Revelations: Jewel

I just wandered into Au Bon Pain to see if they had anything I want for lunch (they didn't) and they were playing "Hands" by Jewel and I absolutely lost it. What a dumb song! Oh my God, I probably looked like a lunatic with my uncontrolled snortlaughing, but it just struck me in the most peculiar way. Something about her silly yodel-like trill when she sings the word "ha-ah-ands" and "know-w" and "my owown".

I LOVE that she published a book of poetry. No offense to Danielle if she's reading, I respect you tremendously notwithstanding your Jewel affinity.

I think I really hate Jewel! This came out of nowhere! I thought I was totally indifferent, but the circumstances have changed.



PS. "Jewel"??? What a dick name! This is all hitting me like a ton of bricks.

I like her semi-new song "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland". It's about how she totally sold out and failed and now knows better.

I liked when she yodelled.

Does anyone remember the whole "intuition" thing? I think she was selling razors, right?

Oh my God, I hate Jewel. The title of her book was "A Night Without Armor"...f-ing awful. And then she came out with a video that lampooned stars who sold out, while at the same time she was selling razors? Hate her.

"My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own."

Dumber song lyrics have never been written...EVER.

I want to PUNCH Jewel.

I hate her too. And for the same reason - that little girl yodel thing makes me SO MAD. Also people I don't hate but would like more if they didn't do the same BS growl to pre-pubescent purr: Gwen Stefani, Shakira, Tatu. Oh no, wait - I do hate Tatu.

oh, I like Shakira, when she's singing in Spanish and I can't see her! :)
