I'm waiting for the hugely anticipated comeback tour '05! I hear the tour kicks off in her car in Alaska.

Exactly, Paul. When "Intuition" came out, I actually thought that it was clever, as she mocked those who sell out at a moments notice, but you're completely right: Now she has become what she previously made fun of. In addition to the Canon deal, her "Intuition" song is being used to sell women's razors (also called "Intuition"). She makes fun of those selling out, while she herself does the same thing.

Pot, meet kettle.

Who will save your soul? Intuition razors!

Nice Paul!

I've got a good one for Canon...

I had hoped that her 15 minutes were up the first day I ever heard/saw her. I hate mainsteram celebs. She is lower than Nicole Kidman on the totem pole in my book, and that's low!!!

Everyone sells out. The only question is the price. I was about to buy one of her albums. Then I asked myself, "Would buying her album get me any closer to actually having sex with Jewel?". I did not buy the album.

The big question in the wake of this: Do her teeth look any better now?

I really hope she had her teeth fixed. There is no excuse not to do so.

Remember when that bitch came out with the poetry book trying to look all deep? what a crock of shit that was.

Jewel: Awesome voice, very pretty... some odd and very obscure lyrics at times, and... just another "artiste" caving to the RIAA. Sort of a get used to it deal... like Ace said above. If you didn't sell out coming down the pike, you're bound to do it over time. I mean... if a hardcore Metal band like Metallica with their raucous and vehement slams against "Mainstream" chooses to sell out and do it out of greed... what's to stop anyone else?!? It shouldn't come as a shocker to anyone really. It's merely a part of being in this industry. Many fans of Dave Matthews have even blasted him saying that he's lost the "soul" that made him great. I'm not a fan, but... I can definitely see a difference from the cracking and quite annoying whimsical nature of their earlier hits to the later darker, somber, and sort of "a drag" sound that plagues his later efforts.

Then again, I never would've anticipated Liz Phair going the same route too. Paul has aforementioned that deal in a previous Ping, and it was a sad, sad day. She's still an incredible artist, but the outside of the box mentality has been toned down, although she still has the propensity to swear. At least something's don't change. :-D

Just another element of note... is it just me, or is there getting to be more cursing in the Ping? I swear I've seen more of it used as of late than I can ever recall. Are you all F'ing trying to go hardcore on me or something you little sh*ts? ;-) All you d%mn XTreme Pingers bustin' it out and throwin' it down. Losin' the ol' skool flava G's... It's like Gangsta' Ping in the hizhouuuuuse or something.

RDiddy and Paul Dizzle-Nizzle... word up homeys?

Ummmm...right. Nice to meet such a respectful individual as you, Matt.



I just saw Jewel in concert two night ago. She played solo acoustic and still had all of her original charm. Perhaps her 15 minutes are up, but she still has something that true fans will appreciate.

Don't count out Jewel just yet. She's not the first pop musician to go through highs and lows in her career. Her next album is due out in spring 2006. Her fans are just as devoted as ever and find that her live concerts are as good as ever and are one of a kind intimate shows.

Clearly the author of this topic was incorrect as Jewel is very much still around!

Even a new album on it's way in a week - Goodbye Alice in Wonderland which is truly excellent!

Thanks for your time
