janis is the best and i love big bro. and how they tried to move one...but its just not the same without janis and no matter what they do or who they get to sing for them it will never be the same again...janis's voice and personality made the show
Big Brother & The Holding Company couldn't have found a better front woman that Sophia Ramos. No need for Sophia to fill Janice Joplin's own..inimitable boots..she wore her very own and kicked it! Bravo!
We just saw BB&HC with Sophia and she was so much better than this vid. I expected not to like her, I'm a fan of Janis, but was pleasantly surprised. The band is still tight and she held her own.
Down on Me got everyone dancing and she really responded.
Not an expert on Janis but Sophie doesn't have all of the grit and edge of Janis, but check out some of Sophia's other stuff on here. She's puts on an real exciting show. Keep in mind Janis' shoes are big ones to fill. She knew this particular audience wanted Janis back.

When she talks in between lyric lines....that was Janis's style. When she shouts "HONEY YOU KNOW I DID" Thats' Janis. And she has all of Janis's ad libs. It's obvious she has learnt the songs by copying Janis rather than arranging her own vocals. Feels wrong.
go sam andrews go!...wow, he's really got something going there on guitar -- very comparable to what hames gurley was doing in the 60s (i.e. rough and tumble, beauty and passion)..and the girl is fantastic (do they still have her?) -- i looove the fact that shes not doing a janis imitation, she's an individual and a wonderful singer..i hope big brother write new songs and keep going forward, 'cause it's so hard to do that when u feel obligated to pander to fans who just won't let gom of the past
These guys were so much more interesting to watch when they were doing acid. This just sounds way too rehearsed and polished, and though the singer has a good voice, she's too smiley and has none of the stage presence Janis had.
I saw Sophia play Janis in Phoenix and she was awesome! It is true that no one can take the place of Janis as she was truly amazing but I don't think that is Sophia's intention at all. She is a force to be reckoned in her own right!! Check out her music if you don't believe me.
I respectfully adamantly disagree. Impossible to have anyone sing Janis songs better than Janis herself. While this lady is talented,she's no Janis. I am certain on other songs, her true voice comes through. Sadly, when any artist covers Janis, they are always compared to her, and then, it's never as wonderful as the Pearl. Peace.
Sounds great, but where is James? The singer is good, no doubt, of course people would compare whoever to Janis but no one could top Janis at this style. Gotta keep it real! Love, love, love...
Always loved BB. Never got the credit they deserved for being Janis' best backing band. Nice effort here, but miss that deep, profound anguish that always came from JJ. Sam Andrew was a damned good guitar player. Classically trained, and all that. Thanks for posting this.
I'm thrilled to see BBHC playing together again, and think they sould great after all these years. Have seen clips of them with other singers, but this one is the best.
This is great ! Is that Miss Molly ? Great to see anyone from Big Brother playing again . And Yes this Chick and sing ,is this what I missed in Houston? Wait till I show Lanier Grieg this one . This is GREAT ! Yes Yes Yes , picked the right one !
She rocked with The Screaming Headless Torsos!! Rock On Sophia!!!

Que legal ver esses caras tocando até hoje.
Janis, é claro, é insubstituível. Ela é muito mais do que uma voz, ela é um ícone.

I saw Sophia do "Janis" on the stage in Tucson. Her performance was mind boggling. She sang Joplin's songs better than Joplin sang them herself.
