First time hearing Jewel "Foolish Games" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@JerisEve]

Wonderful song by a wonderful singer. People today seem to want to hear a lot of vocal gymnastics. Jewel can do them, but her voice is so beautiful and well-controlled that she doesn't need to do that to be extraordinary. I basically love everything she's ever done. I'm so glad you appreciate her.

[@marthaz]

You would love, "you were meant for me" - she has the purest vocals, voice of an angel. 👍💕

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

And “who will save your soul” for sure!

[@roscoe_p_coltrane]

Kermit the frog. (Her words) And I love it.

[@peridotdiamondruby]

Her voice can give you chills 🎶

[@indynation6317]

Jewel can yodel. You can sometimes hear it a little in some of her songs. But there is a video where she actually does yodel.

[@tjhunger8644]

I absolutely adore Jewel the way she uses her singing voice is Sublime

[@ME143-c1d]

Her Sister is fantastic in Yellowstone.

[@dw7244]

Jewel wrote a book of poetry that is ethereal.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love her “You Were Meant For Me”!! I have the album CD.

[@skilz8098]

I completely agree, the entire album by her is great. I use to have her CD years ago, wish I still had it. Maybe I'll look for it on an LP record album...

[@oxxification]

Soon, they will see.

[@laurakali6522]

Her debut was killer. I worked at a theatre when she first toured with this. Show sold out in an hour.

[@TheOneAndOnlySpookySteve]

There are actually two recorded versions of this song (excluding live and alternate takes, etc.) This version was the single version, which became popular on the radio. The other version was on her debut album. There are subtle differences between them. I absolutely love Jewel’s music.

[@jenniferblake3296]

I love the album version. You can hear a lot more emotion in it plus the orchestra music.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Her voice is what set the industry on fire back then. So unique and chilling. Unfortunately she couldn't match her vocals with enough hit songs to really set herself apart. But she was magic in her heyday.

[@RJbeachbumallday]

"Who will save your soul?" is fantastic.

[@dang2226]

One of the most Beautiful voices and song ever heard!❤ It gives you goosebumps!!!

[@skilz8098]

I love to hear an angelic voice, so unique and so beautiful. She was definitely a Godsend with an amazing talent.

[@firefighterchick]

The live extended version gives even more proof her voice is amazing.

[@joanlajara3939]

Such feeling! Love her! It comes from her soul! She lived so much in her young life!! Great stuff Jewel

[@candilumpkin1196]

Oh yeah. I love jewel. She was my girl back in the day.she won masked singer recently. The gurl can still sang. I knew it was her immediately. Her voice is so distinctive, you know who it is the second she starts to sing.

[@pkdude5334]

I love this song. one of my favorites.

[@ChrisTopher-ek6rr]

Best singer ever. Her voice is so beautiful. She sounds even better live imo.

[@heartheart5543]

Agree. Her live performance is much better than studio version

[@williammunson5832]

She has the voice of an Angel! Love to hear her sing.

[@bicknell67]

Her song "Hands" is amazing you guys would love it.

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

LOVE this beautiful yet sad song- “Who will save your soul” (you really hear those amazing vocal changes in it!) and “You were meant for me” are other greats of hers-💜💙

[@garyhughes2382]

BJ nailed it . Jewels use her voice like an instrument!

[@sonofthesea3298]

Well look what we have here,YT beat me to it by telling me "Oh so you saw Asia and BJ check out Jewel? Well guess what,you should watch this next!" Foolish Games is stunning,and her voice and style of singing is soo unique too. I have not heard anyone sing somewhat like her. You Were Meant For Me might be even better then Foolish Games for me,and then im not smacktalking this song at ALL,i very much love this song. Its just that way with Jewel,she has so many amazing songs,it gets difficult to choose one favourite before she hits you with a better one.

[@SIR-DanielHunter]

She has a unique voice. There was a singer in the 70s that had unique voice like her.. Maria Muldaur - Midnight At The Oasis

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

Gah, the use of the violin in this song… such a perfect addition. Appreciate you reacting to this.

[@RitaBowen1]

The thing about Jewel is she doesn't forget where she comes from. Watch Alaska the last frontier and you will see her family and where and how she grow up. She and her son visit often.

[@distractedwriter100]

Ah, a fellow Alaskan. We love our Jewel. 💕💕💕

[@sandrawehrley4212]

She loves someone who don’t quite love her back in the same capacity…and maybe she loved him as a muse but then as a partner…this song really pulls on the heart strings.

