Best Female Vocalist to ever grace this planet. Cry Baby, Ball and Chain Live at Monterey Pop Festival, Little Girl Blue is a must, the a cappella version of Mercedes Benz. That should get you started. Janis had a really hard life. When someone states that she sings with all the raw emotion anyone could give, it’s not a lie. She was bullied from the time she was a child until college when she was voted the ugliest man on campus. She had a beautiful soul though and unfortunately died at age 27 before she even realized just how much her fans loved her.
Summertime is from George Gerswins Porgy and Bess. Originally written as a lullaby in Porgy and Bess. Covered by Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and other legends.
Absolutely other worldly! I still play her album that I bought back then. I'm hearing her song "Cry, Baby" in a commercial lately, another one you might react to, also "Me and Bobby Magee," "Little Girl Blue," and definitely the live Monterrey Pops version of "Ball and Chain." Man, she is missed!
Janis is truly unique. Many try to compare her to other but till this day her singing style and performance is in a category like no other. Ball and Chain at Monterey Pop Festival is incredible or I'd recommend Cry Baby too (live or recorded).
She passed away 50 years ago now at the age of 27 due to drug abuse, she has some iconic songs you may have heard and just not know she was the artist. She was the first tattooed celebrity, led the hippie movement and opened doors for women’s rights too and in my opinion is the best vocalist to ever live.
Pure raw emotional power, she was huge from 1967 when she burst on the scene at the Monterrey Pop Festival until her untimely death in 1970. The studio version of "Summertime" is my favorite of her tracks, but there are many more. Big Brother and the Holding Company is the band.
I loved your reaction👏👏👏‼️. Stunned and disbelieving... My girl Janis✌️🌹🎶🦋. Her star burned out way too soon💫🌟. I also encourage you to experience her live at the Monterey Pop Festival. She always gave 200% and left people stunned. Mama Cass from the Mommas and Poppas was in the audience and was witnessing her for the first time. The camera caught her reaction. I had the privilege and pleasure of seeing her in person the last time she played at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco in 1969. She blew the doors off the place and left us all forever changed.
Listen to "Piece of my Heart" and the original version of "Summertime" from "Cheap Thrills" by Big Brother and the Holding Company, her debut album. Some of her best work. She was a major star at Woodstock. She died of an overdose at the young age of 27 on Oct. 4, 1970, at the height of her career.
She was one of. Many that died of a drug overdose at 27. I love Janis Joplin. So sad...if you look up some one her interviews... shes so cool and down to earth very loveable
I see the stunned reaction of people playing Janis for the first time and end up feeling like you. I think it might be that being used to the plastic pop princesses of today with their auto tuned voices and inane songs - hello Taylor Swift et. al. - people are not expecting the raw, emotional and soulful blues of Janis. Listen to Ball and Chain or Cry Baby and you will see her range is so much more then what you heard on here. What Janis does to a song is a work of art. There will never be another like her. And while you are at it give a listen to a new band out. Black Pumas. Such a refreshing and amazing band in today's arid desert of nothing.
Love love Janis.. I second Monterey pop festival and ball and chain to listen to. This is one of my all time favorites of hers, also Little girl blue and Maybe are amazing. Hey who am I kidding anything janis sang was amazing.
Oh my hell..so thankful to at last hear someone speak truth to today)s music. Hallelujah my dear man...you just got done did by my girl Janis! Feels good don’t it?
Janis was certainly one of a kind, there'll never be anyone like her. She's pretty much the only female artist that I listen to because I completely agree with you about modern female singers warbling away - it gets on my nerves. The rot started with Whitney Houston I think, all this screeching up and down the scale and never settling on a note. Sorry, but I hate it with a oassion - just find the bloody note and sing it!
Yes Janis was great, but different style. Whitney didn’t sing blues and rock. Whitney’s voice is probably the greatest in terms of range and purity. Love Janis, but her place in music history is different.
Unfortunately Janis never really got to live and grow more as an artist because she died from a accidental heroin overdose at the age of 27 in Oct 1970! They were in the middle of making what became her last album called Pearl which was a nickname for her and one of the songs on the album went to number one and she never got to experience that which was a cover of “Me and Bobby McGee” they finish the album and put it out after she passed! I won hundred percent agree with you there is no singer today that can match incredible voice Joplin has!! Another great song from the pearl album is “Cry Baby” but she has so many great ones just go through her catalog and pick out something but if you wanna watch something that’s really fun watch her perform with Tom Jones they’re doing a song called “raise your hand” ua-cam.com/video/mZmiefQ5y4U/v-deo.html and it is so much fun it’s a MUST watch!! Thank you for stepping into the world of Janis Joplin you will never be disappointed!!
I saw your reaction to "Nessun Dorma" , and enjoyed it very much - agree with your assessment %100. Janis Joplin is from my generation, and I'll always have a crush on her.....that might be what you're feeling. Try "Cry Baby" if you want another shot of 'Janis'....you won't be sorry. Thanks for what you are doing.....
Watch her Woodstock performance. You will see a woman in the audience (not a female, a woman) watching with her mouth hanging open in amazement. That woman is the great Cass Elliot of the Mama's and the Papa's, having the experience you just had, watching Janis propel herself into stardom.
She was a force of nature. Nobody can sing like she did.
Albert King called Janis "The Queen of the Blues".
Rest in peace sweet Pearl!
Janis. One in a trillion! A Texas Yellow Rose. Died in 1970 overdose. Her passion was Blues.
The way Janus sings this just raises goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes. Masterpiece!
She was a founding member of the 27 club. Her and Jimmy Hendrix died about one month apart…at 27
welcome to the incredible Janis Joplin, you must watch her live performance of Ball and Chain, from the Monterery Pop fest.
And "Little Girl Blue", please, please.

