Jewel is absolutely one of the greatest female singer/songwriter of her generation.
Underrated vocalist
I prefer the album version as a song but this is an incredible feat of vocal acrobatics. And her voice is astonishingly resonant live. She and her peers from the 90s made the best music of my lifetime.
Same.
Jewel’s first album was released in ‘95 ( where this song is from) when she was 21. It was a monster hit, with the song Who Will Save My Soul the standout. She’s had an interesting life, beginning with singing and yodeling with her dad when she was a young teen. Read her bio on Wikipedia.
Her vocals & range is some of the best ever. This version of the song really showcases how talented she is. Her vibrato is unlike anyone ive ever heard. Masterpiece
Hi friend, great reaction. Found your channel because of this jewel reaction. She is one of the most amazing and underrated vocalists of the past 25 yrs. Since you seem to appreciate an amazing voice I can fully recommend exploring more Jewel
Thanks for this one. My favorite Jewel song is called Hands, from her album Spirit.
Jewel was a HUGE deal. Her album, “Pieces of You” was wildly successful. For interest, you may want to check out the studio version of this song…very different. This is Jewel in her more poetic side - she was a poet, songwriter, singer.
Oh...she's dead now ??
Is. She Is still singing and still relevant
@@foxandscout Phew. SO happy to hear that. Thanks.
Sorry, one misstep with one word…I obviously meant IS. Wow.
@@kcarr9589 All good. It always gives a special taste in my mouth when I discover artists after they're dead. It happened to me with Eva Cassidy, and it was terrible tbh. Now, with Jewel, I can relax and know that there will be more from her in the future, God willing. Take care :-)
I think I will always be a fan of the album version - that's the way I first heard this song, so it's automatically my favorite. Definitely worth checking out.
I completely agree. While I do love Jewel, I have never enjoyed her live performances as much because they seem a bit self-indulgent. She strays so much from the melody of the song that her fans love that you can’t help but feel like she’s only singing for herself. I know that sounds like an awful interpretation but that’s how I feel about her and a lot of other artists actually
@@PhenixJoe 100%
Wow... a million times and I never heard this performance.
THANK YOU
Wow! Amazing. I had only ever heard the original version!!
Great reaction Adam Jewel is a very special person and an artist that is well worth listening to.
Jewel is amazing. Her and Tori Amos were the music of my youth. I’d love to see you react to more of her stuff.
I’ve always loved Jewel. ❤️
I’ve always thought that Jewel has a thousand voices. If you watch an entire concert
th-cam.com/video/DLPcS__K5N4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=N8b9zKt5EDUQsTlO
(I recommend Jewel live at Humphrey’s by the Bay) you’ll realize that she’s more than just range or vibrato or tones. She literally has innumerable distinct voices from which she crafts her tales, like a voiceover actor with a thousand different characters in their repertoire. It’s completely fascinating to hear a whole concert because you get to hear so many of her voices. I know this video is already a year old and I’m just now finding it, but just for your own enjoyment and amazement I encourage you to watch an entire concert of hers, preferably one in an intimate setting without the background noise of 30,000 people.
This isnt everything she has...If you want to see all of her vocal acrobatics check out her performance at the 1999 Woodstock of Who Will Save Your Soul....soooo many vocal techniques, its insane both higher and lower than in this one....she likes to sing along with the guitar and mimic it and all kinds of stuff, yodeling and all kinds of stuff. It's like minutes of her freestyling her vocal art....TOTALLY different from the studio version, its 100% her just displaying her art!
She actually sings solely for me.
But the rest of you are welcome to listen in
Jewel is one of like 5 artists that I listened to on repeat; she shaped my taste in music. And her poetry was foundational to the development of my own writing.
The songs that I keep on my "Superior Songwriting" playlist from her are:
- 1000 miles away
- Stephenville TX
- You Were Meant for Me
- Sometimes It Be That Way (I wish the full like 8 minute version was available somewhere - I literally still own my first gen ipod with the napster download because i cant get it anywhere else)
- Love Me Just Leave Me Alone
- Perfectly Clear
Timing is perfect. I woke up this morning to new Jewel music that she performed on The Masked Singer, including a cover of Gaga & Patsy Cline. Her control is nuts. My favorite song is one that was never officially released, but she performed live… called “Violet Eyes”. Even her pop stuff when she was making fun of pop culture is great… see the song “Intuition”. Have a great day!!!