[@victormolina3601]

She did an Undercover gag at a karaoke bar. SHE KILLED IT and they thought it was this nerd lady singing. Look for it. It's funny!

[@maxwellshammer5283]

I love this song. A long time favorite of mine.

[@Tdub0911]

Jewel is so awesome I can't even describe how much she it to me. The music video with the added visuals make this song even better than just listening to the song.

[@daseguin]

Asia and BJ, you guys have GOT to do Sarah McLachlan LIVE.... specifically, Sarah McLachlan - Possession (After Glow Live) HD You'll be in awe of the song and performance.

[@vtbmpskier5400]

Got to do "you were meant for me" the song that put her on the map

[@cathyortiz1280]

You should hear some live versions of Jewel. She never does the same song the sane way. Play the live 1999 version of this - amazing!

[@Gashouse69]

Voice of an angel. I especially like her lower tones. So rich.

[@caliden3785]

I'm so glad anyone can appreciate this great singer. She's amazing.❤

[@davidcollver6155]

Saturday 21 January 2023. First time I watch your reaction for Jewel this song. I think you both hit the nail on the head. First time I've heard her voice compared to an instrument. That is 100 and 10% spot-on perfect. I don't know if you have seen Jewel go undercover karaoke? But whenever I want to get really crank up with Jewel, I Google it. Jewel goes undercover karaoke. The people in the little clubhouse don't know it is her the people behind the show fix her up so she doesn't even look like herself. Must see!

[@keymack2477]

My favourite song from Jewel - love it and loved your reaction! Please consider adding "That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be" from Carly Simon live if you really want a musical treat!

[@deadlyredly1]

I'm pretty much a full on metal head lol, but this song is one of the greatest ever written

[@Roh_Echt]

*She's great. Have you seen her on Funny or Die? She gets made up and goes undercover as Karen and sings karaoke...in a karaoke bar.*

[@justmemadison]

She did an interview with Joe Rogan -- it was really good. Her life story is something.

[@troyottosen8722]

Alaskan pride! Jewel grew up in Homer Alaska!

[@pastorofmuppets22]

Ran into her in the late 80's in it was Berkeley I believe? She was a busker. There were a lot of little homeless hippie girls with their guitars, hustling the American dream for a little change in a cup for songs. She obviously wasn't the Jewel persona that everyone knows yet. There was a whole little group of people she was kinda hanging out with,and I might have said maybe 10 words to her? She seemed shy to talk to,but flipped a switch when she performed. I grew up in Pennsylvania, graduated school and wanted to check California out. And actually ran into a few famous people when I was there. Carnie Phillips in Receda, actually partied with Jennie Garth in a hotel room when the 90210 show was big. But the cops came and broke up the party. Lol. Went to the People's park at the foot of the Golden gate bridge, and there was a free music festival... early incarnations of Alice in chains and Nirvana were playing there,but this was 5 years before the grunge thing happened. In LA, I was driving up the sunset strip,and a drunken Tommy Lee fell off his platform boots and off the sidewalk right in front of my Chevelle,and I almost ran him over😂. I remember calling him a few derogatory things that called his sexuality into question,and he threw his beer bottle at my car,and fell down again,lol. I got a place right across the street from Cheech Marin's first wife Rikki. Next door on one side,Sharon Gless of the show Cagney and Lacey lived there,and on the other was a Raiderette,who was about 6'3" and blonde as a person could possibly be. It was a fun time and place to come of age. The glam rock scene was in full swing and grunge was in it's infancy stages. Berkeley where I met Jewel was like a time warp. Walking straight back into 1968 and the summer of love. Even the lawyers had ponytails and wore bell bottoms. You could see she had talent,but a lot of the buskers did. I would be lying if I said in that moment I knew she'd be famous in less than 2 years. People were walking by her singing cover songs on her acoustic...some threw change in her cup,some paid no nevermind. I remember kissing one of her girl friends after a slice of pizza, and not realizing the culture difference between Pennsylvania and California,she said something about my eating meat because of the pepperoni. I remember arguing against it being meat because nobody ever saw a pepperoni running around breathing 😂. That particular girl I'm speaking about,had a little guitar as well,and was every bit the performer Jewel was at the time. I remember asking for jamming a lick on her guitar as a guitar player myself,and played Led Zeppelin's The Rain song for them,and showing them the weird DGCGCD tuning Jimmy Page used for that song. As I was playing, someone walked up and threw a $50 in their cup,and they both looked at it,and then looked at me,and I told them to keep it. I wasn't homeless or needed money or anything. They thanked me and took off, I suspected to buy drugs or food or something,and I never saw them again. Like I said earlier, after that I went to LA,did the band thing there,played with some great musicians...was in a few popular bands long enough to have a cup of coffee...and was watching MTV one day and saw Jewel,and was like:no sh*t! Good for her! Most of the group of people she hung with are probably dead now. The times were wild,and they were all a little crazy. I hung around until the grunge thing was wrapping up, and moved back east to a normal life. Wouldn't trade any of it for the world. Occasionally I still run into some of the people from the bands I sat in with as a session player,or worked with as a member,and it's nice to catch up at the NAMM festival and such. It'd be nice to chat Jewel up just to see how she's doing?

