Thumbs up Jewel on Nashville Star

I really liked her on last night's show, and think she's got a really good ear and pretty keen insights on the music world as it is now and where acts can fit into it.

Given how PC came out, seeing her on the show last night almost made me think she should move into production for a while--break a couple of artists, get exposure to some new sounds in country--then come back refreshed and ready to cut a great, really-really-real country record.

I was a little shocked/amused by John Rich's comment about Jewel being pitchy in the studio, but I think she shot back at him pretty well.

I thought she did great as well. Have you seen Yahoos front page, it says: Jewel's Paula-like remark, One "Nashville Star" judge gets mean, while Jewel makes an outrageous comment... They totally took her comment out of context. But, any publicity is good publicity. GO JEWEL.

If you think about it, that commentators comment is pretty stupid. "not a good idea to mention murdering people in the south." Like what, it's ok to murder people in the north? I get where he's going, but I mean, it sort of makes his comments invalid to me.

I just watched that--I think he's just trying (unsuccessfully) to be funny. I actually really liked what she had to say--including about how to work the crowd, which we all know she's been knowing how to do since she was singing in bars with Atz.

Wow! Am I the only one who thought that show was pathetic?!!!! The contestants were so horrible to me, I was shocked at how not good they were considering all of the great raw talent from last year. I almost couldn't listen to Jewel speak without cringing because of the crazy Southern accent.... Wow, now I feel bad, I think that's the first not nice comment I've ever made about Jewel. But really, no one else noticed that at all?

I wasn't overly impressed with the level of talent either to be honest. Last year definitely excelled in the talent area but this year, not so much. But I suppose they'll all get their chance to improve. They could be amazing by the end!

I felt so sorry for Jewel though having to make that decision. She looked literally heartbroken at the thought of being the deciding factor in sending someone home. There was legitimate pain in her face making that dreaded decision. I just wanted to give her a cuddle!

LOL--between Rich and Billy Ray, the beginning of last night's show was totally a free commercial for PC. Nice.

Don't know if there are clips available online, but Rich started complimenting this one contestant chick, telling her that she could do great in the folk-country world, then he started praising Jewel, calling her the reigning queen of folk-country, and commending her album to the contestants, and mentioned that she had the #1 album in the country right now (conveniently leaving out that it's #1 only among country albums, lol). Then Billy Ray started talking about how her album is amazing, and how it dropped last week and everyone should go pick it up. That model guy who can't sing to save his life was like "um...cool?" But he's worthless anyway, so there's that.

I kinda like it when she's mean, and I also like it when she gives them technical advice. I think if she were too nice or not specific enough with her criticisms, she'd get a reputation for being the Paula and no one would take her judgment seriously. As it is, I think she's pretty pointed but pretty right-on, and people are getting a chance to recognize that she has real chops.
