I am old enough that I actually saw her in concert in San Diego shortly before she died. There are no words to describe how soulful and moving it was to hear the songs actually coming out of her instead of a recording! She can only be described as an absolute force of nature!

Loveee Janis One Of Her Biggest Fan's Here✌️👍

This is my favorite Janis performance? What a song!!!

The great Albert king referred to Janis as the queen of the blues

She always poured her heart out into every performance...so much emotion. I can't help but, shed a tear, every time I see Janis sing live.

Welcome to the party, younguns...there is SO MUCH MORE!

Janis Joplin was a great blues singer in her short life. She is missed. RIP

She knocks "Summertime" out of the park! Thanks dear SINGER!

Love her, love her, love her. Thank you for reacting to her.

You are absolutely right that Janis had to be the first female blue-eyed soul artist. She did some rock which was played on the radio back in the day, and even a country-slanted (Me & Bobby McGee) song, but you could just tell her PASSION was the blues, and she was SO good at it.

You are the first to discover this rare clip of Janis from TV . One of her best songs , tho someone else wrote it .

I love when ppl appreciate Janis. I grew up listening to her, my mom had all her albums.

It doesn't get any better than this !

This lady could sing! Sadly we lost her too soon. She was only 27 when she died. "Me & Bobby McGee" is one of my favorites by her but she had a lot of great songs such as "Piece Of My Heart", "Cry Baby", "Down On Me", "Maybe", "Little Girl Blue", "Ball & Chain", "Summertime", "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)", "Get It While You Can", "Bye, Bye Baby", "Move Over" & her original song "Mercedes Benz".

I've enjoyed her music for over 50 yrs. Thank you for your wonderful content. 😊

What an incredible talent she was. Sheer grit and soul. Gone way too soon.

Janis still gives me goosebumps, unbelievable.

Such an amazing voice but such a sad story her life was 💗

tears ... thx... you bring out the best!

If Janis were still alive and singing, I could see her doing duets with Jimmy Barnes. How awesome would that be?!

Man, I love your observations and takes. How many times I watched this performance but never snapped to how she reluctantly let go of the mic before the instrumental. I also never noticed how she had a hard time getting out of the song after she was finished. It almost seems like she felt like she had more to say. The lyrics where she says "we may not be here tomorrow" is prophetic and heart wrenching.

Unfreakingbelievable eh!! 👏👏👏. Karise Eden sounds like Janice.

God I love Janis

So is amazing, very unique and underrated. Great Janis, mixed old school blues with 60s rock. Legendary!!!!!

Yes! Janis is my girl! Love her ♥️

Thank you for reacting to some more Janis my all-time favorite female performer imo no one comes close!

She was her time! Great member of a era of unmatched and still inspiring musicians/ songwriters/ performers. I’ll state my bias tho because I’m that generation.

Listen to Janis’ cover of ‘Maybe’ & you’ll hear her full range, just beautifully.

The Rose 🥀

Classic

There is nobody like Janis, Karise Eden comes close, but there will only ever be 1 Janis. There's a great video of Janis and Tom Jones singing "Raise Your Hand". It's well worth a look, fantastic vocals and dancing by both of them.😀🎶👍❤️

I came here for your reaction to Gabriel Henrique. But I signed up for that reaction. I love so much Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Nina Simone, Otis Redding, and all wonderful singers like these. I grew up listening to these wonderful singers and many others. It seems to be because I'm Brazilian, but my mother loved songs like that. I'm not a singer but I'm passionate about music, good voices, unique styles. 🙏🏻

I would have loved to hear her with a gospel choir. Can you imagine the energy between her and a gospel choir. Check out BALL AND CHAIN. She was abused by the industry who cared nothing for her emotional health. She gave all of herself.

Imagine Stevie Ray Vaughan and Janis performing the blues together…oh that would be heaven!!

Janis worshipped all the great blues snd soul singers- especially Bessie Smith, Nina, Aretha and Mahalia. She had to leave her Texas town because no one understood or appreciated her. They didn’t agree with her support of Civil Rights either.

