Jewel "Foolish Games" (1998)

[MrKoladge]

I just simply love Jewel. She shows so much emotion during her performance it just gives me goosebumps. The best to you always Jewel KOLADGE

[SFGal9]

Jewel is probably one of the last true artists to hit the waves. So much of the crap today is processed and uninspired. True artists open and share themselves and you get a glimpse of their heart and soul. What the entertaining execs want to pump into our brains nowadays are sewage and sludge, and there are endless lines of whores out there who will let the execs-slimeballs use them.

[LadyScorpio39]

the 80's and 80's were great music!

seems like the millenium brought in nothing but crap! sometimes when i listen to the junk on the radio these days i really believe this is end times!

[Tommy1977777]

When i get to heaven the only thing God can give me for eternal happiness is her hand in marriage. omg a woman that can sing ...im putty in her hands!

[xkidd092]

lmao the guy at the end got so fuckn excited

[xkidd092]

i always listened to this and fantasized about this song as a child.. now im 19 and im listening to it again while my heart aches. It aches because im now in her situation. weird how things work out.

[Support4MySingers]

She really acts in this too...wonder if she ever wanted to do movies!

[ThisIsCecile]

@Support4MySingers i just read a book about her and she has done a few movies and she likes acting she says :)

[Support4MySingers]

The things she can do with her voice in one song is...AMAZING...her voice is like an instrument, really!

[MrJcarlos650]

just stunning

[tattedbountyhunter]

This is the most heart wrenching song I have ever heard. I listen to it often to remind myself....

[GreenMonkey2011]

NO COMPUTER GENERATED AUTO-TUNE......this is for all you biber fans.....bibar, beeber, whatever.....there is NO true talent out there .......This is TALENT!!!!

[xkidd092]

@GreenMonkey2011 justing biber is actually very talented, hes just packaged into a dumb popstar to sell CDs to young girls

[GreenMonkey2011]

This woman has SO much talent. Truly a God given gift!! And SSSOOOOO beautiful!!!

[1nspirator]

Sounds like 2 persons are singing :D Awesome

[PoetryAddict8]

This is unreal

[t3885]

I love her voice

[joeljack1]

i remember this performance from the Rosie O'Donnell show and thinking she was so beautiful. and i was right, it still stands up today.

[TheRTovar100]

SUCK

[MATTisAkoala]

after watching and listening to such a beautiful person, i REALLY dont want to see "Up Next: Paris Hilton's Jewel Encrusted Punanay"

Thanks for ruining my vibe, Youtube.

[kieliobow]

Haha love the guy at the end "YEAHH!!!!!!!" Does he have Jewel fever or what?

[PoetryAddict8]

@kieliobow HAHA

[Vitaluv]

I will never be her and thank God because she is one of a kind. Love her, always will. She did not sell out. If anyone listened to her album with Intuition one would see that it was satire. Seriously. The fact that people don't get it, shows how brilliant she really is.

[acrmd]

Wow. It's a rare to hear a singer of Jewel's standard make an excruciating mistake, but there it is, in plain, embarrassing, daylight: she completely messed up the rhythm at 1:29-1:34, then attempts to cover by extending the following note.

[kieliobow]

@acrmd In most of the live performances of this song, Jewel changes tempo at random times to switch things up...improvising on the spot almost. She thus doesn't stay consistent with the breaks in the music at those times. May not sound pretty, even awkward at times, nevertheless it is intentional. I will agree however that I think this particular one even caught her off guard lol.

[boruff68]

I fell in love with her a long time ago! I dont think there is a "snobby" bone in her body.

[owenbutler5]

11 people preferred Miley Cyrus.

[juliajesse]

so much emotion.. love her!

[Manigran]

It's so beautiful. The song just makes me burn inside.

[solanoj80]

Talented and beautiful wow

[ilymr07]

Love it!!!

[code2high]

Jewel and Natalie Merchant.........Oh what voices they have!

[suemumd]

Lovely. Check out the cover version by Isabelle Jones.

