@Fred Djahmfala I am sorry you are so disenchanted. I suggest you listen to artists like Tyler Childers. the revival of roots and folk music is a big deal and there is some wonderful art coming out of there. I still follow punk, blues and metal and all of them have more integrity and honesty now due to the fact the majority of fans will not accept bubblegum bs. You need to go deeper than the music that makes you angry. St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Hayes Carll, Fred Eaglesmith, Alabama Shakes, Colter Wall, Metallica, The Gallows, JJ Grey and Mofro, The Black Keys, Old Crow Medicine Show, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, they are all brilliant. Janis would explode because you are right there is a bunch of stuff that is sanitized, manufactured crapola out there but people know real shit when they hear it. Howlin Wolf said it best "If it's in the groove, everybody loves it." I would also say if you think pop music is bad today, take a look at pop music in the 1960's, it was terrible. There's a reason why Mama Cass was watching her with her mouth wide open, because Janis was so real it shattered what was popular.

I remember Cass on a late night talk show explaining she was blown away by not only the sound but also the visuals. Women singers of the time were poised and controlled. ‘Plastic’ as Janis would describe them.

This concert was in June 1967, I saw Janis the following August in Seattle. She was mesmerizing, shocking, soulful, and fully committed to each song. It was so different at the time from the bubbly, happy, pop music, the 'everyday people' folk rock sound, Motown, or the sound of the British Invasion which dominated the airwaves. For those of us familiar with the blues and gritty Black soul that wasn't often played on 'white' radio, we could here the mournful rawness of southern Blues in Janis. We could hear the distinct influences of east Texas and southern Louisiana Black soul/blues. The way it was combined with the psychedelic sounds of Big Brother/Holding Co. was jaw dropping at the time. That fusion of psychedelic rock and her raw soul/blues was completely unique. Her vibrato, when and how she used it, was also unusual and different, both for any kind of rock as well as blues. She began changing things up fairly quickly though and you can hear the change in her Pearl album before she died. We knew she wasn't going to stay static in style or delivery over time. Sadly, we never got to see where she would ultimately go with her music.

Janis kicked the door open for female solo singers. SHE NEVER DISAPPOINTS! Her fan base only grows. Listen to Summertime or Maybe. The best way to hear her is live.

Janis shred notes with her voice, the way a heavy metal guitarist shreds notes from his instrument. Her intensity and feelings were unmatched by any performer or singer on stage before or since her initial stardom. So yeah, I'd say she was uniquely gifted and a 'one in a million-larger than life' type of singer and stage presence. Even the intro to this particular tune sounded strangely off and weird, but captured the chaotic, but powerful soul of Janis Joplin. She sings NOT with just vocal chords, but with every inch of her body, mind and spirit. BTW, congrats on your new gig with the opera company.

You can see Mama Cass reacting in the audience.

I think that if Janis was around today, she would tear up the Blues scene, which is all about emotions. Can you imagine Janis at the Blue Note in NYC? She would pack them in.

The legendary Mama Cass Elliott sitting in the audience open mouthed and totally engaged. Awesome.

This was my mother's music growing up, brings back memories of my childhood, I had every song memorized by heart. All the vocal training in the world could never match the passion she had. If this doesn't give you goosebumps then you're dead inside

Janis may not be the most technical singer or have the “prettiest” voice but what she does have and what makes her one of the greatest singers of all time is soulfulness, intensity and raw emotion. In comparison, todays music seems small, inconsequential and fake. I think most folks enjoy a singer who can be fun and spontaneous with their vocals and not seem over-practiced or rehearsed and Janis was certainly spontaneous and raw. She had a vulnerability that made her, as another reactor put it, imperfectly perfect.

03:13 This is the calmest I've heard Janis. Janis 17 seconds layer...."hold my Jack Daniels."

I was there, a square young kiwi, and was just blown away. When she came on stage she seemed rather shy and nervous, but when she started singing all that dropped away and she had us all in the palm of her hand. Even Mama Cass, who was a mean singer in her own right was astounded by the passion and virtuosity. Janice, just nailed it on the first large audience to hear her, and the era of flower children and freaks was born to the world.

Janis Joplin would be just as relevant today as she was 55 years ago for sure...her utterly unique & incredibly passionate style have made a huge impact on the music scene and been a constant source of inspiration & influence for so many vocalists ever since...reaches every part of me when i listen to this astonishing performance - absolutely jaw-dropping & timeless...

Her style has a lot in common with gospel preaching in that era as well. It's like she is preaching about the events in her life in the song itself.

