I have noticed that there are alot of news stories and TV entertainment shows about her and her problems. Then she wins a bunch of grammies and I am wondering what is the big deal about her. I have not heard a single song by her and I listen to many different radio stations at work. I pull up youtude and click on her most famous song and was shocked. This woman is horrible. I cannot believe that people think she can sing. WOW. Rehab was terrible, no way should she had won the Grammy for that. All we can hope is that she will disappear like all of the other 'best new artists'. Sorry if any of you like her but this is my opinion. Yeech.

But then again Yota, Emmenem also won a Grammie so the distinction is a shallow one IMHO.

LMAO!
NPR radio was talking about her getting a lot more sales and recognition since her award. I've never heard anything of hers. Apparently I haven't missed anything, huh?

That wheels-off old-school soul is cool for a while. She's mostly working the train wreck factor.

Soul is cool sometimes. What's the train wreck factor?

I look for her to die from an OD and join the rest of the marginally talented dumbasses who killed themselves. Then her talent will be inflated/overrated and she will be immortalized for ever like Cobane, Hendrix, Joplin, ect.

Wowza. Joplin? Hendrix? Overrated? Inflated? Yipers.

I'd love to hear a better girl rocker with more soul than Joplin. Any suggestions?

She has a nice voice, but I couldn't give a #&%!$ about her personal life or her awards.

She makes music, the music is all that matters, the rest of it is just crap strewn along from a "reality show" obsessed media.

It's about the music. Nothing more. Ignore the rest.

I normally avoid these types of discussions because music is art and like all art it's all relative. Having said that the impression I get from seeing Joplin sing is that; 1) her voice sounds like shyt, 2) she always looks like she's trying too hard, 3) she's trying to sound black.

No matter what my personal opinion of her is though the fact remains she is no where as good as her dead rock star status gives her.

I didn't watch the Grammies so I never heard of her.

Who cares what she drugs she does or what fetishes she has. She's a kick ass musician. That's why people like her.

There is something unsettling about someone who feels the need to live vicariously through the experiences, good or bad, of another.

So Stove, do you take ANY drugs? Are they GOOD drugs because you take them and got them at a pharmacy?

How could you listen to the music of someone who takes drugs? You know taking drugs is like writing a check to Osama Bin Laden himself.

If we culled out all of the musicians in history who did drugs, well, very few would be left.