Find a dvd of Jewel Live at Humphries by the Bay. She is amazing in a full concert. First half is her alone w acoustic guitar, she does many of her very best songs in what I like to call, Jewel's five voices. Then she is joined by a band for part 2 which is just as good. She often ends her shows with yodeling, leading the faster yodeling and finally high speed yodeling, all live. Amazing. So glad my stepdaughter left her cd in my stereo, I figured it would just be some pop crap I would hear a few songs and never again. Instead I loved her and now own most of her music.
Humphrey’s by the Bay is my absolute FAVORITE concert I’ve seen her do! I’m just so fascinated by her ability to tell a story in so many voices. You broke it down much more succinctly, but I always say that Jewel has 1,000 voices. She doesn’t ONLY have vocal range or JUST have multiple tones or varying vibrato, when you watch an entire concert it feels like she’s communicating in 1000 different voices. I’ll never NOT be enthralled by her.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Jewel. A fitting name for her, as she's a gem.
One of her favourite song its awesome
She is my All-time favorite artist! Thank you for this. This is one of my personal favorite performances. :)
It's funny that you said she seems like the type that does what she wants, because that's exactly what she did! She played in coffee shops and bars as a teenager and eventually had labels fighting over her and was offered a 1 million dollar deal. She read a book about the music industry before signing, and realized that the money is really a loan and that the label would have complete control over her so she turned it down...as a broke teenager. Incredible. But later she signed a contract with Atlantic, she wrote her songs the way she wanted and was incredibly successful. She grew up with an abusive alcoholic father with no running water and ran away at 16 eventually becoming homeless, that tough upbringing is likely where she learned to inject so much emotion into her music. She is really an incredible woman.
Great video. So articulate and insightful. Well done my friend.
Thank you!
This song crush my heart ,i can't never contain my tears.
15 or 2o years ago Jewel was a music power house , she married world champion Bull Riders Ty Morray and put her career on hold . WOW what a talent then and now ..it was a wonderful surprise to see you were reacting to her music .love it
I personally prefer her 2006 version from the live concert released on dvd. "The essential live songbook" it was called, it was a performance at the rialto in Joliet, Illinois. But this is my 2nd favorite jewel song ever. she's just immaculate.
Oh my. Check out When You Loved Me released just this week!
Thanks for this great reaction Adam. This was more than enough for me to want to check out more of her stuff. I've never heard about her before.
- I just saw K.Carr in the comments speaking of her in past tense, so I'm worried she is dead. That would be terrible. Have to check some things right now. Take care and see you soon. Love from Norway :-)
Very much not dead :-)
she's amazing...go listen to her early stuff
“I don’t know if there’s more.”
Who is gonna tell him she can yodel amazingly? 😂😂😂😂
You should do a reaction to her Woodstock performance of who will save your soul, its absolutely astounding
Such a magnificent range
Jewell is amazing & she has always said the most important part of performing is telling the story. Her voice is amazing. She grew up & had very hard times & was living in her car for a long time.
So glad you found Jewel. She is another earth spirit like Aurora. Amazing singer song writer. I pick my two life philosophies from her song lyrics ‘in the end only kindness matters’ (from Hands … beautiful song) and ‘no longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from’ (Life Uncommon … also a tremendous song !).
I have been listening to this song since I was 12..27 yrs. It's so beautiful and it was so sweet to hear you discover it. Jewel is incredibly gifted! Listen to the song Painters. It's on the same album.
You must watch the original video to hear her voice in the original. I was one of the first to have her CDs of this album at 95 before it was actually being sold. Given to me by my cousin who is in school with her at Interlochen school music. Born and raised in Alaska her yodeling is incredible. This song became my lifeline immediately, as I learn the piano riff right away. Even playing it just a few weeks ago from memory. Who Will save your soul is another great great song and video. Never heard this version and I love it strip down but nothing like the original.❤
I used to have her albums but somehow lost them. And she drifted off from memory over several decades. Thanks for bringing her back.
She’s a beautiful soul. I love singing her songs!
Oh damn. I would LOVE to hear the 9 minute version
Throwing this subscription at you! You look like a wonderful man ANNNNNNNND you reacted to freaking Jewel!
Thank you!
I love this one but You Were Meant For Me is my favorite 💔💔💔😭
Thank You for your great reaction to the Awesome Jewel!!! She's my favorite artist from the late 90's to today!! Definitely check out more of her live performances (please, do reactions too)- you won't be sorry, But you Will be hooked☺️.
Jewel is my all time favorite and I loved seeing your reaction to this performance of Foolish Games as it is my favorite rendition.