That's not the story I heard, David. The 1960s blues promoter Dick Waterman told a story of a time when Janis sauntered into a nightclub where Big Mama was playing, and grabbed a table. Before performing Ball and Chain, her original, she launched into a speech about how some people have been singing her songs and making a lot of money off of them, but she herself hadn't seen a dime. Then she delivered the payload (paraphrased) "I'm still out here strugglin', and these other folks are singing about buying a Mercedes-Benz!" Janis reportedly got the message, slammed a $20 bill down on the table and stormed out.

@@jayro76 From what I gathered, her relations to various artists varied. She had respect for Joplin and her band. They shared the same venue multiple times, and when that occured, Joplin would more often than not introduce "Ball and Chain" by saying Thornton wrote it (which wasn't exactly true. The text was written for her by two young fans of hers). And prior to that, before the first time the band used the song, they went in person to ask her if she'd be willing to let them cover it. Joplin wasn't shy about citing Thornton as a major influence on her own music. Now when it comes to Presley's cover of Hound Dog, it's another story. She was barely if at all credited, and told "Rolling Stone": “Everybody livin’ in a house but me. I’m just livin’.” because Elvis sparked a cover craze (more than 250 different covers) (which may be the basis for the story you heard). Her super hit was forgotten alongside her, burried under Elvis the Pelvis' fame. It's later, with Joplin's openness about the source of the song, that her career took a small turn for the better.

You will be blown away hun!. I was listening to her while in my moms belly. She died one month and 9 days b4 I was born. I too dot my i’s with a heart. God bless and enjoy!!✨✌️💜🎶 No.. you’re a rare breed most today don’t get. The gal in the sunglasses in audience is MAMA CASS from the Mama’s and the Papa’s . California dreaming. She died at age 27.

She was a child, a woman, an animal and a baby. Just her. If you listen to this song a lot, you’ll understand every lick. Does something for your soul.

Janis is one of the 27 Club - artists who died at the age of 27 - and she was unique and still is. The things is, her performances weren't fake, she lived the music. Look at the songs she sings, they're almost all highly emotional songs - Cry Baby, Move Over, Woman Left Lonely, Little Girl Blue - to name a few I fell in love with her music in 1974 when I accidentally walked into a movie theatre showing the documentary "Janis" and I've been in love with her music for almost 50 years now. One of her comments in the movie that has haunted me was what she said on the Dick Cavett show before going back to her school reunion: "they laughed me our of the school, they laughed me out of the town and they laughed me out of the state. So I'm goin' home"

She touches the human heart with her singing. Yes!

Yes She sings with emotion and I don't care what era she comes out in she's a top seller.

yes. she has incredible charisma and stage presence. Piece of My Heart live in Germany ( I think it is Germany) when she invites people up on stage really showcases her talents.

I am 19 yrs old now and I really love Janis Joplin's voice, It's just so free and pure expression. I think in my circle of friends I am the only one who listen to this kind of music. I don't know anything about music but I know her music is a pure art. It's like nothing is holding her back. As an art student, we often get stuck with technicalities and the hows of things rather than addressing the whys, storytelling should come first and that's what I love about her. I wish I could do that too. Story and passion over techniques.

“Is that what it supposed to sound like?“ Yes. Whether it’s music or visual arts it’s the artist who pushes taste who make it to the top of my list. I can’t imagine that guitar intro any other way when you’re done listening to Janice sing! I think I felt the same way as you when I first heard Nirvana.

Janis Joplin was from my era,and I thought she was awesome. No one can sing like her!!

I think she would have the same impact i think people admire and love entertainers with passion. I also think that passion is needed today

Love the shot of Mama Cass Elliot in the audience, appreciating a talent similar but different from hers.

She came to Monterey an unknown and left the biggest new star in the business. The woman in the crowd was Cass Elliot, already a star and a powerhouse singer you'd like. Janis was 21 or 22 here. Watch some of Janis's interviews, she was sincere and adorable. And the Beatles didn't change with the times - they changed the times. Go back and watch how pop music followed their lead for most of the sixties.

Yes, she'd be appreciated today, her authenticity is timeless and she has a spectacular voice to express it.

This is the First Time the World saw Janis. she was only 24 at the time, Invited by Cass Eliot who was part of the group putting on the Monterey Show , a friend of Cass Eliot's saw her in a club months before. She Crushed her first time in front of a large crowd thats why she was skipping off stage

I think that talent like this, transcends time and she would be a huge concert star now.

When she sang...she did it with her heart & soul!!! Her whole body is an extension of her singing...& herself!

The woman in the crowd that the camera kept focusing on was the great "Mama Cass" Elliot, one of the premier folk singers of the era and a producer of the Monterey Pop festival. Janice and her band were relative unknowns before this concert, which catapulted them to national prominence.

