  • I just got pretty wet.

  • Melissa just blew it out of the park!

  • do=two (below) sorry bout that

  • For those of you who posted negative things about joss, im assuming this is the ONLY time you've heared her music. dowload at least one or do of her songs and listen to her before judging, afterall, You'd probly love her

  • i would give ANYTHING to sing like melissa or janis. ANYTHING!

  • This has to go down as one of the best Grammy performances ever. Melissa was near exhaustion by the time she finished the song. That she came out at all when she was in the middle of treatment is just unbelievable, but a lucky for us fans. Melissa ruled! Joss - Not so much a fan. She just sounds screechy to me.

  • I agree. The crazy thing is when they had some special on tv for the top 20 or something Grammy performances, this actually DIDN'T make the list!!! Couldn't believe it.

  • I loved this, no one can ever do Janis properly. She's just way too freakin' awesome for that. But they did her justice. Joss has a kinda rawness to her voice and Melissa is just plain soulful. They're both awesome. Loved it heaps!!!

  • Melisa is incredible

  • Joss Stone is definately better than an american idol placer. Watch and listen to some of her own stuff

  • JOss Stone is not that great.. she sounds like an American Idol placer. Melissa blew everyone away!

  • that looked like so much fun!!! you can tell they both where having a blast. I loved the rock and roll scream Melissa does. this is a classic

  • wow...double wow

  • joss is trying to hard not working for me

  • You terminology shows ignorance, basically replying to African Americans as "niggers". Obviously you are still in middle school if you have even that much of an education. By the way you responded, I feel that you are prejudice an as a MINORITY you should know better.

  • no guyz! he's NOT predjudice...

    just

    IGONRANT!

    =]

  • I LOVE Melissa!

  • Does anyone know why Melissa is bald?? does she have cancer?? I hope not...

  • she did, but I think she's in remission.

  • She had been under cancer treatment at the time of this performance..I believe she's in full remission.

  • Buena performance, but janis is janis, la REINA...

  • Fantastic. Great artists. I love Melissa Etheridge andJoss Stone. Brilliant performance

  • Fucking A!! Joss Rocked. Pushed her voice to the upper limits - which in itself is a tribute to Janis! As for Melissa, step aside all you pretenders. She is a REAL rocker and a real survivor. I got shivers when I saw this live and I still get shivers watching it again!!

  • Melissa! FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!

  • I didn't grow up on Janis Joplin, no one in my family has listened to her music but I have learned about her. If it wasn't for this performace i may not have ever heard these two songs. I love Joss and Melissa's versions they rocked the house.

  • This is excellent performance!

    but...

    You should hear also the hungarian Janis Joplin! She is Magdi Rúzsa, she won the Hungarian Idol (Megasztár) 3! She and Joss is my favourite, but Magdi in Janis's song is better.

    Hear it Magdi!

    Her "Cry Baby" version is here in youtube. You must search in this way: "Hungarian Janis Joplin"!

    (I have Magdi's version in mp3, too!)

  • you was not kidding wow i cant believe how similar she sounds!THANKS A LOT!

  • Melissa rocks, what a tribute to Janice and the surviors of breast cancer.

  • it's very nice but no one can do janis' voice, the pain and passion of her voice is unbelievable

    but joss stone made it a nice version but i prefer janis' version :)

  • Of course neither one of them is Janis Joplin, so why even compare. They aren't supposed to be either, that is why they call it a tribute. Joss Stone has an excellent voice and Melissa totally rocks! They did an awesome job.

  • i don't like joss, she looks nice, she seems nice.. but not like her singing

  • Stone sucks! How dare she try to do Janice. What's with the pretend hippy shit? God I hate this kind of shit!!!

  • No body does it better than Etheridge !!!!

  • whenever i watch this clip, i fast forward to melissa etheridge's appearance. of COURSE janis is imitated, never duplicated. that's why it's called a tribute!!! and it's the grammy awards!! it's a celebration of profit and record sales, with a few homages thrown in. still, etheridge's performance cuts because she sings with the same desperation. and that scream is at every single demon that has ravaged her body and attacked her life. for the grammys, this is powerful stuff.

  • Just like chalk and cheese,Mellisa has gutwrenching soul but poor Joss Stone; well she's still a baby clearly she hasn't suffered enough yet.

  • So many people can cover so many other people's songs. NO ONE that I know of can ever cover Janis' stuff

  • love melissa but she aint janice

  • f<asd

  • Wow. Let's all shit on the past... what tribute? They both blew. I did find the fake ovation at the end funny because I saw people laughing and rolling their eyes. NOBODY will ever do it like Janis. May she rest in peace.

  • I think Melissa Ethridge did a great job!

  • Melissa rocks - a worthy tribute to Janis!

  • Certainly no one can replace or duplicate Janis, but this is a worthy tribute to her. Ethridge is awesome. Thanks for this video.

  • Janis is dead and I'm sure she would like this version of the song. Janis sung Summer Time and that was definately not meant for her but it's my favorite song by Janis.

  • Melissa Ethridge's powerful voice has and will always give me chills. She's so damn amazing!

  • dont post this shit man . take it off

  • Janis Joplin sprit was there that night and she went into Melissa Etheridge that night.She was saying Melissa baby you will get through this baby.Now sing the shit out my song like if your life depend on it.And she did.Oh by the way was that Joss up there ?

  • Sorry, but as soon as Joss Stone opened her mouth I shut it off....I LOVE JANIS and Joss did nothing for the song....Janis is the ONLY one who can sing this song...WHY do people try to take a BEAUTIFUL song from a BEAUTIFUL person and make it their own??? Leave Janis alone please!

  • Janis > All

  • great !!!!

  • Joss stone should be killed, she has no power in her voice just drama and accent!! What a wanker she tried doing Dusty Springfield recently on uk Tv son of a preacher man, question is Joss dear who will be doing you in twenty years time? Answer nobody you talentless Kharoki singer

  • can some one remind who the hell baldy bill is !
