The live version of this song, Cry Baby, from Toronto (Festival Express) is a must watch!...She put every ounce of heart, soul, emotion and passion into her performances! Even to the point of wearing herself out, as she does in the live version of this song. Definitely "FIRE! 🔥

Janis will never talk to you lightly 😂😂😂😂 She's hands down my favorite female vocalist of all time.

She was just such a force of talent and emotion 🌪🔥

Her life was way too short. What a gift she left all of us ❤

Janis was literally the first badass girl in rock and blues. She was the first to sing and perform in a way that was extremely provocative to an audience that have never seen something like this. ( ball and chain from monterey pop festival). Back in those days and times a girl was to be prim and proper. She was bullied a lot in her childhood. And then exploded onto the scene and shook everyone to their core. You felt every word she sang. And she meant it. Janis opened the door for many females in rock to enter the scene. My all time favourite, best female vocalist, artist, singer.

Janis Joplin was a one of a kind singer with a unique voice. Sadly we lost her too soon. She was only 27 when she died. She had a lot of great songs such as "Me & Bobby McGee", "Ball & Chain", "Summertime", "Down On Me", "Maybe", "Little Girl Blue", "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)", "Get It While You Can", "Bye, Bye Baby", "Move Over", "Mercedes Benz" etc.

She's one of the goats. The live performance of Ball and Chain at the Monterey Festival is a MUST SEE!!!

The piano player in this song is magnificent. God bless ya, Janis. I wish you could have stayed with us for a while longer.

One of the most distinctive voices.. she was a beast ❤ so uniquely talented 🎶

When you said “talk to me lightly” I just laughed because I knew what was gonna happen when you dropped the needle on the record (so to speak). Janis was a QUEEN!

I love this song. Janis was special 🩷

I love her. She has a lot of great music 🎵

She does a live duet with Tom Jones, Raise Your Hand … well worth reacting to!!! Much love ❤

A troubled soul. You can hear it in all her music. RIP Janis Joplin.

1 in a million Janis

Ball and Chain live from Monterey Pop Festival, Work Me Lord, Summertime Live, Bobby Mcgee, Turtle Blues, Maybe, Piece of my Heart... Janis is 🔥 ❤

When you listen to Janis you really need to listen to her live.

The live version is one of the best performances you'll ever see😢 please react to the live version too

The sound she makes the first 2 seconds is stunning

Her live performances are absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. She was such a lonely soul ...😢. The guy she loved was traveling through Africa & few other countries. I think ...she thought ...he had blown her off! She hadn't heard from him in quite a while...he didn't message her until the day after she died. In a live performance she mentions how these men take off to travel & she specifically mentions Africa. After her shows...the band members would take off with there wives....girlfriends ..etc. But she would go back to a hotel room by herself. ...feeling very much alone. She OD'd on heroine at 27 years old...😢.

Man, she was such a unique one of a kind singer.......gone way too soon.... she does have a live version of this song

My favorite by her

It's so awesome to say nothing because my lady said it all!!

I love this song of her, such a great performance.

Oh my God you are going to love her. I'm just starting the video. I have been rocking with her for almost 50 years both her and Al Green❤❤❤❤ three of my favourite songs by her trust me work me Lord and little girl Blues live on Tom Jones Show she was so incredible and so talented and passed away much too young you know one of the saddest things she ever said in my opinion was after a concert she said I just made love to 25,000 people and now I'm going home alone😢😢😢😢

I love seeing the first time reactions to Janis. ❤❤❤

One of the best.

Wow she is amazing that's is singer thank you❤❤❤

She was a lightening bolt for sure ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Janis had such a distinctive voice and style. She had a very troubled life cut far too short, but oh what a talent.

Janis and Jimi Hendrix were friends with benefits ❤

I cried all day when she died. There will NEVER BE ANOTHER PEARL !!❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶

Mom had this album Pearl in her amazing collection growing up. #summertime is the peak

The bridge almost sounds like rap. Remarkable performance, and seamless transitions between different singing styles.

Little Girl Blue. I miss her so much. She only wanted to be loved. ❤that cascading piano at the end of Cry Baby.

like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison (the Doors) and Mama Cass, Janis died at age 27......hence, the "27 Club".....R.I.P., all....so sad

Any live performance video I’ve seen of her, she’s so toasted that it makes me sad.

My first thought was, "But Sistah Janis doesn't sing lightly for anyone! You were properly blown away, and then you caught the groove. You show good taste, young Grasshopper, and your reactions are always satisfying. By the way, at the end there? Damn, son, you are too cute! *I recommend that you listen to In the Quiet Morning by Mimi Farina, Janis' younger sister, and the best copy, I believe, is by Joan Baez. Follow the lyrics if you need to. It may sound too Pop-rock-ish, but it was written as a tribute by her little sister; think about that. A sad ending to a story too often repeated even today. I admit to having my dark, dark times, but so far, I have come out on the other side. I feel Janis . . .

You should see the live version!

She left this world way too soon!

Also my friend the classic summertime she does an incredible job of also to be honest I haven't heard anything by her I haven't liked but I just love some more than the others❤❤❤❤❤

💙JANIS💙

you need to hear janis in toronto about three months before she died

You'd like Another Little Piece of My Heart.

The one and only! ❤💔

RIP Miss Joplin - club of 27 unfortunately ♥ she was the embodiment of the Flower Power era

So good, a pleasure to be at the Monterey pop festival

The live version is 🔥 🔥 🔥

Great reaction, crazy.

Janis wraps me up in her fingers

I’m at a blues bbq outing and wish they sing a Janis song ❤

BTW, your reactions were 100% appropriate.

Even better live. Watch one of her concert videos.

So many female singers and actresses have wanted to play her in a biopic, but there is no one who can hold a candle next her. Maria McKee is the only one I can think of who might have been able to pull it off.

Please react to metal singer, Dan Vasc singing Amazing Grace. If you don't get goosebumps you're not alive!

Yes cry baby live is even better

This was awesome and I can't to see some Christina grimmie back on the channel

🔥🔥🔥🔥

❤

RIP Pearl.

Ball and Chain by Janis!!! please

Janis had such a traumatic life. She was a woman so full of pain. She had a wonderful heart and she wore her heart on her sleeve. She’s part of the dreaded 27 club. Big loss to the music world.

If only she could put a little emotion into her songs lol

☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥😢

Loved listening to her growing up. My Mama couldn't stand her. lol

The most correct reaction ive ever seen Just walk off and let her do her shit

🔥✌️🤗

Please, please check out Maybe. It's the first song I heard from her was hooked since🔥🔥🔥

Tom Jones & Janis Joplin - Raise Your Hand, from the Tom Jones TV Show.

Kosmic Blues is a great one.....not reacted too much but a hit...... needs lyrics though as there's quite a lot of words

You are my 😍 favorite

The live version is much better!

Aveai pampers când eu o adoram? atât mLaszlo din Timișoara

You should listen to Samantha fish

Tina Turner could really belt it out also

Imagine that voice coming out of a cute chubby...5ft 3 inch... young lady....

Live version.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rriYe8d3t6ymcac.html

I have been so deep into watching political videos, I have missed a bunch of yours. My bad.

Your thumbnail is not her...she was kinda cute..but a short chubby..yea still looked good..

Didn't you know that icon? Have you never heard about Woodstock Festival? Jesus, who are you?

OK then, but don't go harshin' on the greats again.