You should check out "You Were Meant for Me" "Hands" and "Standing Still"

Jewel, the most all around beautiful woman in my opinion.

Wow, that changed the mood. lol. She did an interview with Joe Rogan some months back and it's worth listening to. She has a very interesting life story...she went through it.

[@mjmopperman]

Yes!! Excellent interview!

Jewel’s dad is a real life actual cowboy.

[@JDogg1971]

Great voice and song!!

[@lloyderc]

Her and dolly pardon song together I am my fathers daughter is one great song

[@TheNewRevolution]

Jewel was a problem. Especially being a rocker. I never wanted my friends to see me listen to her. She would bring on this allergic reaction where my eyes would just start watering. Being 100 % totally in love with her didn't help either.

[@michaelharmon7052]

Right there with you......

[@TheNilsenO]

Same here. 😅

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Jewel Kilcher . From the soundtrack to the movie 🎥 Batman and Robin. The music video 📹 does not have any film clips. 😥 The Internet was not advanced enough back then so a music video can have film clips quickly at a low cost. 😥 Great song 🎵 👌 Suggested next song: Standing Still🧍‍♂️

[@4nciite]

She was homeless and living in her car for a time before she made it big.

[@Toryumon4Ever]

You should really listen to the later live versions of this song, an older, more mature Jewel with full controls her vocals and makes this song far more powerful.

[@Meltog]

Toni Braxton “Unbreak My Heart” Christina Aguilera “Beautiful”

did you know that show Alaska last frontier is her family. check out the show.

[@davidbessey6518]

Watch Jewel Karaoke-she goes undercover- really fun watch

[@BaldotheDon]

There's this one video of Jewel doing this song live. I'm glad you didn't choose that one 'cause then instead of sitting here, hitching breaths and near tears, I'd be a sobbing fucking mess on the floor, and useless for the rest of the afternoon. I have a theory about Jewel and Amy Lee and Shuhada' Sadaqat (Sinéad O'Connor), and that heart-wrenching tone Asia was talking about. I describe it as 'brassy' because 'muppetty' is not respectful. It's not respectful, but it _is_ the tone. That Kermit the Frog impression is how you start going for it, and with expertly mastered moderation and practice, what you get to is a flexing of the throat musculature just behind the tongue but just above the larynx that opens that space a bit, and lends a resonance to the voice that, when done correctly, trumpets out like _defiance,_ and when less expertly handled, is kind of Shakira, later Danzig, or Kermit the Frog. I'm about 40% certain I've got this wrong, but if this mental exercise _(these foolish games)_ can hold off the tears long enough for the emotions to settle, I might be okay for a minute.

[@brandonsimmons1695]

Lots of teenage dudes cried and punched their pillow to this song, or so I’ve heard….

[@edchaput3577]

Jewel has a beautiful song called "Painters" you guys should check it out

[@davidphillips4476]

just captivating, captivating voice.

[@Maggimae2367]

I can see the Amy Lee thing. Never thought about it before

[@skilz8098]

Asia's comment: "For a moment she reminds me of Amy Lee". I can see that, yet it might of been Jewel that inspired Amy...

[@that-avr-drummer]

I much prefer the original version from when the album was first released. After the album became successful they went in and added a bunch of orchestration and percussion which in my opinion takes away from the simple beauty of the song. Love Jewel.

[@tinamarie6871]

Yes! Finally❤️
