She used to sing in the coffee shop below my apartment complex on Turquoise st in San Diego( N. Pacific Beach). I’d be walking home and hear here singing with a little crowd in there. ❤
My wife and I were walking one night in Ocean Beach back in the late 90s and saw a big crowd in a parking lot. It was Jewels farwell performance before making it to the big time.
In the end and in the beginning, only salvation from sin through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is the only thing that matters otherwise God would have destroyed everything when Adam sinned, but God is merciful giving his creation a second chance to repent and to come to the cross of salvation.
@@stur.7502Excuse me but, you are Looney Tunes. Salvation comes from within and the will to survive. Isn't it ironic that in the land where Jesus Christ was born, innocent people are being slaughtered over a piece of land. You're the one who needs to be saved.
A lot of people don’t know her story about when she got signed and the stuff she did to protect herself. This was a homeless girl, playing at a coffee house, who’s song made it on our radio station in LA because the DJ there heard it and played it and it became a top request at the radio station, over the commercial stuff the record companies were putting out. She became the hottest commodity in LA and every record company wanted her. She went to the library before even thinking about signing with any of these people and read a book about the record industry, in her words, recording industry for dummies. Which explained exactly how the business worked and how much they screwed Artists like her out of not only money, but royalties and the rights to their music. Armed with this newly learned information, she formulated a record deal that included her rights and a higher percentage of the earnings on the front and back end. Remember, she was homeless at the time when she did this. Didn’t have a penny to her name. Yet she had the forethought to protect herself. set up a deal that very few Musicians ever get and is in the position she is today because of it. The record companies could have turned their back and walked away. But because of her success without them, she became the hottest commodity in LA. The story is absolutely amazing and the fact that she had the balls to essentially cut her own deal the way she wanted it in the face of losing millions of dollars, is just mind blowing. God bless this girl.
Boy did she hit it right on the nail when she said that you can't track your thoughts in real time when suffering from anxiety and let's not leave out depression because both go hand in hand . Everyday is a challenge. And as for the millions of people suffering from this mental illnesses like I am , I say be strong . I know it's easier said than done but we have to in order to live a somewhat normal life . Peace and love .
Show business is exactly that…a “show. The artists are most often a character they or someone has created and that character is not who they really are. Audiences desperately crave that perfect character and willingly suspend their disbelief so they can immerse themselves in the fantasy along with the artist. Jewel and a select few other artists have presented themselves in a real fashion, or at least as real as they can and still keep their private lives for themselves. I admire the love and respect she has for her father, after all he must have gone through. Good for her for growing and healing from that and finding herself. Many many people never do.
Remembering the first time hearing Jewel on the radio singing, no idea who she was, what she looked like, I was clueless! But that voice, some kind of authenicity behind or in the sound, I just suddenly loved this unknown artist. Over all these years since, she has more than filled any thought of "beautiful human being" I have ever had. A long full happy life to you Jewel, you have given me so much to live and survive with thank you thank you thank you.
One of the most beautiful woman with the most beautiful soul. So happy she was strong enough to pull herself up. God bless her and any young lady the uses her as a mentor!
I didn't know much about Jewel but she is both brilliant and beautiful. Her energy is warm and engaging, honest and real. What a lovely combo of a personality!
GREAT VIDEO JEWELL!!! THANK YOU FOR BEARING YOUR SOUL. FOR THAT IS HOW WE CAN GET THE HEALING WE NEED. THAT IS WHAT I LEARNED FIRSTHAND. WHILE GOING THROUGH MY DIVORCE. GOD LOVES A HUMBLE HEART.
She is so awesome. It's not an easy thing to open up about vulnerabilities but the truth is abosutely the best place to be even though it may not appear to be at times. In fact, you sometimes become the messenger that some want to kill.
@@ahill4642 Thanks. I'll be on the lookout for them. Heck, I may already have them. My wife died a year ago and I'm going through things I didn't even know we had. 😳
Smart woman she didn't sell her soul. Back in the early 00s, my college crush looked like Jewel and until this day I regret for letting her get away. Shout out to Jewel blessings to her.
Very informative and interesting to learn Jewel's thought process, and how she, with intention, navigated her life. Wonderful to hear. And see, but really it could have been radio and just as fascinating.
Love it, what an amazing woman. Man, she and I could talk for hours about the human psyche...I get off learning about that kind of stuff. What makes us tick.
Having spent my age 13 to 18 years on the street as the result of an ugly divorce ... being stripped of everything but my physical, mental and emotional tools was the most liberating thing that ever happened to me. From those depths I found my conscience and then my character. The moment character and conscience became my reason for surviving, I found myself. Thank you Jewel. You were angelic in Ghosts of Christmas Eve ... and are even more awesome in person. Thank you for sharing 🙂
She is spot on with her take about feeling safe when alone and she probably does the very same thing to this day and will always expose herself in her writing which happens to be something she does in solitude as well. I can relate. Very unique that's for sure. I doubt she was homeless in Alaska though. Brrrrrrrr Lover her voice and music.
She's awesome. For those that haven't seen her Funny or Die skit when she went to a karaoke bar in disguise,and sang her own songs, Check it out. Its good.
I met a woman who owned a Bathing suit shop on the beach in San Diego and she told me about Jewel playing her guitar for money on the Board walk outside her store and she had every Jewel CD at the time and that she had a condo in Cottonwood ,Arizona where I met her back in 2006.
Jewel is truly a gem. Shine on, you beautiful diamond. ❤
PINK _
@@bobbywolff1274 She is a Floyd Rose !!
@@annarakannan6620a crazy Floyd Rose diamond. Shining on.
Dan looks Rather dumbfounded by her beauty. "Oh, to be younger again."
She absolutely is! Good call!!
Jewel was always a light when I had my dark times. Hearing her now I am still seeing the light and thankful that I got to watch this today in 2025'.
Lovely and beautiful soul. Great story!
She has an amazing view of herself everyday. We could all take notes.
She used to sing in the coffee shop below my apartment complex on Turquoise st in San Diego( N. Pacific Beach). I’d be walking home and hear here singing with a little crowd in there. ❤
You can tell she is spectacularly intelligent and filled with drive and common sense. Brains, beauty, kindness and talent. What a combination.
I've always loved and admired Jewel....She is amazingly strong.
Thank you for being you Jewel ❤

Beautiful inside and out. Bravo Jewel!
Love Jewel. She's so strong and wise.
She’s incredibly insightful with regard to the human condition, and this pops out of the pages of the stuff she writes.
Great! That turned into a wonderful testimony. All that matters is who you are now.
She was gorgeous when she was younger and first became known. She's even more gorgeous now!
This interview was nearly ten years ago.
What a beautiful soul ❤
She was born into being an old soul! I have a granddaughter like her😊
might be a New Soul !!

I've adored Jewel from the start. She's so beautiful (inside & out) and extremely intelligent !!! 💎

Wow. Respect.
A great interview and thank you for sharing. This gal, her fortitude are inspiring.
Learning about Jewel the person is helping to gain her fans. Now, I'm becoming a fan.