People still encounter Janis fresh without any previous understanding of Janis and are blown away. So her style still resonates and has power. I think the more challenging thing is that the music industry is so homogenized today which makes it way harder for artists to break through if they don’t fit into the standard templates.

Undeniably one of the greatest vocal artists of all time. Regardless of genre, race, gender, era or anything like that Janis Joplin still stands as one of the greatest of all time and there will never be anyone like her. There's very few artists you can say that about.

Janis shone so brightly that her light would be as blinding today as it was back then. My favorite part is watching her legs and feet, and the way she almost levitates. Not to mention the way her voice just drips with emotion and her pain shows on her face. By the way, that is Cass Elliott in the audience seeing Janis for the first time and being absolutely blown away loke everyone else. Janis wasnt very well known at the time. Ive seen this performance too many times to count and still get chills every time! She is very special to me and we even share a birthday tho some years apart. Rock In Peace Janis!

Mama Cass looked stunned in awe of what she's hearing

I always thought she needed a better band, which she got later. Love seeing Mama Cass in awe of Janice. This one always gets me teary eyed.

She was unique to say the least. She would be right up there today with Adele.

When they came off the stage, some producers signed the band on the spot; they were stunned!

That lady in awe in the crowd is the late great Mama Cass Elliot from the Mamas and the Papas.

Courtney Hadwin is the closest artist I’ve seen that matches the vocal style and passion seen from Janis Joplin, many love her for the same reason they love Janis. So yes, someone like Janis today would fit in quite well and I think Courtney proves it. You should react to some of her stuff.

Listen to her range, dynamics, emotional projections, she is awesome, one of the best. And I began to listen to her only since two weeks ago.

I had not heard this song in over 20 years. Grew up listening to Janis, my father and older siblings were huge fans. But, I came of age in the 80's so I was more into Rush, Van Halen etc. At the end of the video just now, I realized Janis had made me cry! Great reaction. Thanks for doing this.

From watching tons of young kids doing reaction videos to Janice and having their mind blown and adoring her, I would say yes she would be relevant today! Her greatness knows no era! She sings with passion and soul and it's not about perfection all about emotion and that makes people feel the thrill of music.

I think anybody who deeply loves music with a passion would love and appreciate Janis regardless of which era we would discover her in. They will love the passion and intensity of her voice. I've always favored passion and soul over technical perfection. Sure, there may not seem to be so many people who feel this way but we're out here. Young and old.

it wouldnt matter what people thought, this song still makes me move, cry, tremble. I feel alive when she busts out

I’d say yes because so many reactors many from the younger generation go crazy over her . I think they recognize the raw passion in her voice ; the lack of the production is intriguing to them. Music today music is so polished and perfect that many have rarely heard a singers real voice and honest passion. Janis was 27 when she died in 1970. One of a kind.

Janis sings to your heart and soul...so yes.. until people stop feeling she will always own that with her voice. Her music did not end with your ears, but with your heart and soul.

She's got the clarity when she wants to use it. Listen to " little girl blue". It's there, but when she wants to rock she will Unapologeticly do it. I cant stand when people use the word raspy or compare her to Courtney Hadwin. I loved everything she did.....everything.

Exactly! She could wail like a banshee or bring it on down to sing a ballad, or pull out some gorgeous soprano notes when appropriate. Something else I take note of is her impeccable timing, as well as her ability to ad lib whenever she felt called to. Just a lovely, highly intelligent...heck, a downright goddess in my opinion! What a gift she was for the world in those 3 short magical years 💖

She passed when I was in college. This added to her mystic. She was so unique , I think she would do well in any era.

One of the best live rock performances ever.

"Is that the way it's supposed to sound like?" Yes, my dear, but it helps if you are on acid.

"Would Janice do well if she started today?" It's not so much that timing is everything. It's more that innovation is everything. In the 60s people were trying a lot of different things out - some worked, some didn't. The discordant/strident guitar at the beginning offends our ears to a certain degree, but if you listen to Jimmy Hendrix playing the national anthem at Woodstock and realize he's integrating the sounds of the Vietnam war - bombs, mortars, etc. you listen from a different perspective rather than just chord structure. You've heard from a lot of people who took the best from this experimental time and added to it and cut out some of the stuff that didn't work. Would she do well if she was starting a career today with this song? Probably not. But, the music today would be so much simpler if she hadn't helped lay the foundation. If she were born today and grew up on today's music, her experiments would probably sound much different, but she isn't a fashion model, so it would be a rough road in today's video-centric industry.