Here is a great full live show from Jewel and it has a lot of wonderful stories: th-cam.com/video/gncv3yEKVVc/w-d-xo.html
Here are a few other great songs that aren't a part of the above set:
Absence of Fear: th-cam.com/video/PPrEP8Wwrwo/w-d-xo.html
The Shape of You: th-cam.com/video/QP2Fsfkm0GQ/w-d-xo.html
Love Used To Be: th-cam.com/video/13MqIIJhayM/w-d-xo.html
Love Used To Be is what Jewel claims to be the song that best represents who she is as a songwriter. The Shape of You has some storytelling in the beginning.
Woodstock version

2007 ACOUSTIC VERSION
th-cam.com/video/uC7hi-vQPN4/w-d-xo.html
Pls make a reaction video on Jewel's "Life Uncommon" (woodstock 99 version) and 2007 Acoustic Version
What a JEWEL this Woman Is!!!❤❤❤❤ a voice that is so unique and this song is Amazing!
Sorry Taylor but there is no comparisson.
Did not know this artist so thank you that you keep reacting to the lesser known ones altough it will not give you the views it will get you the respect.
Gonna look up more from her now. Curious how the music will be when it is in album versions
Goosebumps
John Moreland: You don't care enough for me to cry
The album version is more pop, with piano and other instruments. The album of this song is one of the best-selling debut albums of all time, going 12-times platinum. She was discovered by record label when she was homeless. Check out her very interesting life story on joe rogan podcast (episode 1724 Jewel) on spotify open.spotify.com/episode/2TRBNGScfO2K3RWRIYJedJ?si=WTCVWDawQGKCI1LvXEiW3w&
Beautiful voice
For me, her best performance on this song was at the 1997 Movie Awards. Renee Zellweger performed it.
th-cam.com/video/Dy8zmT4z2tc/w-d-xo.html
I’m a little late but her performance of her song Adrian from this same concert is really good it hits you in the feels. She’s a great storyteller love her. I love your reactions 💛
If you liked this I really suspect you'd love the song Hands by her as well. It is very evocative.
She is American but comes from Alaska. How could a small town girl from Alaska make it in the music world? The answer is simple: pure unabridged talent.
You do realize Alaska is part of America just not connected to it
Home girl raised in Homer, Alaska. I knew of her, but not personally. Been following Aurora for almost 2 years. Love her too. Northern girlz kick ass!
Jewel is the daughter of Atz Kiltcher from Alaska the Last Frontier.
Hello from Australia, if you love jewel, you will love John Farnham, he is an Aussie legend.
He has the best voice, range and tone of any male singer.
If you want to check him out, I suggest John Farnham and the Melbourne symphony orchestra singing....
- help (Beatles cover)
- your the voice
- it's a long way to the top ( ACDC cover)
- playing to win.
I think you will love these and it gives you a variety of music to show off his voice.
I really hope you give it a go.
👍👍👍❤️🇦🇺
Hello! So I know You’re the Voice, it’s an anthem. But I’ll have to check out the others!
Morning song.. it's a song that reminds of the things you want to do with your love one in the mornings, such a Romantic but not too much, that anyone can relate on the mornings..
Great video and opinions about jewel, and Of course AURORA 🥰 in your other videos, keep them coming!
Hi Adam, Happy Christmas, you really need to hear some of her older songs. Love Jewel. ❤🙏❄☃️🎄
The song he reacted to is from her first album
She’s also a yodeler
Shazam!!!!
Seriously, you can't considerr yourself as a music lover if you haven't listen to Jewel.
I'm surprised that Jewel is still unknown to others when in fact she's been doing real music since mid-90's.
I'm from the Philippines, Thank God I know Jewel, and the REAL Talent she has.
I can’t wait to explore more!
@@AdamStraughan We would love to see your take with these performances:

JEWEL - Bird Set Free
The Maskes Singer 2021
th-cam.com/video/2by7d8oS6S0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your reaction!. Jewels was on “The mask singer” she was AMAZING, I love her ❤️❤️❤️. Here is a link to her performances - th-cam.com/video/pzKojOFij24/w-d-xo.html
Hey thanks for this. I had no idea she was on that show. I freaking love Jewel and love that she never sold out!
This is my fave song by her. So amazing! You should definitely do the music video❤️ Other awesome songs are Life uncommon and also Hands. Intuition also a catchy song but way more pop 👌
"I hope this delivers."
Literally seconds later
One of my favorite songs in the whole world, but this rendition sounds like a different song, I'm not a fan of this performance, I prefer the album version. Not the best choice to introduce someone to Jewel or this song. But I'm glad you're reacting to her! She's in my Top 3 artists of all times. I love her. Try her song "Perfectly Clear"
Never really heard much of her music, i remember she was quite hyped a while but gone under the radar recent years. Im expecting a increase in interest now she been on The Masked Singer and maybe its time for me as well checking out more
Jewel is a vocal acrobat.