[gsxrbuckeye]

Angelic voice with the looks of a rare never before seen "JEWEL"

[misshis1]

Beautiful!

I think a young dutch girl did a very good job with a totally different interpretation of this great song.

Search fot: Lotte Jewel 2 and listen!

[misshis1]

Beautiful!

I think a young Dutch girl did a very good job with a very different interpretation: search for: Lotte jewel 2, and listen!

[suzylnn]

"She is amazing, so down to earth and rare! Perfectly named Jewel!

[cliiff2]

WOW!

[505maciek]

Kasia Sochacka in : "I have a talent" Polish edition- she sang it better than the original-see

[HEBANOS]

@505maciek  you right much better than oryginal POLECAM !!!

[TheElliotmoose]

wow thats a had song to sing...every note on key :)

[bobos07]

Good ol' 90s when there was decent meaningful music and the artists dressed properly :)

[rks171]

@bobos07 ... LOL, ever hear of Britney Spears? I think I'd just say there are stand-out artists in every generation.

[bobos07]

@rks171 U think Britney's music was meaningful?? o_O

[rks171]

@bobos07 U said good 'ol 90's music was decent and meaningful and that the artists dressed properly. Britney Spears was a 90's 'artist'. I was just pointing out that they weren't all good artists. I meant for the LOL to indicate my sarcasm.

[KrystaMariah]

that was amazing.

[amttchapman]

I have a friend that can sing this song very well.. if you could please check her channel out that would be really cool. Tell her what you think please.. Her channel name is twirlification Just search for it in the search bar.. THANKS TONS!!

[Trashtastical]

Always loved Jewel...just came across this video now....much prettier voice, but, does anyone else see the "GaGa" in this performance? I wonder if she was an influence for the poptard!

[chrisfields123]

That's what music is supposed to do.

[pbrlimit]

If you listen carefully you will notice that this song and artist is another example of why the 90s ruled and pretty much everything since 2000 has been garbage.

[bcwilliams1]

She has forgot grass roots

[geeterman98]

that was a really good interview she did with howard stern,cant wait for the vid for that new song she sang on the show..about her and her husband fighting..

[AlligatorJack01]

V Nice song, but makes me so sad that I cant listen to it. :(

[phoneplayer678]

she is great

[ThisYoungLibertine]

WHITE POWER!!

[PaulLin0105]

What a song! what an artist! Jewel's debut album is a classic!

[Zansyuyut]

Nice song...!!

[winegoddess55]

Always reminds me of my x-husband, whom I will love my whole life.

[BuffyXenaMania]

[EljoshVincent]

Hermosa interpretacion musical

Bushido Stole her song

[williedb47]

Beautiful song. Jewel is very talented. Nadine

[valeninlove]

most unforgettable face ,she is very glorious

[Shadows921]

A wig? Maybe extensions? Maybe it's just the lighting? Idk, but can see what looks like her real hair color underneath platinum hair on top....

[axelrosecyrus]

kupal tong kantang to,pang brokenhearted

[alavoretadelamar]

1:33 :S

[killaproductz]

After all the years "jewel" still takes my soul to a complete state of content. And shes still a smoking hottie today! Timeless beauty...

[cormanmsu]

I enjoy your music quite a bit i love your voice, it gets me through many bike rides!

[jobber25v]

jewel is hosting raw tommrow

[rewirewi]

I was in love 10 years ago... nothings changed.

[Lasky06]

jewel is the best!!!! and she is still around

[jerjuant]

jewel is one of those very underrated singers. she has never gotten the credit she deserves. she is an amazing vocalist.

[yumyumsashimi]

I love Jewel she gives me so many good memories what happend to her?

[jax2024]

She grew up and no one gives a shit about old female vocalists. hurr durr

[drewsinvest]

@yumyumsashimi i think the music industry pushed her out. she was great... i can't imagine her being a slutty popstar today though, that would be awful. i think she had a good run... hopefully she'll keep it coming in her later years.

[MrNikniknik]

what a beautiful woman and what an amazing voice!