If you didn't know, that woman in the audience at the end was Mama Cass from the Mommas and the Poppas who was one of the biggest hits at the time - and she was wowed by Janis

Her expressiveness is for all times.

It was definitely a brand new experience for that particular audience as it was Ms Janis's debut on the public stage, no one had ever heard her before. Much of her live performance I watched through the years was always unique and a bit unnerving at times but I was never disappointed!!! She was an undeniable force of nature, a brilliant light that lit up the sky then burned out way too soon. If she had appeared on that stage today, she would have commanded it and enthralled everyone instantly the minute she walked out without a doubt. I strongly encourage you to listen to more of her material. You are a trained opera singer with a beautiful voice that I know you have trained long and hard for, much respect, and I commend you for your willingness to listen outside the box on your channel. One thing in particular that I have learned as I got older is that I still have so much more to learn and experience! Based on the few performances of Ms Joplin you have heard, you may think she is not your cup of tea, but I promise you that she has many more shades to her voice that you will find quite remarkable. Check out "Summertime". Also, I have heard an artist named Beth Hart who emulates Ms Janice at times. She is quite the force of nature in her own right.✌

Thank you for your lovely comment! 💖 Hope you are having a lovely weekend! 😊 Can't wait to see you tomorrow on my livestream: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaWiu6yzfNLYcs4.html

Just a side note, if someone hasn't already mentioned it: The woman down front, in the audience (the one the camera holds onto for some time) who seems mesmerized by Janis' performance is Mama Cass (Cass Elliot) of the Mamas & the Papas.

Miss Maggie...Jains was a phenom from Port Arthur, Texas. A gift from God. She was way ahead of her peers. She was absolutely a natural. Even she said she played above the music. She had that certain something that not many other humans possess! In case you don't know, that lady in the sunglasses in the audience that was admiring the show was Mamma Cass of the Mamas and the Papas who happened to be at the height of their game during that period.

Janis problem wouldn't be accepted in this age with ALL of the lip syncing, autotune, backing vocals and all of the other deception that make todays current artists supposedly sound good. So no, Janis actually sings. You can feel her words. It should be illegal to charge people for tickets to a live show with all of the lip syncing and other BS!

Janis Joplin is timeless...Sometimes even the most professional singers might go flat while singing on stage..That's okay.Even if she goes flat at times,it did not bother her nor did it distract the audience ...That's the power of music that's the power of her passion...

I was born two months later. I think my mom must have heard this on the radio and that is why I like it.

That band she had at that time had a lot of rough edges, and weren't that far out of the garage. They would pretty consistently try to overachieve, and do things they weren't quite up to. But all that gave them a unique appeal of its own, and kinda fit with Janis's sort of outsider status. Later on, she would be pressured into replacing them with a more seasoned "professional" band, and while technically it was better, a little something was lost. I don't think Janis was ever really happy with the change...

No auto tune, thats why those old singers where so impressive, pure and real.

The woman who went wow was Mama Cass from The Mamas and The Papas a great singer in her own right but still amazed by Janis Joplin

Little Girl Blue... is my favorite Joplin song

I was at this Festival as it was in my home town! Jimi Hendrix and so many others broke out to a wider audience at this time. I saw Janice a few years later in San Francisco. To answer your question I think absolutely she would break through today because her authenticity and 100% passion in every performance would set her apart in any age. She felt like a force of nature. The woman in the audience that was visibly knocked out was Mama Cass from the Momas and Popas. Yes she looks young here. She was 24 and only lived three more years💔😔. Thanks for your reaction✌️🦋

Very cool!

I think her work would still be relevant today. Other greats from that era have moved with their work, evolved and continued to create excellence. She pushed boundaries and always chased expression in her work.

Definitely!! She’s amazing at any time. What makes her great is the emotion and the imperfections!

Janis would definitely be a hit because she does blues like no one has or ever will with that type of voice and feeling. I'm an old timer and grew up with her, Jimi, Gracie Slick and the rest of the 60s and 70s......

that talent would have an impact in any era. Talent always comes through

People more than ever are craving authenticity, it's such a rarety in our modern music.

My favorite part of this performance is Mama Cass Elliot in the audience with her mouth agape, having her life made!

I am facinated by the 20's and 30's and 40's and have realized that in many ways because of the economics society may have been more supportive of young people than now, i know that in the 50's people. Just loved all children, my father could be a very nice guy and loved music, every young person should have been given something by their family.

This is timeless. Talent is talent at anytime.

Yes she still has the same impact today. Kids know who she is. She was 24 when she sang this

the lady they show in the audience was mama Cass Elliot of the mamas and the papas. a big star herself

She's one the greatest of any generation....greatness transcends time.
