Love to watch Amber melt down! We ALL knew you would when you finally did Melissa. So good!🔥🤙

I can't remember when Melissa finally got big enough to be safe in coming out as a lesbian, but it made such a difference in hearing all her previous songs of love and longing that were originally interpreted as if she was straight, and then all the ones moving forward, like this one. One of the best female voices in rock history. Definitely check out some of the other hits. I doubt anyone else has suggested that you listen to Nicole Atkins and her song 'The Way It Is', but she would blow you away. One of the most soaring and powerful choruses I know of, and gives me chills every time I hear it.

That's right, her songs fit from the song writers view as straight or gay. It all works as she rocks out.

If there's one thing that Melissa does is 'shred' her voice like no other! No matter how you feel about it, you can't but help loving her music while her activism just says 'We are all just us. Glad you are here as you!' :) Now my favorite Melissa Ethridge song 'Come to my Window' kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKaCxbOIn8XAZqg.html

She'd actually just come from a chemotherapy session right before that performance, and she said it took every bit of energy she had to hit that crazy note toward the end of the song...but she did it, and the whole performance was incredible! She went straight home after and right to bed...but that performance is iconic, and it blows me away every time I hear it. What I find even more impressive, is the way she handled her son's death last summer (2020). She'd been doing regular performances from home during quarantine, and she didn't stop. She said it's music that has always gotten her through the toughest times, so why would she stop? At the time, I'd just come home from the hospital after having a double bypass (heart surgery), and it was an emotional time for me...but watching her videos after she'd just lost her son gave me strength. She's always an inspiration.

This song was released in 1993 and was an instant hit for Melissa Ethridge. It's my favorite song by her. Her voice is so strong and haunting!💖💖

Amber will be happy to hear that Melissa Etheridge has covered some of Janis Joplin's songs, and she actually inducted Janis Joplin into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. At the 2005 Grammy Awards show, Melissa Etheridge did a Janis Joplin tribute that was amazing. She was in chemotherapy at the time and showed tremendous grit appearing in public to perform that tribute. You can find videos of the tribute performance on KZread. Another great Melissa Etheridge song is "Come to My Window".

She's one of the few vocalists that can scream and make it sound like singing.

A lot of people didn't know that Melissa was singing her songs to other women. They didn't figure it out until later on when she came out. She is an unbelievable singer and we couldn't get enough of her music. That raspy voice and the music itself was intoxicating!

Next stops: "Chrome Plated Heart," "Somebody Bring Me Some Water." By the way, Melissa Etheridge worships Janis Joplin; she cites her as a major influence on her own music.

So glad you found Melissa Etheridge. I used to own a retail CD store for 11 years and promoted concerts for 7 years. The first year I was open there were 4 albums that changed the direction of popular music: Joe Satriani - Surfing With the Alien; Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction; Living Colour - Vivid; and Melissa Etheridge’s self titled first album. In trying to get customers to try her first album, I told hundreds of people “If Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan had had a kid, it would have been Melissa Etheridge.” I saw her live twice in the early years. “Like the Way I Do” is a hard rockin’ love lost song. She plays the hell out of her 12-string and I love some of the uncommon language she uses in this one and “Bring Me Some Water,” both on her first release.

This lady is the blues on FIRE!!!

She ROCKS!! Must watch "Like the way I do", 1988 live. Awez-mazing!!!!

Melissa Etheridge is actually a huge Janis Joplin fan. Many years ago, she was even planning to make a Janis Joplin biopic (didn't happen though). I had a ticket to see her in concert when COVID hit, and it has been rescheduled a couple of times but is now set for next month. This song was 1993, but she did more both before and after this.

'Somebody Bring Me Some Water' and 'Like The Way I Do'. These are my favourite songs of hers, serious rock. Thanks as always you guys,

Your next Melissa Ethridge song should be Come To My Window. You’ll LOVE it!!

"Come to My Window" is my favorite Melissa Ethridge tune

My husband is a massive fan of Melissa Etheridge. I got us both tickets to see her live a couple of years ago and was my first introduction to her. She is so amazing live. Conversational, tells a story to every song, and of course has that amazing tone to her voice. During the start of the pandemic lockdown she did daily (free) online concerts and said she was going to continue until lockdown ended no matter how many days, weeks, or months that took. She held true to her word until sadly her son unexpectedly passed away. She loves her fan base and I'm so happy my husband introduced me to her music.

It has been years since I heard this song. When it came on while working, I got into the groove and singing, dancing and playing "air" drums. For you young folks, I am a 72-year old Marine and Vietnam veteran. This is music that keeps me young.

She writes her own music. You can feel her singing from her heart. You can feel the longing in her voice that makes the story real.

Oh man, Amber is gonna LOVE this one! Great choice once again, guys - peace and love from Canada!

Melissa Etheridge - Come To My Window was another huge hit!!

Melissa is AWESOME! One of the best concerts ever.

🤘🤘🤘 give Bonnie Raitt let's give them somethin to talk about a listen if you wish

I remember when this first came out. So much grit!!

Just seen her in Louisville Kentucky she jammed on a different guitar all night plus did some drumming awesome show and you could tell she loves her fans loved your reactions

You MUST watch this....Melissa's performance was amazing! Live From the kodack Theater Somebody Bring Me Some Water.

Her music is fantastic! She is releasing a new album this week. It’s music similar to this song; it’s music she wrote in 1989, but didn’t release. She has had a rough year. Her son who was in his 20’s passed away in the summer of 2020 of an overdose. It’s heartbreaking.

Another. Great. Reaction. This is Melissa Etheridge at her zenith. This was early ‘90’s. She reminds me of a more healthy, forthright Janis. Had she lived, she would likely have transitioned to sounds like this. Melissa was obviously heavily influenced by Janis and has spoken of her eloquently. You should also react to her acoustic rendition of “Piece of My Heart,” which she performed live while inducting JJ into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 - very brave and incredible performance. Also her own tune “Come to My Window” is well worth your reaction. In some ways even stronger than this one.

It’s called belting. They sing with their “chest voice,” (Sound comes from the throat) rather than their “head voice” (Sound is aimed at the bridge of the nose.) think of opera singers. Since you just listened to her, Olivia Newton John uses her head voice.

Got to see and hear Bonnie Raitt!! She inspired and backed Melissa's career. Bonnie's induction to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2000 is perfect. She and Melissa do a duo "A Thing Called Love"!! Unbelievable guitar duo. Bonnie Raitt is simply unbelievable from her singing to her guitar playing!!!!!! Thank you for the great reaction!

Try Rock Steady. Bonnie is fierce.

She's amazing in concert.

Definitely check out Bonnie Raitt ‘Something to Talk About’

You guys would love to hear Melissa covering Janis Joplin... I believe it was her first public appearance after battling cancer.... So powerful

Mellisa survived a battle with breast cancer ,and still is killing it today , also has cocert dates in 2024, God bless her she not only sings about being a strong woman , she is one.

Still catching up with the old RSR videos! It’s such a treasure trove (and a pleasure trove to boot!). Not just my favorite Melissa Etheridge song, but one of my favorite songs period. Such raw passion that’s rarely matched (by Janis, maybe). Your taste in music is extraordinary!

Saw her in concert and her voice was perfect. A great artist.

Patty Smyth of the band Scandal had several hits in the 80s. Their song "Goodbye to You" is always a favorite on karaoke night!

Melissa!! finally, yeah what a rocker, great voice, great songs love her

Melissa etridege is soulful and bluesey female rocker from the the early 90s

Omg you did it! I am so excited that you like her