My favourite JanisJ is "Piece Of My Heart".

I cried the day she died. She was finally at peace and her pain was over but the world's pain was just beginning....

Jeeeesus if ever a white woman was possessed with the soul of a black gospel woman it was her omg, the classics we missed out on with her way too younga passing

I don't remember seeing this live version. Bloody phenomenal 👏👏👏

Pearl 🖤

Such a loss for the music world and music lovers alike. Apart from being an amazingly powerful singer, she was also a fascinating person.

Dude you got some great recommendations for Janis Joplin! I’m a new fan and I’m seeing new material from Janis. She can sing!

Wow! You did it! Great! Just knew you would love it. Hopefully you can hit "Try a Little Bit Harder" also from the Cavett show.

How good was Janis Joplin. RIP

pure janis.

I remember an interview where she gave credit to LoUiSiAna especially Lake Charles not far from her hometown for her inspirations and free spirit. Me and Bobby Magee starts off,"Busted flat in Baton Rouge"(LoUiSiAna)! She attended Baton Rouge High School also(I don't know how that happened. Kris Kristofferson wrote Me and Bobby Magee(from Minnesota). Kris hitched around coastal LoUiSiAna and worked in the oilfields. He did some boxing also while there. Kris said she changed(botched)a few lyrics. But she made his song a hit with her rendition so it was all good.(forgiven). He attended her Walk of Fame dedication when she got her star!

Yes❤

That was her time…❤

You should check out Peggy Lee-Fever. You know the song but of all the amazing singers who’ve sung it, it’s a blond haired, blue eyed white girl that has the best version, imo. Or the most well known. But she’s pre Janis. There’s Judy Garland of course, too.

Really enjoyed this

Have you seen the movie ‘the rose ‘ with Bette milder playing Janis Joplin 💜

I think you should react to Melissa Etheridge - the closest to coming to sounding like Janis. “ I’m the Only One”. There’s a great RRHOF video of Melissa, recovering from cancer with a bald head, singing “Piece of My Heart”. It’s phenomenal.

She was bullied at school, I think in her last year book they said that she was the ugliest boy in the school. They were so mean to her because she wasn’t the classic 50s girl. But man her Authenticity just added to her beauty. Terrible loss to the music world. No one compares to her.

This woman left everything she had on this planet before she left it.

You would love Renee Geyer too.

All the things you just said is why she is still super famous,50 + years later

Janis is #1 forever. And Joe Cocker did the same for men. Then... then Robert Plant copied Janis's style and knocked Joe into #2.... still my personal fave 3 Blues Rockers EVER. Mind you a guy called Marriott (Plant's fave singer) wants in. And Beth Hart too. Peace from Canada.

Omg I love a little of Janis!!! I was totally born in the wrong generation!!

the Lady is in the pre self realisation of the little chance she has of finding...self destruction ensures ...she knew this

Usually when she wore the more glamorous outfits and the boas in her hair she was embracing her alter ego named Pearl.

Karise Eden is about the closest to Janis I've heard

If you like get it while you can, take a look at Ball and chain live in Monterey,she had soul litery from head to toe and it 's her PAIN like her bios. Francophone trying very hard.

Have you found to Courtney Hadwin yet? I reccomend her if you like Janice.

Can you please react to Robert palmer song called Know by now Please

If you want to hear a great singer from Brazil, I leave a link to a video of the wonderful Tim Maia. If you make a reaction from him I'm sure Brazilians will appear from everywhere! 😆 Was a really great singer in the 70s/80s. He was an amazing songwriter, sadly now deceased, but with an immense musical legacy. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aq2Ilbug36nPe6s.html

Lemme guess the reaction video was a toss-up between Brittany or Janis 🤣

Please listen to Susan Tedeschi song is hurt so bad

huge self esteem issue unfortunately for her vexed soul...you could not but Love her outpourings
