    I am listening to this song 10 years later in 2022 and I can't understand why Linda Perry in not a huge mega star and a household name. She is phenomenal.

      Umm, because she isn't that great, that's why. "What's Up" was her only real hit. You need to be a lot more than a one hit wonder, to make it as a megastar.
      Sure she does an OK job with this song, but she definitely is not a Beyonce or Lady Gaga.. Not even close..

    I'm a 64 year old orthodox Jewish man. I just played Letter to God for the first time. It brought tears to my eyes. I'm speechless! Trust me, that doesn't happen often.
    Linda Perry is a truly gifted artist. God bless you always!

    A stunning performance. When she sang, "I never wanted to be this person you see" I teared up. I can only imagine her burden -- yet she added, "but thank you."
    Like others I don't understand why she's not a major music star. She's most certainly a major talent.

    Linda is so good at twisting the screw on her songs. She has the lines on her face of her struggles, and the skill to draw people in to listen to her story. You just want to hug the girl. My favorite of her arsenal is " Get it While You Can."

  • @everardoromero4121

    I can't get through this song without crying. Linda Perry put my mom's life and story into words. My mothers conversations with God kept her alive and going until she decided to stop eating because she wanted to be with God. She was abused and humiliated since the day she was born and her biggest desire was to go with God after seeing that all of us, her children were adults and ok. This is probably the one song that I love the most, its dark and it's honest. It makes me remember my mother and how important it is to be honest.

    Ten out of ten. Thank you, Linda. Awesome performance, as usual.
    I'm an (old) hetero male, but just love and support this. It makes me sick that people would be made to feel "lesser" for their choice of who they love. Way greater problems in this world than to worry about a person's individual sexuality. They LOVE, is that not enough?
    I'd watch AGT, if she were on there as a judge, but would think (hope) she wouldn't sell-out for that.

    You are a very wonderful songwriter and have a beautiful soul, I have listened to you from the beginning of 4 Non Blondes. It’s truly mind blowing how so many generations have been spoon fed with such anger and hatred with prejudices against color, sexual preferences, individuality. Thankfully it’s thru wonderful artists such as yourself and others who can put all their thoughts of love and pain, happiness and sorrows down to music for all to share and to relate to everyone’s daily trials and tribulations of our wonderful daily and constant bombardment of subliminal messages of hatred and bias. I truly wish you many years of love and happiness and can’t wait for you put it in a song !! Thank you !!
