re: Why isn't Jewel considered one of the pop greats

because she is just a normal everyday person who doesn't try to be hollywood. If she would have played the game like "hollywood " peolpe are supposed to then she would have been bigger. She definitely had more talent in her pointed tooth than Brittany spears has in her whole body. Her dad, uncle, and cousin's are on a show where they live in Alaska . They all live off the grid and are like simple people. I think its called the last frontier. But she visits from time to time. Her family are all down to earth people who don't need much to be happy.

Jewel can’t sing, change my mind

A song that was apparently written to make fun of Jewel:

Moment in the Sun - Clem Snide

When it's my moment in the sun
Oh, how beautiful I'll be
But in a normal sort of way
Like I am you and you are me
Cause I have a lot of things to say
And you'd be wise to listen good
I think that hunger, war, and death
Are bringin' everybody down
When it's my moment in the sun
I'll share my problems with the world
And psychosomatically I'll sing
To god and all his pretty girls
When it's my moment in the sun
I won't forget that I am blessed
But every hero walks alone
Thinking of more things to confess

She married Ty Murray, not Bill Murray.
