The NEW JEWEL cd

Well im sure alot of people are stressin over JEWELS new look, but the music is on point. Not a perfect CD but its really close. I always welcome change when its in a direction that doesnt seem crazy. As usual the lyrics are strong, and this time the music is all over place, dance, pop and rock. Its really a good musical statement from JEWEL, and i think it needed to be done. Plus if JEWEL where a man no one would care about the change.

It appears her hair is longer and she seems a little thinner, but she still pretty much looks the same.

I think she looks good.

She really looks the same she just glammed it up for the new video, but the lyrics in the song are about exploiting and images, so thats why JEWEL looks all glammed up and in mini skirts and showing cleavage for the video.

If ya actually pay attention to the lyrics and all...you'd see she's actually kinda making fun of all that wink


Jewel is probably laughing her ass off at everyone who thinks she's 'selling out' right now





ugh....I can't spell edit

hmmm... well... i have a feeling that she's "making fun of" that stuff, to sort of take the sting out of or lessen the criticism of the fact that that's what she's doing herself.

admittedly, if you're doing to sell out, a good way to cover it up is make everyone think that you're being ironic wink

I'm sure if this single/cd are a success, we'll see plenty more dance pop disguised as "irony" from her.

That video really caught me off guard. I realized that she was making fun of all that pop sellout stuff but I'm just not used to her looking like that. SHe was on VH1 Diva duets where she and Beyonce were wearing matching dresses. I never would have thought that Jewel and Beyonce would ever be wearing matching dresses. It was a trip.
