Default Who do you think should do jewel next

With artists like Bellefire, and Fiona Sit already having cover versions of You were Meant for Me. It got me thinking Jewel is at a point now where anyone of her songs could be covered at anytime. So if you could think of any jewel songs that you would like to see covered what is the song and who is the artist. I will Start

Down So Long - Toby Lightman
I think toby lightman is an amazing artist and i think she could bring a really unique sound to the song and give it a little bit more soul and make it a really intresting song. Look at what she has done for "operator" and "real love"

You were Meant for Me - Damien Rice
I always wanna hear a male sing this song. I think damien rice has an amazing voice and could really make someone's heart melt if he sang this song.

U + Me = LOVE - Girls Aloud
I know people might murder me for saying this one or even putting girls aloud and jewel in the same sentence but if anyone could make a cover a hit it is deftintley girls aloud. I mean "walk this way" "I think were alone now" "Jump" "i'll stand by you" "see the day" . I can't think of their other covers but I can deft seeing this as being right up their alley.


I will think of some more songs later but does anyone else got any ideas

"U & Me.." is the worst song of Jewel ..ever (in my opinion)

Well:

(but no one can sing so good as jewel does it)

"Violet Eyes" by Alanis Morissette

"Grey Matter" by Lisa Loeb

""Foolish Games " by Regina Spektor

"Drive to you" by Kelly Clarkson

This title made me scared at first! My answer would have been "ME!!!" But anyway, I think I would want to here Godsmack cover "Jesus Loves You." I think they would put a really awesome spin on that song.

i would want vanessa carlton to do foolish games, because jewel's voice sounds so vulnerable and sad in the verses, which i can so see vanessa doing, but i can also totally picture vanessa doing the "excuse me, think i've mistaken you for somebody else" part.

This is a very interesting post. I'll have to give her other songs some thought, but I could definitely see Who Will Save Your Soul and A Very Big Girl easily being covered as jazz songs- too bad all the best jazz artists are dead or old. AVBG is very Ella Mae or Velma Middleton and I can also see Maxine Sullivan or Peggy Lee doing it. And I can just picture young Lena Horne singing a slower version of WWSYS- the way she moved and made gestures when she sang would look great with the song and she made similar facial contortions, eye expressions, and smiles to Jewel's when she sang. And I can't think of many Jewel songs that couldn't be covered by country/blues singers, her acoustic stuff anyway, not so sure about most of 0304!
Some more thoughts:
Alison Krause- Grey Matter
Rascal Flatts- Down So Long
Sara Evans- Break Me
Trisha Yearwood- Foolish Games

I think the reverse would be even better, that is, Jewel covering other people's songs. There are so many different potential songs that I've imagined Jewel covering- her voice is so versatile. Not to mention she's covered many artists already- Donovan, Lynard Skynard, Ella Fitzgerald, Tracy Chapman, The Beatles...

Sara Evans doing Break Me. That I would have to see to believe it.
I could see Sara doing an amazing version of Everybody needs someone sometimes

It's a tie between Beth Ditto and Melissa Etheridge for love me just leave me alone. I'm leaning more towards Melissa though I love her raspy voice.

The dya Godsmackcovers a Jewle song is the day I look for the Four Horseman! Godsmack isn'ta politicla band so them doing a political song would be waaay out of flavor.

I would love to hear Marilyn Manson do a Jewel cover, maybe "Fragile Heart" since he's doing all that "lovey- dovey sad and lonely" stuff now. Make it all Gothy.

Pussy Cat Dolls could cover "Only One Too."

Melissa Etheridge could do "Drive to You."

Alanis would sound killer on "Violet Eyes" as well as "Carnivore."

yay! I think Alanis would do a good Violet Eyes but not Carnivore. I dont think her voice has that range. Maybe.

Tori Amos covering- Angel Standing By or ANY of Jewels songs.
Fiona Apple covering- Dont

Id like to hear Jewel do something with Tori amos.

Benjamin Costello, an unsigned singer-songwriter, did a cover of Foolish Games. It's pretty good. He even added the extra verse!