Fabulous reaction. She's realy sumthin huh? Try "Maybe", "Piece of my Heart", "Work me Lord". RIP, dear Janis. ❤

Her voice always gives me goosebumps
Same :D
Always, every time :D
If you heard her once thereafter you will recognize her. Unique and never to be equaled.
Goose bumps and teary eye. Every time!
Did he hear Janis Joplin Ball and Chain? Might lie Righteous Bros.
"Vibrato" is the term you're looking for, to describe the vocal technique of making the voice waver.
Janis was a force of Nature. And Spirit.
I think it's Auto-Tune.

That studio version is my favorite rock recording, period.

Yes, you need to hear "Piece of My Heart," and "Bobbie McGee," and "Ball and Chain".
Wonderful reaction. Thank you.
Always loved Janis😊

Pleased you saw the light. She's my fave singer, male or female, of all time!
7:19 shaking voice = vibrato = " is a musical effect consisting of a regular, pulsating change of pitch."
Half Moon, Get It While You Can, Move Over, Cry Baby, Me And Bobby McGee
Love love Janis.. I second Monterey pop festival and ball and chain to listen to.

Congratulations on discovering the inimitable Janis.
Janis was an amazing performer. Check out this one: Janis Joplin "Maybe" on The Ed Sullivan Show .
Nobody's mentioned it before so I wanted to let you know that you should definitely also try "Cry Baby".
She was the best snger of that era
Watch the Monterey Festival, live
Best female voice ever....

Listen to Summertime and Ball and Chain

But react to janis Joplin work me lord... it's tough.. like she's begging god to hear her

That was the Monterey Pop Fest. 1967. Janis was just becoming known and she sang Ball and Chain
בשבילי יש רק זמרת אחת ואהבה אחת - ג'ניס
I'm so happy 44 is my lucky number wow one off
You just witnessed '60s cool.
Monterey Pop live next.
Rip janis.
You are soooou right
She's like a female James Brown. Or James Brown is a male Janis Joplin.
Now try Ball and Chain at Monterrey.
React to Tina Turner river deep mountain high the Phil Spector's version..truly amazing
👏🏼💞♥️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
React to Tina Turner early addiction River Deep mountain high..Phil Spector's version
Please react to Imrcsionante. El condor pasa. Please you will be amazed Joe Campos
She died aged 27.
Could you listen to TOOL please. X
Mercedes Benz and Me and Bobbie Mc Gee are two great Janis Joplin songs. Great Reaction .
The music industry at that time destroyed her...fragile she was with a voice that should not come out of a WHITE woman...it wasn't accepted.
Your system is really bad can barely hear you or the song
Try the Janis Joplin song "WORK ME LORD". That voice....like no other ever was or ever will be.