[canchofurz]

love this song n jewel...such beautiful!

[416paintitup]

[vinirayblues1]

Hey, Jewel. How are you. In 2010, you would like to come to Brazil? Can a date in your calendar? Talk to your agent. You will love the nature, the beaches and especially the people. We need your soul of an angel here. Kiss, you find the dressing room to give you a hug. Vinirayblues

[vedderclone]

[MikeMarino]

[MrPerfect77]

Great Song, where did she ever go to ?

[raymondreich]

@ one time,,this describe a relationship of mine.... and happy to say. I'm no longer there

[PinkFractal]

She misses some notes, but she does them beautifully!

[byrobyro]

Oh my! Beauty and talent is not divided evenly among us. She truly is rare and beautiful. A jewel.

[cliiff2]

@byrobyro shut up Mr. Philosopher

[cliiff2]

@byrobyro fkk you, uu dontknkow shit, sage.

[tripp2012]

she gives me chills... her words are so poetic and powerful.

I never listen to her...i remember i use to as a kid but now its like wow... she is amazing and she brings me where she was in that hard time in her life, its so beautiful, its art.

[crazy4mickie]

hmm.. someone said that this song and hometown glory by adele sounded similar i dont think so... hometown glory 10x better

but... 5/5 for jewel being hot ^^

[karenbeyond]

lovely performance.

[DeiDeiDannaUn]

is she indie?

[yafaprograms]

when i were stranger....

i liked your love words and your lovely voice....

jhoe love....

[sharonaiam]

Hey! RhondaSK: Your comment is NOT SPAM!! I am a huge Jewel fan and I also heard that new singer Brittany Kwasnik and she is Fantastic!! Anyway, I think Jewel is really great and super talented with an awesome voice!

[joeljack1]

my favorite performance of this song.

[ChuckReynolds1969]

Jewel needs my love.. lol

[catarinasilva8]

the best singer in the worls, for me i don´t know why she don´t have a good carrer, i don´t hear any artist with her voice potencial

[Naters389]

She does have a career! its about musuic to her and shes just happy she gets to make a living doing something she loves. She could careless about fame but is thankful <3

[Musicman510ee]

No one messed up in that first pre-chourus/chorus, she extended a note and condensed the rest to fit the measure.. but if you're not paying attention you can easily say something is wrong

[gyyy789]

thats so damn right !

an artist like her ... can do that ! :X

[AstroHotty]

Funny expression on 3:33.

[AstroHotty]

She looks absolutely stunning here. I swear she gets better with age.

[mwalshy08]

too bad her career hasnt

[leftyshredder]

burnn hahaha

[muchachaa950]

I adore this song... It's so sad but beautiful :-(

[HawgIncognito]

Vanessa Are you reading this?

[backlyt]

she is so beautiful here....

[shanski710]

she has such a beautiful voice

[hotwaiter]

wow she really holds that out. "....are TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEARING me apart...."  haha.

[AEA78]

Nope, the pianist does mess up. Anyway, no biggie. It happens...

[thejohank]

stubborn smartass

[AEA78]

It's funny how people misinterpret comments on here. I was just pointing out something that would hopefully generate a discussion. No malice was intended... but yes, I guess I am a stubborn smartass.

[keepitreal41976]

No you're not! You said no biggie, it happens right? The only people that would get upset over that comment are people who are perfect and never mess up....oh wait...that's noone!!! lol

[Cosmictalk]

She sweet but she uses this baby voice like two people are singing.

[DesAnne100]

Listen !! Her lyrics have such profound wisdom

If we could all just be so cautious of our wording before we speak ... Ohhhh, the pain that surfaces is very raw, which inturn affects the core of our being.

[oddhomieinred]

youre stupid.

>:[

[LeibisParra]

Por favor! Sea cual sea el error del señor del piano, no se puede poner en tela de juicio a JEWEL. A la postre seria un CLASICO!