This is awesome. I never heard this version. Big fan! 💖💖
I am sorry I was not around for a while.lemons and not enough lemonade .Had to deal with stuff.
Agree and your reaction on point!
Big fan, but Jewel did make that song and others very poppy. Not that it is all bad but....still love her.
That is my favorite. Check her out play the other version. You will melt. I wish you well.💖💖💞💞🇨🇦
I will and want to stay more in touch. You are wonderful. The best. You deserve it.💐🌷🌲💞thanks. Got some.catching up to do
this was an extreme performance.. to be fair this is not how the song usually sounds. she is expecting here that everyone listening has heard the song before so she's changing it up. Do yourself a favor and listen to it from the official release video too.
I love Foolish Game, but personally dont like this rendition of it. I much rather prefer her studio version that was a monsterhit around the world. It was the third single from the movie Batman & Robin.
Yeah, I agree. I prefer the original, much better version IMO.
Nah this rendition is sooo good. Her voice brought me to tears
i love metal and her voice is awesome
bands i listen too are
Slayer
Megadeth
AC/DC
Dio
and her Jewel
A lot of classic metal bands there!
Same, die hard metal fan here as well. Think woman is fucking amazing, gorgeous, and so pure. Best singer songwriter ever.
React to another great song of Jewel singing with Garth Brooks, "Someday Soon"
This is not related to Jewel in any way, BUT... You MUST go check out a cover of O Holy Night that I just found. Honestly, it hit me in the feels and took my breath away. Check out the cover from Tommee Profitt (feat. Tauren Wells & SVRCINA). It’s absolutely breathtaking.
Love Jewel! She is timeless, and one other that I know will blow you away if you have not heard them is Evanescence - My Immortal th-cam.com/video/5anLPw0Efmo/w-d-xo.html. Another singer I love that you may enjoy, goes by Daughtry, his cover of Wicked Game is excellent. Daughtry Performs Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game' Live th-cam.com/video/7V9YdG91Qag/w-d-xo.html
Hey thanks! She was great! And I know Evanescence and Daughtry very well, I have them on rotate often haha My Immortal and No Surprise are favourites of mine
@@AdamStraughan LOL, my search to find artists that may be new to you continues. Meanwhile, I continue discovering great talent, that's new to me, while watching your reactions. Happy holidays Adam.
thx adam! that was a great reaction ! love jewel - just had to send u this just cuz we love great music! our whitney at her best - sorry nothing to do with jewel but didnt know how else to get to get this to u ! - hope u enjioy - our whitney ! - take care of u and urs ! - th-cam.com/video/NvRpESH_t-E/w-d-xo.html -
You should listen/react to String Sessions with Lindsey Stirling ft Amy Lee ‘Wasted on You’ it’s an amazing collaboration with 2 incredible women.
Your channel is awesome, Adam. Good music. I suscribe. Please react to Monica Naranjo - Europa (Live). She's amazing, one of the best voices in the world. An incredible singer. Greetings from Spain. Link 😜👇
th-cam.com/video/VaVvPor4l3o/w-d-xo.html
Such a shame to see someone react to this and not the superior album version
I’m going to come to it, a lot of people have asked for it!
I would suggest to invest in some quality neutral studio quality headphones before you start making videos like this. Slamming air buds into your skull and then acting like you get it makes you look a bit meh.
Jewel is incredible though, been a massive fan since 1994.
Slamming AirPods into my skull and then acting like I get it? What does that even mean?
The original video is better l..you owe it to yourself to watch it …JS
I love Jewel . I have all of her albums. But this version is terrible. Sounds nothing like the original so I don't know who's bright idea it was to give this to Adam. By the sounds of it , it was a few of them. Should hear the album versions of songs first THEN listen to live versions and compare them. Are these artists better live than pre recorded? That is what people listening for the first time should begin their artist journeys with. This song just isn't Foolish Games.
It’s different than the radio version but not worse. It’s her song and closer to the original idea. Not as “pop” but not worse- more interesting.
It's the other way around, albums are made simple for the larger audience. That's where starting artists start. Developing is only possible when you step away from the brainless large audience that has to be reached through albums.
this is one of the worst versions Ive heard. Its like watching phoebe in the coffeeshop. This song is so much better than to be sung like that
Wow
Oh my. Check out When You Loved Me released just this week!
