!
by leelanau
Thu Jul 06 2000It is true; she lived in a van. But at least she has brains, own ideas, a beautiful voice, and beauty. She is a girl who knows what she wants... it is so sad there are soooo unbrains people whom guess that thinks she's pretty bad. It is better, YOU, guy, don't lose time and go, put in your head some (even a little)brains. See you when you became at least reasonable.
