@MsSusanmary Why? I said I don't like it, although I agree the story behind it is fair. But it has nothing to do with me and I simply just don't like it.
When music and people with talents are real, without synthesizers and music enhancers !! truly a talent with mega superbly good voice that accentuates feel and emotions...... where have all that gone to in our current time ???
my mom always sang this song to me... i never realised it was an actualy song!! listening to this brings it all back... thank you janice for making my memories click back into place! x
I love you Janis. But, one thing. I'll never understand why you wrote this song. You are so truly beautiful, and sexy! I had such a crush on you when I was in high school. I would play this song over, and over again- relating to every single line. I was truly ugly, and not popular. Dean from Denver, Colorado.
i am also a guy who could feel this song the girls always seeked the hottest looking guys i could not even get a girl to talk to me back then it's funny cause i always thoght i was kind of cool and played ball and always had guys who thoght i was cool to hang out with but for girls i was an alien.
good luck to all on never feeling like that again.
i am approxamately the same age as janis; i remember when this song came out and i thought it was the best ever back then. we weird and nerdy boys can also relate to much of the song's premises!!
Well I can't say I like this song but I have to listen to it for an English assignment...
Worst 5 minutes of the task.

howdydoo is right. And what is sad is that you don't need talent anymore to make it.

For all Janis fans, please listen to "Water Colors" on here. Timeless ...

a mature Janis receives comments of childhood; another view: the servitude we render blindly to undeserving arrogance at any age.

That song is a true classic. It speaks to every kid that felt awkward and out of place.

Yes, guys can relate as well, at least I can. There seemed to be a different level of "cool" that I wasn't allowed into back then. Sad.

alverson123, that is perhaps what attracted me to this song. I've loved her ever since...the better part of 30 years. I'll always love Janis.

Janis is still there!!! For 40 years now. Why can she be in some talkshow like Oprah Winfrey's? She can tell a great story and bring a great message!
