Who the heck does Jewel think she is? She begins her career playing up the folksy/hippie angle, which earned her a handful of Top 10 singles and critical acclaim, and then for her fifth CD she goes and tries to market herself as some sort of sex kitten. Why? Because Mooooom, everybody else is doing it! Her influences at the time were clearly the popsters with canned beats and phony vocals (see Britney and Christina). After dropping out of the biz for a few years she came back in 2006 sounding more like herself, but for some reason (I wonder why?) she no longer had any credibility. Nobody bought it, and nobody bought her CD.
Now here it is a few years later, which means it's time for yet another Jewel career facelift. The direction she has decided to pursue is (surprise, surprise) the suddenly-popular country field. Annnnd her first single just happens to feature the themes of being a strong woman and staying true to yourself. Right, just like you obviously are, Miss Identity Crisis. Even better is the fact that Jessica Simpson is reportedly not far behind with that country disc. Ugggggg...
With that said, I'll probably end up thinking her CD is amazing and regretting this whole rant.
