No one sings like JJ, no one ever did and no one ever will. There's a difference between trying to be raw and just being raw. Janis Joplin was as raw and as real as it gets!

I was fortunate to see her in 68 front row. After the set she walked by got to shake her hand. This 16 yr old will never forget that show

Revisiting. I so appreciate your truly watching as well as listening, and watching and listening to the very end of the song. Fantastic. Thank you.

Amazing and glad to see someone else feels her pain and passion

No one even comes close. The phrase 'they broke the mold' applies to only probably a handful of people in the music biz...and she is one of them 💖

Always good to listen to Janis - attempts to imitate, but she was totally original. Janis's music has stayed with me for over a half century now and still stirs my old heart. Try her "Get It While You Can", "Kozmic Blues", "Codine", "Cry Baby", "Little Girl Blue", "Move Over", "Summertime" - although she put everything she had into every song she performed.

Janis could sing like this because she had a very tortured life, a social outcast and incredibly unique with many addiction issues. A legend of the “27 club”, RIP Janis, there will never be another! 🤍

Brilliant choice. One of my all time favourite Janis songs. Beth Hart is the only current female singer who comes close to the passion of Janis. Janis lived life at warp speed.

A good reaction, from the heart. Thank you.

This is hands-down my favourite song she has ever sung. I feel this song exquisitely shows the loneliness and pain she felt when she was here on earth.

there is janis joplin and 'the others" .She is number one

Please: Janis Joplin live performance Monterrey Pop Festival (1967) Ball and chain. The best performance! You will never forget!

The thing is is that Janis was one of a kind. While there were many great singers Janis has always been in a world of her own. No one can touch a song the way she did. She had a innate natural ability and gift. She is Rembrandt, Mozart, DaVinci. Above others. What is sad is that not only was Janis one of a kind but, the day allowed for singers to be themselves. They were not over produced, auto tuned and corporatized like today. The soul and artistic and creative juices drained out of music and artists like today. There was always a place for new sounds and independent music to experiment and flourish. What gave us punk, new wave, grunge, ect. is not possible today, I don't despair. The energy and passion of early rock n roll was roped off and made acceptable and white bread bland by the late 50s/early 60s until the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the British Invasion exploded. Then in the late 70s we had another blah period with Captain and Tenille and = ugh = disco. Until My Sherona exploded on the radio and spilling out of CBGB we got Sex Pistols, the Ramones and Clash and Blondie and punk/new wave and another period of exciting music. This is the longest drought. About 2000/2010 music got awful again so, we are overdue another explosion of something. In the meantime check out this new group I just discovered called the Black Pumas.

Janis was absolutely one of a kind and she left us all too soon. She is the one artist of my generation that I regret never getting to see live. A couple of song suggestions: Crown of Creation by Jefferson Airplane Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan Carry On!!

Janis live 'Little Girl Blue' on Tom Jones' TV show is another incredible listen and see.

There is nobody like Janis! Nobody

Kosmic Blues is her pouring out her soul too.... in most songs she pours her heart out - Love somebody, crying, piece of my heart, maybe. Many others

Janis was the best of the best female singers. I have idolized her since way back in the day. Thank you for bringing her memory back 🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕

Singers today have so much technology can make them sound much better than just a raw voice she has a band and a microphone and the band is incredible I really blame for losing Janice sound so good because she's pure emotion she puts it all out there....

They were called the "27 Club. Jimi Hendrix died at 27 a month later. After that, everyone started tumbling. Janis died from a heroin overdose, but she drank a lot of Southern Comfort. smoked, and as she lived in the Haight (Haight-Ashbury), drugs were a part of that scene in the end. All told, I think she died of a broken heart. What a powerful, yet vulnerable ,human. I love her.

I'm 65 and can still feel it when she sings

the gold vest that she has on was one of her favorite things in the clothes line.

Pain and passion define Janis.

🖤💞♥️❤️🌹👏🏼👏🏼🥺 I love her

There is no one that even comes close. Watch the documentary on her called “Little Girl Blue”. It is truly excellent. The song by the same is also excellent.

Miss Joplin was way ahead of her time there was no one like her then possibly Grey Slick and a bit later Stevie Nick's and Anne Wilson but Janis was special I don't think she even knew what she was bringing to the music world with her sound that raspy scream her wailing or the way she could take a song from any genre and make it her own! In my opinion she was the First lady of Rock in Roll Shit she could've fit well in my generation and fronted a heavy metal band in the 90's, I think if it wasn't for her female rock singers wouldn't be who they are today🤟

I related to this song from a teen, to current. The layers of her singing this with such depth from her soul. Great reaction!

One of a f***ing kind. And look at history. The FIRST FIRST WOMAN to take on Soul like James Brown. Groundbreaker. Iconoclast. Genius

This is a performance from Woodstock I think. 2am if I’m not mistaken. She was so darn good it was unbelievable. I still get chills when I hear her music.

For being one of the most famous ladies of her Era and so loved by her fans sadly Janis was incredibly lonely and couldn't find love or a lasting relationship so I think the feeling she put into this song was her genuine pain because she knew how it felt to be useless, unloved, and utterly alone until her last precious breath... 😢 Love you miss Joplin

No one out there now is even close

This sht made me cry. It made my goosebumps hurt

One of the best blues singers every born .Sadly this was her painful story..

Hawksmere: I'd really enjoy (in a Janis way) "Little Girl Blue". Thank you.

Just today I declared to a woman I have to toss all ties because my love is too strong. I included this song in the goodbye letter as an example of the strong woman I like. Best of luck to you 😎

Janis was the best there ever was in rock & roll, period, end of discussion.. However, if you're interested in checking out someone from the level right below Janis, check out Ann Wilson with Heart. Start with Crazy on You and/or Magic Man, and go from there...maybe touch on Dreamboat Annie after those first two.

The only one today who can sing like Janis is Beth Hart. Watch the video of Caught out in the rain. Make sure the version is live at the Royal Albert Hall

Power and vulnerability all at once, it sounded like a freight train about to derail but manages to hold it together. Never heard anything like it.

BETH HART CAN DO THAT …but there is ONLY ONE JANIS JOPLIN 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸

I have seen a couple try to sing like Janis, but no way. One that comes to mind is Melissa Etheridge. They don't have the soul.

I wish the horns would have pulled back to let Janis Joplin sing.

BETH HART, CHECK HER OUT LIVE AT PARADESLE

Beth Hart is the closest thing to Janis today check out Am I the one Live at Paradiso. Beth is described as the best female blues artist today. She's not Janis BUT she sings with the same power and passion. If you hear her sing in sure you'll become a fan.

Pink can but then she does a lot of Janus songs too.

No one can do that!

And she was obviously self-destructive. But let's demand more of the same.

check out Courtney Hadwin AGT

Ok sorry this was not the Woodstock performance and no there is no other singer in her league.

the answer to your question---None.

Yes 1969, but NO, .... people did NOT sing like that in 1969.... nobody except Janis! ( a few exceptions... Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Lydia Pence, and the great Maggie Bell❣️) Janis Joplin was the only person who could get away with calling the Lord God.." Honey"!☮️

Male maybe Freddie mercury but no Janis is unique

hawksmere check out beth hart live she is always compared to janis
