    Bonnie Raitt would be awesome for #FemaleFriday - she is a bad ass Blues guitar player, and awesome singer. I can’t make you love me and Let’s give them something to talk about are my first suggestions. Have a great weekend and THANK YOU for all you do.

    I can't remember when Melissa finally got big enough to be safe in coming out as a lesbian, but it made such a difference in hearing all her previous songs of love and longing that were originally interpreted as if she was straight, and then all the ones moving forward, like this one. One of the best female voices in rock history. Definitely check out some of the other hits. I doubt anyone else has suggested that you listen to Nicole Atkins and her song 'The Way It Is', but she would blow you away. One of the most soaring and powerful choruses I know of, and gives me chills every time I hear it.

    • @scottmiller8845

    So, for one lady you may not have ever heard of and has that smokey rock flavor to her voice. Alannah Myles is another amazing Female Artist i think you need to check out. Notably her most famous song is "Black Velvet" which was written about Elvis Presley went Top 10 in Canada and a #1 Single for her in the US earning her both a Grammy and a Juno in 1989. Other hits included "Lover of mine" and" Still Got this thing" she is definatly worth checking out. Trust the DJ.... I wouldn't steer you wrong! lol

    Amber will be happy to hear that Melissa Etheridge has covered some of Janis Joplin's songs, and she actually inducted Janis Joplin into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. At the 2005 Grammy Awards show, Melissa Etheridge did a Janis Joplin tribute that was amazing. She was in chemotherapy at the time and showed tremendous grit appearing in public to perform that tribute. You can find videos of the tribute performance on TH-cam. Another great Melissa Etheridge song is "Come to My Window".

      She'd actually just come from a chemotherapy session right before that performance, and she said it took every bit of energy she had to hit that crazy note toward the end of the song...but she did it, and the whole performance was incredible! She went straight home after and right to bed...but that performance is iconic, and it blows me away every time I hear it. What I find even more impressive, is the way she handled her son's death last summer (2020). She'd been doing regular performances from home during quarantine, and she didn't stop. She said it's music that has always gotten her through the toughest times, so why would she stop? At the time, I'd just come home from the hospital after having a double bypass (heart surgery), and it was an emotional time for me...but watching her videos after she'd just lost her son gave me strength. She's always an inspiration.

    Melissa is really well known and great for her raspy rock voice. “Like the way I do” & “Bring me some water” from her debut album are other examples. But she can also do different, “You can sleep while I drive” is a beautiful ballad and “I need to wake up” is her contribution for Al Gores environmental documentary “An inconvenient truth”

    "Closer to Fine", "Shame on You", "Get Out the Map" (Y'all love banjos and there's plenty on this song), are all great. They also do an amazing cover of Neil Young's "Down By the River" and Gladys Knight's "Midnight Train to Georgia".

    Another. Great. Reaction.
    This is Melissa Etheridge at her zenith. This was early ‘90’s.
    She reminds me of a more healthy, forthright Janis. Had she lived, she would likely have transitioned to sounds like this. Melissa was obviously heavily influenced by Janis and has spoken of her eloquently.
    You should also react to her acoustic rendition of “Piece of My Heart,” which she performed live while inducting JJ into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 - very brave and incredible performance.
    Also her own tune “Come to My Window” is well worth your reaction. In some ways even stronger than this one.

    During the start of the pandemic lockdown she did daily (free) online concerts and said she was going to continue until lockdown ended no matter how many days, weeks, or months that took. She held true to her word until sadly her son unexpectedly passed away. She loves her fan base and I'm so happy my husband introduced me to her music.

    I have been her fan ever since I first heard the first line of this song. Melissa is one of the most incredible female artists out there. I've been requesting and am so glad you are impressed... do more, they are all great!

    I found Melissa Ethridge in my senior year of high school ('90-'91). I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her music!! One of my favorite female artists. Her first album is still my favorite, but I love all her music!