[AEA78]

The pianist messes up from 1:29 until around 1:34. For some reason he adds an extra beat. Jewel, however, handles it like the professional she is and the result is a beautiful performance. Anyone else notice the mistake?

[gc200gc]

yeah thats weird!

[bobchilds]

The pianist didn't mess up. Jewel hesistated when she sang the words "foolish games." She's just improvising more here than she does on the record.

[gqnelly]

He adds another measure because he blew the chord...she waits for him to recover. I play this song with a female singer that is brilliant...and it sounds as though the piano player has a bit of a gaffe...they recover beautifully as pros do...and noone is the wiser.

[instantslilsis]

The pianist hasn't messed up at all here; he plays what is correct, and she extends her note because that's what she feels. She does it an awful lot on this recording; the second verse is a good example of this.

[luker78]

She looks absolutely amazing in this video!

[bigdaddyjim1975]

schizo or not she can sing well,and is " Hot" as hell!!!

[geeksqu4d]

shes so awesome!!!!

[smilefeverman]

She has exceptional control over the tone of her voice, I guess it's from all of that yodeling!!

[KANE8225]

I LOVED Her!!!, What The Hell Ever Happened!

[ilitchid]

She has new albums, Perfectly clear in 2008 and now in 2009 Lullaby i think it's its name.

[mOrEvELUSCiOUS]

I love Jewel...

I love her songs...

[shayner1k]

back off she's mine

[mandislone]

What a unique sound - LOVE HER!

[ddviolinist]

LOL.....she is schizo in her performances...I counted 13 different personalities.  Love it though.

[ghoulishpersistence]

Yes, you are right... Just that, I find it a tiny bit annoying... It is too much, and it gets a bit chaotic. She has a lovely voice, though.

[geeksqu4d]

wait...shes schizo? how can you tell?

[ddviolinist]

I didn't say she was schizo....jeez....reread what I wrote. LOL....you should be a journalist! This is exactly how rumors get started.

[geeksqu4d]

yea. i did...and you said she was schizo

[lilladysunday]

She puts emotion in her preformances.

[leftyshredder]

i think he meant she has the stage presence of a schizo..

[nwtampaguy34]

boing

[jakyramirez]

I really really like the voice of this girl..Am one of your fans..

[laylaboney]

I simply love her and this song. beautiful!

[hejidej]

She looks like a stupid cat at 2:41

But up to that point in this video she is the moste beautiful woman ive seen

[shellyFTbonnie]

lmao

[djmusic77]

xoxo  an angel

[eagleduderocker]

I cried...

[timen1986]

aaaaaaaaah, don't cry :)

[razorlinesnlovebites]

My god. I am like, in love with this woman. She puts so much emotion into her amazing talent. Sigh.

[atzluvshack]

I love jewel her music is great and has soom much meaning. Hey i was searching for a song by her about "adrianne" anyone know where to find it/

[kindacore]

Actually the song's name is "Adrian", you can find it into her first album, Pieces of You", track 8.

[cuepenage]

no you r wrong. Adrian is another song of her. I am sure.. Oh god, I was only 18 when I bought her CD.

[kindacore]

I was talking about atzluvshack comment, looking for a song called "Adrienne", not about this "Foollish Games" video.

[ttmor]

Ohh the pianist got a bit lost on the first transition to the chorus! Whoops!

[AdriennesVideos1980]

one of my fave songs by jewel. I will be doing a cover of this song soon. Cant wait! She sings this song live with such passion. i love it!

[USAneedsaChange]

she's really good :-O sounds almost exactly like in her video even though she sings live!

[adepsa]

It's a shame she overacts, the lyrics and the music are already perfect, they just need a catalyzator like an american rural girl, no grimaces needed.

[katzer1971]

Whew!!! Smokin' Hot!!! Serious guilt trip for ever being an asshole (see: most guys)

[sneighwena]

there is absolutely no other American singer that can ever look as beautiful as this woman

[Teeb2]

she is hooooooootttt

[trink968]

Wow,dont know why but Jewel looks even more gorgeous in this video than all the others i watch.
