I can't wait for you to come back to the West Coast. Humphrey's or where ever. One of the great experiences is hearing and seeing you live. Hope everyone is well.
So glad I discovered what a great singer Joan Osborne truely is,hands down my favourite Youtube discovery this year........I mean of course I knew "one of us" but if only I'd discovered she is so much better than that song ever was.
This woman has all the soul anyone could want. This is her take on this tune.
Let's not always compare artists. It takes something away from the star, which is really the song we are supposed to be listening to. I LOVE Gladys Knight and Joan Osborne's talent.
One of the best, BEST voices and styles in music today. She crosses genres with ease and is the kind of sexy women like me aspire to. It's so obvious that she's comfortable in her skin and willing to take chances and share her gift with the world. I'm SO glad she does what she does- thanks, Joan!
she made it her own while still remaining true to the original. not an easy thing to do when talking about gladys knight. i think she did a great job with this one.
Joan is awesome. This is a great song and interesting video. Thanks Joan for coming to the Detroit Jazz Festival two years ago. You were awesome, one of the best weekends of music ever!
who can blame her for paying homage to to one of the greatest of soul singers Gladys Night. being a white artist is getting more difficult all the time and to her credit joan gets this as did janis joplin before her. music expresses our longing for justice or it is forgotten.
But isn't it nice when a singer can SING! You remember..singing. It's because for 20 plus years or so, none of us has HEARD a real human voice. Bless Joan.
If this sounds like elevator music, it's because it's not the final album track. Still lots of production to add (back up vocal for example). Listen to the version on Breakfast in Bed. It's the best cover of this tune I've heard.
the music sounds like elevator music too soft and safe for her voice. too bad because with the right producers and musicians she could put out some classics
Once again I'm in awh!!!The Lady is most impressive because she sings in her own style not so much to copy someelse.With an angels voice thats been touched a tad by Joplin.
I love her too. I just wish she would do some more of her original stuff. She's an amazing song interpreter, but I think she's an underrated songwriter. Pensacola is one of my favorite songs from any artist.
I think the interpretation is excellent, the reason why the background singers track was not included mostprobably was because the studio wanted us specificaly to focus on Joan and her great talant. I would have liked to hear her on either om an M49 or a U47! but, its great on a U87!
Sorry again, one sight said the U67 was a condenser mike cartiode with 2 switches to turn it to an omni, another sight said it is a tube mic, wich is selling (used) for $7,1oo.
I am Joan's cousin and I had no iDEA she had so many videos....it's good to see her other than at Christmas. I have most of her songs and will never tire from listening to them
Very cool. If she were in my family, we'd just keep her singing for the family all the time. Enjoy the upcoming holidays, and best wishes to all of you.
i couldn't have said it better myself. i have everything she's put out as well, and i worship it all. every single one of her songs are sung with such passion. even the simple ones. she can do no wrong.
Joan Osborne: a national treasure. Imagine a white chick how can belt it out with the best of Motown (the Funk Brothers), and who can jam tit-for-tat with the survivors of the Grateful Dead (Phil and Friends)...her original material deserves to be reckoned with, as well.
Where's JACK! Bring out Jack! I saw Joan 3 times at the Metro in Saratoga, NY... before she did "one of us"... some of the best live stuff I've ever seen!
Joan,

@JohnFO5
her voice is weak
totally un-original
a personality in her voice and interviews that are about as interesting as a water puddle
And she sounds like someone is shoving a lap down her throat... Shade included.
She is totally capitalizing off people who so not know good music if it showed up in their shower with lips on it.
