BLASPHEMY! BLASPHEMY! BLASPHEMY! HOW DARE SHE REMAKE THIS MASTERPIECE INTO A F****** NASTY ASS COUNTRY SONG. THIS HICK B**** RUINED MY FAVORITE SONG! BLASPHEMY! BLASPHEMY!
It's a Ragovoy-Berns song recorded by Erma Franklin released in '67!
Janis covered it in '68 on the Cheap Thrills album.
Janis probably would have not liked this version but would not be "turning in her grave" since she was cremated and her ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean.
she destroyed this song...it makes my ears bleed....the WORST cover EVER and that's saying a lot...I wished for her to get hit by a bus full of rednecks after she released this....so shameful...she should run away and never show her face again.
Please, don´t listen it, Janis. Makes me wonder, who are gonna play Janis in the new movie.. Zoey Deschanel? I don´t know.. Pink is maybe much better.. What do you think?
so a gun man killed Lincoln, Kennedy and Lennon but no one can stand up and dieservingly shoot her for trying to sing this song... we always kill the wrong ppl
"The song in general is such crap"????? You, sir or madam, are a brachycephalic, drooling, retarded cretinoid waste of perfectly good protoplasm. Do I make myself clear? Idiot.
Watch Melissa Etheridge's version of this song on youtube. Make sure you're sitting down when you watch it, because you might pass out and hurt yourself. It's unbelievable. It's at:
Really unfair to judge Hill's ability to to this song justice by this short shitty clip is is not? No offense towards bearzdotes intended. Just commenting on the youtube music critics assessments.
it's a horrible attempt. some songs are like old buildings and should be protected by World Heritage, so they can not be touched by amateurs...if you can't sing don't sing!
this is DEFINITELY not the song for her, but i give her props for taking it on, and it wasn't as horrible as you're all saying. but i kinda hope she stays away from janis' music. not for her.
@millymungo Thanks for the correction. Always glad to know about true origins.
I still find that current artists are way too posy for any credible form of delivery on such a song. Buisness is killing the soul of music; they're killing what made music stand out from the "buisness as usual" principle. With excessive image and palatable product concerns, they are sweeping music back into the idea of a profit industry; excessively pre studdied formats; musical approach, wardrobe & pose.
Ugh...IT'S HORRID!!! NOOOO! How can she violate the song in this way?? This is just morally, musically and ethically WRONG on on levels of possible wrongness! Someone please slap FH. I had to pause it just to write my comment, I could not even listen it was so bad!
today it's about beauty. you can look hot, and you can sing average and you are a star. Janis was the hottest female vocalist ever. No one will compare to her intensity or emotion. Blindfold yourself and listen to janis and and anyone that tries to sing like her. In the 60s and 70s beauty was not on the surface. most of the hot singers are not babes.
At one point of time Janis Joplin did exist and she lived and she performed music her way. So yeah, Janis Joplin (in my opinion) sings this song with more edge and soul.
lol.. u funny. don't forget to send up those fruits and veggies you southern freak. Make mine a double waiter.
btw, it's not paint chips per se that affected people. It was the lead that was used to enhance colors in paint produced decades ago that caused the harm. So... its wasn't even a good attempt at a cut. Don't worry, I don't think any less of you southerner.
"OlymPigs2010 (2 months ago) Worse than ruining Jani's song Faith is still married to that total egotistical asshole,Tim McPiece-of -Shit!!! They probably deserve each other!!!"
If you knew a damn thing about this song, which you obviously don't, you would know that Joplin was the THIRD person to record this song. First was Emma Franklin, then Dusty Springfield, THEN Joplin. And of the three, Joplin's version was the worst by far, nothing but screaming. It wasn't blues, it was incoherent shit
Ppl who doesent know that this is not the original song, should thb bo banned from listening to it. How can u not know that this is Janis Joplins classic?
Honey, This isn't Faith Hill's song. Janice Joplin wrote this in the 60's...It's one of the best songs of the 60's and Faith Hill ruined it. If I was Janice I would haunt Faith Hill in her sleep for butchering such an amazing song that can't be replicated.
That doesn't sound right but, I wouldn't know I'm not friends with Janice or Aretha's sister. I'll be sure to ask if i see either one of them on the street...
FYI, Erma Franklin first recorded this song. Janis did the cover. Janis covered many wonderful blues artists from the early days. "Tell Mama" was originally Etta James' song. "Ball and Chain" belonged to Big Mama Thornton, who incidently was the first to record "Hound Dog" before Elvis. "Piece of My Heart" has been recorded & covered by everyone from Mary J. Blige to Melissa Etheridge and no one does it like Janis. I like Faith Hill, but she isn't gritty enough to do the song justice. Peace.
This sux. Faith Hill needs pitch correction when she records and in concert she sounds horrible, my dog sounds better than this. Also, Joplin is rolling in her grave because of this crap.
diooooooss!!es muy mala esta version. Peor no lo puede hacer la pobre. Es como coger a Janis Joplin vestirla con un vestido de lentejuelas rosa, no pega para nada.
I think that she doesnt want to do her version in concert..cause she really doesnt sound like that anymore...a lot better by the way...so she does this version
I am always so saddened to hear a good peformer re-do a song and do it badly. Where's the heart and soul here? Not feeling this one in the least.
